SLUG Soundwaves is back with another review episode, where listeners can hear our online-exclusive music reviews in audio format, read by the author themself. This week, SLUG Editorial Assistant Alton Barnhart reads his review of Eminem’s newest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The years since Eminem’s 2010 album Recovery haven’t been kind to the Detroit superstar. Unable to create anything in the last 14 years that has come close to his near-perfect album The Marshall Mathers LP, Mathers has resorted to symbolically murdering his former self in his most jaded and misguided project yet.

Episode #492 — Sammy Brue

Musician Sammy Brue is folksy artist with a vision. His latest project chronicles the life of American singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle, using Earle’s journals gifted to Brue. With inspirations like Robert Johnston and Woody Guthrie, Brue hopes the album will tell an “emotional, existential” story that perserves Earle’s legacy.
