In a food landscape largely controlled by corporations, Farm Aid 2024 showcased farmers who are creating community-based food systems that improve food access and quality, boost farmer income and local economies, and promote healthier soil and water.
At the sold-out event at Broadview Stage at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a diverse group of farmers and food producers shared the ways they work in their communities to develop a more democratic farm and food system that is healthy, safe, equitable and accessible. What they say they need is more support from our country’s eaters, as well as from our elected representatives in local, state and federal government.
Farm Aid's leadership and artist board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Margo Price highlighted the resilience and generosity of these producers, calling on the country to harness our collective strength to counter corporate dominance in our food system.

Willie Nelson and Margo Price encouraged their fans in Texas and Tennessee to register to vote and cast a ballot in favor of the states’ respective Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate. In Texas, Colin Allred is trying to unseat Republican Ted Cruz, while Gloria Johnson — one of the Tennessee Three — is challenging Republican Marsha Blackburn.

Manu Chao first made a splash in the late Nineties with his fantastic debut solo album, Clandestino, the work of a multilingual, post-modern leftist busker whose music seemed to infuse the everything-at-once sonics of Beck’s Odelay with the spirit of Woody Guthrie, Bob Marley, and Joe Strummer. The title appropriated a derogatory term for undocumented immigrants, and Manu Chao (who was born in Paris to Spanish parents and had previously been in the Clash-y French rock band Mano Negra) made the album traveling around the world producing songs on...

Bill Maher is looking to a good old-fashioned American pastime to help heal the nation.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian used the country music genre’s ever-evolving inclusion as an example of progress as he urged Americans to “duplicate this on a grander scale.”
“Just look at the music. Maybe that’s the best analogy for where we are culturally. I used to hate country music — for a very good reason, it sucked. But it changed, because the people making it changed. It’s not some pickin’ and a-grinnin’ bumpkin in a rhinestone leisure suit vaguely longing for the return of segregation anymore… mostly.”
Pointing to Shaboozey and Post Malone as signs of progress in the genre, Maher added, “Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson both have the same hobby.”

Nobody could have a bad day singing with Willie Nelson, which is probably why Manu Chao sounds pretty upbeat on his duet with Nelson, “Heaven’s Bad Day.” The track appears on Viva Tu, Chao’s just-released first record in 17 years.
The artists sing, “Nobody come to visit my heavens today,” together over some swiftly strummed guitar, harmonica, and a little triangle. The video features black & white footage of group of little rascals getting up to no good in the most adorable ways possible. The visuals perfectly reflect the song’s carefree spirit.

The producer of Willie Nelson’s upcoming Last Leaf on the Tree album — Nelson’s son, Micah — has said that the through line for the LP is “facing death with grace.” On the surface, Nelson’s latest single, a cover of the Flaming Lips’ existentialist psychedelic rocker “Do You Realize??,” fits that rubric only with the line, “Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?” but otherwise is a beautiful celebration of life, especially when Nelson sings it.

Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” has been one of the most talked about releases of the year, with both fans and detractors weighing in on the pop/R&b star’s venture into country and Americana music and aesthetics. Naturally, a major talking point even before the album’s release was its Grammy potential, with many eager to see Beyoncé finally receive an Album of the Year prize. But before winning that top prize, there are a few factors we need to consider.
What typically signals a win in the top category is support elsewhere, especially in the country sphere, where all country Album of the Year winners have also been nominated and won. But how well will Beyoncé do exactly in terms of supporting nominations and wins in that field. While we know pop, R&b and hip-hop voters love Bey, her single “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which was a big hit with the general public,...

Call it Bob Dylan’s mechanic era. During his concert in Buffalo, New York on Tuesday night (September 17th), the 83-year-old artist proved he still has new tricks up his sleeve by breaking out a wrench during his first performance of “Desolation Row” since August 2018.
Toward the end of his final appearance on the “Outlaw Music Festival Tour,” Dylan seemingly took a tiny wrench out of nowhere and tapped it rhythmically on the microphone. Thus far, it remains a mystery as to whether this moment was planned or a spontaneous decision sparked by discovering the wrench somewhere backstage. Watch the fan-shot footage below.

