“It's a reflective folk song that leaves room for listeners to find their own meaning.”
String up something real: Ultimate Rick Jones' Bon Voyage takes a cruise gone dark, with an unhinged vocal from John Serrano that brings the narrator's shadowy holiday to vivid life. The Kintners' Some Folks is a quiet folk meditation on inherited damage and hard-won compassion — leaving room for listeners to find their own meaning. Zane Alexander's Shadows and Dust delivers a raw, Nebraska-spirited acoustic EP on love, loss, and war, while A Place That I Called Home captures grief and disillusionment unpolished and unfiltered. Villahermosa's Stay rounds things out with a breezy spring single built around the hope that someone — anyone — will remain.
