Today, platinum-selling singer, songwriter, musician, and producer David Shaw has released his debut self-titled solo album via his own imprint Yokoko Records in partnership with C3 Records.

Jackie & The Racket’s single is the latest installment from the reliably great Dutch Records single series.  Jackie and company recently moved to Nashville, and hopefully soon the good folks of Tennessee will get a chance to see their live show, which they are known for. On their latest release Jackie & The Racket combine country, southern rock and added a dash of psychedelia. It’s under the surface, but it’s not your average country bar band….not at all.

Fantasy Records will release Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Layla Revisited (Live At LOCKN'), a one-off live recording of the seminal Derek & The Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, performed in its entirety with special guest Trey Anastasio.

Colorado-based band Tenth Mountain Division is pushing the sound found in the mountains in bold new directions with their high-energy electro-acoustic sound.

Colorado-based outlaw alt-folk group, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, have released their new album, Stolen Goods today via Liars Club. The 10-track album was recorded at Royal Recordings in Colorado Springs, Colo. with producer Bill Douglass, and pays homage to the classic traditional Americana, folk, and bluegrass songs that helped redefine genres; and lay the groundwork for what would become the roots of modern folk.

In the first few seconds of The High Hawks’ debut single, a flurry of pulsing electric piano, kick drum, and Townshend-esque guitar strums give way to a flat out J.J. Cale groove just in time for the first line to be sung: “If we could just find a highway...might even find a way to make it home.” And thus, The High Hawks take flight. That tune, “Heroes & Highways,” is an appropriate first taste of music from the long-time-coming, feel-good Americana cooperative, naturally expressing the range of which the bands’ members can reach.

The Zappa Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, the companion album to the highly acclaimed Alex Winter-directed documentary “Zappa” about the prolific genius composer, free speech activist, cultural ambassador to Czechoslovakia and legendary musician, Frank Zappa, is now available as a 5LP deluxe vinyl box set via Zappa Records/UMe. The collection follows the surprise digital release of the soundtrack released in conjunction with the film on Franksgiving, November 27th, 2020 and the 3CD version released in February.

Like most musicians in 2020, Reed Mathis found himself with time on his hands being that all of his tours and session work had been cancelled for the foreseeable future. Never one to idle, Reed turned attention to his archives, dusting off countless hours of audio from Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, the Tulsa, OK-based band that he helped found and performed with for nearly 15 years. First and foremost, among his discoveries was 'Winterwood'—Mathis' final studio recording with JFJO.
