Review of the Soul-Jazz Collective, by Ed Conway. If it’s Tuesday, it must be Jazz Night at The Lark Street Tavern.

Unsatisfied with the direction of Nashville’s country music, singer/songwriter, and great guitarist, Dale Watson decided to brand his own music as Ameripolitan. In looking around, he quickly realized there was a lot of American Roots music not adequately […]
