Sienna Spiro called in a battalion of musicians to set the tone for “He's Not My Baby, I'm His,” which comes midway into her debut album, Visitor. There are trumpet players and a keyboardist and three different guitarists. Two people are on saxophone and another two on trombone, plus three more on bass, four on cello, and nearly a dozen violinists. There are more of them than there are years Spiro has been alive. But her voice is at the center of it all. The 20-year-old artist fills Visitor with influences from the all-time greats — like Frank and Nina…
Before Independence Day, Margo Price has surprise-released her Days of Unrest mixtape, featuring the singer's renditions of protest songs tackling the issues Price has championed. Along with the mixtape's arrival, Price also shared the video for her rendition of Woody Guthrie's “Deportee (Plane Crash at Los Gatos),” which she frequently performed live, including notably at the 2025 Newport Folk Festival. On this version, Price is joined by Memphis Mariachi and Joaz Baez, who famously performed “Deportee” alongside Bob Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. “I've been singing 'Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)' for a couple decades now, so…

Smirk, the power-pop-meets-punk-rock brainchild of Portland musician Nick Vicario, has a knack for turning tropes inside out. On his latest effort, Speculative Fiction, he reinvents suburban anhedonia with an unexpectedly meticulous, pop-forward sensibility. With help from friends like Ceremony’s Ross Farrar, Advertisement’s Ryan Mangione-Smith, and members of the Hotline TNT crew (who play in Smirk’s live band), Vicario recasts an archetypal narrator—the disaffected high schooler—as a grown-up trying to veer out of the fast lane and back to the familiarity of their constricting youth. Smirk’s first official album since 2022, Speculative Fiction is one hell of a reintroduction.Listen on Apple…
Adam Weiner knows you’re angry. So, when the Philadelphia singer-songwriter began writing a new album for Low Cut Connie — both the band he leads and the stage name under which he performs — he looked to a specific great American hero for inspiration: Fred Rogers. “Mr. Rogers said, ‘What do you do with the mad that you feel?’ Remember that speech while he’s putting his sweater on?” Weiner tells Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast. “We all get angry; we’ve got to use it. We’ve got to use it to motivate us: get in the streets, use your voice, vote,…
More than 50 years since Gerald Casale co-founded Devo with the belief that mankind is devolving at a rapid peace, he's commemorating America's 250th anniversary this July 4 with a video for his new solo song “Just Do It!” that takes on the ultimate symbol of our decay: Donald Trump. The animated video presents Trump as a dictator who leads an army of MAGA zombies, sucks money out of the country with a giant hose, smashes the Liberty Bell with a sledgehammer, watches the Statue of Liberty crumble, and runs over hordes of peaceful protestors in an ambulance. Things grow…
Donald Trump's favorite thing about America is that he lives in it. It's hard to point to a president that wasn't self-absorbed, of course — Obama had an ego on him, as well — but “President DJT,” as he signs his tweets, takes personal pride to a new level. Trump has put his personal stamp on every American institution within his reach, and the celebration of the country's 250th anniversary, known confusingly as the semiquincentennial, is no exception. Instead of a celebration of the country, Trump's “Freedom 250” celebrations honor a particular vision of America — one set by one…
To honor America’s 250th birthday, we pick a favorite song for every state in the Union Happy birthday, America! To celebrate our nation’s semiquincentennial, the editors of Rolling Stone got together and selected one song for every state. Some of these tunes are by homegrown heroes; other picks are just great songs that mention a state or happen to be set there or that evoke the place in some special way. Our list has rock classics, hip-hop anthems, country gems, and more, and it covers decades of great American music. Think of it as our playlist love letter to the…
