To live in Nashville is to love John Prine, so it never sat right how quarantine robbed the late singer, songwriter, and hometown hero of a proper in-person memorial when he died of Covid complications in April of 2020. Prine finally got the wake he deserved this week in Nashville with a string of celebratory concerts titled “You Got Gold,” which featured an all-star, cross-generational casts of admirers covering songs and exchanging anecdotes about the man.
On Sunday, performers and presenters remembered Prine’s generous spirit and the way he modeled...

Just a year after his full-length debut was re-released by John Prine’s Oh Boy Records, singer-songwriter Tré Burt will be releasing his second full-length album this August. You, Yeah, You was recorded in Durham, North Carolina with producer Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee, War on Drugs) and features contributions from Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Heath, Phil Cook, and Kelsey Waldon.
The album’s lead single is “Sweet Misery,” a gentle acoustic ballad that Burt wrote by first coming up with the song’s plaintive chord progression.

On the collaborative 2019 project Songs of Our Native Daughters, Amythyst Kiah wrote and sang “Black Myself,” leading her bandmates Allison Russell, Rhiannon Giddens, and Leyla McCalla in a potent anthem about ingrained racism and resilience. The group was creating on the fly, re-centering black stories in roots music. “Black Myself” earned Kiah a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song, but it turned out she wasn’t quite done with it.
“The longer you play a song, the more you get settled into it,” Kiah says. “Sometimes you have other ideas,...

Amythyst Kiah has released a stylish video for her new single “Black Myself,” which is also the East Tennessee singer-songwriter’s debut solo recording for Rounder Records.
Directed by Kwaku Otchere and featuring choreography by Aysha Upchurch, the black-and-white clip makes a powerful statement about being black in America through a combination of personal storytelling and expressive dance.
Kiah appears in several scenes, but the clip also features a loose narrative about identity and shame, following a dancer’s inner battle and mirroring the song’s lyrics about the country’s long history of oppression.

Our Native Daughters on Their Smithsonian Channel Special and the Making of a Black Roots Supergroup
To be young, gifted and banjo-playing … and, yes, Black: these were the requirements for inclusion in the group Our Native Daughters, which was assembled by Rhiannon Giddens to make an album for the Smithsonian Folkways label that started as a one-off collective project and turned into a real band. It also turned into a Smithsonian Channel documentary that’s premiering for Black History Month, with the initial airing of “Reclaiming History: Our Native Daughters” Monday night at 9 p.m. Et/Pt.
Giddens and the three other members — Leyla McCalla, Allison Russell and Amythyst Kiah — all have solo albums coming up this year. In fact, as a preview for hers, Kiah just last week released a solo version of the Our Native Daughters track “Black Myself,” which is currently nominated for a Grammy for best American roots song.

“Don’t tell me your position, don’t need no sympathy,” California singer-songwriter Tré Burt sings in his piercing new folk polemic. “Your bleeding heart’s complicit if you ain’t in the street.”
That song is “Under the Devil’s Knee,” a haunting folk-roots number that mourns the lives of George Floyd, Eric Garner, and Breonna Taylor, all of whom were killed by police officers.
“I wanted to reinstate the humanity of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner and so many other brothers and sisters slain by police in the way I know how,...

Rhiannon Giddens has released a new solo recording, the snarling blues number “Don’t Call Me Names.”
Over hypnotic, murky bass, Dobro, and violin tones, Giddens stands her ground against a cruel lover. “You wouldn’t treat a dog that way, don’t call me names,” she sings. Mid-song, it reaches a feverish mix of pounding drums and slashing electric guitar to match Giddens’ intense wails. Giddens, who has often penned narratives other than her own for her songs, takes a look inward for “Don’t Call Me Names.”

Here at Rolling Stone, we listen to a lot of music in any given year. When we asked staff members to share their favorite albums of 2019, we found some strong consensus picks — Lana Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Taylor Swift’s Lover, Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You, and Miranda Lambert’s Wildcard all appeared across multiple lists — along with dozens more choices that reflect individual writers’ and editors’ vastly different tastes. (One colleague responded with a list of favorite songs instead of albums, suggesting a further divide in how we listen to music.

Singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah turns in a riveting performance of the haunting new song “Wild Turkey” in a live video. Filmed at the Egg Center for Performing Arts in Albany, New York, the clip is part of a new monthly series called Rainey Day Recordings aimed at highlighting artists from marginalized communities.
Accompanying herself with some urgent, fingerstyle guitar work, Kiah delivers a story about numbing pain in the wake of a devastating loss. “When I was 17 I pretended not to care/Stayed numb for years to escape despair,” she laments,...

Flying Lotus, Flamagra
One might think of Flamagra as Ellison’s Apocalypse Now, or The Wall — it shows an artist at the height of their power, able to realize their most over-the-top imaginings, delivering a sprawling near-masterpiece teetering at the brink of overkill. The cast is full on: jazz fusion icon Herbie Hancocke ancock and P-Funk mastermind George Clinton represent for the old school; Solange, Tierra Whack, Anderson Paak, and Shabazz Palaces’ Ishmael Butler provide varying shades of the new.

As far as musical excavators go, few are as unflinching as Rhiannon Giddens. Through her work with the Carolina Chocolate Drops and a growing body of solo material, the 42-year-old multi-instrumentalist has mined the darkest recesses of the American subconscious to give voice to the used, abused and oppressed. But on There Is No Other, she mines her own musical history with the help of Italian jazz musician Francisco Turrisi.
“This record is a little bit more all of me, in some ways,” says Giddens, speaking via Skype from her home in Limerick,...

Over the past two years, Rhiannon Giddens has emerged as one of American music’s most vitally prolific artists, collaborating across mediums as she’s written music for the theatre (the ballet Lucy Negro Redux), appeared as a regular on a television drama (Cmt’s Nashville), formed folk-roots supergroups (Songs of Our Native Daughters) and hosted a podcast dedicated to her love of opera.
She’s also released two solo albums, the latest of which, There Is No Other, is a collaborative concept LP of sorts with Italian jazz multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi.

As she tends to do, Rhiannon Giddens had an idea. The singer-banjoist and MacArthur Genuis had convened a group of fellow artists — Allison Russell, Leyla McCalla and Amythyst Kiah —in January 2018 to record the collaborative concept album Songs of Our Native Daughters to interpret and revive long-extinct forms of music.
“Maybe,” she pondered out loud to Kiah and Russell one day, “you could reimagine the John Henry story. Why don’t you two write a song about Polly Ann, because nobody knows Polly Ann’s story. What’s her story?...

The hushed intimacy of the duo Ida Mae, a dusty road anthem by the Vegabonds and a new one from the King of Country Music make up our list of the best country songs to hear this week.
Travis Denning, “After a Few”
The singer behind the fake-i.D. anthem “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs” tells tales of what happens after those drinks are consumed in this sultry jam. It’s slickly produced, but it works, thanks to Denning’s husky vocal and the lovelorn quality in his delivery.

Our Native Daughters, the new roots music supergroup featuring Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, Allison Russell, and Leyla McCalla, have released the song “Quasheba, Quasheba” from their upcoming debut album.
“Quasheba, Quasheba,” premiering below, was written by Birds of Chicago singer-songwriter Allison Russell as an attempt to reckon with and shed light on the singer’s ancestral roots in West African slavery. After the singer found out her family line can be traced back to an enslaved person named Quasheba, Russell felt compelled to pay tribute in song.

The new single off Kentucky country vocalist Dillon Carmichael’s just released debut album, a rip-roaring Zz Top cover by Whitey Morgan and Leyla McCalla’s brassy protest song are among the must-hear country and Americana tracks this week.
Fairground Saints, “Somewhere Down the Line”
Set to a kick-drummed pulse, “Somewhere Down the Line” marries the coed Californian harmonies of Fleetwood Mac with the polished punch of modern country-pop. “I’ve got a full tank of gas and some money,” goes the chorus, stacked high with layered vocals, banjo and pedal steel.
