Owing to a current vacation, we haven't pointed at A Routes & Branches Guide To Feeding Your Monster in about two weeks. Of course, stuff has added up over that time - we'll mention just five. Kelsey Waldon's fifth record finds inspiration in old time songs and bluegrass music. With guest spots from SG Goodman, Amanda Shires, Margo Price and more, There's Always a Song bows in on May 10 (Oh Boy). Avett Brothers' last full-length dropped in 2019. Following last year's Americana Trailblazer award, they will present a self-titled collection on their longtime Ramseur label on May 17. Kim Richey announced a date for her tenth project. Courtesy of Yep Roc Records, Every New Beginning is slated for a May 24 release. Expect Margo Price, Justin Vernon, Jenny Lewis and more on Swamp Dogg's next sonic experiment. Blackgrass: From West Virginia To 125th Street celebrates the Black roots of the bluegrass genre (Oh Boy, May 31). Richard Thompson published a memoir since his last LP in 2013. The guitar legend returns on May 31 with Ship To Shore (New West).
