Both Brennen Leigh and Whitney Rose are celebrating newly released albums – Rose’s Rosie was released back in May while Leigh’s Ain’t Through Honky Tonkin’ Yet arrived in June. But let’s take it back two years to 2021 when the two teamed up to cover Concrete Blonde’s classic “Joey”.
Monday Morning Video – Jimmy Buffett
We lost another legend this weekend with the passing of Jimmy Buffett. Buffett’s legacy stretches beyond music that is revered by countless fans. He also helped shape the business of music, creating an empire that made him a cultural icon. It’s hard to pick just one classic from a catalog that is filled with them. […]
Monday Morning Video – Marvin Gaye
In addition to being one of soul music’s most dynamic performers, Marvin Gaye was also one of its most prodigious musical artists.

Floating Away – a Video Premiere from Shadwick Wilde
Fall is nigh upon us. And with it, grey skies and chilling temperatures. Why is that relevant? It’s a atmosphere that permeates Forever Home, the forthcoming album from Shadwick Wilde. “Floating Away”, the video of which Twangville is premiering today, is one of the album’s standouts. The song finds Wilde dissecting a relationship, unsure of […]
Monday Morning Video – Clay Pigeons
Blaze Foley was a songwriter’s songwriter. As John Prine says in his introduction to his cover of the classic “Clay Pigeons”, “I heard him sing this song here and it blew me just right out of my chair, I thought ‘”‘my God, that sounds like I should have stayed awake and wrote that some night.’”

Here is a brief video playlist that features just small pieces […]
Monday Morning Video – The Pretenders
It says something when a diverse array of artists – Iggy Pop, Shirley Manson & Garbage, Kings of Leon, and Incubus – team up to perform one of your songs. But when you’re talking about Chrissie Hynde, it really isn’t much of a surprise. Hynde and the Pretenders are gearing up for both a new […]
Monday Morning Video – Ronnie Fauss and Friends
A few weeks back, Dallas musician and friend of Twangville Ronnie Fauss reached out to see if we wanted to collaborate on a birthday show. “But it’s not our birthday,” we replied. He sat us down and carefully explained that it was HIS birthday and he had an idea. We were sold. Join us this […]
Bonus Monday Video – Another From Lyle Lovett
What’s better than one Lyle Lovett song to start the week? How about two. Here’s another Lovett classic – “Nobody Knows Me” – from 2011.
