Knox Road label partner Walk-In Records is excited to announce the signing of experimental Nashville folk musician, Jordon Salveson. Salveson represents a bit of a change-up for Walk-In, as we’ve seen lo-fi and progressive, but not much of the “soothing” variety. He is widely unknown, and we hope to change that with the Walk-In signing.… Continue reading Walk-In Records signs Jordon Salveson

Annie Williams
Annie Williams is a dark and sultry songstress who picked up and moved from St. Louis to the wild west of Wyoming and New Mexico (while taking a short break in Nashville — what a mover!). The constant shift in locales must have contributed to the unique approach to the “singer/songwriter” genre. Her songs are… Continue reading Annie Williams
Casa Castile
Sometimes a hot summer afternoon calls for a tall cold drink and a soft breeze to really make the heat bearable; Nashville’s Casa Castile is an indie-rock equivalent.

I’m not even sure what the best context is to listen to this… Continue reading Evan P. Donohue
[MP3] Tallest Trees: “Alouette!”
So many influences and instruments at play I don’t even know where to start. “Alouette!”‘s got this tribal twee thing going on, with backing choral harmonies and an array of styles somehow strung together. It’s that song you put on at a bonfire during the day, and instead of sitting around eating s’mores or telling… Continue reading [MP3] Tallest Trees: “Alouette!”
A belated tribute to Landon Pigg
With Landon Pigg‘s latest album, The Boy Who Never, dropping a couple weeks ago (September 29,) I realized we’ve never really given him his fair due here on KR. I posted an mp3 from him a while back in preparation for SXSW, titled “Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop”, which has received much fanfare… Continue reading A belated tribute to Landon Pigg
