More than half of 2026 is now behind us, and in case you missed it, No Depression's best albums of the year up until August can be found here. Still, August itself had lots more to offer.
Spotlight artist Sera Cahoone returned with new solo music for the first time since 2018. Alt-country favorites (and No Depression cover artist) The Jayhawks released a new LP that toys with the term "Americana." Additionally, the Best of the Blues column highlighted magnificent new songs from Ruthie Foster, stripped-down music from Keb’ Mo’, and even an album curated by famed actor Morgan Freeman.
All these artists and so many more are included in the new Qobuz playlist below. We're trying out yet another platform to try to figure out how best share information and music while still supporting artists (but don't worry, we're still on Spotify and also on Deezer). In the meantime, don't forget to support nonprofit music journalism here at No Depression and become a member to read about these musicians and discover others.
