Rhiannon Giddens stoped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to showcase her bluesy, Cajun-infused song “You Louisiana Man.” The musician was joined by her live band and a back-up for the rousing performance, which saw Giddens singing and playing banjo.
“You Louisiana Man” comes off Giddens’ most recent LP, You’re the One, which dropped last August. The album marked her first solo effort in six years and her first collection of all-original songs. It was produced by Jack Splash and featured musical contributions by Giddens’ partner, multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, as well as Dirk Powell,...

When Alice Randall first sat down more than 30 years ago to write “The Ballad of Sally Anne” with Mark O’Connor and Harry Stinson, she wanted to use the murder ballad format to discuss a topic — lynching — that was never mentioned in country music.
“The ugliest fact of Southern life went missing from the country canon,” Randall tells Rolling Stone. “This erasure perpetuated a particular fraud…without addressing the ways in which Southern white lives across class lines and ages were involved in the terrorizing of Black families.”

Under a starry western sky last weekend, Park City Song Summit founder Ben Anderson stood onstage and held court in front of an audience of creatives.
“We’re going to change the legacy and culture of music on this mountain,” Anderson howled into the evening chill, his voice echoing far and wide into the surrounding high-desert peaks of Utah. Then he dove headlong into a rendition of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”

Margo Price Tackled Bodily Autonomy on New Single ‘Lydia’ Years Ago. Now It Feels Like a Premonition
Margo Price’s latest single “Lydia” was written years ago after the musician was struck with inspiration while passing by a women’s health clinic on tour. The song poured out in eight minutes, a moving collection of words about bodily autonomy and women’s rights that she finally recorded last year for her forthcoming album Strays, out Jan. 13. Roe v. Wade hadn’t been overturned when “Lydia” was written or recorded — now it feels like an eerily timely premonition.

Whenever Adia Victoria found herself struggling to write about the South while confined at home throughout 2020, she would turn to the soil. The one source of creative comfort she found was the imposing magnolia tree visible just outside her mother’s house in North Nashville.
“I got really close to that tree,” says the singer-songwriter and artist. “I’m from South Carolina, and like a lot of kids, I grew up in the shade of a magnolia, where I would create worlds with my little sisters and all the little girls in the neighborhood.

Nashville singer-songwriter Adia Victoria will release her new album A Southern Gothic in September. Co-produced by Victoria with Mason Hickman, the album will arrive September 17th and includes appearances by Jason Isbell, Margo Price, and the National’s Matt Berninger.
The album’s first single, “Magnolia Blues,” is also out Wednesday. An eerie, acoustic-guitar-driven tune that expands to thick bass and a ghostly orchestra of strings and banjo, “Magnolia Blues” traces one woman’s journey back home. In the process, it reclaims a piece of Southern iconography for all Southerners.

The 2021 Newport Folk Festival (technically titled “Folk On”) is, for obvious reasons, much different than past installments: Coming off a year of mass tragedy and societal reckoning, this year’s event, ongoing through July 28th, features double the amount of days — six instead of three — reduced capacity, and fewer stages. The first three days were the folkiest in recent memory: more acoustic, more intimate, and more traditionally minded than usual. Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley delivered their timeless Drive-By Trucker tunes as an acoustic duo, Katie Crutchfield performed highlights from her 2020 opus,...

At first, Erin Rae’s new song “He’s Not Free” sounds like a sweetly rendered Southern pastoral, full of “early summer peaches” and “cold water glasses sweating.”
But by the end of the first verse, when Rae rhymes “honeysuckle vines” with “Georgia voters stood in all-day lines” it’s clear that “He’s Not Free” is something else entirely. It’s a sharp-eyed depiction of a South plagued by centuries of racial violence that serves as an understated companion piece to Adia Victoria’s “South Gotta Change.” Both of...

“The veil before your face is falling,” Adia Victoria sings in her latest single, “and it’s falling fast.” The song, “South Gotta Change,” is both a tortured love letter and urgent call to action directed at the Nashville performer’s home region.
Executive produced by T Bone Burnett, “South Gotta Change” is the first release from Victoria since Silences, her 2019 album of spectral, textured roots music. The murky blues-rock offering is one of her most potent yet, a poignant declaration that builds into a powerful vision at the song...

It was supposed to be one of the proudest moments of her career. Adia Victoria was performing with her band at the historic Newport Folk Festival last year when, shortly after their set, a prominent artist performing at the festival went up to Victoria’s black drummer and, out of nowhere, asked for a favor. “She assumed that he was the help,” Victoria recounted, “and we’re playing Americana music, we’re playing blues music, this is our music, you’re a guest in our house. The whole power structure is off.

The Chief dishes out some fatherly advice to his sons, Joy Williams puts a new spin on a Depeche Mode classic and Kacey Musgraves teams up with Ronnie Milsap in this list of songs to stream this week.
Eric Church, “Some of It”
The follow-up single to “Desperate Man” finds Church in a fatherly mood, singing to his two sons about love, faith and the shelf life of good beer. More mainstream than most of his recent boundary-pushing hits, “Some of It” sounds destined for a lifetime of wedding slow dances and graduation-day playbacks.
