Devon Gilfillian has been putting his own spin on Americana music since moving to Nashville from Philadelphia back in 2013. He pushes the boundaries even further on his forthcoming album Time Will Tell, which he recorded at historic RCA Studio A on Music Row. But, Gilfillian says, this is far from a Music Row-type album. During his visit to the Nashville Now cabin, the singer-guitarist talks about sidestepping the system as an indie artist, how Sturgill Simpson’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music influenced his career, and why things have or haven’t changed for Black artists making their art in Music City. Get to know one of American roots music’s most dynamic voices on this episode of Rolling Stone’s all-things-Nashville podcast.   Country is Here…Nashville is Now.   Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.

Carly Pearce is unafraid to raise tough questions about faith, marriage, and success in country music. In a startling candid episode of Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, the Kentucky singer-songwriter addresses the polarizing response to her new song “Church Girl,” opens up about the sacrifices she’s had to make for her career, and wonders if you can ever really “move on” from a broken relationship. “Those parts of your story, they’re never gone,” Pearce says.

On this episode of The Rolling Stone Interview, Johnny Knoxville – the patron saint of beautiful stupidity – looks back on 25 years of broken bones, bad ideas, and cultural chaos as he gears up for what he insists will be the final chapter of Jackass. In a wide-ranging conversation with Rolling Stone senior writer Alex Morris, he opens up about the darker aftershocks of that legacy: concussions, “catastrophic thinking,” addiction within the cast, and the uneasy realization that aging bodies don’t bounce the way they used to. It’s a raw, unexpectedly tender reckoning with risk, rebellion, fatherhood, and how the guy who made a career out of pain is finally learning his limits. Learn more about your ad choices.
