It’s set break for the Futurebirds during the first of the band’s two sold-out hometown gigs at the Georgia Theatre in the college town of Athens, Georgia, and guitarist Daniel Womack is backstage ruminating on the camaraderie that defines the band.
“To find a crew that you can trust and stick with you to go through the wringer with,” Womack tells Rolling Stone, “it’s almost impossible in this life.”
Together for 15 years, Futurebirds are finally becoming a household name, at least to loyal fans of psychedelic rock and alt-country.

Nicole Atkins slips into a hazy dream on “Mind Eraser,” the latest single from her upcoming LP Italian Ice, out May 29th.
“If at first thought says my mind erased/I never want, I never wanna leave again,” Atkins sings over dizzy, whirring string instrumentation. “When you spend time in a lion’s cage/You never go, you never go to sleep again.” She readies herself for the chorus: “These dreams, I know too well/Am I sleeping? It’s hard to tell.”

Nicole Atkins takes chances with the sleek new song, “Domino.” The track is the second single off the singer-songwriter’s upcoming album Italian Ice, out April 17th on Single Lock Records.
Inspired by Prince, the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” and the gritty glamour of Atkins’ hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey, the disco-tinged track relies on a heavy groove to deliver the message: “I’m not gonna play/safe and sound/when the world comes tumbling down.”

Over the last couple years, Ray Lamontagne has been staging Just Passing Through tour, an acoustic run where the songwriter has been performing stripped-down sets that have gotten rave reviews: “His face was barely visible, shadowed under his newsie cap and a bright white light that shone down to a dark stage,” one read. “From the moment Lamontagne began to sing until his very last note, the audience was held captive by his voice.”
Today, the songwriter announced 30 more dates, beginning October 11th at Providence’ Rhode Island’s Providence Performance Arts Center.

As twin sisters, Chandra and Leigh Watson have shared nearly everything, from their hair color to the stages where they’ve sung in close harmony. But despite performing as a duo for more than 20 years, the Watson Twins had never written songs together. “I know that sounds completely insane,” Leigh tells Rolling Stone, “but I think that for both of us growing up as twins, you have to share everything, so our songwriting was always really personal to us.”

Halloween is on the horizon, but Nashville space-country duo Steelism are getting into the spirit a little early with the release of the surprise new Superhero Themes Ep. The centerpiece of the three-song effort is a hard-charging, riff-heavy take on “Batman Theme,” the title song of the sixties TV show, Batman, originally composed by Neal Hefti.
In line with Steelism’s typical psych-twang experimentation, guitarist Jeremy Fetzer and pedal steel player Spencer Cullum Jr. dress up the original tune’s surf-rock groove with squalls of swirling fret acrobatics, while drummer...

Nashville space-country duo Steelism took a trip to the desert of northern New Mexico to film the new video for “Re-Member,” an instrumental track from the group’s latest album Ism. The vast open terrain provides the perfect setting to visually capture the song’s exploratory, psych-twang soundscapes, as guitarist Jeremy Fetzer and pedal steel wiz Spencer Cullum Jr. weave together emotive passages with dramatic sections of tension and release.
“We knew ‘Re-Member’ needed a video where the visual landscape matched the sonic landscape, so we reached out to director David McClister,...

It’s been a dozen years since the Watson Twins made their mainstream debut as Jenny Lewis’s pitch-perfect backup singers, filling her solo debut, Rabbit Fur Coat, with gospel harmonies and alt-country charm. This month, they’ll reclaim the spotlight for themselves with Duo, the pair’s sixth album. Unlike the releases before it, Duo focuses equally on the siblings’ vocal chops and songwriting skills, with each song featuring the Watson Twins’ byline. They sing every melody together too, creating a thick, harmonically-dense sound that nods to vocal groups of the Sixties.

Will Hoge’s eviscerating “Gilded Walls,” Colter Wall’s folksy “Plain to See a Plainsman” and Rachel Wammack’s marvelous “Damage” are among the 10 country and Americana tracks you must hear right now.
Jenny Tolman, “Rock & Roll to My Country Soul”
A country-blooded crooner who grew up within Nashville’s city limits, Tolman pines for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks — musically speaking, that is — on this honky-tonk shuffle. It’s a classic opposites-attract situation, with the singer reaching across the aisle to seize her rock-loving beau’s hand.
