As part of her ongoing US tour, Wanda Jackson performed a sold-out show at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room in St. Louis last night.

The Chicago Sun-Times recently described the song "Short Dress Gal," off the Carolina Chocolate Drops' collaborative EP with Luminescent Orchestrii, as "one helluva song."

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
