New Album Review: Megan Moroney- Am I Okay?

Megan Moroney's anticipated sophomore disc proves to be far more than just okay, it's a damn good delight.

Zach Bryan's superb surprise album highlights a stacked month that also marked a return from Turnpike Troubadours and a rock opus from Grace Potter.

Morgan Wade avoids the sophomore slump by doubling down on the rugged & confessional rock overtones of her debut.

A sun-kissed follow-up to its wintry, COVID-era predecessor, Mr. Sun is soulful and forward-looking.

On her seventh LP, Amanda Shires pushes her American roots sound down a more devilish rock avenue.
