Sound Verify: Amy Rigby's Listening Picks | August 2023

I am digging Laura Cantrell’s new album, Simply Like a Rose: The Anniversary Periods. Laura’s been retaining the nation music flame alive for years together with her radio reveals and beautiful voice that feels prefer it’s sweetly confiding in you. She’s a terrific supporter of different artists and songwriters however her personal songs effortlessly hit the mark. I particularly love the rocking title observe; the melody and musical particulars flip this story of a feminine honky-tonk lifer right into a refined anthem.

I can not cease listening to Cory Hanson’s new album, Western Cum (nepotism alert: My daughter is out enjoying bass in his band this summer time!). The twining guitar leads take issues into Tv and even welcome Skynyrd and Skinny Lizzy territory. The drums are particularly epic, however his voice is super-sweet and mellow and the lyrics are hallucinatory. I am going to take heed to this on repeat all summer time. Oh hell, since I am boosting, I’d as properly inform the world that my husband Wreckless Eric’s new album, Leisureland, is good. He has been one in every of my musical heroes for years, and his manufacturing, musicality, and approach with phrases and pictures simply will get higher and higher. Age has tempered him like metal. The album comes out August 25.
