“A Letter From A Friend” feels like an intimate conversation, woven with a warmth that only comes from experience. Across the album, Beck shares his personal reflections, offering a glimpse into nearly a decade of his life. The album isn’t overly dramatic; instead, it’s grounded in the quiet moments of everyday existence. The acoustic-driven sound, organic and unpretentious, creates an atmosphere where each song feels like a slow, deliberate exchange of thoughts—familiar, yet meaningful.
The Mortal Prophets’ latest EP The American Junkie Show arrives with a sharp, timely focus on the turbulence of contemporary American life. Led by frontman John Beckmann, the EP centers around its standout feature—a seven-minute opus, also titled The American Junkie Show. This ambitious composition seamlessly intertwines two tracks, “American Junkie” and “An American Scene,” delivering an unflinching critique of the country’s socio-political climate, perfectly timed amidst a charged election season.
Rusty Reid’s Head to Heart feels like a personal manifesto, wrapped in folk-country charm, and delivered with the reflective wisdom of a troubadour who’s been around long enough to offer genuine insight. With its remix released in 2024, this album presents a more polished sound, inviting listeners to engage with its philosophical depth while enjoying the enhanced clarity and smoothness of its production. The title track, “Head to Heart,” embodies the heart of this project—both musically and thematically.
Linda Sussman’s “Remember Dorothy” feels like a quiet anthem for today’s complex landscape. It’s not loud, but it doesn’t need to be. The song, rooted in simple acoustic slide guitar and Sussman’s unvarnished vocals, speaks to the necessity of courage in the face of societal pressures. There’s a directness in her delivery that brings to mind the classic folk-blues era, where the music’s power lay in its message, not its embellishments.

The first time I heard Bronwyn Keith-Hynes play the fiddle was at a concert with Molly Tuttle and The Golden Highway, when the band was making their debut to the bluegrass scene, and I was just beginning to explore the world of bluegrass. As a young violin student, I’d heard a lot of people play the fiddle, but never the way Bronwyn did. Her spirit-filled improvisation and captivating performance made it seem almost like her fiddle and body had melded into one. She immediately became my fiddle-idol, and the reason I fell in love with bluegrass.
