For our CD, given away free with the February 2026 issue of Uncut, we’ve detoured our long-standing Sounds Of The New West series deep into the heart of the Big Easy. In rich musical pockets like New Orleans’ historic Ninth Ward district, fresh gumbo is being concocted by an emerging generation of artists – including Alex Pianovich’s Greazy Alice, who are also interviewed in the new issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For our CD, given away free with the February 2026 issue of Uncut, we\u2019ve detoured our long-standing Sounds Of The New West series deep into the heart of the Big Easy. In rich musical pockets like New Orleans\u2019 historic Ninth Ward district, fresh gumbo is being concocted by an emerging generation of artists \u2013 including Alex Pianovich\u2019s Greazy Alice, who are also interviewed in the new issue.<\/p>\n

Stand by, then, for the freshest cuts direct from the Crescent City \u2013 \u201cbottom shelf country music\u201d, stellar boogie, raucous rock\u2019n\u2019roll and swampy psychedelia.<\/p>\n

1 Greazy Alice
Turn
<\/strong>Our survey of the finest current New Orleans sounds kicks off with a track by the fine Greazy Alice. Otherwise known as Alex Pianovich, he helped to compile this CD with his expert knowledge of the Big Easy as it is right now. This is one of the highlights of his excellent album, As Time Goes By.<\/p>\n

2 Chris Acker
Wouldn\u2019t Do For You (Buddy)
<\/strong>Acker\u2019s fourth album, Famous Lunch, appeared in late 2024 and found the Louisiana native writing imagistic, honest and deeply funny songs like this, backed by his group The Growing Boys. Conjured up on the road and at a Montana residency, the 10 tracks on Famous Lunch are a testament to Acker\u2019s talents.<\/p>\n

3 Silver Synthetic
Yr Gonna Be Happy
<\/strong>The second track on March 2025\u2019s Rosalie LP, this showcases Silver Synthetic\u2019s glammy brand of country-rock. There are elements of the Paisley Underground, Beachwood Sparks, Rose City Band and even jazzy touches, but the group are largely laying out their own path with stellar boogie like this.<\/p>\n

4 Sabine McCalla
Two Of Hearts
<\/strong>Sister of Layla McCalla, and an artist who\u2019s made New Orleans their home, Sabine McCalla just released her debut full-length, Don\u2019t Call Me Baby, at the end of 2025. Like \u201cTwo Of Hearts\u201d, it\u2019s a novel mix of Americana, gospel, pre-war styles and rock\u2019n\u2019roll, all tied together with McCalla\u2019s unique voice.<\/p>\n

5 Whip Appeal
No Cowboys in Texas
<\/strong>James Cobb and Lily Fein wryly call their music \u2018punch-bowl rock\u2019n\u2019roll\u2019 and \u2018bottom shelf country music\u2019, but the songs on their records \u2013 including 2024\u2019s Shimmering Seed, which includes this song \u2013 are raucous, clever Americana, like Palace Brothers and Silver Jews cutting loose in a Nashville dive.<\/p>\n

6 Chris Lyons
When Are You Coming Down
<\/strong>When he\u2019s not fronting Silver Synthetic, Lyons makes his own music. Painters Street, released in late 2025, is a quietly stunning effort, capturing a stumbling, rumpled group live in the studio much like Neil Young\u2019s Tonight\u2019s The Night. Gone is the showiness of Silver Synthetic, and much of their energy; that space is filled with raw emotion instead.<\/p>\n

7 Anna Moss
Slow Down Kamikaze
<\/strong>Singer-songwriter Moss doesn\u2019t hail from the Crescent City originally, but from the legendary Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. The folk music she developed there is mixed with spacey, experimental R&B on her striking albums such as 2024\u2019s Amnesty; this song, for instance, wonderfully mingles her soulful vocals with flute and crisp slow-funk percussion.<\/p>\n

8 Burnt Sugar
Disguise
<\/strong>Spencer Nessel helms New Orlean\u2019s Burnt Sugar, a predominantly new wave and chamber-pop group, a little Lemon Twigs, a little Cardinal. Their 2023 single \u201cDisguise\u201d, though, adds some great honky-tonk fiddle, the feel of the Big Easy and the Mississippi inevitably seeping through.<\/p>\n

9 Thomas Dollbaum
Warlock\u2019s House
<\/strong>A poet and songwriter, Dollbaum is on the up thanks to his tender, atmospheric Drive All Night mini-album. \u201cWarlock\u2019s House\u201d is his finest work so far, presenting him as a modern Jeff Buckley soaked in Southern Gothic and Americana. With a new LP ready to go, watch this space.<\/p>\n

10 The Deslondes\u00a0
Grand Junction
<\/strong>Sam Doores and his group have been New Orleans staples for a good few years now \u2013 with Doores also a solo artist and sometime member of Hurray For The Riff Raff, formerly a New Orleans group themselves \u2013 and 2024\u2019s Roll It Out, co-produced by the great Andrija Tokic, is one of their best records so far.<\/p>\n

11 Jackson And The Janks
Let\u2019s Leave Here
<\/strong>Jackson Lynch is now resident in Brooklyn, but his group started in New Orleans and practically bleed the classic Big Easy sound. Write It Down, released in 2025 and featuring this cut, is a raucous rock\u2019n\u2019roll hoedown complete with honking sax, something like The White Stripes if they\u2019d been into juke-joint swing rather than garage-rock and blues.<\/p>\n

12 The Lostines
No Mama Blues
<\/strong>Sam Doores is also involved with this duo of stellar singers and songwriters, Casey Jane Reece-Kaigler and Camille Wind Weatherford, who play old-style country and ballads, dripping with melancholy. The big draw here are their harmonies, evoking the Everlys and the finest vintage duets.<\/p>\n

13 Bruisey Peets
True At Once
<\/strong>Ben Usie is a Lousiana-born songwriter who moved away and then returned to make his own brand of swampy psychedelic pop as Bruisey Peets. \u201cTrue At Once\u201d is taken from his 2025 EP \u201cCartwheel Clown\u201d, theatrical and eclectic like a Delta Flaming Lips.<\/p>\n

14 Abby And The Arsonists
Carmela
<\/strong>Last year\u2019s Caterpillars In The Walls is the latest LP from this New Orleans garage-rock outfit led by Abby Lewis. Raging and tongue-in-cheek all at once, it\u2019s a call to a certain fictional gangster\u2019s wife, pleading for her to see his murderous, cheating ways and act accordingly.<\/p>\n

15 Maddy Kirgo
Stranger Over Me
<\/strong>After busking in the Crescent City and trying to start a honky-tonk band, Kirgo fell into classic country songwriting and subsequently made 2024\u2019s Shadow On My Light, her first full release. This track mixes elegiac craft with more modern production and arrangements, slide guitar melting into synths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
