ROUTES & BRANCHES
featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music
April 20, 2025
Scott Foley, purveyor of dust
Of course, our intentions are pure, even if we struggle (re: fail) to publish a review every week. Will this spotty record improve going forward? No, likely not. Nevertheless, we'll continue to float our weekly Spotify ROUTES-cast every Sunday, populated with precisely thirty (30) new tracks. We also forge ahead with A Routes & Branches Guide To Feeding Your Monster, our prudently updated new release calendar. Just recently we've added new stuff from artists like Foxwarren, Pine Hill Haints, Murder By Death, Gasoline Lollipops, James McMurtry, Vandoliers, Willi Carlisle, Brent Cobb and so many more.
