JUNO Award-winning duo The Bros. Landreth deliver soul-stirring lyrics, mesmerizing musicianship and heavenly blood harmonies on its “polished and profound” (American Songwriter) new album ‘Come Morning,’ out today, May 13. ‘Come Morning’ is cathartic, transformative, and Joey and Dave Landreth’s most vulnerable record to date. Across 10 tracks, the brothers confront past demons from abuse and addiction, challenge ideas of toxic masculinity, process heartbreaking loss and seek to change a cycle of toxic family narratives.

Blues-rock band Ghost Hounds released their new blues album, You Broke Me, via Maple House Records. Written and produced by guitarist Thomas Tull and songwriter, producer Kevin Bowe (Etta James, Paul Westerberg and the Replacements), the 9-track album is raw yet polished, making listeners feel as though they were in the room while it was being recorded.

On June 3, Cumbancha releases the album Mista Savona Presents Havana Meets Kingston Part 2 featuring an all-star lineup of musicians from Cuba and Jamaica. An epic set of 15 tracks, Havana Meets Kingston Part 2 unites the deep roots grooves of reggae, dancehall and rocksteady with the scorching soul of Cuban son, timba and salsa.
 

Havana-born pianist Robert Fonseca released Yesun, his ninth solo album, on 18 October.

“Yesun is the album I’ve always wanted to make,” says Fonseca of a record that combines everything from jazz and classical music to rap, funk, reggaeton and electronica, ripping up the rulebook along the way. “All my influences are here. All the sounds and vibes that make me who I am.”

This album is a soundtrack of Sudan’s revolution.

In late 2021, Ostinato Records returned to Khartoum, Sudan shortly after a November military coup and country-wide protests to capture the sound of an ongoing, inspiring democratic revolution that began in 2019.

Releasing his first singles for Mountain Home Music Company; appearing on David Holt’s State Of Music series on PBS; signing with boutique booking agency Prater Day; earning coverage in publications such as The Bluegrass Situation, No Depression and Folk Alley; being interviewed by roots music authority Rhiannon Giddens for a BBC radio documentary, and graduating from college — all recent signposts along the way in the emergence of Tray Wellington.
