Steve Earle has been creating intimate and personal music for well over four decades now. His songwriting has wound itself along a path from Texas to Tennessee and his education came in the form of learning from the best. 2009�s Grammy-nominated record, TOWNES, was a tribute to his dear friend and mentor, Townes Van Zandt. Ten years later Earle released, GUY. An album concentrated on paying homage to the late Guy Clark and the indelible friendship that they had formed in stories told through song. 2022 welcomes the release of JERRY JEFF. A 10-song collection of songs written by the gypsy songman, Jerry Jeff Walker. Featuring hits like, �Mr. Bojangles� and �Gettin� By�, Earle & The Dukes honor the late Texan by amplifying the concept and sound of each song with a full-band recording.�

From the first bass note within the driving drum beat you can tell something is different about the new record from Nikki Lane. The backbeat feels like a gutsy strut while the lead guitar feels like a revved up engine shifting gears. Denim & Diamonds comes out firing, spit shining the cowboy boots and tossing on a jean jacket.

Produced by Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Denim & Diamonds has the Highway Queen embracing a more rock-oriented sound while still maintaining the heartfelt outlaw country sound she has developed across her previous three releases. Denim & Diamonds still has the fuck-off flare of which Nikki has come to be known. Her stylized, story-telling lyrics are all there as well as her catchy country hooks. The outlaw country sound is now balanced out with a gritty guitar and a machine gun snare that echoes the sound of 70�s rock.

Nikki Lane has made a record that sounds new and old. Familiar and surprising. She embraces where she has come from, (�First High�, �Born Tough�) the lessons learned along the way, (�Good Enough�, �Try Harder�) all while doing things her way, (�Denim & Diamonds�, �Black Widow�).

Live archive release. A first-ever official release of Donald Byrd's Live: Cookin' with Blue Note at Montreux on what would have been the legendary trumpeter's 90th birthday.

From their earliest self-released EPs to 2021�s Cast-Iron Pansexual�the album that earned praise from Rolling Stone and American Songwriter for its examination of faith, sexual identity, and self-acceptance�Adeem the Artist has continued to build a following by blending Appalachian musical influences and poetic flair with a healthy dose of comedic instinct.�

"Humor has always been a part of my life," explains the Eastern Tennessee-based songwriter, citing comedians Andy Kaufman and Sarah Silverman as artistic influences in addition to musicians like John Prine and Blind Boy Fuller. Growing up, first in North Carolina and later in Syracuse, New York, Adeem quickly realized that with the right delivery, dark jokes could offer a socially acceptable way to open up about the tough stuff. "My parents are both from a lot of generational trauma, and I was born right at the heart of it,� they say. �Humor is just how we survived."�

Adeem�s twang-studded gospel represents a worldview too often excluded from modern country music, one that converts shame into celebration. It turns out, folks like the sound of embracing the parts of ourselves we�re told to bury�so much so that when Adeem turned to fans to support the follow-up album to Cast-Iron Pansexual, thousands obliged. Dubbing it a �redneck fundraiser,� the seventh-generation Carolinian raised the money to release White Trash Revelry by asking for one dollar at a time through social media. �With four quarters and a Venmo,� they joked, �baby, you can make this dream come true.� Adeem emerged from the fundraiser $15,000 later with a name for their new record label�Four Quarters Records�and the resolve to write an unapologetic next chapter.

White Trash Revelry delivers, tempering Adeem�s beloved comedic sensibilities with vulnerable moments and highly specific personal details. Tender strings and clear vocals on "Middle of a Heart" give way to nuanced storytelling about small-town rites of passage and mixed messages about love, violence, and honor. And "Heritage of Arrogance" tackles larger societal issues, struggling to reconcile open-minded intentions with the deeply flawed and historical narratives too often peddled by white Southerners. But the album�s namesake revelry is around every corner, too.�

"They play country songs in heaven, but in hell we play �em loud," they sing on the standout single �Going to Hell.� Regardless of your thoughts on the afterlife, Adeem sings with an easy-going charisma that makes it easy to want to follow them�to heaven, to hell, or to some raucous, welcoming party in between.�

Just in time for the holidays, Ponthier Pictures presents Allison's first-ever vinyl release, a double-sided pressing of�Allison's debut EPs Shaking Hands with Elvis and Faking My Own Death pressed on cobalt blue vinyl.

We believe birds matter, are endangered and need our help.�

After the success of her critically-acclaimed 2021 release Daddy� s Country Gold, Melissa Carper, dubbed �HillBillie Holiday� by friend and collaborator Chris Scruggs, was eager to get back in the studio. With co-producers Andrija Tokic (St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Hurray For The Riff Raff) and Dennis Crouch (The Time Jumpers) behind the boards again at Tokic�s analog paradise The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, Carper assembled that same crew of magical music makers - plus a few more - to embark on her newest effort, Ramblin� Soul, set for release November 18th via Thirty Tigers.

Carper�s deep, old-timey music roots were firmly planted as a child, playing upright bass and singing in her family�s traveling country band in rural Nebraska. Her love of country classics was cultivated as she laid beneath the console listening to her parents� record collection. Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, and more became the soundtrack of her youth. When Carper�s father gifted her a collection of Jimmie Rodgers� recordings, she began to find her voice and calling as a songwriter.

Carper attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on a music scholarship, and spent much of her time in the music library, instinctively drawn to the great jazz classics and jazz vocalists such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole. She also discovered Lead Belly, uncovering a deep well within when singing his songs. Carper stands firmly on the shoulders of American ramblers, crooners, and songsters - the building blocks of her musical foundation. In 2020, grappling with the loss of regular gigs, Carper and Patek moved to a friend�s farm near Austin, working in exchange for housing, organic vegetables, and fresh, country air. The simpler life afforded Carper the space and rejuvenation needed to channel her muse, and begin writing for her next album.

�I had a handful of songs about rambling around and living a free life that I wanted to weave through the album,� Carper recalls. �I wrote the title track driving back home to Texas, and it felt like the seeds of the next album were planted. I also knew I wanted Ramblin� Soul to have a different feel than Daddy�s Country Gold, with more upbeat and diverse styles and grooves.� Ramblin� Soul features a co-write with life long ramblin� buddy and bandmate Gina Gallina, a song penned by friend and frequent collaborator Brennen Leigh; a reimagined classic from folk pioneer Odetta; and ten Carper originals. The album ventures into blues, early rock and roll, and old school soul, along with Carper�s signature styles of country, western swing, and jazz. Carper�s lifelong, steadfast listening has come to fruition in the songs on Ramblin� Soul. Her childhood love of the family record collection planted the seeds of what is her own bountiful orchard today.
