Nashville-based Americana singer-songwriter E.G. Vines looks back on his new song “Drunkard’s Dream,” the latest release from his forthcoming Jordan Lehning-produced album Family Business (out on October 11).

After uploading the aptly-titled “Demo no. 1” to SoundCloud around a year ago, Live Miranda Solberg found herself something of a viral sensation. The Norwegian folk artist was invited to play Øya and by:Larm festivals without an official solo release to her name. Given her work with Americana outfit Silver Lining, this isn’t her first time in the spotlight, but it is with the wispier elegance of her new solo effort, Louien. Now, she is preparing for the release of her solo debut, None of My Words, on 20 September via Jansen.
Americana Highways presents this video premiere of Judy Blank’s “Tiger Eye Stone.” “Tiger Eye Stone” is Judy Blank on vocals & acoustic guitar, Joe Dickey on bass, Ethan Ballinger on electric guitar and Andrew Peebles on drums with Mark Addison Chandler on backing vocals. The album, Morning Sun, was produced by Chris Taylor & Judy Blank. The video was directed and filmed by Johan Verhoeven of Cinecult productions.
“Tiger Eye Stone” is the lyrical tale of a promise ring and the comfort it brings to know somebody back home loves you, when you’re far away. The video has stunning artistic footage as it follows the ring during the travels: “I’m not alone, my baby gave me a ring with a tiger eye stone.” We’ve all had talismans to bring us comfort, and this song tugs at those feelings. Judy Blank’s Morning Sun is an indie folk ray of sunshine.

Ever since he burst out of an Orange County garage in the early part of this decade, power-pop whiz Wyatt Blair has surrounded himself with the music of youthful glee. Diving in to his releases — either his own or the ones from the label he founded, Lolipop Records — has been like opening a fresh, slightly different-flavored bag of candy. Along with like-minded Burger Records, Blair and his label turned revivalism into religion. READ MORE…
