Rolling Stone debuts its new podcast Nashville Now, a weekly audio and video production recorded in Nashville that dissects all things country: from the latest news and must-hear songs to the cultural and political issues that are defining the genre today.

The first episode looks at Willie Nelson’s subtle but clear message of support for immigrants this summer: The country music legend has been showing his 1986 music video for “Living in the Promiseland,” a clip structured around images of immigrants arriving in the U.S., before his headlining performance...

For anyone who saw A Complete Unknown and wondered how close it resembled the actual Newport Folk Festival where Bob Dylan amped up his music, a new documentary will help answer that question.

Among the many films just announced as part of the annual Venice Film Festival in September is Newport & the Great Folk Dream, which documents the legendary (and ongoing) festival in the pivotal folk-to-rock years between 1963 and 1966. The doc includes footage of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band — some of it from the same...

In the spring of 1965, Bob Dylan stood in an alley by London’s Savoy Hotel and practically invented the music video by flipping through cue cards displaying words from “Subterranean Homesick Blues” while the song played. Fifty years later, Margo Price is paying homage to the historic clip in the video for her new single “Don’t Wake Me Up” from her upcoming album Hard Headed Woman.

Price takes the “Don’t Wake Me Up” cue cards on a journey to a bowling alley parking lot, a lush field, a dive bar,...

Margo Price is back with a brand new single, “Don’t Wake Me Up,” as well as a slate of nearly two dozen dates on her freshly announced “Wild at Heart Tour.”

Price has teamed up with Jesse Welles on the new single, the second song revealed from her forthcoming album, Hard Headed Woman, which is set for release on August 29th via Loma Vista Recordings. The song comes with a fun and free-spirited new Hannah Gray Hall-directed music video that pays tribute to Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” Watch it below.

“This song began as a poem a few years ago and was initially inspired by poet Frank Stanford,” Price explained in a press statement. “My husband and co-writer, Jeremy Ivey, found the idea I had scribbled from my abandoned notebook, and we resurrected it with a melody. The whole thing came...

One night near the tail end of 2021, I received a text from Dillon Warnek. I didn’t recognize the number, a Washington state area code, or the name, but he said he was a songwriter here in Nashville with a record coming out, and that Margo Price and Jeremy Ivey played on it.

“I only bring that up so that you know that I at least have other crazy people vouching for my craziness,” Dillon wrote.

I appreciated the hustle, and the postscript of his text — that he was really...

Margo Price is celebrating her deep roots in country music on her upcoming album. On Tuesday, the musician announced that Hard Headed Woman, her fifth studio album, is out Aug. 29.

The musician made the LP — her first album in Nashville — at RCA Studio A alongside producer Matt Ross-Spang. The record features Jesse Welles on “Don’t Wake Me Up” and Tyler Childers on “Love Me Like You Used to Do,” along with the single “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down,” which dropped Tuesday with an accompanying music video.

Margo Price is set to return with a brand new album. It’s called Hard Headed Woman and arrives August 29th via Loma Vista Recordings. To accompany the record’s announcement, the country singer-songwriter also shared the new song “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down.” Stream it below.

The new set follows Price’s celebrated 2023 release Strays and finds the artist reuniting with producer Matt Ross-Spang. Featuring duets with the likes of Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, Hard Headed Woman serves as the first full-length album Price cut in Nashville, where she’s resided for over 20 years. As a result, she bills the project as “a manifesto, a tribute to both a city and a genre, a defiant cry for individuality, and a deep exploration of America.”

Talking with Rolling Stone last year, Robert Randolph recalled the unusual complaint he received when he was working on a new album in LA. Apparently, the bass amplifier he and producer Shooter Jennings had placed in a hallway was too loud, and a couple of people in the building — T Bone Burnett and Robbie Robertson — told a receptionist it was too loud. As Randolph said, Robertson walked into the studio and said, “Oh, that’s you down here? You guys are getting funky in here.”

Robertson, who passed away last year,...

“Everybody’s just in the best mood and it gets better and better throughout the day,” I overheard a fan say Thursday afternoon at the 2025 Luck Reunion. His observation was spot-on. For its 13th year, the boutique festival held on Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch in Spicewood, Texas — just outside of Austin, as the song goes — proved to be unlike any music fest on earth.

With stages set up in and around the Old West buildings that dot the grounds, a movie set where Nelson filmed his 1984 Western Red Headed Stranger,...

Magnolia Pictures has acquired North American rights to “Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted,” a documentary about singer, songwriter and record producer Jerry Williams, aka Swamp Dogg, following the film’s world premiere at SXSW. The movie, which examines one of the major cult figures of 20th-century American music, was directed by Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson. It will be released in theaters on May 2.

Swamp Dogg’s voice and ideas had a profound influence on soul music, country, hip-hop and a dozen other genres. The film follows Swamp Dogg and his “bachelor pad of aging musicians”, a group that includes the disarming Guitar Shorty and the quirky Moogstar, as they navigate the music industry, transform their home into an artistic playground and invite fellow musicians like Jenny Lewis and John Prine and superfans Mike Judge, Johnny Knoxville and Tom Kenny to play in their unique musical sandbox. The group,...

