Melissa Carper
A Very Carper Christmas  (Mae Music)

Putting together a Christmas album (a good one), particularly with new material, is a difficult needle to thread. Ideally, it needs to be original without being too divergent, sentimental but not sappy, and emotive but not treacly. And, even though she was initially hesitant to take on the project, Melissa Carper has somehow managed all of that. Her perfectly titled A Very Carper Christmas captures all of her personal quirky humor and warmth while also inviting musical friends to share in the festivities. Fair warning – if you have vivid memories of holidays past (good or not-so), Carper will manage to tweak a tear duct or two somewhere across these 15 tracks. (edited from Americana Highways review)

Old Crow Medicine Show
OCMS XMAS  (Hartland Records)

Old Crow Medicine Show is starting the holiday season off with their first Christmas album featuring two covers and 11 original songs, strung together in multicolored lights and evoking a timeless sense of string-band stomp. Speaking about the lead single, John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” and significance of its arrival, Ketch Sector says, “Of all the Christmas songs the radio stations drench us with as soon as the Thanksgiving feast turns to leftovers, there is only one I never tire of hearing.” “We’re in the joy business,” Secor continues, “From the very start, a lot of the virtues of Christmas—the r – evelry, the sing-alongs, the happiness—have been present in our show.”  (edited from Relix review)

Colter Wall
Memories and Empties  (LaHonda Records)

On this new album though, Colter Wall is said to be “carrying the torch of traditional country music’s legacy beyond Nashville’s commercial influence” and is releasing a “collection of drinking songs and blue collar stories is tailor-made for the honky tonks, barrooms, porches, and pickups it will soon be inhabiting—all deeply inspired by that 1970s era of country music that still permeates early breakfasts at the diner before work and late Saturday nights that bleed into Sunday mornings.”  Well that all sounds like music to our ears. The reason Colter Wall has become so wildly successful with Western music is because he doesn’t just play the music, he champions it. With so many wanting to make “country” albums these days, Colter Wall is one interloper the country music community will be more than happy to take in.  (edited from Saving Country Music review)

Luke Bell
The King Is Back  (All Blue Recordings)

Wyoming native Luke Bell was an enigma in life, became a cult legend upon his death, and despite his scant output, has become an influential artist as his legend has only grown in the music world he left behind. Shortly after releasing his landmark self-titled album in 2016, the question on the minds of many Luke Bell fans was “Where Ya Been?” Once one of the most promising prospects in country music, but virtually disappeared from the touring circuit, and never released a followup album. In truth, Luke Bell was struggling with severe bipolar disorder in the aftermath of his father’s death. It became hard enough for him to deal with life, let alone continue to pursue a music career. Ever since the death of Luke Bell, folks have been asking about the possibility of new or unreleased music he might have left behind. The collection of songs was assembled with the guidance of Luke’s mother Carol Bell, his sister Jane Bell, and his manager. Along with getting such a treasure trove of Luke Bell music, it’s going to a good cause. All proceeds from the album release will support The Luke Bell Memorial Affordable Counseling Program, a non-profit organization founded by Carol and Jane Bell that supports Big Horn Basin residents  (edited from Saving Country Music review)

 

Willie Nelson
Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle  (Sony Legecy)

Willie Nelson pays tribute to his longtime friend Merle Haggard on his latest album Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle featuring Willie’s new interpretations of 11 classics penned by Merle Haggard. is the latest in Nelson’s storied history of focusing entire albums on a single songwriter’s or artist’s work. In the last decade alone, he has released albums focusing on songwriters Harlan Howard, Ray Price, George Gershwin and Rodney Crowell, and released two volumes of songs associated with Frank Sinatra. The album announcement comes on the heels of the premiere of Highway 99: A Double Album, the career-spanning documentary on the life and career of Merle Haggard directed by Ethan Hawke which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival last weekend and featured Nelson as a prominent interview subject.  (edited from Music Row review)

Greensky Bluegrass
XXV  (Big Blue Zoo Records)

