Donovan Woods has announced plans for his new album, Without People. The Canadian singer-songwriter’s follow-up to 2018’s Both Ways, the full-length project will be released November 6th.
Recorded remotely by Woods and backing musicians during quarantine, Without People shows Woods exploring various aspects of human connection. The first release, “Grew Apart,” is a looser, funkier number that depicts someone struggling to hide his real feelings about a breakup, while the more recent “Clean Slate” describes the sensation of falling in love and wishing the past could be wiped away.

Just before Christmas last year, Tucker Beathard had his worst fear realized — tragically losing a member of his close-knit family. Beathard’s younger brother Clay was one of two men killed after a December 21st altercation outside of a Nashville bar. Clay was just 22.
“I was always scared of something like this happening,” Beathard, the 25-year-old country singer and son of hit songwriter Casey Beathard, tells Rolling Stone. Devastated in the days that followed, he turned to his faith and to his dad. Together they wrote “I Ain’t Without You,...

Tucker Beathard has reimagined his recent song “Faithful” as a brooding duet, with singer-guitarist Lindsay Ell joining him in the studio for the collaboration. The track appears in its original solo form on Beathard’s upcoming album King, set for release on August 21st.
Beathard leads off the tune with some slowed-down electric-guitar arpeggios and puts his heart out on his sleeve as he negotiates for fidelity and something long-term. “I say we lay it all out on the table, if you’re willing girl I’m able/Let’s be faithful,...

Tucker Beathard’s new single “You Would Think” is an emotionally-heavy ballad about the desire to be there for someone in times of need — if only they’d let you. Beathard personifies that conflict in a music video that follows a daughter as she tries to care for her alcoholic mother.
Directed by Sam Siske, the clip was filmed around Nashville, including a pivotal scene at Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge in nearby Madison, Tennessee. By the video’s end, there’s some resolution, but it’s far from any happy ending.

Tucker Beathard gets his revenge on an ex who dumps him in the humorous new video for “Better Than Me.” Released earlier in 2019, the song appears on a new Ep alongside “Find Me Here.”
“Better Than Me” nods to Beathard’s Nineties rock influences, with a huge, arena-ready chorus and guitar crunch to spare as it mines classic country heartbreak for its thematic material. But in this case, song and video are at odds: the song sounds like he genuinely hopes she’s better off without him, while Beathard’s...

Singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress made her television debut on Monday, performing her current release “Lady Like” on Late Night With Seth Meyers. The Colorado native released the song — her first under a recording agreement with Warner Music Nashville — in February.
Andress, who was a co-writer on Charli Xcx’s 2017 hit “Boys,” takes a critical look at herself in “Lady Like,” along with all the gendered expectations such a term conveys. “I don’t even own a dress/Bite my nails when I get stressed/Do whatever for attention if I’m needin’ it,...

A cover of the Oscar-winning “Shallow,” a powerful anthem by one half of Sugarland and an uplifting message song by a nameless, faceless collective of Nashville artists help make up the tracks you need to hear this week.
Jimmie Allen & Abbey Anderson, “Shallow”
A Star Is Born‘s show-stealing power ballad won big at this year’s Oscars, taking home a trophy for Best Original Song. On this cover, country upstarts Jimmie Allen and Abby Anderson revamp the Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper original with vocal acrobatics and country-pop polish, turning...

Tucker Beathard was an independent artist when he released last year’s Nobody’s Everything, a record of co-written originals rooted in alt-rock’s crunch and country-pop’s gloss. Three months later, he’s back with an anthemic single, “Better Than Me,” as well as a new, high-powered partner: Warner Music Nashville.
With Warner’s help, Beathard will make good on his original plan to release his debut album in two installments, following the nine-song Nobody’s Everything with an equally sized second half sometime this spring. There’s no...

A potent new version of a country classic, an unearthed Eighties demo and the indie return of a promising young talent make up the songs you need to hear this week.
Tucker Beathard, “Leave Me Alone”
The son of hit songwriter Casey Beathard keeps the family business alive with “Leave Me Alone,” a mid-tempo plea for peace, quiet and an unbroken heart. He makes a good case for his own independence, too, pulling quadruple duty as the song’s co-writer, co-producer, drummer and guitarist.

When Tucker Beathard released his debut single “Rock On” in 2016, the young songwriter watched as his then label Dot Records, a now defunct imprint of Big Machine Records, motivated the song up the charts. It peaked at Number 2, but Beathard wasn’t able to match its success — even by singing about “Momma and Jesus” in the follow-up single and doing BMX stunts in its Jackass-inspired video.
Soon, relations with the label became strained and Beathard felt as if he were being boxed in creatively.

A searching bit of electro-tinged pop from Hunter Hayes, a psychedelic duet from Lera Lynn and a grand tribute to a family hero by Tucker Beathard make up the 10 must-hear country and Americana songs this week.
Cordovas, “I’m the One Who Needs You Tonight”
With plenty of parlor piano, pedal steel and stacked harmonies, “I’m the One Who Needs You Tonight” mixes the unpolished country-rock of Workingman’s Dead with the woodsy warmth of Music From Big Pink. The result is a song that wears its countercultural influences proudly,...

When Eric Church’s debut album Sinners Like Me hit in 2006, it signaled a brash new direction for country music. Here was an artist who, although leaning heavily on rock & roll, maintained a foothold in country, especially with his enlightened workingman lyricism. Naturally, Church evolved over his next four albums, embracing both harder sounds and a more singer-songwriter vibe that culminated with the surprise release Mr. Misunderstood in 2015 (he’ll further his catalog with the new Desperate Man on October 5th). In celebration of Church gracing the August cover of Rolling Stone,...