In a video posted to Instagram on Friday, the “Soak Up the Sun” singer waved goodbye to her Tesla as it was being towed away. In the caption, she explained that she had sold the vehicle, and donated the money to National Public Radio, which she said is “under threat by President Musk.”

Monica Barbaro’s Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown has introduced an entirely new generation of fans to the folk icon, even though Baez retired from the road following a 2019 farewell tour and rarely performs live these days.

The roster for the show included Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Roseanne Cash,...

At last night’s Grammy Awards, Kendrick Lamar took home the most trophies of the night – five in total.

The American South is a hot mess of cultural contradictions, and while those contradictions have stoked the dumpster fire of U.S. politics for a couple of centuries, they also happen to be fueling some of the best music being made right now. And to be sure, the story of rock in 2024 is largely a story of Southern rock, in both classic-rock and indie-rock denominations.

On two of the year’s best records, Tigers Blood and Manning Fireworks, Katie “Waxahatchee” Crutchfield (Alabama) and Jake “Mj” Lenderman (North Carolina), respectively, made...

Hallmark+’s The Chicken Sisters follows two warring mom and pop friend chicken restaurants: Mimi’s and Frannie’s. The feud between the restaurants arose long ago when the founders of each had a falling out.

In present-day fictional Merinac, modeled after the setting of Kj Dell’Anotnia’s book of the same name, complications have further arisen between the two single women who continue to run the restaurants, passed down to them from their ancestors. A reality food network-like show comes to town to capture the dueling dynasties, and secrets are unearthed as tensions arise.

The series contains several recognizable artists and a whole bunch of songs that fit the atmosphere of the show. Find a complete soundtrack list — put together by music supervisor Angela Asistio — including songs from Boygenius, Linda Ronstadt, The Lumineers, Wild Rivers and more.

With less than three weeks until Election Day, Willie Nelson is lighting one up for Vice President Kamala Harris.

On Saturday, the 15x Grammy winner announced a community Zoom call “emphasizing the importance of cannabis reform in America,” in support of the Democratic nominee and running mate Tim Walz, which he’ll host virtually with wife Annie D’Angelo on Oct. 24 at 7pm from his Luck Ranch in Texas.

“I’m excited to bring together such an amazing group of people to talk about something we all care about deeply,” said Nelson in a statement. “Cannabis is a path to healing, opportunity, and justice, and supporting leaders like Kamala Harris who understand that is crucial to putting an end to the federal prohibition and undoing the harms it caused to so many, particularly to communities of color where it has been disproportionately enforced.”

Nelson’s virtual smoking circle will also include Whoopi Goldberg,...

“We love you, Robbie!” Mavis Staples exclaimed. “We love you!”

Late Thursday night in Los Angeles, a few minutes shy of midnight, the soul-stirring vocalist had the crowd at the Forum on their feet. Staples had just performed “The Weight” onstage with Bob Weir, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, and an all-star band for Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson, a tribute show — produced by moment-makers Blackbird Presents — that honored the Band’s guitarist, collaborator of Bob Dylan, and songwriter who...

It’s one last waltz for Robbie and Marty.

Variety reports that Martin Scorsese is directing the filming of a tribute concert dedicated to his late friend and collaborator Robbie Robertson for a concert film. The Blackbird Presents (Outlaw Music Festival)-produced concert, called “Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson,” will take place Thursday at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Plans for the release of the future film have not been set.

Robertson, the legendary musician and songwriter best known for his work with the legendary roots rock outfit The Band, died in 2023 at age 80. His relationship with Scorsese went back to the 1970s, when Scorsese directed “The Last Waltz,” the 1978 star-studded concert film commemorating The Band’s final performance. Robertson then worked as a composer, music supervisor, or consultant on many of Scorsese’s films, including “Raging Bull,” “The Color of Money,” “Casino,” and “The Irishman.

Martin Scorsese will serve as director the Thursday night’s all-star tribute to Robbie Robertson at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, which will be turned into a concert film for future release.

Announced in July, Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson is set to feature artists including Trey Anastasio, Elvis Costello, Warren Haynes, Eric Church, Jim James, Margo Price, Bob Weir, and Noah Kahan, as well as The Last Waltz vets like Eric Clapton and Van Morrison.

Scorsese was initially on board as an executive producer of the tribute concert,...

Martin Scorsese will direct the filming of a Robbie Robertson tribute concert in L.A. Thursday night for a future release, it was announced Tuesday morning.

The filming of “Life Is A Carnival: A Musical Celebration Of Robbie Robertson,” a Blackbird Presents production, may provide a kind of bookend to the the first movie Scorsese did with Robertson, when he directed the concert film “The Last Waltz,” which commemorated the last concert the singer-songwriter-guitarist did with his group the Band in 1976.

