Refugia Blues, the fifth album from songwriter Nick Shoulders, is a record of big ideas and
small, intimate moments. Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music, it finds
the Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon
microphone as a solo
performer, singing in a voice that's equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high

lonesome field holler. Shoulders' interpretation of American roots music has always been more
progressive and punky than the trucks

country, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse, radical anthropology, and
generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro, too, making room for love songs
and personal topics, packaging hu
mor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and
accessible, Refugia Blues isn't just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders
himself. This is a raw, resolute version of American country music, stacked high with songs that
go down easy but
linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.
