ROUTES & BRANCHES
featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music
July 5, 2026
Scott Foley, purveyor of dust
We find music that matters even in these music-desert weeks that seemingly offer so little by way of new stuff. We're still not certain what we'll do for Tuesday's post, but we'll figure something. Prob'ly. This week brings an unexpected debut (D) from Margo Price, as well as debuts from Angela Autumn's just-announced Believer, JP Harris, Yawpers, and several more. We've also found room for a couple things we had to trim down from last week's Episode. Please set them on repeat as your soundtrack for scrubbing down the backyard grill. Or what have you.
