With house lights turned all the way down, and a steady fog machine masking the glow of several hundred smartphones, Evan Felker stepped onto the Cain’s Ballroom stage in Tulsa.
He did a quick double-take when his eyes caught the 1,700 fans fortunate enough to have made it inside on Friday night, who roared at the collective realization that the six silhouettes on stage really were the Turnpike Troubadours.
Whether by design or blind luck, the lights stayed off while the band went through nearly two minutes of tuning and straightening microphone stands,...

Veteran Texas performer Jack Ingram turns in a searing, six-minute cover of Guy Clark’s famed “Desperados Waiting for a Train” in a new video, filmed during tracking at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas. The song appears on Ingram’s 10th studio album Riding High…Again, which was released Friday.
Ingram had the opportunity to collaborate with late songwriting icon Clark on several occasions. Their friendship adds some heft to Ingram’s rendering of the story about the bond between a younger man and an “old school man of the world,...

“I ain’t the devil, just the devil you know,” howls Jared Deck on the rollicking “Great American Breakdown,” the lead single from his newly announced sophomore album, Bully Pulpit. The Oklahoma-based troubadour evokes the hard-driving blues blend of late-Sixties Rolling Stones and soulful Southern gospel while maintaining his blue-collar earnestness on the politically charged anthem.
“I wanted something that felt really good so I could talk about some things that maybe don’t always feel so good,” Deck tells Rolling Stone Country. Like songwriters Will Hoge or Steve Earle,...

What a year in rock music! There, I said it. Too much to take in. Like a rowboat taking in more water than I can bail out. I keep getting new music recommended to me by friends, publicists, old lovers, dudes on subways, songs blasting in hipster boutiques; freakin' new music was everywhere. I got tipped to U.K. acts such as punk rockers Sleaford Mods, poetry rapper Kate Tempest, and folkster Jake Bugg; there was a new pop rock opus by Dan Wilson, and soulful Brooklynite Selena Garcia, and much more. I could barely compile my "best of/favorites of 2014" list knowing that I'll probably discover even more music after I've completed it. But here goes...my ten favorite tracks from 2014, a few essential reissues, and my ten favorite albums, yes, albums, like on real heavy duty vinyl, with two sides and everything.
Singles:
"Brother" - Selena Garcia...
