The summer season is nearly here and there’s a big wave of new albums released today, Friday, June 2, 2023 on the horizon. So get ready to surf the wave into the horizon.
Jelly Roll takes us to the “Whitsitt Chapel” offering a unique blend of country rap that resonates with raw emotion and compelling storytelling. Ben Harper returns with “Wide Open Light,” a testament to his unmistakable blend of blues, folk, soul, reggae, and rock.
