Our New Artist of the Week is Nathan McEuen, whose track “Quicker at the Draw” opens this roundup. Eight new releases from the past two weeks, spanning Americana to cumbia urbana, a little something for everyone. We are most excited by Felice County Fair (A Celebration of the Felice Brothers), a collaborative tribute album built from more than two dozen Felice Brothers songs covered by friends and fans of the band. Oliver Leith’s Doom and the Dooms and Emily Ann Roberts’s “Thread” both arrive today.
