Winter 2024

The Winter 2024 issue of No Depression covers a wide range of popular culture and current events. It includes features that explore the television shows MTV Unplugged and Saturday Night Live. It tackles social issues like the carceral system through a benefit compilation called Better Than Jail. And of course, some of the most beloved roots musicians from around the world, like Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Janis Ian, Manu Chao, and Turnpike Troubadours are included as well. The issue also includes original essays from the blues rock sisters in Larkin Poe and up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jerron Paxton. The issue closes with Paxton’s musings on education, in music and beyond. It’s the perfect way to end another thoughtful issue of No Depression — highlighting music as a way to teach and learn, and to grow individually and communally.
