Breakfield ranges from country-rock anthems to gorgeous ballads, showcasing a one-of-a-kind band fully in tune with their most adventurous instincts.

These songs have been accumulating in my life since the 1960s, long before I ever began writing my own. Many remained with me as warm-up pieces, familiar companions I would return to before a performance, or simply as a welcome respite from singing my own words. Every so often, another would find it's way into the collection. I'd be idly playing the guitar, stumble across a progression that reminded me of a song-""You Belong to Me,"" for instance-and realize I needed to go back and truly learn it. Some of these selections are deeply sentimental favorites, while others fascinated me as musical journeys across the guitar's fingerboard. Together, they form more than a collection of songs; they are milestones, each connected to a particular time, place, or memory, tracing the subtle contours of a life lived through music. - Bruce Cockburn

Hurts Like Hell is Charlotte Cornfield's sixth album, the first she's recorded since the birth of her daughter, an inflection point for her as a person and an artist. The album's recurrent themes of personal growth and renewal, of love's perseverance through difficulty and shame and awkwardness, are rooted there. "That experience has pulled me out of myself and given me a different outlook on things," she says. "The vulnerability and fragility and wildness of it all has made me less focused on self, more zoomed out." Hurts Like Hell is the most open-hearted, full-voiced album of her career, and also her most collaborative. Decamping to Philip Weinrobe's Sugar Mountain studio in Brooklyn, Cornfield was joined by a full backing band, including Palehound's El Kempner, Lake Street Dive's Bridget Kearney, Adam Brisbin, and Sean Mullins, with key contributions by Núria Graham, and Daniel Pencer. Cornfield then recruited Feist, Buck Meek, Christian Lee Hutson and Maia Friedman to sing on the album. The fruits of this process are immediately apparent on lead single "Hurts Like Hell," a country-saturated yearner Cornfield calls "a shy people love story," the band swelling to embrace Cornfield's idiosyncratic flow as if to cradle her protagonist's heart. That the song is so vulnerable, so lived-in, is a matter of trust between Cornfield and her bandmates, in each other and of their gut. Their sound lands somewhere between Nashville Skyline and Harvest; a warm, richly-textured response to her bruised-but-seeking call. Much of Hurts Like Hell's magic happens in the space Cornfield makes for harmony. Taken up by Meek or Hutson, characters are sung into life as if with a brushstroke. When joined by Kempner or Kearney, it's a dazzling facet of the natural, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry of her band. On "Kitchen," Friedman mirrors Cornfield's sense of astonishment at finding herself in love, rendering the emotion at it's ethereal peak. On "Living With It," she's joined by Feist, who Cornfield connected through a group chat for mothers who are touring musicians. Cornfield has arrived at this album bearing both scars from her past and hope for the future. Standing outside of herself and taking stock of what she wanted her music to be in the wake of childbirth, she was brave enough to ask for space, for time, and for help from places and people familiar and unexpected - a group chat, songwriters she was fans of but wasn't acquainted with, friends whose long-forgotten song leant her the chorus for a new one. Every "yes," every voice memo, every shared file, every open door leading to this moment in Charlotte Cornfield's career. Call that moment what you will - an expansion, a rebirth, a breakthrough - Hurts Like Hell is big enough to meet it and has lost none of Cornfield's charm, wit, or urgency in the offing, at once a reaffirmation of her standing among the great singer-songwriters of her generation and the first articulation of her future, whatever uncertainty and love it may bring.

