Eliza Gilkyson
Dark Ages  (Realiza Records)

Eliza Gilkyson is a twice Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and activist who is one of the most respected musicians in Folk, Roots and Americana circles. The collection of songs is surprisingly upbeat although the record pulls no punches in terms of the times we find ourselves in. Eliza in her strongest and most compelling voice, as always covering the wide range of the human experience, following the threads of darkness and light, hope and beauty still to be found even in “dark ages.” Even her darkest moments are warmed by a genuine compassion for the lost souls who sometimes populate her stories, and a very real concern for the world we all live in is woven through every tune… Whether she looks into darkness or light, Eliza Gilkyson’s vision is impressive.  (edited from Folking review)

 

Willie Nelson
Oh What A Beautiful World  (Legacy Recordings)

It’s fun to hear Willie Nelson sing such words as “ninja,” “fishmonger” and “absinthe,” which are among the many pleasures found in the songbook of influential country songwriter Rodney Crowell. This is Nelson’s latest album devoted to the songs of a specific songwriter, and in Crowell, he’s interpreting a kindred spirit. While Crowell has a slightly different lyric vocabulary, both are Texans with a deep love of Hank Williams.The pairing – great songs and a great singer – works beautifully. The album just before Nelson’s 92nd birthday on April 29. He has long sounded ageless, but more than ever, Nelson sings like a sage. His reedy tenor can be a little whispery, but he displays surprising vocal range. His relaxed, conversational delivery is filled with warmth and wisdom. He’ll start a phrase late, end it early and make it seem perfect.  (from press release)

 


Shinyribs
Leaving Time  (Nine Mile Records)

This 9th studio album from Austin icon Shinyribs – is a fitting return to the roots. Reunited with the artist’s original record label, Nine Mile Records, Leaving Time sets aside the Soul horns and backup singers that have been a staple of the big Shinyribs band, in favor of a more stripped-down approach to this collection of songs. Fans of Kevin Russell’s first couple Shinyribs albums, and his previous band The Gourds, might hear a bit of a return to that era with these arrangements. (from WNCW review)

Wildwoods
Dear Meadowlark   (independent)

Purity still exists in modern-day music. There’s the purity of real instruments – violin, acoustic guitar, upright bass, percussion, and even cello – coupled with homespun harmonies that seem to float effortlessly into the ether. Then, there’s the purity of songs written from the soul, filling a human void. None of that ever goes out of style. Folk-Americana trio The Wildwoods, hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska, continue to bring sonic beauty and simplicity to today’s increasingly complicated and cluttered musical landscape. At its core, Dear Meadowlark celebrates the emotional allure of familiarity and comfort. “The main lyrical theme of the album is the appreciation for our home state of Nebraska and the homesickness that can come with long periods spent on the road,” says Noah Gose.  (edited from Grateful Web review)

Americana Music Releases for April 4th

Posted on April 3, 2025 by

Here’s some the best Americana and roots-type music releases for April 4th, 2025. Click the artist or album links to find out more. The artist’s names link to their websites and the CD title links go to either Amazon, iTunes, Bandcamp or the artist’s site for ordering or downloading.  A + sign means although not a featured release, it’s a notable album that’s still worth checking out.  Also, this page will be updated as I find out about other new releases so check back again.

 

Suzy Thompson
Suzy Sings Siebel  (independent)

Paul Siebel made two excellent LPs in the early 1970s, but he had debilitating stage fright, hated the life of a touring musician, and his songwriting dried up, so in the 1980s he left the music world and disappeared. “A lifetime later, during the pandemic shutdown, I’d sit in a darkened room and sing and play the guitar, just like when I was a teenager. I found myself returning to Paul Siebel’s songs.” Suzy continues, “By this time, Paul was in his 80s, living in rural Maryland and in very poor health but heard some of my online recordings of his songs. We had four phone conversations before he died a few months later. it meant the world to me to get to know (a little bit) this person whose music I have loved for 50 years and to have him reach out to tell me that he really liked the way I was singing his songs. I was honored to be joined by many musical heroes on this project including Cindy Cashdollar, John Sebastian, Bill Evans, Jody Stecher and others.”  (edited from Bandcamp page)

