The Best Folk Music to Stream This Fall

Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with some warm drinks and stream some great folk music. Here are our top picks for the best folk music to stream this fall.

The Revivalists – All My Friends

The Revivalists’ new album, All My Friends, is out now and available to stream. The band’s seventh studio album, All My Friends was produced by David Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Ray LaMontagne) and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville.

All My Friends is a 12-track collection of Songs that we wrote over the past two years while we’ve been touring,” says vocalist/guitarist David Shaw. “This was the first time we’ve ever taken a chunk of time off while we were touring to go into the studio and focus on making a record. It’s always been one of those things where we go in for two weeks in between tours and try to squeeze an album out.”

The result is a more polished and focused sound than the band’s previous efforts, with Shaw’s refined songwriting front and center. All My Friends features guest appearances from Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Jimmy Buffett, and Jerry Douglas.