The members of what would eventually become Greensky Bluegrass played their first show together. In the quarter century since, the quintet has become internationally known for their musically intricate shows, including 20 appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. To celebrate their anniversary, the band assembled a baker’s dozen of their favorite songs, along with 10 of their best musical pals, all appearing on XXV, a career retrospective that shares the spotlight with some of the best pickers alive. Guests on the album include Sam Bush, Lindsay Lou, Billy Strings, Holly Bowling, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jennifer Hartswick, Natalie Cressman, Jason Hann, Aoife O’Donovan and Ivan Neville.  (edited from Americana Highways review)

Jeremy Pinnell
Decades  (SofaBurn Records)

Merle Haggard. Concrete Blonde. Tom Petty. AC/DC. Those artists were on repeat, mixing with the gospel hymns he sang in church, influencing the ever-evolving songwriting that would eventually take him far beyond Kentucky. Four albums later, Pinnell digs deep into those hook-heavy beginnings with Decades. It’s the most melodic album of his acclaimed career, produced by Shooter Jennings and influenced by the radio-friendly choruses he heard as a teenager. “I love hooks,” Pinnell says unapologetically. “I love big, melodic songs that talk about serious things. That’s what I wanted to do with Decades: share intimate observations about myself and others in a hooky, positive way. I wanted it to be personal, but I also wanted it to be fun.”  (from Bandcamp bio)

Brandi Carlile
Returning to Myself  (Lost Highway/Interscope Records)

There are times on Brandi Carlile’s new album, Returning to Myself, where she is comfortably easing into the material, and other times where one can almost sense the challenges of new sounds and the influence of three different producers. Unlike previous Carlile albums, keyboards, synths, and effects are present. Carlile has long been inspired by Emmylou Harris’s Wrecking Ball, a strong singer prevailing against an entirely new musical backdrop. The theme of the album, as suggested by the title, is fighting transitions. The well-decorated singer-songwriter is well past the point of trying to prove anything. Yet, it’s refreshing to see Carlile embracing new approaches. And, of course, it’s beautifully and articulately rendered.  (edited from Glide Magazine review)

Joshua Hedley
No Hat  (New West Records)

This album is my pièce de resistance,” says Joshua Hedley of All Hat, his lively new collection of Western Swing tunes. “It’s all been building up to this moment. I feel like I’m making music I love more than any other style.” Produced by Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel—Hedley’s hero since childhood—the album brims with excitement, wit, and verve, as Hedley expertly navigates the tricky dance rhythms of this jazzy style of twang. It’s a sharp left turn in a career defined by sharp left turns. All Hat doesn’t try to update the style, because Hedley understands that it doesn’t need any kind of modernizing. It can sound as immediate and urgent and just plain fun now as it ever did. And he hopes folks will get up and dance. (from press release)

Americana Music Releases for Oct. 17th

Posted on October 16, 2025 by

Here’s some the best Americana and roots-type music releases for October 17th, 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.

Alison Brown & Steve Martin
Safe, Sensible, & Sane  (Compass Records)

The debut collaborative album from Alison Brown and Steve Martin, Safe, Sensible and Sane, is a collection inspired by a shared fascination with the unique beauty of the banjo. After achieving a No. 1 hit with the first tune they ever wrote together (“Foggy Morning Breaking,” from Brown’s 2023 LP On Banjo), the two  musicians started dreaming up a batch of banjo-centered songs built on Brown’s daringly innovative melodies and Martin’s quirky yet profoundly tender lyrics. They are joined on the project by numerous musical luminaries, including Jackson Browne, Jason Mraz, Indigo Girls, Aoife O’Donovan, Vince Gill, Tim O’Brien, Della Mae, and others.

Todd Snider
High, Lonesome and Then Some.  (Aimless Records)

At 57, Snider is still chasing something, though maybe not the same things he used to. In recent years, spinal stenosis has sidelined him, forcing him off the road and into an uneasy truce with pain. He’s spoken frankly about the condition—how it “doesn’t get better, just worse,” how he’s learning to walk again, how doctors and chiropractors keep him moving. High Lonesome and Then Some is the sound of a man who’s been to the brink, looked around, and decided to laugh rather than moan. It’s also the sound of a survivor who knows how easily the line between holding on and letting go can disappear. Throughout the record, Snider’s writing remains sharp, his phrasing elastic, his humor essential. He’s still the same guy who once called himself “a stoner with a notebook,” but the notebook’s heavier now. “Recently,” Snider says, “I heard someone say, ‘If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.’ So I tried it, and so far so good.” Maybe so—but what he’s really paying attention to here is life itself: the absurd, the tender, the fleeting. (edited from Americana Highway review)

Paul Burch
Cry Love  (Glider Records Ltd.)

