After previewing the arrival of a new song earlier this week, Bryan Sutton and Billy Strings’ latest effort has culminated in “The Devil Went Down to Deep Gap,” a collision of acoustic and electric guitar and a brash departure from the duets that make up Sutton’s ongoing From Roots to Branches series. Today’s release builds on the Charlie Daniels Band’s original, creating a fictional narrative that shifts the instrumental focus from fiddle to guitar in a massive face-off, telling the story of Arthel Watson’s takedown of Lucifer, and an act that earned him the name “Doc.”

Rhett Miller is taking in a beautiful, mid-September Sunday morning at his home in New York’s Hudson Valley. It’s a sunny time for the veteran singer-songwriter and guitarist, just a few weeks out from the release of his 10th solo album, A lifetime of riding by night, and a corresponding tour in support. Yet, Miller is also just two years removed from one of the darkest and most fretful periods of his nearly four-decade career when, literally, he was losing his voice.

RECAP
Last night, Jeff Tweedy concluded his time in Los Angeles, adding a period to a sentence that spanned four live performances at Largo at the Coronet. The evocative wordsmith’s residency was billed as a solo run tied to his latest studio work, the triple album Twilight Override. Like previous shows tied to this residency, the impetus of the experience was the arrival of Tweedy’s sons and collaborators, Spencer and Sammy, who expanded their stage time by sitting in on nearly half of the set.

It’s nearly impossible to imagine now, but there really was a time—beginning in the mid-‘60s and lasting not nearly long enough—when it seemed that every city harboring a significant population of groovy young people (OK, let’s call them hippies) housed at least one club-sized space where major rock bands, or those about to be, blew minds on a nightly basis.
