Drugs Never Seemed like a problem to Elvie Shane. Dabbling in cocaine, meth, and heroin were all part of the future country singer’s college days in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Even when he got hooked on speed, the dangers didn’t seem real. He could take it or leave it, he figured, a good time for whenever he had the money.
“We just thought we were having fun and catching a buzz,” says Shane, who was clean for nearly a decade before scoring a country Number One with “My Boy...

The case for Shooter Jennings as one of the premier producers in music grows more compelling by the day, and you’d get no argument from Tanya Tucker.
“He always listens to my heart,” Tucker tells Rolling Stone, offering a simple reason for Jennings’ rise behind the console.
For Jennings, such a sentiment has been more than enough validation for his 2022 decision to step away from his own touring and songwriting career to focus full-time on his studio work.

Black Deer Festival has revealed its final wave of acts for 2023, including Richard Hawley, Damian Lewis, Patty Griffin, Brandy Clark and Grace Petrie.
The new additions join a star-studded list of performers that includes Bear’s Den, Bonnie Raitt, and The Pretenders.
The fourth edition of the Americana festival is set to collide with the release of Lewis’ first album, Mission Creep. The actor-turned-musician has appeared in dramas such as Homeland and Billions, and only recently released his debut single “Down on the Bowery”.
“I’m really looking forward to Black Deer Festival and so excited to play live for y’all in the deer park on the day my new album is officially released,” Lewis said.
Grammy-nominated Clark is also set to release her hotly anticipated self-titled album in the month before her Black Deer performance.
Other new names to the bill include Elephant Sessions, Jaime Wyatt, The Wandering Hearts and Ian Prowse.

Dropkick Murphys have announced a second album of songs featuring lyrics by folk legend Woody Guthrie. The new LP, titled Okemah Rising, arrives May 12th and is preceded by the single “I Know How It Feels.”
Okemah Rising follows 2022’s This Machine Still Kills Fascists, which also is comprised of acoustic songs written around Guthrie’s previously-unpublished lyrics. Among the guests on the upcoming release are Violent Femmes, Jesse Ahern, and Jaime Wyatt.
“Every night, when the audience is singing along with Woody’s words, his steadfast defense of the working class, and his fight against social injustice and the abuse of political power comes across loud and clear,” said Dropkick Murphys singer Ken Casey in a press release. “So as long as Dropkick Murphys are involved, Woody’s message will always be heard.”

The most common question at the annual AmericanaFest – a SXSW-style multi-venue music festival held in Nashville since 2000 – is “what is Americana?” “Diverse” seems to be the answer, after decades of favouritism shown towards white, male country singers.
At the event’s opening awards ceremony, which takes place at The Ryman, aka country music’s “mother church”, the sensational Canadian songwriter Allison Russell picks up a well-deserved Album of the Year for her illuminating solo debut Outside Child. Other gongs go to bluesy husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty, flamboyant gypsy jazz renegade Sierra Ferrell, and the Grammys-conquering LGBT+ icon Brandi Carlile. There’s still room for the old guard, too. Robert Plant, Chris Isaak and Lyle Lovett all make appearances, as does the great Lucinda Williams, while tribute is paid to late honky tonk singer-songwriter Luke Bell, who died last month aged 32.
Aside from the established names, AmericanaFest is also a hotbed of young talent.

Stagecoach, the three-day country music festival in Indio, California, has announced its 2023 lineup. As in years past, it’s typically eclectic, with not-quite-country artists like Bryan Adams, Melissa Etheridge, and Zz Top joining headliners Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, and Chris Stapleton.
Sunday’s lineup, headlined by Stapleton, should be particularly appealing for fans of the Red Dirt and songwriter scenes: Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, Parker McCollum, Ryan Bingham, country-roots buzz band 49 Winchester, and even Yellowstone star Luke Grimes stack the bill. Lainey Wilson, Valerie June, Kaitlin Butts, Madeline Edwards play Sunday too,...

After his last album Concrete & Mud was released in 2018, Sam Morrow found that he was often getting tagged with the “outlaw country” label. That album’s brawny mix of country-funk and retro boogie nodded to the influence of Waylon Jennings and Jerry Reed, undoubtedly, but the Houston native wasn’t entirely comfortable with the categorization.
“Even when I say it out loud, it makes me cringe a little bit,” he says, calling from his current home in Los Angeles. “’Outlaw’ sounds weird. I’m not an outlaw. I play video...
