Americana Highways is pleased to premiere “Three Quarter Time” from David Quinn’s upcoming debut album Wandering Fool, produced by Andrija Tokic (Margo Price, Banditos). “Three Quarter Time” is David Quinn on vocals and rhythm acoustic guitar, Dave Roe (Johnny Cash) on upright bass, Jimmy Lester (Billy Joe Shaver) on drums, Micah Hulscher (Margo Price, Rodney Crowell) on piano and organ; John Estes (John Paul White) on lead electric guitar with Alexis Saski on vocal harmonies.
Quinn has created a classic country waltz, and as we imagine ourselves dancing at the honky tonk as the vocal harmonies mingle, much to our delight: “there’s a love song in three quarter time.” Wandering Fool is sure to be a top-rated debut album of this year.
Leahey sees himself as being in the tradition of FM rock and the clue is very much in the title, with Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen offered as the most obvious comparisons. It’s not hard to see why and certainly if you like that top-down, air in your hair feeling then this might be the one for you – it is no doubt well sung and well played with plenty of guitar soloing.
In the midst of concert rehearsals, meeting fans at their merch table and a performance video, Roses & Cigarettes’ Jenny Pagliaro is fighting a much bigger battle with stage IV breast cancer.
The nearly four-minute clip features Pagliaro and Angela Petrilli’s memorable harmonies alongside ear-grabbing guitar parts, a steady drum beat and a message of living life to the fullest in the midst of Pagliaro’s hospital visits for cancer treatment. “I got a date with the reaper/ The devil wants my heart in his hands/ I’m gonna give him a few more reasons/ Start living just as fast as I can,” they croon on the chorus.
The more you age, the more you come to recognize that the “straight and narrow” simply doesn’t exist. One can have a plan and work hard to stay the course, but life has this nasty, glorious habit of always getting in the way; you never quite know where you’re heading. The only thing we can really know for certain is where we are right now, and often times it’s not exactly the place we hoped to be. A fervent moment of clarity, Justin Roeland’s rollicking “Desolation” marries prudent reflection with inner turmoil in a colorful, raw indie rock avalanche. READ MORE…
Nashville singer-songwriter D.L. Rossi bares his soul on his forthcoming album A Sweet Thing (due out on April 12). The album was written in the wake of a battle with cancer and a divorce.
“Something Back,” which Wide Open Country is premiering today, is a soul-searching ballad about what happens when everything you thought you knew is turned upside down.
Rossi says the song, which was the first track written for the album, helped him navigate his next stage of life.
