Hank Williams Jr. Announces Dan Auerbach-Produced Album Rich White Honky Blues
Hank Williams Jr. has announced that his 57th studio album, Rich White Honky Blues, will be produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach. It drops June 17th via Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label. The 72-year old son of country music legend Hank Williams, Sr. also revealed the album’s opening number and first single “.44 Special Blues.” The spry solo track digs into the County Music Hall of Famer’s bluesy roots, with its vintage-style refrain, “Baby where’d you stay last night,” pairing perfectly to his well-worn wail. In a statement, Auerbach makes those same sonic connections, saying: “The first time I ever saw Hank Jr. on TV, I was a kid raised on Robert Johnson and Hank Williams, Sr. records, and those things came through so clearly watching him. So, I tried to assemble the rig...
The Killers Release Pressure Machine (Deluxe): Stream
The Killers have released the deluxe edition of their 2021 album Pressure Machine via Island Records/UMG. Stream it below on Apple Music and Spotify. First unveiled back in August, the band’s latest studio effort centers on the heartbreaking and intimate stories from Nephi, Utah, the small town on the Wasatch Front where lead singer Brandon Flowers was born and raised.

Dave Grohl Unleashes His Metal Album ‘Dream Widow’: Stream It Now
Grab a hose, because Dave Grohl is on fire right now. The Foo Fighters frontman and two-time Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee turns his creative energies into a new, considerably heavier project, Dream Widow. Dropping like a two-ton stone on Friday (March 25), Dream Widow is a companion to the Foos’ full-length feature film, Studio 666. It’s a throw-back to the heavy metal of old, dragged from the belly of the beasts that are Metallica and Motorhead, two of Grohl’s influences, with a touch of Ministry and Van Halen. Blending screamo, incendiary guitars and solos galore, the album, and its artwork, should be a wind-up for those who spend more time at church than rock concerts. “I can feel a black wind blowing,” Grohl sings on “Cold,” track 2 of 8, and a number that defines the mood.

‘Atlanta’ Season 3 Episodes 1 & 2 Recap: ‘Sinterklaas’
Donald Glover‘s Atlanta returned after a four-year hiatus that felt more like an eternity on Thursday night (March 24) with a two-episode debut of season three. “Three Slaps” is sure not to be exactly what a starving fanbase was expecting but isn’t that the beauty in a show that keeps viewers’ emotions on a spinning carousel? Outside of a late appearance from Earn (Donald Glover), none of the original cast is seen in the season premiere. Explore See latest videos, charts and news FX’s caption for the episode even had jokes, “Wow it’s been a minute.

‘Atlanta’ “Three Slaps” Episode Flips Tragic Devonte Hart Story
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Guy D’Alema / FX On Thursday (March 24) FX series Atlanta finally kicked off its highly-anticipated third season. But if you were waiting for the adventures of Ern, Paper Boi and crew in Europe you had to practice a bit more patience (the 2nd episode followed) as it was a bugged-out quasi-kidnapping story based on the real-life tragic case of Devonte Hart. SPOILER AHEAD. In the episode, titled “Three Slaps,” a young Black kid, Loquareeous, shows out in class by getting his dance only to be reprimanded to the principal’s office. There, the no joke, but actually involved Black mother (along with her son’s grandfather) isn’t happy she’s been once again called to the school for her son’s “disruptive” (dog whistle) behavior, telling them to just put him in det...

NIGO and Steven Victor’s Shared Vision and Energy Paved the Way for ‘I Know NIGO’
The dream team of NIGO and Steven Victor was always written in the stars. The fashion luminary and veteran record executive had built a solid friendship over the years, and it only seemed instinctive that the creative energy that reverberated between them would kickstart a working relationship. It was a dinner at NOBU Tokyo in 2018 that triggered the shift; Steven had flown to Japan to ask NIGO to design the logo of Victor Victor Worldwide, his record label that went on to become the home of the late Pop Smoke. The pair’s interest in each other’s work was instant. “As far as working with Steven,” NIGO states, “the switch was on.” But as is the case with many powerhouse collaborations, the duo shared an eagerness to pursue more than just their original plans. Victor and NIGO’s enthusiasm to...
