One of our favorite interviews from 2025: Juliette Fay talks about her novel "The Harvey Girls," which was based on a fascinating slice of Americana. Fred Harvey created what is widely regarded as the first hospitality chain in the United States- a network of restaurants and hotels primarily in the West. The women who worked at his establishments were known as Harvey Girls - and these were actually well-paying and respectable jobs at a time when employment options for women were severely limited. In a followup conversation, we speak with Andrew DeBoer, father-in-law of local music teacher Jessica DeBoer, about his extensive collection of Fred Harvey memorabilia.

Episode 356 features Justin Osborne of Susto! He's definitely a full-time rock star, and I honestly don't know where to begin with this one, because they're easily in my top five favorite bands of all time. It was incredibly humbling and exciting to have Justin on the show. I've always described Susto to my friends as a sort of psychedelic Americana, but of course they have a whole host of other influences in their sound. At the core of it all, though, is Justin's songwriting and storytelling, which is often off-the-wall, honest, comedic, clever, and zen all at the same time. I first found Susto through a YouTube series called Susto Stories and was immediately hooked. The originality of the stories and lyrics, the soft, textural environment, and the soothing Southern influences in the music create such a calm, warm, yet engaging sound. One that stands apart from anything else I've ever heard. If you're looking for a place to start, I'd definitely suggest their first album or that video series. In the conversation, we talked about Justin's musical journey, starting out in Charleston, his short venture studying abroad in Cuba, the intricacies of psychedelics, songwriting, the Austin music scene, The String Band, and much more. I primarily wanted to get Justin on the show this week because he's playing solo again at Schmidt House in Catonsville, MD, on February 11 (ticket link in the episode notes), and we're all super excited about it. I also can't say enough good things about Schmidt House shows and how much fun they are in general. I've often referred to Mark Schmidt as the Great Gatsby of Catonsville, and I continue to stand by that. Lastly, I've never had a more difficult time picking a song from a band for an episode—because I could literally feature any of them—but I figured I'd include the song that first introduced me to Susto, “Drug Money,” as well as one of their most recent releases, “Break Free, Rolling Stone.” If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend coming out to this show and having some beers with us! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/susto-schmidt-house-tickets-1980430363529   Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you'd like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.

The thumping, pumping, Telecaster-driven, snare-smashing roots rock and roll of the 80's (and into the 90's) shaped my world.  Drove my inspiration for finding more of "that". Looking back, some of "that" lasted. And some of the bands and their songs went into the vault of lost rockers, and some even made it out to rock some more.   This podcast jumps back about 10 years to when I was digging into the roots of my rock and roll, which would later be labeled alt-country and Americana. But to me, it was jangly, garage-y, sloppy-but-not-too-sloppy rock and freakin' roll. Who were those bands?  See what you might remember. Or hear a new-old discovery.  That's the thrill.  Let's listen together and see how we do.  Rock on.

Buffalo-based folk duo Sally Schaefer (fiddle, vocals) and Tyler Bagwell (guitar, vocals) breathe fire into folk songs old and new, including a treasure trove of Americana, Celtic, and Erie Canal music. Sally is a well-known ethnomusicologist and musician around the Western New York area, appearing with numerous bands and recording for various projects representing an array of musical genres. Tyler is an award-winning historian and patchwork songwriter with a busker's voice in search of couplets within the notion that "history rhymes." Together, they invent and reinvent songs highlighting events, people, and places of local and national note. For larger shows, they often play with the addition of bass and drums as folk-rock band The Travesties. Tyler and Sally visited the Flamingo Lounge on January 14, 2026 for an engaging session telling stories and discussing their newest projects and sharing live renditions of some of their new music.

Our guest this week on The Working Songwriter hails from The Woodlands, Texas. Hayes Carll is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller whose sharp wit and plainspoken poetry first broke through with his 2002 debut, 'Flowers & Liquor.' That was followed by 2008's 'Trouble in Mind,' which delivered the hit "She Left Me for Jesus" and cemented his place among the genre's most distinctive voices. Carll has toured with artists like Old Crow Medicine Show, Todd Snider, and Alison Krauss and his songs have been covered by Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, and Kenny Chesney. He's recorded for Lost Highway, Dualtone, and Thirty Tigers and he's performed on stages from Newport Folk Festival to Austin City Limits and the Grand Ole Opry. 'Rolling Stone' praises his work for its "razor-sharp wit and lived-in warmth," while NPR notes his "keen eye for the human condition wrapped in disarming charm." 'American Songwriter' calls him "one of Americana's most reliable truth-tellers." Our show's most frequent guest pops by to discuss his latest album "We're Only Human" and finding a creative voice that's more true to himself.   Interested in sponsoring us?

On this episode of Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their Pixar 2000s miniseries by finally pulling into Radiator Springs to talk Cars with critic and scholar Myles McNutt.Often dismissed as “the lesser Pixar,” Cars is also one of the studio's most commercially dominant films and one of its strangest cultural phenomena. The trio digs into why this movie connected so deeply with kids, how Disney merchandising helped shape its legacy, and why Cars feels philosophically out of step with Pixar's more emotionally precise storytelling. They also explore the film's obsession with nostalgia, small-town Americana, Route 66 iconography, and the uneasy politics lurking under its warm glow.Along the way, they discuss Pixar's evolving reputation, the film's place in the studio's broader lineage, Cars Land as a theme-park response to Harry Potter, and why even if it's flawed Cars might still be essential viewing to understand Pixar's 2000s run.Ka-chow!Follow us:Guest: Myles McNutt @Memles on instagram and X and SubtackPatreon: http://patreon.com/PodcastlikeitsTwitter: http://twitter.com/podcastlikeitsInstagram: http://instagram.com/podcastlikeits Hosted on Acast.

Here are a couple of ladies who span generations and genres. They can rock, swing, and croon like nobody's business, and are renown for their independence. Wanda Jackson is a founding mother of Rockabilly and still partying at 88; She started recording in 1954, and just recently retired. Although she forged the magical fusion elixir that we call Rockabilly, she has also scored hits in the Gospel and Country genres. Sarah Jarosz, 50+ years younger, studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, but remains pure Texas, like Nanci Griffith or Lyle Lovett - indie Americana artists who fuse country with jazz in an irresistible freshness. She has stated that she relishes expansion, collaboration, and experimentation, with a goal toward “honoring the song” and bringing it to life in the most exciting way possible. Both women are accomplished songwriters as well as vocal interpreters, but today we feature them in the latter position - Wanda, from 1962, keens the vertiginous “Whirlpool”, by Fred Burch and Marijohn Wilken, and Sarah crushes Tom Wait's “Come on Up to the House” with a  funky mandolin.SARAH JAROSZI first heard Sarah Jarosz about 10 years ago on Garrison Keillor's radio show, and was smitten immediately. Her tender, and at the same time fluid voice and funky mandolin charms completely - reminding me of the great John Hartford and how he transformed bluegrass to Newgrass.  She continued after Garrison left with successor Chris Thile, teaming up with Sarah Watkins, another star from that ensemble, and Aoife O'Donovan to form the trio I'm With Her. At 34, no longer a prodigy, she has become a contemporary bluegrass goddess, who keeps expanding her range. Here she essays Tom Wait's Come on up to the House, in which she manages to combine spirituality with sex appeal - brilliant. WANDA JACKSONWhirlpool is like a psychedelic Torch Song. Uncharacteristically, Wanda takes the role of a vulnerable, love damaged damsel instead of the Take No Prisoners, kick-ass Rocker she usually projects. Released on Capitol Records and produced by their A&R exec, Ken Nelson, this cut obviously is swinging for the bleachers of commercial Country appeal, but its weirdness kept it from charting. However, it remains a monument to her range and dramatic power. 

Rodney Crowell, often called a “songwriter's songwriter” and a foundational voice in Americana, joins Rhett for a conversation about intention, craft, and the long game of staying creatively alive. Crowell shares hard-won lessons about process: how spending time on memoir pages puts him in a “workshop of words,” so that when he turns back to the guitar he's already thinking in language. He talks about patience as the difference between forcing a song and letting it reveal itself, his approach to collaboration, the discipline of revision, and how creative confidence is built the unglamorous way: by showing up for the work, again and again. His new album “Airline Highway” is available now. Follow Rodney @rodneyjcrowell Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Stanley Simmons: From Viral Moment to Americana Revival | Evan Stanley & Nick Simmons Interview In this episode of Caught on the Mike, host Mike sits down with Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the folk-Americana duo behind Stanley Simmons, for a conversation about creativity, connection, and finding the right sound at the right time. Though they've known each other their entire lives—and grew up immersed in music history as the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS—they never intended to collaborate. That changed after a spontaneous viral Instagram video revealed an undeniable vocal chemistry, what they describe as a “third voice,” and sparked the formation of Stanley Simmons. The conversation explores the making of their debut single “Body Down,” a song rooted in Americana, folk, blues, and classic songwriting traditions, while feeling distinctly modern. Evan and Nick discuss writing 41 songs in just 11 months, working with legendary producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore), and how early bedroom demos evolved into a full-length album. They also reflect on creating music without chasing trends, navigating legacy without leaning on it, and why they believe music is medicine—a form of resilience, expression, and connection in uncertain times. If you're a fan of Americana music, folk revival, singer-songwriters, roots rock, or artists like Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Noah Kahan, and Harry Styles, this episode offers a thoughtful look at two artists building something honest and enduring.

Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/Analytic⁠Join The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment examines Zach Bryan's bold sixth studio album, With Heaven on Top, released January 9, 2026, via Belting Bronco/Warner Records. Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this in-depth review covers the 25-track project (runtime ~78 minutes), entirely written and produced by Bryan in Tulsa-area Oklahoma homes, blending raw Americana, folk, and outlaw country with themes of sobriety, recovery, marriage, past relationships, loss, addiction, fatherhood doubts, and American identity tensions.Just three days later, on January 12, Bryan dropped a 24-track acoustic version—raw, one-take recordings with intentional imperfections—to counter overproduction critiques, preserving his authentic roots. Standout tracks include "Skin" (addressing his 2023–2024 breakup with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, tattoos, and sobriety), "Plastic Cigarettes" (emotional depth), "Runny Eggs" and "Camper" (softer nods to his New Year's Eve 2025 marriage to Samantha Leonard in Spain), and the controversial "Bad News" (politically charged ICE references and fading American dream).Critical reception praises Bryan's vulnerability and storytelling—Rolling Stone calls it his "most considered and accomplished," Pitchfork notes his growth on a "larger canvas" (7.0 rating), while others highlight emotional power amid excessive length causing fatigue. The album reinforces Bryan's status as a generation-defining force in Americana, post-Navy service (honorably discharged 2021), with massive catalog success (~$350M sale in 2025), billions in streams, and a 2026 stadium tour featuring MJ Lenderman, Dijon, and Alabama Shakes.Analytic Dreamz breaks down personal reflections, buzz tracks, controversies, and why With Heaven on Top delivers an unflinching portrait of flux in modern life, solidifying Bryan's raw honesty despite debates over sprawl.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For and this Toe Tag.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is normally a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery. Today is a bonus episode we call a Toe Tag. It is the first chapter from a fresh release in the mystery, crime, and thriller genre.Featured release is FOREWARNED by Tracy S. PhillipsFOREWARNED is a suspense. It's the summer of 1976 in Carlson, Indiana and the lives of two teens intertwine in a way that will change both their lives forever. Still reeling from her parents' divorce, 15-year old Daphne Post sees the family next door as having everything she doesn't. But Lara Vaughn is tired of doing what her parents expect and is working to break out of the box she was born into. Daphne senses tragedy is about to fall but who will be the dead and who will be the guilty.Bottom line: FOREWARNED is for you if you like Americana suspense with a whisper of the paranormal and historical fiction.At its heart, this suspense is built around skewed ideals and what happens when the veils fall. The story opens on Daphne's 15th birthday, the day her family arrives at her grandmother's lake home. It's the first summer without her father, the first summer after the divorce. Daphne blames her mother and has gone to calling her by her first name. She's trapped in a house with her mother and aunt, brother and two cousins, all younger. What from the outside looks like teen angst and defiance masks heartbreak and anger. Daphne looks to the house next door and sees the “perfect” family – society leading mother, uber successful father, three popular kids.The Vaughn family does look perfect, but behind the screen is a father in a political role obsessed with appearances and control, a mother who lives for society life (and her tennis instructor), an older brother who has been all but cut off for not falling in line with his career, and a younger brother who figured out how to suck up to his father. That leaves Lara, queen of the popular girls, utterly miserable. She's expected to go to college, get her Mrs. degree, and land a ladder climbing husband. Lara dreamed of a modeling career.As Daphne joins the partying Vaughn siblings, its clear everything is not merry and well. Daphne has been able to see images of the future when she touches others. Her senses are working overtime with the Vaughns and her mother's too slick new boyfriend. Daphne sees enough to know dark days are coming and someone won't survive but she doesn't know who, and she has no one to talk to about it.The central characters are between 15 and 25 years old, and is classified as a Young Adult novel, but this is really a story for suspense readers of any age. The struggles the kids face are universal – the grass is always greener … until you climb the fence and realize its been spray painted.In all genres, there is a spectrum from light to heavy, for suspense, we're going to use nail biters. FOREWARNED is at the lighter end and I give it two nail biters. The tension is high enough to keep the pages rapidly turning.The setting back in 1976 does give a flashback of Americana and the prospective of an upper class. For children of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, its filled with little “I remember that” treats. I loved Philips “product placement” naming brands and foods that were part of my childhood including Bottle Caps, wax candy bottles, Necco Wafers, and Bubble Yum. For children of the 80s and on, it paints a picture of American society and the gains women have made in divorce, education, and careers.The logic in this one stands up well. It is a straightforward story with Daphne and Lara being true to their characters. I personally would have like to see the paranormal be more of a story element. Daphne's...

Langhorne Slim made his bones as an acoustic singer-songwriter, but on his new album The Dreamin' Kind he teams up with Greta Van Fleet's Sam Kiszka and Danny Wagner to make a bona fide Americana rock & roll album. We go deep into how the Nashville troubadour bonded with the rock stars, and also ask Slim about what drove him to get sober. It's a fascinating interview with an artist who isn't afraid to decare, “We're living in f-cked up times.” We also preview the country albums we're excited to hear in 2026 and share what we're listening to this week in our Hear Now segment.   Country is Here…Nashville is Now.   Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz offers a focused, data-driven breakdown of Zach Bryan's introspective album track “Plastic Cigarette” from his new project With Heaven On Top, released January 9–10, 2026, via Warner Records / Belting Bronco Records.Born 1996 in Oologah, Oklahoma, Zach Bryan rose from raw, self-uploaded songs during his 7–8 years in the U.S. Navy (honorable discharge 2021) to major-label success with American Heartbreak (2022, No. 1 Top Country Albums), the self-titled Zach Bryan (2023), and a Grammy win for “I Remember Everything” (with Kacey Musgraves). His signature style—introspective, emotionally raw Americana, folk, outlaw country—prioritizes authenticity over polish.“Plastic Cigarette” (track 15) debuted live in Dublin, Ireland (summer 2025) and quickly became a fan favorite. The understated, reflective song explores emotional longing, regret, artificial coping mechanisms, and the metaphor of a “plastic cigarette” as a substitute for genuine connection. Critics praise its use of space, warmth, minimalism, and atmospheric restraint over hook-driven structure (noted by Pitchfork, Stereogum, Holler.country, StayFreeRadioIP).As a non-lead single, it lacks immediate chart entries (no Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, or UK Singles peaks as of January 13, 2026), but benefits from album-wide streaming surges, fan playlist placement (~1.7K saves on one reported list), strong Reddit/social engagement, and organic discovery. No significant radio push or media syncs yet.Bryan reinforces his unfiltered ethos with a full acoustic version of With Heaven On Top—recorded solo, one-take per song, no overdubs—dropping just three days post-album to preempt overproduction critiques. The project was recorded across three Oklahoma houses in winter, emphasizing live takes, minimal polish, emotional immediacy, and collaboration with close friends as a return to spiritual, less commercial roots.Analytic Dreamz examines how “Plastic Cigarette” aligns with Bryan's pattern: slow-burn traction for non-singles, growth via live teases, fan-driven long-tail streaming, and tour amplification. The upcoming With Heaven On Tour (March–October 2026) hits stadiums across the U.S. (Raymond James, Bank of America, Gillette, Empower Field, multiple nights at Tottenham Hotspur), UK (Anfield), Ireland, and Europe (Spain, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands), setting the stage for sustained catalog and album momentum.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff analysis of a deeply resonant, authenticity-first track poised for organic growth in 2026.

Our guest this week hails from Tobias, Nebraska, a town of about 100 people. Evan Bartels is a singer-songwriter who with his 2017 debut, 'The Devil, God & Me,' burst onto the national scene. More recently, Bartels has expanded his audience with the release of his EP, 'To Make You Cry,' recorded after relocating to Nashville and reflecting on a period of personal upheaval and renewal.  Bartels has toured with American Aquarium, The White Buffalo, and John Moreland; he records for MCA/Universal; and he's performed at Mile of Music, AmericanaFest, and the C2C Festival. 'No Depression' calls him "a haunting new presence in Americana," while Americana Highways praises his "unvarnished, soul-bearing songwriting." 'Glide Magazine' notes his "ability to turn bruised experience into stark, resonant beauty."  I caught up with Evan Bartels a few months ago for The Working Songwriter to hear about his musical journey so far.

In this episode of the Safe Travels Podcast, I'm joined by Bill Parker, Chief of Resources and Park Historian at Petrified Forest National Park, for a wide-ranging conversation that explores the historical and logistical forces that have shaped one of America's most iconic desert landscapes.Bill takes us beyond the park's famous petrified wood and into the human stories tied to Route 66, early automobile tourism, and the rise of roadside Americana in northern Arizona. We dive into how Holbrook, Arizona helped inspire Pixar's Radiator Springs, the significance of the historic REO Mountaineer, and why Petrified Forest remains one of the few national parks where Route 66 still runs directly through protected land.As Chief of Resources, Bill also explains the real-world challenges of preservation—from decades of petrified wood theft to the long-term impacts of highways, railroads, and modern transportation corridors on fragile cultural and natural resources. This episode offers a rare look at how infrastructure, tourism, and conservation intersect inside the National Park Service.Bill is an institution at Petrified Forest National Park, I'm grateful that he joined the podcast! ______________Follow us on social!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safetravelspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@safetravelspodYouTube: youtube.com/@safetravelspodSafetravelspod.com
