Walk-In Records signs Jordon Salveson

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 […]

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 […]

I’m not even sure what the best context is to listen […]

It’s that song you put on at a bonfire during the day, and instead of sitting around eating s’mores […]

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 […]
