featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music
January 5, 2025
Scott Foley, purveyor of dust
Our first Spotify ROUTES-cast for 2025 features a couple higher-profile singles alongside a few rising names. In scanning the horizons for novelty we also came across some stuff we'd overlooked, including a new song from Glass Hours, a full band version of a Lowest Pair cut, and an entire LP from Canada's terrific Joel Plaskett that we heard nothing about when it was released in September. Please tell us about these things.
We'll take advantage of the new year reset to remind y'all that the "D" following many songs indicates a ROUTES-cast Debut, a single from a project into which we're just beginning to wade. Following our playlist is a sampler and a link to our full Spotify playlist page, where your free subscription will net you access to our full complement of playlists, favorites lists, Lookback Machine Episodes, and additional nonsense.
You can always reach out to us with a comment or an email to routesandbranches@gmail.com. Especially in the event you realize we've overlooked something worthwhile like Joel Plaskett's record ...
