Dierks Bentley has premiered the music video for his spirited cover of Tom Petty's "American Girl". The video for the lead single from Big Machine Records' forthcoming tribute album, PETTY COUNTRY: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty, opens with Bentley strapping on Petty's own signature Rickenbacker guitar that was flownin from his archives in California for the shoot.
Shot at Nashville venue Clementine, the performance-forward video focuses on musicianship as Bentley and his band (which includes Charlie Worsham) circle up at golden hour with light pouring into the room, offering up a sense of sanctification and celebrating the fellowship, joy of playing and spirit that defined Tom Petty and his seminal band the Heartbreakers.

Mia Day just released her single "Severed", which is a love letter to the greats of the Seattle music scene, and to celebrate we asked her to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
Severed is the first song I've ever screamed on. It's a late 90's early 2000's alt-rock angst-inspired single that feels almost slow-core, almost twang grunge. When I was recording it, I imagined that I was smashing things and setting photographs of me and my ex on fire, or wielding a sword and cutting through all of the things that made me feel worthless. It's the quintessential break up song on the album. Lyrically, it's about owning all the ways that being broken up with makes you feel like a loser, and in the process, trying to reclaim your own narrative. If the rest of the album is me throwing myself into the pit, then "Severed" is me singing and screaming my way out of it. (continue)