Colin Stetson and Brìghde Chaimbeul come together on All the Light in the World, a collaborative album that feels both ancient and immediate. Built from deep listening,improvisation, and an instinct for emotional intensity, the record merges Stetson's innovativeapproach to the saxophone with Chaimbeul's singular command of the Scottish small pipes,creating music that drifts between drone, ritual, and cinematic expanse. For nearly two decades, Colin Stetson has stood as a distinctive voice in contemporary music,known for pushing the saxophone beyond conventional form through circular breathing,percussive mechanics, and multiphonics. His work spans acclaimed solo records, collaborationswith artists across experimental and independent music, and celebrated film and televisionscores including Hereditary, The Menu, and Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen.Brìghde Chaimbeul has emerged as a leading force in the revival and reimagining of Celtic folktraditions. Rooted in the language and musical heritage of the Isle of Skye, her work with theScottish small pipes transform traditional forms into hypnotic, minimalist compositions that feeltimeless and exploratory at once. Her recent recordings have earned international acclaim fortheir emotional depth and fearless approach to tradition. Together, the pair create a sound that is elemental and transportive: waves of breath, reed,resonance, and silence unfolding in real time. All the Light in the World captures the rarechemistry between two artists who approach folk and experimental music not as fixed genres,but as living, evolving languages.In September 2026, Stetson and Chaimbeul will bring this collaboration to North America for arun of live performances supporting the album. The tour promises immersive and deeplyphysical performances that blur the line between concert, composition, and ceremony,presenting All the Light in the World in it's most immediate form.

Courtney Marie Andrews has long been celebrated as an artist who challenges herself, and who finds new interplays of Folk and Americana.. Also a vivid poet and accomplished painter, she brings a multidisciplinary richness to her work that shines throughout her 9th studio album, Valentine. Valentine is Andrews’s most sonically explorative record – she plays flute, high strung guitars, myriad synths, and draws heavy inspiration from her art outside of music. Co-produced with Jerry Bernhardt and recorded almost entirely to tape, the album features complete in-studio performances that prize raw performance rather than perfection. Andrews’s voice is gorgeous and acrobatic always, but on Valentine it finds a new depth, an assertiveness that brings new dimension to its biggest anthems and its softest moments.Written during a period of profound endings and new beginnings, the record is an honest exploration of love vs. limerence. While anticipating the imminent loss of a loved one who would eventually recover, a new but uncertain romance began to develop. Rather than lift her up, the two emotional poles seemed to bleed into each other to sow doubt, trouble, even obsession. But through her own exploration of music and art, Andrews found a way to grow stronger inside this feeling. “I didn’t want to slink into my pain, I wanted to embrace it, own it” she says. The songs that emerged are devotional in their lyrics but defiant in their energy; it’s the very sound of a woman standing in her first wisdom. With Valentine, Andrews rejects the objectification of love, the love filled with gestures and objects instead of trust, mess, and growth. In doing so, she delivers her most beautiful and loving album to date.

Acclaimed songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Dani Larkin has announced her highly anticipated new album Next Of Kin, set for release on January 23rd, 2026. The first single, End Of It All, out September 18th, offers a first glimpse at the stunning progression of her sound, fusing her signature storytelling with bold new sonic textures to create a track that is as urgent as it is unforgettable.The critical success of her debut, Notes For A Maiden Warrior (2021), garnered Folk Award and NI Music Prize nominations and led Larkin to tour with Snow Patrol, Lisa O'Neill, Glen Hansard, Lisa Hannigan, Rufus Wainwright and Ye Vagabonds as well as collaborations with the Ulster Orchestra and RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Next Of Kin, co-produced with Ruth O'Mahony Brady (Sam Smith, Feist, Gorillaz, The Frames), is an ambitious and deeply emotive body of work. A sonic and lyrical exploration of life's most universal milestones - from the innocence of birth to the acceptance of life's end.Anchored by Larkin's striking vocals, the album moves through a trilogy-like structure:Part I journeys from darkness to coming-of-age revelations, including the spirited track David. Part II dives into adulthood's complexity - love, fear, beauty, courage, doubt, hope - with expansive orchestral arrangements and delicate storytelling. Part III closes in a place of resolution and homecoming, culminating in the poignant farewell, Danny Boy.