 

Seth Walker
Why The Worry  (Royal Potato Records)

In the midst of recording his 12th album, wavering in his resolve to finish what he’d started, Seth Walker came to a realization. “This work does not define me. This is not who I am forever. This is just a moment.” No album is trapped in amber, no song is set in stone. Taking a page from Willie Nelson, Walker embraced the songwriter’s sage wisdom, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything… so I decided not to do it.” Truth be told, there aren’t many better oracles to hang an ethos on than brother Willie. The new album finds Walker reunited with old friends and familiar names. Once again Jano Rix steps behind the boards, co-producing the album with Seth and engineer Brook Sutton.  (edited from Bandcamp page)

Americana Music Releases for Mar. 28th

Pug Johnson
El Cabron  (independent)

If Townes van Zandt’s “Pancho and Lefty” got away with it, their lives might have ended up something like Texas singer/songwriter Pug Johnson’s outlaw, El Cabron. The titular character runs on swagger and split-second choices, often thriving in the liminal moments on the run living life hard. Drawing inspiration from Texas best-known deviants, like the characters in Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove and Terry Allen’s Juarez, Johnson’s El Cabron (Spanish slang for “the bastard”) spends most of the album flirting with impropriety driven by a rakish disregard for order. Accompanied by a mix of Cajun, Tejano, Texas swing, and honky-tonk influenced sounds, his character escapes over the boarder into Mexico, dreams of life writ large, falls in and out of love, and kicks up his fair share of trouble. By album’s end, unlike many outlaws, El Cabron has learned a few lessons; he finds himself contemplating the future and armed with a few new adventure notches on his belt, he vows to make himself a better man.   (edited from No Depression review)

 

Alison Krauss & Union Station
Arcadia  (Down The Road Records)

It’s been 14 long years since 2011’s Paper Airplane and it looked as though Alison Krauss and Union Station had drifted off into the musical ether, but no – they’re back – not only with a new album, but a big string of (sold out) US live dates too. Alongside Krauss, Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Barry Bales (bass, vocals) there’s a new guy – Russell Moore on co-lead vocals, guitar and mandolin, plus guest appearances from former alumnus Dan Tyminski, fiddle-god Stuart Duncan and other musical and production luminaries as well. Right from the off, this sounds exactly as you would have hoped – and expected. Sumptuous playing, gorgeous vocals, a stellar warm production and a great collection of songs. Sometimes, when a band reunites, the hype is bigger than the reality, but with talent this massive, there was never a chance that this would be anything but a triumphant return. (edited from Rocking Magpie review)

Kinky Friedman
Poet of Motel 6  (Blue Elan Music)

The storied Echo Hill Ranch, where Kinky Friedman lived for over 40 years, is now the birthplace of his final masterpiece, Poet of Motel 6. This posthumous album showcases the wit, heart, and unflinching humanity that defined Kinky Friedman as one of America’s most iconic storytellers.  Joined by Texas royalty like Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Rick Trevino, Amy Nelson, Rodney Crowell, and produced by fellow Rolling Thunder Revue alumni David Mansfield, this record truly lays bare the heart of this Texas bard.Mansfield experienced it firsthand. “Those songs he wrote about people he cared about that had passed on, they were quite elegiac,” says the producer. “He sang beautifully, and at the end he was in tears. He was very emotionally connected when he was doing these vocals.” Poet of Motel 6 marks the final chapter in Kinky Friedman’s extraordinary musical journey. Fans and newcomers alike will discover an album that is as unforgettable as the man who created it. (edited from press release)

Charley Crockett
Lonesome Drifter  (Lone Star Rider/Island Records)

