The COVID-19 pandemic has rocked the music world in a way we may never see again in our lifetimes. Nearly every band, venue, festival and fan — not to mention the millions whose livelihoods are connected the business — has been forced to take a time out of some sort. Cancelations. Rescheduling. And for some, the bad fortune of having their record releases and related tours put on hold.Not too many can say they’ve had it with both barrels like Margo Price, the Tennessee-based alt-country singer who had planned to release her much anticipated third album, That’s How Rumors Get Started, in May. She also had a scheduled opening slot on the first leg of Chris Stapleton’s planned tour, which would have reached our corner of the world, the Pacific Northwest, this coming weekend.Not only was all put on hold, but Price suffered a scare when her husband was stricken with the virus, which took a heavy toll on his health. Now he’s recovering, and Price has been leaking songs from the new record ahead of a rescheduled release date of July 10.We kick off this month’s podcast picks with “Letting Me Down,” the most recently release track from Rumors. The new songs find Ms. Price and her rock solid band in excellent form (see the video below) and should have fans revved up and ready when she returns to touring in America later this year.We also have great new songs for summer from Hellbound Glory, Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit, Brent Cobb, Blackberry Smoke, Ashley McBryde and more.New to our podcast ears is the talented Mickey Guyton, who shares her latest release, “Black Like Me,” among a bit of controversy. In a recent interview, the talented L.A.-based country singer said she was snubbed from participating in last year’s video for “Redesigning Women” by the Highwoman — the video featured not only members of the all-female fronted supergroup but also a number of other Nashville female singers still trying to get the recognition they deserve. Kudos to Highwoman Maren Morris for owning the mistake and expressing her regret, but maybe the talented Ms. Guyton will pick up some new fans as a result. Consider us in that mix.We also feature a few more newcomers, including veteran country rocker Carla Olson from her new album of duets, and delightful songs from Tessy Lou Williams and Zach Aaron, two rising star of country.Lots to chew on here, folks, so dig right in. Here’s the playlist for our June Podcast Picks:Letting Me Down, Margo PriceSweet Saint Me, Two Cow GarageMexicali Run, Left Arm TanBlack Like Me, Mickey GuytonDreamsicle, Jason Isbell and the 400 UnitRiver Town, The Harmed BrothersSouthern Child, Blackberry SmokeRattlesnake Girl, Jaime WyattHank Williams Lifestyle, Hellbound GloryThe World Is Ending, Brent CobbSmooth Shot of Whiskey, Mike and the MoonpiesMockingbird, Quaker City Night HawksWhy Do I Still Want You, Tessy Lou WilliamsVoodoo Doll, Ashley McBrydeProud Mary, Solomon BurkeFill Dirt Wanted, Zach AaronTimber, I’m Falling In Love, Carla Olson with Stephen McCarthyBabies In Cages, Drive-By TruckersBefore That Final Bell, Western Centuries
