Flatland Cavalry
For the past decade, Flatland Cavalry has built a reputation as “one of the most dynamic presences in country music” (Rolling Stone) with their signature “Easy on the ears, heavy on the heart” sound. In 2024, the sextet celebrated 10 years together with Flatland Forever, an acclaimed album that pays tribute to their journey, revisiting fan favorites while introducing new songs that showcase how far they’ve come.

Jason Boland & The Stragglers
The Last Kings Of Babylon—Boland’s eleventh studio album with his longtime band, The Stragglers—is no nostalgia trip, though. Recorded with legendary producer Lloyd Maines, the collection finds Boland and the band continuing to evolve, pushing sonic boundaries and challenging genre conventions even as they embrace history and tradition. The songwriting is bold and muscular here, filtering classic country through a kaleidoscopic lens of rock, punk, bluegrass, and folk, and the performances are raw and exhilarating to match, captured live on the studio floor in just two whirlwind days of basic tracking. The result is a timeless offering from a group of master craftsmen at the top of their game, a joyful, honest snapshot of a working band 25 years into their unlikely—and unstoppable—career.
