Jim Hurst doesn’t just play bluegrass—he inhabits it. On Travels & Time, the Pinecastle Records release finds the two-time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year leaning fully into a role he’s earned over decades: not just a master guitarist, but a curator of feeling, memory, and craft. If earlier reviews of his work often centered
Kelly Daniels’ The Farrier plays like a calling card with calluses on it—compact, deliberate, and intent on proving that experience still counts for something in modern country.

Coming to Can’t Outrun The Blues without deep roots in bluegrass or Americana is, in some ways, the perfect vantage point. The album doesn’t require genre expertise to appreciate—it simply asks that you listen. What unfolds across these ten tracks from Trey Hensley is a record that feels immediate, cinematic, and emotionally grounded, regardless of
Benjamin Chen’s “Lessons from the Mat” isn’t just another business self-help book wrapped in martial arts metaphors. It’s a rare blend of humility, hard-won wisdom, and unvarnished honesty—a book that feels like it was written by someone who’s actually been knocked down a few times and found a way to stand back up, both literally
Monte Schulz’s new book is Undercity is one of those books I would love to dismiss as extremely thoughtful escapism. But at the risk of sounding excessively sanctimonious, I must not tell lies. No matter one’s political persuasion, one need only be an informed citizen to find chilling relevancy in Schulz’s somewhat anthological work focusing
There are albums that sound like they were constructed in studios, and albums that sound like they were lived into existence. Marble Home belongs firmly to the latter.

“Let’s Find Out” is built on a deceptively simple idea: sometimes the most meaningful decision is choosing curiosity over caution. Alyson Faith’s latest single captures that moment with charm, clarity, and a breezy confidence that makes emotional risk feel inviting rather than intimidating. Co-written with Noel Cohen and produced by Oz Noy, the track thrives
There’s a certain kind of country love song that doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel—it just needs to hit right, with the right tempo, the right sincerity, and a chorus that feels like it was written to live in your head for days. Chris Chitsey’s “Where Ya Been Girl” is exactly that kind of track:
“Missing You Underneath the Mistletoe” stands as a case study in how independent artists can carve out lasting space within one of the most competitive musical lanes: holiday radio.

“In the Mexican Sun” arrives at a pivotal moment in Red Camel Collective’s rapidly ascending career, serving not only as their first new release following their 2025 IBMA New Artist of the Year win, but also as the lead single for a highly anticipated sophomore album.

What makes Easy Come, Easy Go so impressive isn’t simply that it’s a beautifully performed bluegrass album—though it certainly is that.

Their blend of vocal chemistry, narrative smarts,
Alex Lopez & ALX’s Retro Revival, set for release February 6, 2026, arrives poised to extend the guitarist-songwriter’s strong chart history and reinforce his position as one of contemporary blues-rock’s most reliable and evolving voices.
