If you're going nowhere, I could use a ride.

“This was an opening ceremony for the ages: effortlessly chic, bewitching and divine. Milan simultaneously delivered a three-hour love letter to Italy, and a plea for hope and harmony in a fractious world.”
‘We are all connected’: Winter Olympics opening ceremony stresses harmony and showcases Italy
A stunning curtain-raiser was a fitting celebration of the host country and the Games – with wider messages never far from the surface

As with the finest country music, Appalachia foregrounds shared human experience as something that elevates all of us when we're actually open to giving a damn about someone whose life may not be exactly like ours.
It isn't just a brilliant record in a technical sense; it's a vital, important one.

Each of the songs here scans quite deliberately as a powerful rebuttal to the ongoing and increasingly vocal attacks on empathy. The characters she's written about here are, to a one, given a story of struggle and resilience, and Robinson's performances convey why those stories *matter* to her.

Seriously, if there are going to be better albums than this one in 2026, it's shaping up to be an incredible year.
ESR, Appalachia (*****): Have we already heard the finest album of 2026? Setting aside that this is the best singing Robinson's ever done-- which says an awful lot on its own-- and that her writing here is a refinement of her already superlative understanding of form and structure, this album stuns.

“There’s this thing I do with every record I make,” she says. “I knit a prayer into it, and I ask for all these songs to find their way to everyone who needs them.”
Thank you, Emily Scott Robinson, this album has found its way to me.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

New Music Friday! First one of '26, and it's a good one. The debut album from Mon Rovîa is a beautiful, tragic travelogue from his childhood in war-ravaged Liberia to an America equally full of promise and failings. Listen to "Heavyfoot" below, and read my review on Americana Highways. #listenbetter

Haven't watched enough new shows to make a list, but I'll say “North of North” and “Pluribus” are the ones I enjoyed the most in 2025. #NorthOfNorth #Pluribus
