Devon Gilfillian has been putting his own spin on Americana music since moving to Nashville from Philadelphia back in 2013. He pushes the boundaries even further on his forthcoming album Time Will Tell, which he recorded at historic RCA Studio A on Music Row. But, Gilfillian says, this is far from a Music Row-type album. During his visit to the Nashville Now cabin, the singer-guitarist talks about sidestepping the system as an indie artist, how Sturgill Simpson’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music influenced his career, and why things have or haven’t changed for Black artists making their art in Music City. Get to know one of American roots music’s most dynamic voices on this episode of Rolling Stone’s all-things-Nashville podcast.

United States
the in memoriam segment was so distasteful
Conspiracies? Show us your sources, why don't you? Fringe huh? Are you claiming the theories he mentioned are absolutely baseless? Syria, the nazi kill list, the U.S. backed coup in Ukraine, the U.S. sabotaging the peace deal ukraine and russia negotiated earlier this year? Are you sure about that? A few other things... Roger Waters wasnt gish-galloping. Either you straight lied or you don't know what gish-galloping really is... smh. Criticizing the israel governments doesnt make someone antisemitic. Your bit about Roger occasionaly saying "the ukraine" instead of "Ukraine," damn, that was weird as fuck, man. You are grasping at straws. Mr. Ball.. you're an unimpressive journalist and a credulous purveyor of state propaganda. Also, you seem to have an exaggerated estimation of your intelligence and critical thinking skills... and youre quite a smug arse as well arent ya?! An arrogant idiot. smh. the worst.
love blackpink girls 💟
Finally the Beatles.
cool! Aja
Libya Libya Libya A war was all around Libya I think that's why "Let it Be" doc reflected his anger in not going to Libya..or anywhere else. I found the doc on archive.org 🤓😎🤓
Eric Clapton is an walking enigma. The man's stance along with Van Morrison on the public lockdown and vaccine mandate in The United Kingdom is confusing to say the least You would think he would want the best for his fan base when it comes to attending his live performances. I understand it is a matter of personal choice whether you cooperate with various local and government agencies mandates on attending large gatherings such as concerts. I have personally went along with these mandates in my home state of Oregon because it's the right thing to do to protect not only yourself but others as well to be able to see live music finally after a nearly two year absence of live shows. As far as his infamous 1976 performance meltdown, the only person who really knows the truth about what he said that day and if he truly feels that way is himself and over the years it's obvious he never will come clean about the subject.
Chester bennington's name should not be mentioned in the same sentence or podcast as Iggy Pop siryou're a journalist??

The Life and Music of Little Richard
Relatory isn't a word. I swear they let anyone be a "journalist" nowadays. 6th Grade English...study it.
Rest in peace - one of the best pop songwriters of his generation. 😞
Nothing wrong with Thin Lizzy
I wish they would pronounce Zack's last name correctly he's Chicano not Italian.
