James McMurtry and the Martial Law Review
James McMurtry released The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy on June 20th via New West Records. The 10-song collection was co-produced by McMurtry & Don Dixon (R.E.M., The Smithereens) and is his first album in four years. It follows his 2021 acclaimed new West debut, The Horses and the Hounds, which UnCut Magazine said “lifts storytelling-in-song to meticulous new levels” and Pitchfork awarded an 8.0, saying “James McMurtry stands out even among the Lone Star State’s finest songwriters…” The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy features appearances by Sarah Jarosz, Charlie Sexton, Bonnie Whitmore, Bukka Allen and more, alongside his trusted backing band, THE MARTIAL LAW REVIEW, Tim Holt on guitar and accordion, Cornbread on bass and Daren Hess on drums. As varied as they are, McMurtry’s new story-songs find inspiration in scraps from his family’s past: a rough pencil sketch by Ken Kesey that serves as the album cover, the hallucinations experienced by his father, the legendary writer Larry McMurtry, an old poem by a family friend. A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller, McMurtry teases vivid worlds out of small details, setting them to arrangements that have elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a general category. Funny and sad often in the same breath, The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy adds a new chapter to a long career that has young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formative influence.
Colby Acuff – Handmade Horsepower Tour
A fifth-generation Idahoan, Acuff grew up watching his hometown Coeur d’Alene transform before his eyes. One by one, the lumber mills closed down as a blue-collar town turned into a ritzy resort escape for elites from around the country. Acuff’s childhood was full of music — Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, bluegrass — that situated all the changes he witnessed in a long lineage of working-class American struggle, and soundtracked the nostalgia felt by watching a way of life become bygone. By the time Acuff released his 2020 debut Life Of A Rolling Stone, his perspective and concerns as an artist were already fully-formed. He’d make two more albums while living in Idaho, 2021’s If I Were The Devil and 2022’s Honky Tonk Heaven before moving to Nashville to record 2023’s Western White Pines and 2024’s American Son with producer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan and Brandi Carlile). After the release of American Son, Acuff sat down with his right-hand man, producer Eddie Spear, and they puzzled over a new approach to the next project. They decided to go out and talk to people, take the temperature, see what listeners wanted to hear. The resulting work still boasts the thoughtful reflections on American life that Acuff has made his name on, but refuses to simply stare into the void. Instead, the throughlines of the project became resilience and optimism even in the bleakest times. Having toured with the likes of Luke Combs, Charles Wesley Godwin, 49 Winchester, Midland, Whiskey Myers, Flatland Cavalry, Jon Pardi, Muscadine Bloodline and more, Acuff is embarking on the Handmade Horsepower headline tour in 2026 playing shows all across the country.
