The Milk Carton Kids – “When You’re Gone”
It’s been a few years since we’ve been blessed with new music from the Milk Carton Kids, whose collaboration turned 10 last year. This is the second single they’ve released from a new album they’re planning to release in the spring, and we are definitely here for it.
Jaimee Harris – “Love Is Gonna Come Again”
This new single from Jaimee Harris’s forthcoming album (due Feb. 7) was inspired when she lost some friends around 2016-17. She imagined what she would want to hear if faced with that and decided to finish this emotionally stirring song.
Ray Wylie Hubbard – “Whiskey River”
Texas singer-songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard participated in a concert album, paying tribute to the great Willie Nelson. The full album isn’t due until April 2023, but Hubbard’s version of “Whiskey River” is out now, and well worth your ears.
Karan Casey – “Nine Apples of Gold”
Karan Casey may be known to fans as a member of beloved Irish band Solas, but her solo album Nine Apples of Gold is due Feb. 22, 2023. This title track is based on a story about songbirds who ate apples from a sort of magic tree.
Frances Luke Accord – “St. Mary”
This Chicago-based duo (Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers) have a new album due for release in February, 2023, and this is the first, rather infectious single to come from it.
