What do you really want to know about the music artists you love most? American Songwriter has the latest news on popular music’s most fascinating figures, of course. But let’s go deeper. Let’s pick through the inner-workings of a smash hit. Or learn about songs you may think you know well, but most certainly do not know the famous artists who wrote them.

Is a rising star you’ve only kinda-sorta heard about playing the Grammys? We’ll have interesting articles with backstory galore on what makes them tick as songwriters and musicians. Perhaps the singer you saw live the other night name-checked a legendary influence you’re not familiar with. American Songwriter will familiarize you with the source of your favorite artist’s inspiration.

The unique angles from which we approach music history are just about endless. Your path to music wisdom just got a whole lot shorter.

  • “When we recorded The Mirror, I had such a hard time narrowing it down. I’d co-written so many songs for this project, and I just didn’t want any of them to get lost,” said Yearwood. “This whole writing portal opened for me, and these songs were too important to leave behind. The deluxe really feels like an extension of the album, every track could have lived on the original record because they’re all part of the same story.” “The Mirror Tour is really about bringing these songs to life in the way they were written, with just a guitar and a story. It’s intimate and stripped down, which is how I love to share music,” Yearwood added. “I can’t wait for folks to hear The Mirror in this setting, alongside the songs that have been part of my career all along. It’s going to be a fun way to share this chapter.”
