LUKE DICK | Music From the Documentary Red Dog
One of country’s most eccentric songwriters dug into his colorful roots with a film about the topless bar where his mom worked, and its soundtrack is just as brilliantly weird. With help from Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, and more, Luke Dick finds beauty in the unconventional. (Available now)
GEORGE SHINGLETON | Out All Nighter
Lower Broadway may not feel the same this year, but you can bring its spirit home with George Shingleton’s Out All Nighter. With a rambling, live-country sound and a barrel-chested vocal that recalls Travis Tritt, eight bar-top anthems and whiskey-soaked reflections are on tap. (Available now)
CALL ME SPINSTER | Call Me Spinster
With a debut EP that’s equal parts quirky and cool, sister trio Call Me Spinster plant their flag as Chattanooga true originals. Grounded in blood harmony and built with under-appreciated instruments, these songs fuse the leftover remnants of mid-century American pop into something new. (Available Dec. 11)
