WATCH: The Wild Feathers Sing Alone at the Ryman

Celebrated for its acoustics, the mother church of country music hosts this special performance by the Wild Feathers. This Nashville band blurs the lines between country and rock, while never forgetting to pay respect to the roots of American folk music. Watch as the Wild Feathers deliver a moving performance of “Lonely is a Lifetime” huddled around one microphone in an empty Ryman Auditorium.

WATCH: Vince Gill, “I Don’t Wanna Ride the Rails No More”

Vince Gill makes a mighty lonesome sound in his newest single, “I Don’t Wanna Ride the Rails No More.” His voice carries the experiences of his decades in country music — and it’s so satisyfing to hear it again.

Enjoy the lyric video for “I Don’t Wanna Ride the Rails No More,” from his upcoming album, OKIE. Here’s hoping he’ll play the new tunes for his July 25 appearance at Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman.
