We’ve reached the home stretch of the 2019 year in music, and a number of our favorite artists new and old are finishing with a strong kick. We feature a bunch of them here in our November Podcast Picks, including Nashville powerhouse Ashley McBryde, who recently was named New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards.

One of our favorite new discoveries of 2019 is Chicago’s David Quinn, who we saw for the first time back in March opening for Mike and the Moonpies. Quinn delivers a traditional honky tonk sound on his debut record Wanderin’ Fool, and live his band takes it up a notch for a rowdy, rockin’ good time.

We kick off our podcast picks with Quinn’s song “Long Time Gone,” featured on the recently released 25th anniversary compilation from insurgent country leaders Bloodshot Records. It’s a traditional honky tonk shuffle with prominent pedal steel and dirty lead guitar that blends perfectly with Quinn’s easy-going lead vocal.

Quinn has enjoyed a terrific year with a steady stream of gigs opening for some of strongest country artists out there. We expect to hear a lot more from this talented performer in the coming years.

We also share tunes from some of best country and roots records of this year, including songs from Paul Cauthen, Cat Clyde, JP Harris, Orville Peck, Cody Johnson. There also is a number from the new Vetiver record, out now on Mama Bird Recording Co., and a new song from Bart Budwig from a record due soon on Fluff & Gravy Records.

And be sure to scroll down to check out a video for the song “Cold Civil War” from our longtime pal Matt Woods. It’s designed to get you in the mood for Thanksgiving dinner with the relatives, whatever be their personal and political beliefs. Nice work, Matt!

The Bottle Rockets cemented their place in the history of alt-country long ago, when the Missouri-based band emerged from the mid-90s wave as one of the genre’s most trusted acts. With singer-writer-guitarist Brian Henneman at the center of things, the band became well known for its catchy, witty and raucous tunes while surfing in the wake of the breakup of St. Louis-area mates Uncle Tupelo.

Twenty-plus years later and The Bottle Rockets are still at it, and the acclaim is rolling in for their brand-new Bloodshot Records release, Bit Logic. It’s everything you’d hope for from a Bottle Rockets record, with memorable songs in their unmistakable style stacked one after another.

We launch our November Podcast Picks with “Lo-Fi,” an easy-going homage to the A.M. radio and a reminder of how Henneman can take a simple groove and melody and turn it into something special. This month’s picks also include new music from rising Austin star Carson McHone, Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, smoking hot country singer Dillon Carmichael and Kentucky-based songwriter Dan Conn.

We also have a brand-new song that represents a bit of a comeback by The Delines, who have been out of commission for about a year due to an injury to singer Amy Boone — great to see them back in action. Be sure to look for their new record, The Imperial, due early next year.

There are also a number of our favorites, both national and local to our scene in Portland, OR, USA, including Roseanne Cash, Tim Barry, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlisle and Taylor Kingman. And be sure to make it all the way through this extended list of picks because The Resolectrics wrap things up with their instant classic “I Love You.”

So dial it in, crank it up and kick back. It’s our November Podcast Picks . . . here’s the playlist:
