Talking Walls—out now—looks back on that era gracefully and groovily, finding Winwood literally “talking to the walls” as she looks inward with new purpose. Penned over those long sleepless nights, with clear eyes and a willingness to ask tough questions, each song takes a different tack into the introspective wind—all backed by a minimalist-roots sound. The now East Nashville-based artist (and daughter of Grammy-winning British rocker Steve Winwood) simply wrote her story and brought it to her band at Nashville’s Trace Horse studio—no producer needed.

Kendall Marvel- “Don’t Tell Me How to Drink”

Kendell Marvel’s new song, “Don’t Tell Me How To Drink,” featuring longtime friend and collaborator Chris Stapleton, is out now.
Of the song, Marvel reflects, “I wrote ‘Don’t Tell Me How To Drink’ with my old songwriting buddy Chris Stapleton a couple years ago. Me and Beau Bedford tracked this song, and I sent it to Stapleton asking if he would be interested in playing guitar and singin’ on it. It’s a damn thrill for me to have him on this Honky Tonkin’, Rock n Rollin’, Hell Raiser. Younger folks might be better at some things, but don’t mess with the old dogs when it comes to stuff like drinkin’!”

Catie Offerman releases her latest track today, “Get A Dog”
“Get A Dog,” which suggests that man’s best friend might be the only friend to a horrible human, was conceived in a writing session after discussing how all the writers had been in relationships with people who just weren’t worth their time.
“This song is for anyone who has ever dated someone who was basically unlovable,” says Offerman. “Not calling, staying out late, coming home drunk, acting crazy – guys and girls are both guilty of it. When we find those people in our lives, instead of trying to fix them, we just need to tell them to hit the road and get a dog – cause that’s the only thing on earth that’ll love them!” Offerman makes her Opry debut on Sept. 2.
