The Nashville-quartet s latest album Brightest of Days explores the boundaries of a traditional sound. Band member Alex King explains the musical direction.
Ashtyn Barbaree's new album, "Better Luck Next Time," is the perfect thing to listen to while driving with the windows down. Her angelic, yet raspy, voice, and intricate Americana-infused melodies pair perfectly with the warm, sunny days ahead. The album deals with the perils of romance with the wrong person, the moments between growing up and being there for a loved one and just finding where you belong.
