• Check out great Texas country band Jason Boland & the Stragglers. This is red-dirt music! They got the steel guitar in front, the fiddle and mandolin in the back and some great songwriting all around.
Dig the song Dark & Dirty Mile from the 2013-album with the same name, produced by Shooter Jennings. It’s for real. And if you by any chance head out to Little Rock, Arkansas this Friday nite, they got a show going on.
• Katie Bulley from Hamilton, Ontario, is a raw talented singer/songwriter that gets into your heart at the first listen. It´s rough folk music gone haywire.
Katie has just wrapped up recording her first full-length album Sun Wolf at renowned Sun Studio in Memphis, TN. Available May 30th, 2014.
Try her two minute warning Up & In down below. The video works as homage to Bob Dylan, Debbie Harry, Ike & Tina, New York Dolls, enjoy!
Roo & The Howl takes a beautiful dig at the classic Son-of-a Preacher Man at a Colorado bon-fire. Making Dusty Springfield proud!
Roo & The Howl is Bekah Wagner – wonderful talented songstress with the 2014 debut album Me/We out in record stores as we speak.
This is music worth waiting for. Bittersweet symphonies making the world go round. Tag along for the dark skies, and enjoy the bright ride.

• Our old buddy Langhorne Slim is still racing the streets of America, spreading his gospel. Right now he´s playing a two-week-tour with Deer Tick in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Check out the ever beautiful, the itchy and scratchy, the nervous bible of Song for Sid – and keep rollin’.

• Check out Americana-man Matt Woods, a southern rocker with the folky country vibe in his back pocket. His strong voice makes strong heartland songs even stronger.
Woods has been a figure in the East Tennessee music scene for the past ten years and has performed in several bands as well as working as a solo artist.
Don’t miss his album With Love From Brushy Mountain, released May 13th. The beautiful tune Deadman’s Blues is our Tuesday treat, enjoy!
The best Kentuckyseven-album of 2013 came from Jason Isbell, his Southeastern knocked us down and out.
Wonder why? Give this live take of Cover Me Up a minute of your life. It’s a chilling experience – very emotional.
Stumbled upon this gem of a song from back in the days of 2006. The Raconteurs (Detroitband with Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence & Patrick Keeler) and their Broken Boy Soldier.
Just an amazing tune, very early Led Zeppelin-ish and Jack really got the Plantesque style in full swing. Great, great song on a Tuesday nite, enjoy!

Ya´ll remember Swear and Shake from Brooklyn, NY? We interviewed vocalist Kari Spieler a while back, check this.
The band is one of our all-time K7-favs: Folky heavy metal with boot-stompin oohs n’ aahs downed with a bitter twist of Deliverance.
You know why listening to this great tune, Brother from album Ain’t That Lovin’. Have a roaring weekend!