With I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind.I Hope We Can Still Be Friends is essentially an anthology that bridges Johnson’s earliest days as a songwriter with his present-day outlook and abilities. There are songs that have been in his setlists for years, and others that will be new to fans. Each of its 11 tracks contains jocular social commentary or lovingly rendered affairs of the heart. The album’s songs about love and relationships offer another way to interpret its title: as a parting thought to an ex.Like John Prine or Kris Kristofferson’s country-adjacent sound, devastating humor and economical profundity refracted through a barroom’s haze, the album is filled with easygoing twang, sad characters, universal truths and the absurdity of everyday life. “Carol” recounts the numb consumption and dissipating cultural attention that is besieging America. There’s a search for optimism amid meditations on dying in a plane crash in “Before You Hit the Ground.” Romance that is best forgotten steers “So Much Better” — only Johnson could weave electroconvulsive therapy into a gentle, chuckle-inducing missive on unbearable heartbreak.I Hope We Can Still Be Friends floats in a liminal plane between timely and timeless, its minimalist instrumentation elevating Johnson’s affecting voice to new heights.

The 1964 solo debut record from Doc Watson didn't just define guitar flat-picking for his generation and those to come (check "Black Mountain Rag"), but it also straddled American music traditions with amazing aplomb. Just try classifying this record: is it folk? Country? Bluegrass? The truth is, it's all of those things, and more. It's hilarious ("Intoxicated Rat"), mournful ("Little Omie Wise"), defiantly joyful ("Sittin' on Top of the World"), starkly existential ("Country Blues"), and even goofy ("Born About Six Thousand Years Ago"). But most of all, it's Doc Watson, the first and perhaps most lasting salvo from an American music giant. And, as such, it's one of the fundamental albums of American roots music, and a profound and deeply enjoyable listening experience. We at Real Gone Music are proud to bring you this all-time classic in it's original mono, pressed in deep river blue vinyl at Gotta Groove Records.

Indie Retail Vinyl Variant: - Handwritten note from DW - Personal photos - Alternate cover image - signed insert and numbered "It took me a while to make this record - my whole adult life essentially. Early last year, I was struggling to find things to sing about, or reasons to sing at all. A series of failures led me to a point where I entered an addiction counseling program and committed myself to getting to the bottom of myself, right down to the stuff I kept from everyone. It’s been a process. Since then, I’ve held myself to a high standard of total honesty always. I shaved my head. I changed my mind about a lot of things. It turns out the truth really does set you free. Eventually, new songs started to reappear. These are those songs. I suppose it’s a sort of farewell to the guy I was pretending to be. I’ve struggled in the past with the character I inhabit in many of my songs. I seem wise, magnanimous, chivalrous. I was trying to will myself into a person I might love and respect.
While I’ve always aimed for rigorous honesty in my songwriting, this time I got to push off from the actual bottom of myself. I won’t be cheesy and say I feel like this is my first album, but it certainly feels like a new start. I hope you find the songs useful."

Twelve years in the making, a new record by Portland's idiosyncratic master of ultra modern folk music Dragging An Ox Through Water. Old school electronic oscillations and blips meet solid guitar playing and singing. The lyrics alone are worth the price of admission. Nothing obvious is ever said and every word gleans with layers of meaning. Dragging An Ox Through Water is Brian Mumfords' cult long running art music project. Beloved in Portland. Willfully underground. The real stuff. A modern masterpiece.

