Thank you, Justin Timberlake. Thank you because now mainstream America know’s who CHRIS STAPLETON is thanks to the duo’s “Tennessee Whiskey” x “Drink You Away” collab last night at the CMA Awards. Stapleton who’s written songs for everyone from George Strait to Adele and everyone in between is a big deal in the country/Americana music scene as you can imagine and earlier this year easily put out one of the best albums in 2015, Traveler, and it’s his first! Stapleton is one of the most gifted songwriters today and his voice is truly one of a kind in the gritty, soulful, calming way. Enjoy!

New Music: Blood Orange – “Sandra’s Smile”
27 OctNew music today from Blood Orange with “Sandra’s Smile.” You can read more about the track over at Pitchfork but the track is an ode to Sandra Bland, the 28-year-old black woman found dead in a jail cell in Waller County, Texas after being detained for a minor traffic violation in July.
I’m all in on Big Grams
20 OctAfter seeing Big Grams’ debut public performance at Treasure Island Music Festival last weekend, not only am I convinced it was the best set of the weekend but man this show is only going to get better! Get ready to see them on nearly every festival lineup in 2016 and for good reason. While Big Boi and Phantogram have chopped it up for years, getting on stage to perform their self titled debut album you would think may take some work but man it was tight and on point even down to the production. Bringing out Run The Jewels for “Born To Shine” was a nice touch, “Put It On Her” sounds like classic OutKast and the “Ms. Jackson”/”Mouthful of Diamonds” mashup was perfect and the crowd was eating up the whole set. As for me, I’ve been listening to the album on repeat for the last two days and falling in love with it more and more every spin.
