When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in 2014, his debut immediately differentiated itself as an authentic and unflinching missive from his river town where the Midwest meets the South. Jeremy’s songs are startlingly candid stories of bruised folks looking for a little grace. His 2017 album, Ties of Blood and Affection finds Pinnell taking comfort in family, faith, and responsibility, as the singer achieves the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs. His third album, 2021’s Goodbye LA, expands Pinnell’s homegrown sound with timeless country elements: pedal steel, Telecaster twang, and gospel organ wrap themselves around JP’s oaken identity, the devastating centerpiece of his work. Careworn but hopeful, Jeremy’s voice can touch on wry, jubilant, and debauched— often in a single line. In support of Goodbye LA, Kentucky’s wandering son found himself in all sorts of rooms. In 2023, he won Ameripolitan’s Honky Tonk Male Award in Memphis and signed with Space Colonel Management. In that same year, he released the Live AF EP and videos and was chosen to headline an electrifying showcase for esteemed label Western AF. In 2024, Jeremy signed with Warner Chappell Music Publishing and has continued to tour the country. Over three albums and a clutch of EPs, JP has solidified his role as a master songwriter of depth and clarity. At his best, Pinnell chronicles the joy and sorrow of being human, which is the best that anyone could do.
"Kentuckian Jeremy Pinnell hits all the country-tune sweet spots. His voice is strong and a little mournful -- you can feel his ache seep through the speakers as you listen -- and the rhythm section shuffles along gently. Weepy pedal steel licks feel just right as Pinnell sings a regretful refrain of ‘I did it again,’ a familiar sentiment for any of us who've ever done a little backsliding.”

On Dawn in the Distance, Wells’ voice still packs a Kentucky-sized punch, but his solo debut takes a look beyond the Southern stomp of his former band. Call the new sound Americana. Call it blue-collar country. Call it fiery folk. While recording the album, Wells was simply concerned with serving the songs, teaming up with producer Duane Lundy (Sunday Valley, Joe Pug, Vandaveer) and creating Wells’ most affecting album to date. Songs like “Going Down Grinnin’” (which Wells describes as “embracing failure with a smile”) and “Three Quarters Gone” (inspired by the retirement of the singer’s father) are layered with pedal steel guitar, auxiliary percussion, and keys.
On the album’s front cover, a beat-up suitcase sits beside a door. For years, that suitcase carried Fifth on the Floor’s merchandise. Now, it serves a different purpose, connecting Wells’ past with his next destination. He’s still traveling, still writing songs, still spending long evenings behind the wheel. He’s just pointed at a different horizon.

Adam Lee’s newest release, The Wilderness Years, tells stories of struggle, frustration, and eventual perseverance. Recorded at The Lexington Recording Co. with Duane Lundy (Ringo Starr, Joe Pug, Horse Feathers) the EP offers up a shimmering cinematic landscape and finds Lee penning some of his best songs to date.
Nearly five years since his solo debut, Adam Lee opens his newest effort by telling us where he’s been. The title track touches on the hubris of youth and the power of hindsight before pushing forward to a dark and driving refrain, “I thought I knew then I stumbled into the wilderness years.”
For fans of Springsteen, Joe Pug, and John Moreland, The Wilderness Years offers a dark, tender, and sometimes chilling look at what it means to strike out on your own. With its five sweeping songs, Adam Lee also shows us the rewards to be reaped from doing so.
The Wilderness Years is available everywhere August 27th, 2021.
