In 2018 autobiography At Home With the Armadillo, Gary P. Nunn shifted from soundtracking Austin’s raucous and defining era of progressive country to chronicling it. The Texas Music Hall of Famer remains a core influence to generations of Red Dirt kickers, a reputation revisited on last year’s duets LP Friends for Life.

Now living in Belgium, Émilie Clepper spent her youth split between Quebec and Austin, the latter in which musician father Russell Clepper resides. The Québécoise chanteuse struck harmony on last year’s Émilie Clepper et la Grande Migration, a slow-burning pop yarn with gentle twangs and a smoky chanson vox.
