Here’s some the best Americana and roots-type music releases for August 15th, 2025. Click the artist or album links to find out more. The artist’s names link to their websites and the CD title links go to either Amazon, iTunes, Bandcamp or the artist’s site for ordering or downloading. A + sign means although not a featured release, it’s a notable album that’s still worth checking out. Also, this page will be updated as I find out about other new releases so check back again.
Molly Tuttle
So Long Little Miss Sunshine (Nonesuch Records)
Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce, the fifth full album from the singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist marks a sonic departure from her recent work and features twelve new songs—eleven originals and one cover. Tuttle says, “I’ve been wanting to make this record for such a long time. Part of me was scared to do such a big departure, and that went into the album title.” Eventually she decided, “‘You know what? I’m just not going to care what people think. I’m going to do what I want.’” On her new album, a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus one murder ballad, Tuttle goes to a whole new place. (from label’s press release)
