Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett has shared a new solo single, ‘Long, Long Year’ – listen to it below.Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, the track features bassist Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) and drummer Julian Doro (Eagles of Death Metal, The Whigs) among other musicians.It was produced by the Grammy-winning Vance Powell, who’s previously worked with the likes of Jack White and his side project band The Dead Weather.Speaking about how the emotional, country-tinged song came about, Shiflett explained: “I spent a lot of time alone at my studio in LA during the first part of the lockdown just woodshedding tunes.“The line ‘It’s been a long, long year‘ was rattling around my head for obvious reasons, but I framed it as a love song.”The musician said that he then recorded his first solo material since his 2019 album, ‘Hard Lessons’,  during a trip to Nashville in March 2021.“I hadn’t done much traveling post-COVID lockdown so I was a little nervous heading out there to work with a producer and roomful of musicians I didn’t really know,” Shiflett went on.“In true Nashville style we made our introductions and got right down to work, hammering out the basic tracks in a few hours.”He continued: “Vance was great and made me feel right at home, and the group of players he put together were on point.  Next day we did some overdubs and Sierra [Hull] came in and added mandolin and harmony vocals on ‘Long, Long Year’ and the tracks started coming together.”Details of a potential new solo record have not yet been confirmed.‘Long, Long Year’ marks the first music from a member of Foo Fighters since the death of the band’s drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in March.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticYou remember the old saying: You lie down with jammers, you get up with jam. Or, if not that, then maybe there’s some similar aphorism that applies to the situation of Dawes, the L.A. group that has earned some support on the jam-band circuit, such as it is, without ever actually being a jam band.

BTS rapper J-Hope’s first solo album ‘Jack In The Box’ has made the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart.On July 26, Billboard shared on Twitter that the idol’s debut solo effort ‘Jack In The Box’ debuted at Number 17 on the album chart dated July 30. It is J-Hope’s highest charting solo entry yet after his 2018 mixtape ‘Hope World’, which debuted at Number 63 and later peaked at Number 38.Debuts on this week's #Billboard200 (1/2):#2, @lizzo Special#7, @realstevelacyy Gemini Rights#8, @ITZYofficial Checkmate#11, #VariousArtists Gangsta Art#17, #JHOPE Jack In The Box#23, @SabrinaAnnLynn Emails I Can't Send— billboard charts (@billboardcharts) July 25, 2022‘Jack In The box’, which was released on July 15, is also ranked Number Five on Billboard’s weekly top-selling albums chart, while its title track ‘Arson’ is the second top-selling song of the week.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThe release of Lizzo’s “Special” album finally gave her “About Damn Time” single the surge it needed to conquer the Billboard Hot 100, after the song had bided its time for weeks in the No. 2 spot on that chart, waiting to knock Harry Styles’ long-standing “As It Was” out of the top spot.The Lizzo album itself had to settle for a No. 2 entry on the Billboard 200, since Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti” album — now in its sixth non-consecutive week on top — is proving even harder to push out of the way than Styles’ single was.The second-place finish for “Special” did represent Lizzo’s high mark on the album chart to date.

Jamie T is set for a triumphant return to the Official Albums Chart, with The Theory of Whatever on course to become his first-ever UK Number 1 record after a six-year break.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticFor Nicolle Galyon — a BMI songwriter of the year honoree and co-writer of nine No. 1 country songs, including Miranda Lambert’s “Automatic,” Blake Shelton’s “Minimum Wage” and Dan + Shay’s “Tequila” — there was nothing automatic about making the shift from hit tunesmith to (basically) first-time recording artist.

Alison Mosshart has spoken about the possibility of The Dead Weather making a comeback in the future.The US supergroup – which also features Jack White, Dean Fertita (Queens Of The Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) – released their debut album ‘Horehound’ back in 2009.They’ve since dropped two more full-length records – ‘Sea Of Cowards’ (2010) and ‘Dodge And Burn’ (2015) – in between the members’ other respective projects, including Mosshart’s band The Kills.During a recent interview with Consequence Of Sound, Mosshart was asked if a Dead Weather reunion could be on the cards. “Your guess is as good as mine,” she replied.“The band was a happy accident. We walked into Jack’s new recording studio at the time to test out the room and the gear, and walked out with a whole record in the blink of an eye.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticWhat happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. The Academy of Country Music Awards will be sticking with Amazon Prime Video for a second year in 2023, but not sticking with Las Vegas, where the broadcast has been based almost every year since 2003.The next ACMs will take place May 11, 2023 in Frisco, Texas at the Ford Center at the Star, a 12,000-seat indoor stadium that hosts sporting events and serves as a practice facility for the Dallas Cowboys.It won’t be the first trip the ACMs have taken to Texas.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThere aren’t many Tony-winning productions in which one of the veteran creator-performers can announce that he’s retiring, right in the middle of a performance… and do it in song form… and have it be part of the natural flow of the evening. But that’s what happened at the opening night of “Freestyle Love Supreme” at the Pasadena Playhouse Thursday night, as the high-profile musical revue reached the final stop of an 11-city tour.