Prior to the announcement that he would spend the evening overseeing the filming, Scorsese was already serving as one of the executive producers of the concert, along with Jared Levine, Keith Wortman and Scooter Weintraub.

The lineup of artists performing at the show at the Kia Forum Thursday includes Trey Anastasio, Eric Church, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Bruce Hornsby, Jim James, Daniel Lanois, Taj Mahal, Van Morrison, Margo Price,...

Update: YouTube and Sesac have come to terms on a new deal. “Content (that was previously blocked) will be restored across YouTube services over the next day or two,” YouTube said in a statement on Monday night.

Hundreds of classic music videos and songs by Nirvana, Adele, Bob Dylan, Kendrick Lamar, Green Day, and hundreds more are currently unavailable on YouTube amid a copyright dispute between the video platform and the performance rights organization, Sesac.

A YouTube spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday, that the site and Sesac were “unable to reach an equitable agreement” before the expiration of their copyright deal.

“We take copyright very seriously and as a result, content represented by Sesac is no longer available on YouTube in the US,” the spokesperson said. “We are in active conversations with Sesac and are hoping to reach a new deal as soon as possible.”

With that, the...

Songs by Adele, Kendrick Lamar, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Green Day and Mariah Carey, among others, are returning to YouTube after a contract dispute between the platform and Sesac, a performing rights organization, was resolved.

A YouTube spokesperson shared in a statement with The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, “We’re pleased that Sesac reconsidered our offer. We’ve reached a deal and content will come back up shortly. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this time.”

Earlier, some songs by several artists were met with this message when attempting to be played: “This video contains content from Sesac. It is not available in your country.”

Sesac in the U.S. collects royalties and helps protect copyrights on behalf of songwriters and publishers. On the organization’s website, it said, “Sesac currently licenses the public performance of more than 1.5 million songs on behalf of its 15,000+ affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers, which...

It’s been wild to watch the rise of William Apostol, a.k.a. Billy Strings, a bluegrass prodigy turned crossover star like fellow genre travelers Alison Krauss and Chris Stapleton — but one who’s found a home in Jambandlandia, where his super-sick flatpicking guitar virtuosity has met with big fat dancing bear-hugs. Leaning into long instrumental journeys onstage (see last year’s 38-minute single, an epic live sequence of “Meet Me at the Creek” > “Pyramid Country” > “Must Be Seven” > “Meet Me at the Creek”), Strings’ original songs have proved solid jam vehicles.

In a food landscape largely controlled by corporations, Farm Aid 2024 showcased farmers who are creating community-based food systems that improve food access and quality, boost farmer income and local economies, and promote healthier soil and water.

At the sold-out event at Broadview Stage at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a diverse group of farmers and food producers shared the ways they work in their communities to develop a more democratic farm and food system that is healthy, safe, equitable and accessible. What they say they need is more support from our country’s eaters, as well as from our elected representatives in local, state and federal government.

Farm Aid's leadership and artist board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Margo Price highlighted the resilience and generosity of these producers, calling on the country to harness our collective strength to counter corporate dominance in our food system.

Willie Nelson and Margo Price encouraged their fans in Texas and Tennessee to register to vote and cast a ballot in favor of the states’ respective Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate. In Texas, Colin Allred is trying to unseat Republican Ted Cruz, while Gloria Johnson — one of the Tennessee Three — is challenging Republican Marsha Blackburn.

In a video filmed around a table on Nelson’s tour bus, the country songwriters endorse Allred and Johnson in a short speech. “I know we’re all talking about the presidential race, and that’s important,...

Three months after calling off his summer tour with Crazy Horse due to an unspecific illness in the band, Neil Young returned to the concert stage Saturday evening at Farm Aid in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was backed by his new group the Chrome Hearts, which features organist Spooner Oldham, guitarist Micah Nelson, and the Promise of the Real rhythm section, bassist Corey McCormick and drummer Anthony LoGerfo.

Their abbreviated set kicked off with a trio of songs from Harvest Moon: “From Hank to Hendrix,” “Harvest Moon,” and “Unknown Legend.

Margo Price has linked up with Billy Strings for a brand new song, “Too Stoned to Cry.” Stream the collaboration below.

Boasting vocal performances from both Price and Strings, “Too Stoned to Cry” is a twangy, tear-in-your-beer country ballad about, well, being too high to properly express your emotions. “I ain’t happy, I’m just too stoned to cry,” they sing over lap steel guitar, plotting drums, piano, and String’s characteristically bluegrass-tinged guitar playing.

“Billy has persevered a lot in his short life, and his story and dedication to the craft inspires me deeply,” Price wrote. “I may be biased, but I think this song shows how multi-talented Billy is as a player and a vocalist. His voice and delivery on this track absolutely blew me away and showcase his ability to sing and play country music with the best of them.”

To accompany the song,...

Margo Price marks her return to country music on “Too Stoned to Cry,” a stunning ballad featuring Billy Strings.

The track features the two musicians trading lines, supported by Russ Pahl’s gorgeous pedal steel.
