4Marty Stuart
Country Music Hall of Famer and AMA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Marty Stuart announced his new album, Altitude, will be released on May 19, Country Star is out now.
“I’ve always loved songs that feel like old friends but still sound new and fresh,” says Stuart about Altitude. “The beautiful thing about country music is that the blueprint Jimmie Rodgers laid down—rambling, gambling, sin, redemption, Heaven, Hell—it’s all just as relevant now as it ever was. It’s the human condition, and if you’re honest about it and you’ve got a real band around you, you can make something that’s uniquely yours and stands the test of time.”

8Breland – Alana Springsteen
ART DESIGN — NADA TAHA, GOODCOPBADCOP
BRELAND released his For What it’s Worth but now gets a fresh perspective and a brand-new verse co-written by Springsteen alongside GRAMMY Award-winner Liz Rose that captures the other side of the what-could-have-been anthem.
Featuring gorgeous new harmonies that invoke a once-easy connection, plus an updated Pop-Country sound with tender guitars and subdued drums, the track perfectly expresses the numb feeling when a relationship ends – and the realization it was all your fault. With heavy hearts, the two emerging stars share a moment over what they once had, but ultimately find out you can’t turn back time.
