Americana UK’s Ian Rothery caught up with Waylon Payne via Zoom at his home in Nashville on one of the few days of the year when it might actually have been hotter in the UK than in Tennessee. Payne has just released his third album, Wayward, and the fact that it’s only his third in a 22-year recording career is a story in itself. Payne comes across as relaxed and affable. He’s clearly enjoying having a new record out, and he was very happy to discuss the making of this album and also talk about his not-so-easy journey to where…

Rather than relying solely on nostalgia,…
Chat Pile have dropped a new single, Same Rules, which they say was the result of a challenge to write a trip-hop song that they purportedly failed. Explaining that their new song is “the first real Chat Pile song mostly recorded on 4-track cassette”, bassist Stin says: “[Vocalist] Ray B. had given us the challenge to write a trip-hop song, and this is what we came up with. Unfortunately, he’s rejected Same Rules from the challenge as he claims it’s not trip-hop at all, and that we have to try again. Perhaps we’ll get it right next time.” Ray B.…

In a brand new interview, Amanda Palmer opens up on the significance of The Dresden Dolls in 2026, whether she thinks about her legacy as an artist, and the importance of ‘Yes, Virginia…(Tailor’s Version)’… Photo Credit: Pixie Vision Photography What does it mean to you on an emotional level to have Yes, Virginia…(Tailor’s Version) coming out into the world?

It’s no secret that americana music in all its colorful variations has been prevalent and in vogue for years now as countless bands and singer/songwriters from the last two decades have found success filtering their music through distinctly alt-country lenses. Still to this day, you can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting a band with one or more of these elements: raw storytelling, organic instruments, gritty rhythms and sincere emotion over pop or rock bombast.
