Amy Speace’s The Days of Letting Go carries a deeply reflective folk sensibility, balancing spoken passages with a fuller band arrangement that gradually gives the song emotional weight. The guitars, upright bass, cello, keys and drums create a warm, organic backdrop, while Speace’s vocal delivery keeps the storytelling intimate and grounded. There is a strong sense of memory and loss running through the song, but the arrangement avoids becoming overly heavy, allowing the words and changing dynamics to do much of the work. The spoken verses give the track an almost cinematic quality, placing the listener inside a personal story before the music opens up around it. Amy Speace brings a lived in quality to the performance, making the song feel less like a conventional ballad and more like a carefully unfolding piece of storytelling. The Days of Letting Go finds real emotional strength in restraint, atmosphere and the quiet process of moving forward.

Sometimes letting go is its own kind of journey.

Buddy Guy is showing no signs of slowing down.

Fresh off a major stretch that included a performance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival and his 90th birthday celebration at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the blues legend has revealed that a new studio album is coming in 2027.

Guy’s team announced the news on social media, confirming that the upcoming record is being produced by Steve Jordan and will feature an impressive group of musicians.

“A brand new Buddy Guy studio album is coming in 2027! Produced by Steve Jordan, the album features an incredible lineup of musicians: Willie Weeks, Isaiah Sharkey, Ivan Neville, special guest Kim Wilson, and more,” Guy’s team shared.

The announcement came on the same day as Buddy’s Got the Blues: A 90th Birthday Concert Celebration at Radio City Music Hall, where several of the musicians involved with the upcoming album were also scheduled to perform.

“We can’t wait for you to hear what they’ve been cookin’ up in the studio. Stay tuned,” Guy’s team added.

The forthcoming project will follow Guy’s 2025 studio album, Ain’t Done With the Blues, which arrived shortly before his 89th birthday and featured guests including Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Joe Bonamassa, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and The Blind Boys of Alabama.

The 2027 album continues an active period for Guy even after reaching his 90th birthday. In late September, he appeared at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Austin, Texas, joining a lineup that included Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan, John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Billy Gibbons and others.

Days later, the celebration shifted to New York for Guy’s 90th birthday concert at Radio City Music Hall on October 1. The all-star event brought together musicians from across the blues and rock worlds to honor one of the genre’s most influential figures

Additional details about the 2027 album, including its title, track listing and release date, have not yet been announced.

The Rolling Stones have released the latest video from their Foreign Tongues album, and they’ve plundered Hollywood again to find a suitable personality to lead the performance.

The video for Mr Charm features Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, who counts Zoolander, Generation Kill, The Legend Of Tarzan, Godzilla vs. Kong, The Northman and Big Little Lies among his credits, but is probably best known for his role as tech mogul Lukas Matsson in the popular HBO drama series Succession.

Skarsgård is the latest star to appear in a video for a song from Foreign Tongues, following Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton (Jealous Lover) and Odessa A’zion (In The Stars). On the band’s previous album, Hackney Diamonds, the video for lead single Angry was enlivened by a star turn from Hollywood A-lister Sydney Sweeney.

In August, Mick Jagger and producer Andrew Watt spoke to Variety about the making of Mr Charm, revealing how the song originated in a demo guitar riff played by Jagger, before guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood added their parts. Steve Winwood contributed organ, and Jagger singled out the groove created by drummer Steve Jordon for specific praise.

“It’s connected with dance,” said Jagger. “The drums, the feet, and also the spitting out of the lyrics on a song like this, where you’ve got a lot of words coming at you very quickly, and they’ve got to be in time.”

Earlier this year, Wood confirmed that Mr Charm, which includes the lines, “Who would you really trust? Is it Boeing, is it NASA, is it mad mogul Mr. Musk?” was the Stones’ commentary on the perilous state of the world.

“We have to try and keep the smile on people’s faces as well as being blatantly honest with them, you know, about that sickness in the land,” Wood told Classic Rock. “There’s a lot of bad things going on.

“Apart from the crazy people we have running things, there’s the climate and the crazy weather we’re having. The hot is getting hotter, the cold is getting colder, and ne’er the twain shall meet, you know?”

The B-Side of Mr Charm is Bad Luck Hideaway, a 2015 recording featuring late Stones drummer Charlie Watts. This song was originally released as a bonus track on the iTunes version of Foreign Tongues.
