Rock Era Magazine has added “Musician’s Story” –the newest single off Gypsy Outfit’s upcoming album 1969– to their weekly playlist.
“Musician’s Story”—a standout track from the band’s forthcoming debut album 1969—spins the tale of a vagabond kid raising himself as he travels the country alone searching for his place in the world. Anchored by shimmering Hammond B3 and some achingly beautiful slide-guitar work, it’s a modern roots-rock classic.
It was in Chicago that Michelle Billingsley caught the eye of legendary producer Brian Deck, who recorded and played drums and percussion on her debut album Not the Marrying Kind.
Michelle Billingsley is one of those artists who in a few notes transports us to another world, another continent and another era. We were seduced by this new single, Once in a While, which is for us a magnificent ballad with folk and Americana hues. In addition, the little duet on the choruses adds a kind of nostalgia and depth to the title.

The playlist features “melodies that will make you fall in love,” and is curated by Belgian singer Greesha.
Whether it’s your first time going on a hike since lockdown, or an anticipated camping trip, David Burchfield’s album State to State makes for a proper soundtrack to a mountain getaway. He combines elements of Americana, Country, and traditional Celtic to set the scene for a night around the campfire.
Burchfield utilizes acoustic guitars, fiddle, and percussive brushes for his Americana and western folk vibe and continues to set the mood by singing with a vocal quality that reminds the listener of Woody Guthrie.
Songs like the opening and title track “State to State” show that his folk style is his fluent language, but he isn’t afraid to change things up a little bit. Burchfield brings a harder edge with “Way It Goes,” reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” by using a more rock and electric sound. He also includes an instrumental, a cover of the old-time fiddle tune “Midnight on the Water.” READ MORE…
