Steve Earle
Steve Earle’s latest, Washington Square Serenade, is an ode to the ‘60s-era Greenwich Village, a neighborhood that Earle now calls home. Earle recorded the Folk/Americana Grammy-nominated Serenade at Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios, and while the album contains Earle’s trademark unapologetically political songs, this is a much more personal album, including a duet with wife Allison Moorer. Earle is currently on tour throughout the UK and Europe, and will hit North America in early spring.

Levon Helm
“Levon represents everything in American music that appeals to me,” says studio ace Larry Campbell. “All genres within what is called Americana—rock ’n’ roll, blues, country, bluegrass, old-time music and soul—he can do with authority. Levon starts singing it and you believe it.” Check out Helm’s Grammy-nominated Dirt Farmer; produced by Campbell, this utterly timeless, altogether mesmerizing album is Levon’s first solo studio recording in a quarter century.