Elsewhere in his set, Dylan mixed in familiar covers of Chuck Berry’s “Little Queenie” and Grateful Dead’s “Stella Blue” with originals like “All Along the Watchtower,” “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” and “Ballad of a Thin Man.”

Exclusive: The musical stars are coming out for Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman’s The Gray House.
Leslie Greif opened the series’ playlist exclusively for Deadline and there is serious star wattage in there, including an original song performed by country music legend Willie Nelson, which closes the series. Elsewhere, Shania Twain, Killer Mike and Yolanda Adams are among those to feature, and Jon Bon Jovi co-writes one of the show’s songs.
“My idea was, instead of having one [end] title song, I’m going to have eight different songs by Grammy-winning artists and in different genres of music, which are written for our show and are going to tell a story of that episode,” said Greif, who exec produces and wrote the script with Darrell Fetty, and John Sayles.

Almost 20 years into her run, she’s defined her career by always going her own way, both musically and lyrically. Her ninth solo set was recorded in her native Texas with help from peers and longtime collaborators like Brent Cobb, Natalie Hemby, and Jack Ingram, and the album’s co-producer Jon Randall. Postcards From Texas doesn’t have as many genre swerves as Lambert sometimes delivers.

Racial justice nonprofit Color of Change is calling out the Country Music Association for snubbing Beyoncé at its 2024 awards show.
Despite having an uber-successful No. 1 album and single on both the country and pop charts — with Cowboy Carter and “Texas Hold ‘Em” — the Grammy-winning star was completely shut out of the awards show honoring the best in country music.
“Beyoncé is bigger than the CMAs. She doesn’t need the CMAs. But when the CMAs make such a clear statement saying they don’t need Beyoncé, they send a clear message that aligns them with the forces desperately trying to hold onto a mythical American past that never was,” Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

During his lifetime, David Bowie managed to score Number One hits in two different genres: the sleazy glam of “Fame” reached the top in 1975, followed by the dance-pop of “Let’s Dance” eight years later. One thing he never attained, though, was a chart-topping country hit. But now, eight years after his death, Bowie can posthumously add the milestone to his discography.
Well, sort of.
This week, Chris Young’s “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” a country single first released in July 2023, reached Number One on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase country radio chart.

Wilson, last year’s entertainer of the year winner, will defend her title against Wallen, Stapleton, Luke Combs and Jelly Roll at the Nov. 20 show, airing live on ABC from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse pulled the plug on their “Love Earth” summer tour earlier this year, citing an undisclosed illness that impacted more than one member of the group. Now, Young has revealed more about the decision to cut the tour short.
In a Zoom Q&a for subscribers to the Neil Young Archives, the singer and songwriter offered a more detailed account of what went down. “A couple of us really hit a wall,” Young said. “I just woke up one morning on the bus and I said, ‘I can’t do this, I gotta stop.’ I felt sick when I thought of going onstage. My body was telling me, ‘You gotta stop.’ And so I listened to my body.”

Addressing the retirement rumors that have begun to plague his career as of recent, the 20-time Grammy winner took to X to share a clip that saw him say, “We ain’t doing no farewell tour bulls— Jesus Christ. No farewell tour for the E Street Band!

Neil Young has announced four of his classic albums are receiving vinyl reissues. Freedom, Ragged Glory – Smell the Horse, Weld, and Arc will all be back in print on October 4th.
Notably, 1989’s Freedom includes “Rockin’ in the Free World,” which was played with Young’s permission while vice presidential nominee Tim Walz took the stage at DNC 2024 earlier this week. Ragged Glory was released the following year and has been expanded with four rare tracks for this reissue.
In 1991, Young put out Weld as a live album containing recordings of performances from his tour in support of Ragged Glory. Finally, Arc is a companion album to Weld featuring feedback, improvisation, guitar solos, and vocal fragments recorded during live shows.
These albums were first remastered for vinyl when they were collected together for Young’s Official Release Series Volume 5 box set (available for purchase here) last summer.
Young also has his Archives Vol.

