“Summer Girl (Redux)” by The High Plains Drifters is a glass of cool water dashed with salt—a song that dances on the tips of our hearts like a flame flickering in the summer breeze, only to leave us chilled when the night falls quiet. Ah, but isn’t that the way of summer love? Hot, bright,
You don’t have to understand a single word of the lyrics to recognize that singer Mark Conklin has a lot in his heart to sing about in his new album The Gospel According to Mark. Music is an all-powerful entity that doesn’t acknowledge the earthly borders we place between one country and the next, and
In his new single “Every Small Town,” star country singer Chris Chitsey turns his focus to the homespun element of his sound and entirely abandons the notion of commerciality in his artistry at the door.

Alex Wellkers’ Fly Away crosses any arbitrary boundaries you can imagine. The Swiss singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and guitarist extraordinaire demonstrate the full scope of his skills. I began listening to the album’s eleven tracks wholly unaware of his history or prior releases.

As emotion-conjuring as it gets in the indie country genre in 2024, the harmony in Chris Chitsey’s “Life is Hard, Whiskey is Easy” is undisputedly powerful enough to move mountains this January.

Alex Haughey’s new film is Under the Influencer, now available on streaming (Apple TV, Amazon). At first glance, the zany satirical comedy feels like something akin to a Harmony Korine picture, complete with dazzling color, meticulous framing (shout out to cinematographer Matthew Lynn, QC’s It Lives Inside), and strange and offbeat characterization. Quickly though, we’re

Balladic but not hesitant, the beat is a big source of emotional framing in the new single “Last Time I Saw You” by Chris Chitsey, and it’s not pushed forward by the percussion in this track alone. Chitsey himself is controlling much of the tempo with his execution here, and although I would call this

If I had to summarize John Catsimatidis’s new book, How Far Do You Want to Go?: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire, it would be two words Catsimatidis uses in a key passage. Simply put, and paraphrasing slightly, Step in. Stepping in is what sticks in my memory, not the actual education-based strategy and methodology Catsimatidis
American Storyteller is Tommy Howell’s debut album and a bit of a revelation. It’s the first sustained musical work from the actor known as C.
