The Doors drummer John Densmore has teamed with Public Enemy rapper Chuck D for a new album that will be released for Record Store Day on April 18.
The album, no country for old men, is being released under the moniker doPE, a combination of the two bands’ names. It is described in a press release as a blend of “spoken word, rhythm and raw social commentary” that “brings together generations of rebellion and reflection.” It features the track “every tick tick tick,” which has been chosen as RSD’s 2026 Song of the Year.
“It’s been an honor working with Chuck D on this project,” Densmore says. “He’s got the rhymes and I’ve got the beats … and we made doPE!”
“John Densmore’s beat isn’t just rhythm, it’s history talking,” adds Chuck D. “He’s been scoring moments of our culture for decades, and that wisdom hits different when it meets the now. This collaboration is about locking generations together and pushing sound forward.”
Interestingly, Densmore and Chuck D first met at a Record Store Day event at Amoeba Music Hollywood in 2014. That led to Chuck D reaching out to Densmore via email a year later.
DoPE’s no country for old men will be available at independent record stores on Record Store Day. Participating stores can be found at recordstoreday.com. A full list of Record Store Day releases has yet to be announced.
Russell Dickerson‘s dropping a surprise song, along with a special limited-edition double-sided 12-inch picture disc.
“‘The Roses’ vinyl signed by yours truly is hot off the press and ready to be yours by Jan 30th!!” he wrote on his socials Wednesday. “There’s only 500 so get your copy before they’re gone!!”
In the accompanying video, Russell shows off the cover, which is multi-dimensional artwork of a painting of, you guessed it, roses. The ballad also plays underneath, though it’s hard to hear much of it since Russell is talking.
The flip side features his first #1, “Yours,” which topped the chart in January 2018.
“The Roses” is the first new music from Russell since he released his Famous Back Home album in August. So far, there’s no word on when the new song will be available digitally.

Lil Yachty was a fan of some of the fallen soldiers in hip-hop, including Juice Wrld and XXXTentacion, who he said was the best rapper from his era.
“I wish X was still here,” Yachty said during an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast. “I really wish he was still here. He was so talented. Him, Juice.”
While he and Juice collaborated a few times, even completing a whole project together, his bond with X was strengthened through conversations.
“Me and X were super close. We only had one song together but we were super tight. We were always on the phone. I used to talk to him when he was in jail before he got out,” Yachty recalls.
“It was a really sad case,” he adds of X’s 2018 death, in which the rapper was robbed and fatally shot as he left a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida. “I think X was the most talented of them all, of us all, in my opinion. I think he was just ahead of himself.”
Yachty then gave a shoutout to the late Mac Miller, who he referred to as “the real GOAT.”
“Right before he died, he wanted me to come on tour with him. Then he passed away,” he said of Mac. “He was a really nice guy.”
He added that Mac was “really talented, really nice [and] really f****** sick.”
Mac and Juice both died from accidental overdoses. Mac passed away on Nov. 5, 2018, and Juice died on Dec. 8, 2019.

We are getting our first look at the upcoming documentary about legendary musician Billy Preston.
A trailer for Billy Preston: That’s The Way God Planned It has just been released, featuring archival footage of Preston performing, including clips of him with The Beatles.
Ringo Starr says of Preston in the trailer, “He was so great, he never put his hands in the wrong place.”
The film is directed by Emmy winner Paris Barclay. It willgive fans insight into the six-decade career of the legendary singer and keyboardist, as well as the struggles he faced in his life.
Preston was known for such hits as “Nothing From Nothing,” “Will It Go Round in Circles” and “Space Race.” He also co-wrote and recorded the classic “You Are So Beautiful,” which became a hit for Joe Cocker. Preston appeared on The Beatles’ Let It Be and Abbey Road albums, and he joined them for their legendary Rooftop concert, which was The Beatles’ last live performance.
Billy Preston: That’s The Way God Planned It is set to open Feb. 20 at the Film Forum in New York City, with plans to release it in select theaters in North America sometime in 2026.
Dan Seals & Luke Bryan’s “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)” (Melody Place)
Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Alabama, Tanya Tucker, Sara Evans and Jamey Johnson all sing on the posthumous Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet tribute album, which comes out Aug. 28.
“Dan was always true: as a singer, as an artist and as a man,” he told Billboard. “Seeing the way all of these artists responded when they had Dan’s voice in their ears shows how that warm truth in his voice still touches people in the best way.”
The 16-track record also reteams Seals’ voice with his two most successful duet partners from his lifetime.
Marie Osmond joins him on “You Still Move Me,” reviving their collaboration from their classic “Meet Me in Montana.”
It also features the 50th anniversary edition of England Dan & John Ford Coley‘s pop smash, “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight,” pairing Coley’s new vocals with Seals’ 1995 rerecording.

