In my excitement for the box, I had not read the full article and this is a kick off for the fiftieth anniversary of Rounder! I hope we get a Krauss box because I don’t have Any of the rounder stuff on vinyl
 
Country music icon Loretta Lynn didn't pull punches when discussing the state of her beloved genre in a new interview.

"I think it's dead," Lynn said during an episode of Martina McBride's "Vocal Point" podcast,released Thursday. "I think it’s a shame. I think it’s a shame to let a type of music die. I don’t care what any kind of music it is. Rock, country, whatever. I think it’s a shame to let it die, and I’m here to start feeding it."

Jesse Daniel’s second full length album “ Rollin’ On ” on Vinyl “Jesse Daniel is badass. This record is so badass, Rollin’ On, that he made. It’s such a pure country album. He’s such a good songwriter, I’m so in his corner…I called it with Sturgill, I called it with Tyler, this dude’

New Jesse Daniel, also available on Bullmoose. Pretty pumped for this. His self-titled is great.

I read the online version quite frequently and would be interested to know what folks think about the print version.

I was a subscriber back in the day before they disappeared then went digital. I don’t subscribe, but I’ve ordered a few of the quarterlies individually. They’re nice quality production - as good or nicer than some design mags I’ve read, well-designed and the content is as good as ever. I really like that they’ve gone to the themed, ad-free quarterly format.
 
Not sure it's been posted, but the Joe Pug podcast "The Working Songwriter" is pretty great. So far listened to the Nicole Atkins, Langhorne Slim and Strand of Oaks reverse interviewing Joe. They're all solid and have all had a great story in their relationships that put them where they are. Give it a shot. A ton of country/alt-country/americana artists interviewed.

New "supergroup" Bonny Light Horseman (Anais Mitchell, Josh Kaufman, Fruit Bats) has a lead single out featuring Aaron Dessner. MC Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger tweeted that it's the best song he's heard in 2019 (which is what caught my attention):

I like it. Sort of amazing that Mitchell is hitching her horse to this wagon after the year she's had. They're doing a bit of touring over the next few months, gonna try to catch them when they come through Indy in September.

Album just released on 1/24 - Found out about it through Kathleen Edwards twitter feed, been listening to it quite a bit, and just ordered the vinyl. Deep in Love is so easy to get lost in.

 
Tami Nielson's new album today is her best yet. To me it's the most cohesive album she's made. John Moreland's new album out last week is amazing.
