Review

Joy Oladokun and Shaboozey lead another solid week of releases. Joy's “I’d Miss the Birds” is indicative of everything she does so very well on her latest album. And in "Highway" Shaboozey confronts a paradox of modern manhood: he knows his partner is better off alone, but he can’t live without her. To be the man that she needs, he has to leave.

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.
