Matt Mullins & The Bringdowns have released their full length album “Learn From Letting Go.” The singles, like “Rust” that led up to the release, let us know we were in for a spectacular collection of tracks and we were not let down. The story telling from Mullins is always top notch and that is true on these ten tracks. There is a duet on this album that really stops you in your tracks and makes you pay attention. “The Wedding Song” is a collab between the band and Briana Atwell. The vocal juxtaposition here is beautiful and will leave you wanting to hear more of this team up. Listen to it below.

West Virginia Music Hall Of Fame inductee, Tim O’Brien and Jan Fabricius have released a full length collection of fifteen folk tracks that take you on a storytelling journey of life and all of the ups and downs that go along with it. From the joy of walking a daughter down the aisle, fun with puppies and the irresistible love for them, to the devastation of losing a child in a mass shooting, O’Brien and Fabricus will leave you feeling every emotion possible on “Paper Flowers.” Listen to the tear jerker “Covenant” below .
One You May Have Missed: Charles Wesley Godwin has snuck over to duet on Jesse Daniel’s newest album “Son of the San Lorenzo” on the track Time Well Spent For A Man. While the single has been out for over a month the album came out this past weekend. This country western song makes you feel like you’re in a dusty California desert town thinking about love and life and how you spend your days and what matters at the end of them. Listen to the duet below.