Within a year of the LP’s Aug. 24, 2004, release, the record had taken the band from a life of scraping by in Texas dive bars and underpaying opening-act slots to the pinnacle of the Texas music scene. Rogers has been there ever since.
Rogers founded his band in 2000 and already had a studio album to the group’s name — Like It Used to Be dropped in 2002. But Rollercoaster changed...

The announcement of Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, Last Leaf on the Tree, comes with good news and better news. The good news is that the lead single is Nelson’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” a track that Waits cut with Keith Richards for 2011’s Bad as Me. The better news is that Nelson sings it à la Nelson and doesn’t attempt a gravel-throated Waits impression. Instead, Nelson’s rendition features impressionistic guitar ear candy, a little accordion, and drums that sigh along with Nelson as...

Willie Nelson has confirmed the release of Last Leaf on the Tree, which will serve as his 153rd album. The new album will arrive on November 1st.
Nelson, now 91, shared his last studio album The Border back in May. For Last Leaf on the Tree, Nelson’s son Micah curated a list of songs for Willie to cover, including The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize??,” Beck’s “Lost Cause,” and Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” which serves as the album’s title track. There are also covers of songs by Warren Zevon, Nina Simone, Keith Richards, Sunny War, and more, plus a few originals.

“Last Leaf” originally appeared on Tom Waits’ 2011 album Bad as Me, and Nelson’s cover is just as poignant. Across blooming strings and a lonesome accordion, Nelson reflects on aging and a life of experiences with tenderness and patience. Take a listen to “Last Leaf” below.

Of all the performances at “Toby Keith: American Icon,” a tribute show held at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Monday night, the most surprising was an unexpected appearance by Keith himself — on the overhead video screens, filmed during what was described as his final recording session.
The emotional kicker came near the end of the all-star concert, as Keith was seen in a recording studio singing a cover of “Ships That Don’t Come In,” recorded in 1992 by Joe Diffie, who died of complications from Covid in 2020. The musical accompaniment was provided live by the tribute special’s house band as Keith, in studio headphones, sang the bittersweet chorus: “So here’s to all the soldiers / Who have ever died in vain / The insane locked up in themselves / And the homeless down on Main / To those who stand on empty shores / And spit against the wind /And those who wait forever...

For a guy who didn’t live in Nashville and bucked every Music Row norm he could, Toby Keith sure was loved by the country music community. That was apparent on Monday night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, where A-listers like Eric Church, Jelly Roll, Luke Bryan, Lainey Wilson, and Keith’s fellow Oklahoman Carrie Underwood gathered to perform his songs at a briskly-paced, but expertly-staged tribute concert. Dubbed Toby Keith: American Icon, the concert was recorded to air Aug. 28 on NBC.

Some of the most illustrious names in rock — and other genres — will pay tribute to Robbie Robertson in a celebratory concert at the L.A.-area Kia Forum on Oct. 17, with the musician’s longtime friend and collaborator Martin Scorsese among the executive producers.
The lineup for “Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson” includes some contemporaries who came up with the Band’s late songwriter-guitarist in the ’60s. These include Bobby Weir, Taj Mahal and three artists who appeared with Robertson in the Scorsese-directed 1986 concert documentary “The Last Waltz”: Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Mavis Staples.
It also includes some musical figures whose stars have risen in the last 15 years or so, like Eric Church, Allison Russell, Nathaniel Rateliff, Margo Price and — a current mainstay of the Billboard album chart’s top 10 — Noah Kahan.

In a tribute to Sin City, Orville Peck and Beck perform back-to-back on a roulette wheel and rope in Sharon Stone for a glitzy Casino callback in the music video for their duet “Death Valley High.”
The clip even opens with the words “Peck Beck” in lights, paying tribute to Elvis Presley’s ’68 comeback special. The song, which will appear on Peck’s upcoming Stampede album when it arrives next month, also bears a jaunty resemblance to Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas,” though the King could never rap like Beck.