Paul Burch’s thoroughly modern yet instantly classic songs have attracted fans from Rock to Bluegrass. His new LP Cry Love, produced with Dennis Crouch and Fats Kaplin features Burch’s longtime band The WPA Ballclub including Richard Bennett, Jen Gunderman and George Bradfute. The album was inspired by the WPABs pop-up residencies in small clubs around their home in Nashville where they perform without a setlist welcoming guests like Kevin Gordon, William Tyler and Eddie Angel. Burch also has a debut novel “Meridian Rising”, which chronicles the life and travels of music legend Jimmie Rodgers, whose meteoric career in the 1930s inspired artists from Howling Wolf and Robert Johnson to Dolly Parton and Bob Dylan.

 

Various Artists
It’s All Her Fault: A Tribute To Cindy Walker  (Hummin’Bird Records)

Cindy Walker was one of the most important and prolific songwriters in country music history, penning some 500 recorded songs, and some 400 of them charting in the Top 40, and often with the same song being recorded by different stars and in different decades. An effort to save Walker’s childhood home has been underway for multiple years, and inspired by the preservation effort, country artist and famous voice actor Grey DeLisle has taken it upon herself to record a tribute to Cindy Walker, with streaming proceeds going to the Cindy Walker Foundation. The album features a great lineup of artists who are directly inspired by the Cindy Walker catalog, including Summer Dean, Kimmi Bitter, Rosie Flores, Amythyst Kiah, Brennen Leigh, Melissa Carper, Jolie Holland, and more. You also have some top musicians in traditional country appearing on the album, including pedal/lap steel player Chris Scruggs, Deke Dickerson, and drummer Lisa Pankratz.

Waylon Jennings
Songbird  (Son of Jessi Records)

The first of three previously unheard albums by the legendary star, Songbird features recordings produced between 1973 and 1984 in various studios by Waylon and his longtime drummer Richie Albright, featuring members of his indelible backing band, The Waylors, including renowned pedal steel guitarist Ralph Mooney and more. Waylon’s son, producer Shooter Jennings, began sorting through hundreds of his father’s personal studio recordings and soon realized there was more than enough gold in his father’s vast musical archive to create not just one, but three new albums more than two decades after his untimely passing in 2002. “This is the first of three gifts from me to you: the fans that have kept my father’s voice, songs and legacy alive all these years. The next few years are going to be full of some of the most exciting musical moments that the world never knew they were going to hear, Shooter says, I hope that these records bring the kind of joy to you that they have brought me. This project has given me an entirely new chapter in my relationship with my father and working on this music has brought a whole new understanding about how, when and why my dad made music.”  (edited from Music Row review)

 

Brennen Leigh
Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love  (Signature Sounds Recordings)

Brennen Leigh is one of the most preeminent country and Western singers of our era, a spectacular songwriter, and a skilled guitar player to boot, even if our era has been slow to awaken to these unequivocal truths. Those that have arisen from the stupor of mainstream country radio though, they know all the superlatives placed Brennen Leigh’s feet aren’t slipping into hyperbole. Produced by steel guitar extraordinaire Kevin Skrla, this to be a sincere, honest, and pure expression of classic country, uncorrupted by commercial interests or trend chasing. “I recorded a country and Western album. I know that’s shocking,” Brennen says. “But if you are into things like heavy steel guitar, good stories, some crying and sadness and heartache, I think this might be the kind of record for you. I made it down in Texas at Wolf Island Recording Company, and I got the best people I could to play on it. I think if you’re into C&W, that’s your jam, I have a feeling you might like it.” Leigh embodies classic country that speaks to the heart. (edited from Saving Country Music review)