Oh and the way that it feelsTo know youOh and the way it revealsI don't know youSo begins "The Way That It Feels, " the concluding track of Elanor Moss' debut full-length album The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss' classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a veil, over the rest of the song. Regardless of time, intimacy, love, tenderness, and the way those things can change a person and a relationship, there is, she asserts, an immutable fact to these things: that whatever she learns from them, there will always be something unknowable just beyond.It's a gorgeous song, but this sentiment - that what Moss knows about a lover also reveals what she doesn't know - is, for lack of a better term, a knife, burrowed in the back of beauty, an ache which, for lack of a cure, must be accepted, understood, and lived with. Across the nine songs that make up The Knife, The Needle, this is what Elanor Moss does, rendering joy and pain in exquisite peals of psych-folk, it's darkly-dreamed vignettes offering, if not catharsis, an understanding of the complexity of the journey towards it - healing as a process, rather than an object one obtains.Arriving at The Knife, The Needle was itself a complex journey. Moss found herself adrift from her music, pursuing a sound as opposed to occupying the space she had already cultivated for herself. "Nothing felt right, " she recalls, "so I took the pressure off myself and tried to calibrate my relationship with songwriting and music." The three years she spent writing the songs that make up The Knife, The Needle ultimately found her returning to her roots in and love for, as she puts it, "the music that made me really feel something; the music I wanted to be writing."The Knife, The Needle concerns itself with the way relationships between people are transformed, complicated, and troubled by love. In "Sarah Waiting in the Car" that turn is abuse. In "Fixer" which lends the album it's title, Moss grapples with the fact that love is as capable of harming someone as it is healing them. It's chorus, "Somewhere, deep down / I'm afraid that if you show me the knife / I might use it on you babe" shifts, first to the thought that the "you" Moss addresses the song to may use it on her, then, stunningly, to the knife could be something else entirely: "Maybe what we thought of as a knife / Is just a needle we could use / To stitch the wound?" she asks, offering at last to reveal where she hurts so long as her partner does the same.It's devastating work, a feat of tight lyrical construction that is at once patient and vulnerable, opulently rendered and keenly felt. Remarkably, it and the rest of The Knife, The Needle emerged from a place of restraint, with Moss - staying in a cabin near her parent's house in the Scottish highlands after initially recording an entirely different version of the album in New York City ("a bit rollocking, " she notes) - feeling the pangs of the album she hadn't recorded - "quieter, weirder, more English." Rerecording with a new ensemble and producer/engineer Pete Miles was a risk, but setting aside an already completed project was worth it. In the quieter, weirder, more English sound manifested here, Moss captures something fleeting, ephemeral, and honest about the moments in which love, for good or ill, irrevocably changes someone. Both the knife and the needle named in the album's title are capable of drawing blood, but illuminated by her voice and guitar, what bleeds out from these songs is nothing short of poetry.

Elizabeth Ziman is the singer-songwriter and creative force behind Elizabeth and The Catapult, known for her piano-driven compositions, sharp emotional insight,and disarming honesty, and who has built a career on songs that balance wit and vulnerability with striking precision. She's toured with the likes of Sara Bareillesand Kishi Bash i ; collaborated with with Esperanza Spalding, Gillian Welch, Blake Mills and Ben Folds; scored, with Paul Brill; and her songs have been featured innational television campaigns for Google, Amazon, Sky TV, and So You Think You Can Dance.Responsible Friend is an album about the ways in which we show up for one another. What does it mean to be a responsible friend to be there for someone you lovewithout trying to save them? The first lesson I learned about caregiving, says Elizabeth, is that I need to put on my own oxygen mask before I can help anyoneelse. The next lesson (and the one you won't find in an airline seat-back) was that no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't take away anyones pain. I wasntthere to fix anyone. I just had to accept them on their own terms. That philosophy runs throughout the album, with songs about a family members passing, a friendliving with long COVID, and the shared burden of a society steeped in conflict and injustice. I realized that everyone I knew, including myself, was being asked toprocess an enormous amount of grief at an alarming pace, she says. Writing these songs became my way to surrender to those experiences and slow down enough tobe fully present for the people in my life.Some of the songs on Responsible Friend are joyful dedications; others feel more like letters Elizabeth wasnt sure she wanted to send. Taken together, it's a recordabout slowing down in a world that keeps accelerating. It's a commitment to friends, family, and self, at a time when everyone seems to be carrying more than they canreasonably hold. With Responsible Friend, Elizabeth Ziman delivers a record that feels both intimate and expansive, an unflinching reflection on care, grief, and thestuff it takes to keep showing up.
