Miranda Lambert on Her New Label, Republic, Setting a Fire With ‘Wranglers,’ and Returning to Recording in Texas: ‘I Just Feel Like, Finally, I’m Home’

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When people think of country superstar Miranda Lambert, one of the things that first comes to mind is pyro — not because she has that huge a penchant for setting things off on stage (though it happens), but because of lyrical connotations going back to her first platinum single, “Kerosene.” When it comes to her own career, though, things have consistently gone too well to ever need to go into burn-it-all-down mode. As she’s subtle changed approach from album to album and single to single, Lambert has been all about controlled burns.

Producer Frank Marshall on Resurrecting a Lost Album by Jazz Greats Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon, 52 Years After It Was Recorded

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Lost, completed studio albums by revered trumpet player and jazz vocalist Chet Baker don’t pop up every year.

Dead & Company at Sphere, Night 2: What Was the Same, What Was Different

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic About 18,000 more faces were stolen Friday night at Sphere in Las Vegas, as Dead & Company played the second of 24 shows scheduled for the technologically ground-breaking venue. As is customary with any outfit associated with the Grateful Dead, it’s assumed that no two shows will be the same, and many fans have naturally purchased tickets for multiple nights of the residency.

Billie Eilish Remains on a Roll With the Constantly Surprising and Affecting ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’: Album Review

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic What a great season for music this is, if you’re someone who has an old-fashioned thing for albums that really feel like albums.

Reba McEntire Says ‘Let It Rip!’ to Hosting the ACM Awards, New Music With Dave Cobb and Her ‘Happy’s Place’ Sitcom

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Is Reba McEntire running a little behind Bob Hope, as an awards-show-hosting perennial… or actually a little bit ahead? It depends how you count. Because this year marks her 17th year hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards, aka the ACMs, and Hope did the Oscars 19 times, so she’s still two years from matching his record, if we compare these gigs. However, McEntire has also hosted a rival program, the CMA Awards, five times over the years.

Megan Moroney, Nate Smith, Tigerlily Gold Named Early Winners in ACM Awards’ New Artist Categories

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic With a performance-heavy show in the offing, the Academy of Country Music Awards got three awards out of the way two nights early Tuesday evening, giving out the awards in three separate categories the show has delineated for best new artists to Megan Moroney, Nate Smith and the duo Tigerlily. Perhaps the least surprising honoree the ACM Awards will have this year is the winner for new female artist of the year: Moroney. It’s fair to say that her four competitors didn’t stand a chance.

Bev Paul, Exec Who Helped Turn Sugar Hill Records Into an Iconic Roots Music Brand, Dies

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Bev Paul, who oversaw the Sugar Hill Records label as general manager as it became a staple of the modern roots music movement, died April 19 in Durham, North Carolina after a battle with lung cancer. Paul served as Sugar Hill’s GM through the 1990s and, after a brief stint in management, again in the 2000s. The label won more than a dozen Grammys in the bluegrass, country and folk fields, including honors for artists like Nickel Creek, Dolly Parton, Jerry Douglas and Tim O’Brien that recorded for the company under her watch.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Ringo’s rotogravure is back, as it were, with a new EP, “Crooked Boy,” that will delight fans who’ve wanted a real rock record that was as steady as his backbeat. Linda Perry wrote and produced all four songs for this, the latest in a series of EPs that Ringo Starr began recording during the pandemic and is keeping on with well into the 2020s.

‘Let It Be’ Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg on His Beatles Documentary Finally Shedding Its ‘Orphan’ Status: ‘You Don’t Always Get the Second Chance in Life’

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg is having a bit of a “hail the conquering hero” moment that very few people would have expected him to be having this far into the 21st century, least of all himself. Although he has had many successes in film and in the theater over the last 60 years or so, he remains most famous as the director of the Beatles documentary “Let It Be” — and that 1970 film remains most famous as something that has been kept locked in the vault since it got a brief VHS and laserdisc release in the early 1980s.

Hozier has never been about chasing the hit, but he’s got one regardless, as the Irish singer-songwriter’s “Unheard” EP quickly generated the first No. 1 Hot 100 single of his career, in the form of “Too Sweet,” a wry ballad about mismatched lovers.
