An interesting concept: a compilation of the original versions of 17 songs frequently covered by The Grateful Dead in concert. Thoughtfully assembled, it showcases several aspects of their eclectic roots, encompassing jug band folk, country & western, Appalachian mountain music, country blues, '50s Chicago electric blues, R&B, Dylan, Guthrie, Holly, Berry, and more. Some of the recordings are very famous (Dylan's "It's All over Now, Baby Blue," Holly's "Not Fade Away"); others are downright obscure (Obray Ramsey's "Rain and Snow," the rare original version of "Morning Dew" by little-known Canadian folkie Bonnie Dobson).

Every word of the winding title It Will Come to Pass: The Metaphysical Worlds and Poetic Introspections of Willie Nelson indicates that this 2014 Omni compilation is no standard Willie Nelson collection. As is its wont, Omni specializes in the Nashville netherworld that exists somewhere between Tennessee and Hollywood, a place Willie explored quite often in the '60s. Often when his story is told, it's implied there was no room for Nelson in Nashville during the '60s because he was too much of a rough outlaw, but this collection, drawn entirely from records he cut for RCA during that decade, plus a cut or two from the early '70s, illustrates how Willie didn't fit in because he'd descend into spooky, jazzy grooves or strum a 12-string just as often as he'd haul out the western swing.

Watch how you speak on Drakes name, or else he will cut you off with his Mob Ties, as he sings about in the A-side track currently claiming the No. 28 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Never Be the Same is a song by singer Camila Cabello from her debut studio album. Tequila is a song recorded by American country music duo Dan + Shay for their forthcoming third studio and self-titled album. The pop track features a catchy hook and is accompanied featuring glitchy visuals and flying. In case you missed it over the weekend, OVO Radio debuted a new collab from Drake & rising ATL rapper Lil Baby which at the time was called Pikachu. With its hip-hop-infused beat, silky, lip-glossed vocals and Instagram caption-ready lyrics, the song checked all the boxes for chart success.

When originally issued in July of 1965, no one either noticed or cared that in reality The Instrumental Hits was actually a compilation of tracks already available on early Buck Owens & His Buckaroos albums (except for the band's signature song "Buckaroo," which is unique to this package). Regardless of the ratio of new to recycled material, this collection amply highlights the remarkable talents of Owens and his Buckaroos. The retrospective nature of this LP allows listeners to experience the evolution of the potent instrumentalists who accompanied Owens circa 1961-1965.

She’s back with another powerful collection of songs that feature those signature crystalline vocals. With Brea’s continued success, she’s leading the charge for indie artists in Canadian Country Music today. The album hits home with personal stories and feelings that range from self-doubt to triumphant self-confidence. Brea’s small-venue solo acoustic show will mesmerise you with her performance and sheer soulful vocals as she captures emotions and stories in her music and lyrics. Her success is further punctuated with appearances at fairs and festivals (Ottawa Bluesfest, Boots & Hearts, Cavendish Beach Music Festival and Havelock Country Jamboree) just to name a few.

American expatriate Joe Dassin was one of France's most popular singers during the late '60s and '70s, initially building his name with stylized adaptations of folk and country material from his birthplace…

Here's a new Jasmine compilation that will stir a memory or two in the minds of all long-term lovers of what used to be called 'Country And Western'. Back in the 1950s, the 'Country Guitar' series of EPs introduced UK record buyers to many of Country's biggest artists of the period - most of whom subsequently went on to become true legends of the genre. Artists such as Jim Reeves, Porter Wagoner, Skeeter Davis, Hank Locklin and Don Gibson received their first regular exposure here via 'Country Guitar', which eventually ran to 16 volumes over a six-year period (1957-63).

American Fiddle Tunes is a 2000 compilation CD of some of the best fiddle music around. This was released by Rounder Select.

After a long period out of the limelight, hints of Sam Bush's public re-emergence were displayed in 2015's award-winning documentary Revival: The Sam Bush Story. Now with Storyman, his first studio recording in seven years, he's fully present again. This is something of an anomaly in Bush's catalog. He calls it his "singer-songwriter" album, but it's free of any negative connotations that term might suggest. Cut over four years in Nashville and Florida, he produced this set and co-wrote all 11 songs with friends including Guy Clark, Jon Randall Stewart, Jeff Black, Emmylou Harris, and Deborah Holland, as well as his bandmates.

The West of veteran TV writer/Deadwoodcreator David Milch is as grim as it is gritty, sprinkled with salty dialogue and punctuated by sudden brutality and raw sexuality. The original soundtrack cues by composer David Schwartz (represented here by his evocative show theme), Michael Brook and Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek play off that vision with often stark rootsiness. But it's the series' rich slate of songs – choices whose inventiveness often rivals that of The Sopranos – that consistently reinforce its all-too-human drama, if not the crusty veneer. This collection gathers the best songs from the series' first season, coloring the milieu with evocative hillbilly romps like Michael Hurley's "Hog of the Forsaken" and the a capella grace of Margaret's Native American "Creek Lullaby." But the collection's musical eclecticism stretches far beyond mere genre concerns, variously encompassing the nascent jazz of Jelly Roll Morton (a rollicking "Stars and Stripes Forever"), Delta blues of Bukka White and Mississippi John Hurt and even Gustavo Santaolalla's hypnotic Brazilian fretwork. But the collection's country and folk-tinged performances are its most resonant, whether invoking earthy traditions (the gospel fervor of the late June Carter Cash's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee's more heretical "God and Man") or more contemporary stylings like Lyle Lovett's "Old Friend" and the gentle "Twisted Little Man" by Michael J. Sheehy.

Hot Rize, one of Colorado’s most influential bands in any genre, will kick off their 40th anniversary year with a celebration at the Boulder Theater, and they’re inviting some special friends along.

"South And West" is the eighth solo effort from Colorado Americana artist and the follow-up to his 2017 John Oates-produced "The Head And Heart". The title of the new project reflects the increasing amount of time Starr spends between his Colorado home (where he owns a guitar shop), and the Nashville music recording and writing scene. The new release features several co-writes with Nashville artists, a number of Starr originals and one Elton John classic. Starr tours extensively in the US and UK and is currently working on another project with John Oates at the helm for 2019 release.

Chris Lane has announced that he'll release his second album, Laps Around the Sun, on July 13. The sophomore album is the follow-up to Girl Problems, which cemented the North Carolina native’s place in country music via the success of Gold-certified singles “Fix” and “For Her.”
