R.E.M. found themselves at a bit of an impasse in 1992. They had vaulted to the top of the nascent independent rock scene in the early 1980s with beguiling songs built on Michael Stipe's Southern Gothic storytelling, Mike Mills' kinetic, melodic bass guitar parts, and Peter Buck's chiming, Byrds-like electric guitar work.

“He was strumming this C chord and as he leaned over to get his beer on the amp, he moved his hand…” Peter Buck's stately guitar work defined R.E.M.'s Man on the Moon – and it all started when his bandmate fell off a chair

Sister duo Girl Tones have released their raucous debut single, Fade Away, that sheds their classical training to creatively let out something more primordial and raw. Produced by Brad Shultz (Cage The Elephant) and recorded at the infamous Nashville studio Battle Tapes, the first single is fortified by fuzzy walls of guitar and a creeping synth line. Dynamically alternating between being sonically massive and pulling back for broken down palm muted parts, Girl Tones straddle their own line between punk and blues rock.

It's impossible to divorce Toby Keith from the state of Oklahoma. The late great country singer goes hand in hand with the identity and culture of the state.

What was considered popular music drastically changed when Nashville entered the ’80s and ’90s. Folks such as George Strait, The Judds, and Toby Keith took over the scene with their introduction to pop country; leaving acts like Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Glen Campbell as somewhat artifacts of the past (albeit legendary). That being so, this transition stirred a lot of uproar between generations and led to some animosity between artists—most notably between Waylon Jennings and Garth Brooks.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.
