Review

It’s been a few months since we last covered an Autumn Nicholas single, and “Listening” continues their trend of starting out extraordinary and somehow getting better with every new offering. Both of today’s entries are just flat-out gorgeous: The lush backing by SistaStrings on this is the perfect compliment to the warmth of Nicholas’ vocal timbre, as their voice glides above the gentle piano and string arrangement.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
