Per Friday's message, we're throwing reason to the wind and upending/expanding our blogging schedule. Tuesday will feature If You Only Listen To One Album This Week, the record review that used to accompany our regular Sunday ROUTES-cast. This week's Episode includes our inaugural glimpse at new projects from Dogwood Tales, Taylor Hollingsworth, Elizabeth Cook, and more. We also feature artists that are new to us, such as the Dreggs, True Mountain Laurel, and Max Subar.
