Trojan Jamaica/BMG is proud to announce the release of U-Roy’s final full-length album, SOLID GOLD U-ROY. The album was originally set to come out in 2020 with plans for a worldwide tour in support, but unfortunately, the pandemic delayed the release. Now, with the heartbreaking loss of U-Roy on February 17, the album has become a celebration of one of the most profoundly influential reggae stars of his generation.

Ravensdale Farm keeps delivering the vibes with each show. Yesterday this magnificent piece of land just west of Fort Collins, Colorado hosted Jennifer Hartswick and Brendan Bayliss. Both of these very talented musicians have rich and diverse backgrounds. They are well established in the music industry and have resumes that span many genres of music both onstage and in the recording studio.

The Georgia Thunderbolts are riding high. Having just been featured by Rolling Stone, who compared their “lean, muscular songs” to artists like Blackberry Smoke, The Steel Woods and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band has “a full tank of gas and is heading down the road” in the new video for “Take It Slow,” out today.

Though Andy Leftwich is best known for his years-long stint as the fiddle player in Ricky Skaggs’ award-winning Kentucky Thunder, insiders have known him as a ferociously talented mandolin player, too — and with the release of his second single for Mountain Home, the word is sure to spread among bluegrass and acoustic music fans of every stripe.

Kate Vargas shares “Rumpumpo,” the first song to be released from her forthcoming album Rumpumpo, due out on Friday, July 16 via Bandaloop Records.  The world got their first listen to the new song earlier this week on Apple Music’s Record Bin Radio.

The New Mexico native, and now New York-based artist wrote “Rumpumpo” during lockdown at Kid Rock’s old house in Malibu, and on Jackson Browne’s guitar.

Happy Again isn’t exactly happy. But the delightfully deadpan new album from roots mainstays Bill and the Belles is full of life, humor, and tongue-in-cheek explorations of love and loss. Out May 21, 2021 on Ditty Boom Records (distribution and promotion by Free Dirt Service Co.), Happy Again marks a new chapter for the group by featuring eleven all-original songs penned by founding member Kris Truelsen. There’s no dancing around it: this album is about his divorce.

After nearly seven years, GRAMMY and Academy Award-nominated rock band Counting Crows released their highly anticipated new project, BUTTER MIRACLE, SUITE ONE via BMG. Produced by Brian Deck, the four-track, nineteen-minute suite is available now worldwide. Listen to BUTTER MIRACLE, SUITE ONE is available HERE as individual tracks and HERE as a complete suite.

Memphis-based bluegrass collective Graber Gryass have officially released their second LP, Spaceman's Wonderbox. The LP follows 2020's Late Bloom, and was recorded during the same sessions.

With Spaceman’s Wonderbox, Graber Gryass stretches out, pushing genre limits even further than the traditionally-based Late Bloom.

One of the most successful reggae groups of the 21st century, Rebelution, have released a new single from their forthcoming seventh studio album, In The Moment, out June 18 as a joint venture between the band’s 87 Music label and NYC-based Easy Star Records.