Former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert has released his debut single with his new band, The S.E.T.
The track is called “T.M.T.” and is accompanied by a video on YouTube. It will also appear on The S.E.T.’s upcoming debut EP, Self Evident Truth, due out March 6.
“In the Declaration of Independence the two self evident truths were that all people are created equal, and that everyone has the right to pursue happiness,” Ebert says in a press release. “Unfortunately, the powers that be have forgotten that and are trying to deny us normal working class citizens those truths, and we can’t let that happen.”
You can catch The S.E.T. live playing a show in their hometown of Baltimore on Jan. 31.
Ebert parted ways with Turnstile in 2022 following the release of their 2021 album, GLOW ON. Guitarist Meg Mills then joined the band.
Turnstile released their latest album, NEVER ENOUGH, in 2025.

It’s been more than four years since the devastation of Travis Scott‘s Astroworld festival, in which a stampede of concertgoers killed 10 people and injured many others. But it’s something that’s always on his mind.
In his cover story for Rolling Stone, Travis says his goal had been to orchestrate a fun event for his hometown of Houston.
“When I did that festival, I was trying to bring something to where I’m from, and when you look back, it’s like a time that was supposed to be so enjoyable just went wrong,” he says. “I would love to heal that in the city. But I would also want people to be receptive [to it]. I don’t want to force a reception.”
Though the experience showed him “there’s a distorted view of who I am and what I care about,” Travis says he has nothing to say to those who believe he’s responsible for the tragedy.
“I wouldn’t tell them anything. I would ask them,” he says. “Sometimes when I read or even hear about some of the s*** that people write, I don’t even know if they believe it.”
“I think there’s always been this distorted view of what I am,” he tells Rolling Stone. “And it’s my responsibility just to keep showing what it really is.”
Travis plans to do exactly that on the follow-up to 2023’s Utopia. “Putting my whole body and soul into the next [project], for more people to understand,” he says.
He clarifies that he’s specifically referring to those who “still don’t understand Trav no matter how long I’ve been in this s***.”

The music of Neil Young will be celebrated at a concert in Los Angeles ahead of the Grammy Awards.
The Americanafest Pre-Grammy Salute to the Songs of Neil Young, put on by the Americana Music Association and the Americana Music Foundation, will be held Jan. 31 at the Troubadour and will feature a lineup of artists performing songs from Young’s catalog. Artists participating this year include Margo Price, Rhiannon Giddens, Molly Tuttle, Maggie Rose, Sierra Hull, I’m With Here, Jesse Welles and Young the Giant.
“We are proud to continue our longstanding pre-Grammy salute tradition, and I can’t wait to see our extraordinary performers honor Neil and his incredible songs,” said Jed Hilly, executive director of the Americana Music Association. “Our organization prides itself on community. We hope this evening helps bring everyone together, as we pay it forward with a donation to MusiCares and their charitable efforts.”
Last year, the Americanafest Pre-Grammy Salute concert celebrated the music of John Haitt. Previous concerts honored the works of Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, John Prine, Loretta Lynn and others.
The concert raises money for the Americana Music Association and Americana Music Foundation, plus a portion of the night’s proceeds will benefit the Recording Academy’s charitable initiative, MusiCares.
