WATCH: Brandy Clark makes Letterman debut with rousing 'Stripes' performance [VIDEO]
Brandy Clark is just itching to become the next big thing in country music. The 36-year-old Washington native moved on from being a songwriter to a bona fide country star in 2013, creating one of Music Times' top 10 albums of the year 12 Stories. Last night, in another push to bring her music to a wider audience, Clark made her network TV debut on "Late Show With David Letterman," performing none other than her lead single "Stripes." -
Eminem, Janelle Monae, Haim Join Music Times' Top 10 Albums of 2013
As with any other group conversation between the writers of Music Times, the debate between what albums to include on the site's Top 10 of the year was less than professional. There was crying (Ryan Book), yelling (Nicole Oran), and even threats of violence (Caitlin Carter). Ultimately, after countless votes and demands for recounts, ten finalists were chosen. Check out the albums that we kept in the stereo throughout 2013, along with defenses from the staff writers that loved the most. -
Ryan Book's Playlist of 2013: Lorde, Kanye, and Kvelertak
Music Times, like so many other music publications, was looking to publish a "Best of 2013" playlist. We met to discuss what such a playlist should include, and that's where we ran into trouble. We couldn't agree. Sometimes two of us just couldn't agree on whether the performer was amazing or terrible, and even when we agreed they were amazing, we couldn't agree on what track was most representative of their work. Hence it was decided that rather than try to agree (a seemingly impossible endeavor), everyone would get their own "favorites of 2013" playlist. We won't argue that these are neccesarily the best tracks of the last year, but they're definitely songs that caught our respective attention and caused us to hit 'repeat" over and over and over again -
Back of The Billboards: '12 Stories' by Brandy Clark...the best album country album of 2013 so far by our count
Society always celebrates the records that top the Billboard 200 album chart. Back of The Billboards is a Music Times weekly segment that looks at the opposite end: the new record that finished closest to the back of the Billboard 200 for the previous week. We hope to give a fighting chance to the bands you haven't heard of.