Crockett and co-producer Shooter Jennings set themselves the target of bottling “the magic of performance on tape.” Over the course of just 10 days, they cut the record’s 12 tracks live at the legendary Sunset Sounds Studio in LA. “I just brought all of my guys out, and the album made itself. It was live without a lot of overdubs.” Charley continues, “there were no inhibitions. I wasn’t being judged, and I didn’t feel self-conscious. Shooter knew how to cut loose and let this thing unfold.” Musically, the album traces a roadmap through Crockett’s own myriad of influences, tipping a hat to everybody from Waylon Jennings, Bill Withers, Bob Dylan, and Woody Guthrie, drawing on his countless experiences since he first left his native Texas. From the singular vocal performances to the raw and rustic instrumentation to the storytelling, Lonesome Drifter could be his most cohesive body of work to date. (edited from Americana UK review)

Jason Isbell
Foxes in the Snow  (Southeastern Records)

Last October in New York City, Jason Isbell booked five days in Electric Lady Studios and recorded his tenth solo studio album in its entirety. Just voice and acoustic guitar (his 1940 Martin 0-17) from beginning to end, and, by the sound of it, no overdubs. There are 11 new songs here – all of them nigh-on flawless – about love, loneliness, sex, toughness, sobriety, New York, Alabama, more love, words of wisdom, dangerous memories and more. When you take away the buttons and bells and strip a song to its essence, your focus is on this one voice and what it’s telling you – stories of himself, or some other character, or both, with some of the best lyrics around.  (edited from Mojo review)

The Devil Makes Three
Spirits (New West Records)

Whether it’s the state of the world or personal travails, a lot of people are going through it right now. Finding your way through these challenges isn’t easy; it takes resilience, clarity and a sense of purpose. These are the themes at the core of Spirits, the new LP by The Devil Makes Three and the trio’s first record since the 2018. Whereas Chains are Broken is very much rooted in a muscular roots rock and alt-country sound, Spirits features more stripped-down arrangements, wherein the brawn comes in the form of lyrical conviction and heartfelt delivery. The sentiment of seeing the rich get richer while everyone else is forced to struggle anchors the jaunty country of “Half as High.” There aren’t really any straightforward answers or resolutions to life’s challenges, although McBean’s ironic “I Love Doing Drugs” does present one possible option. But as the closing selection “Holding On” indicates, Bernhard and The Devil Makes Three really only see one way forward. (edited from No Depression review)

Paul Thorn
Life Is Just A Vapor  (Perpetual Obscurity Records)

It is no coincidence that Paul Thorn, the son of a Pentecostal preacher, wrote the title song of his new release, Life is Just a Vapor, inspired by a passage in scripture: “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” (James 4:14.) “I’ve heard that all my life,” Thorn explained. “Now that I’ve grown a little bit, it rings so true. That’s not to say, be sad; it’s to say, live life to the fullest and enjoy it. I don’t believe it’s the end when I die. Do I know what’s over there? No, but I don’t think it’s the end. I’m going to enjoy this one until the next one kicks in.” While Thorn’s storytelling is near genius, perhaps his most remarkable gift is his ability to find common ground with his listeners, meet us where we live, and yet open our minds to new ways of thinking about everyday things.  (edited from American Blues Scene review)

 

Cristina Vane
Hear My Call  (independent)

Growing up in Italy, France, and England, Vane learned guitar and started writing songs as a teenager before becoming enamored with slide guitar one summer in London. After moving to America for university she found herself working at the famous McCabe’s guitar shop in LA, whereupon she expanded her repertoire into fingerpicking guitar and clawhammer banjo. You can hear all those influences in her newest album, Hear My Call. Life on the road figures heavily on a number of cuts, no doubt impacted by the six straight months she spent traveling across the country on her crowd-sourced first tour.For an album that stretches from sizzling blues to twangy bluegrass, the record is surprisingly cohesive.   (edited from Twangville review)
