Welcome back, Xplorers!

Welcome back to another edition of Record Time! This week’s playlist, Aces High, takes us on a journey through some soulful Americana, blues, and roots rock that resonates with grit, resilience, and a timeless sense of storytelling. These songs feel like they were crafted for long drives on dusty roads, quiet evenings by a fire, or a game of cards on the porch. It’s music for travelers at heart — those who know that the road is often as important as the destination.

Featured Artist: Kid Colling Cartel

This week’s featured artist is Kid Colling Cartel, a blues rock powerhouse with a sound that blends classic blues influences with modern rock energy.

Their track “In the Devil’s Court” captures the gritty, rebellious spirit of Aces High. With raw vocals, soulful guitar licks, and a narrative-driven style, Kid Colling Cartel perfectly fits this week’s playlist, embodying themes of resilience and redemption.

Kid Colling Cartel draws from a diverse range of musical influences — from Mississippi Delta blues to contemporary rock — creating a sound that’s both timeless and uniquely theirs. The music speaks to anyone ever at odds with the world, looking for a way to carve their own path.
