Music stories from this week:

Brantley Gilbert might portray himself as all badass, but this lady, *this* is badass! Kurdish singer Helly Luv defies ISIS by singing in Iraq.

At the Newport Folk Festival, Jason Isbell became the first person to play the Bob Dylan‘s electric guitar since 1965.

A music fan in Seattle found photos of the very first Nirvana show!

Clint Black is releasing his first new album in a decade, and says “it’s not trying to sound like everything on the radio.” Excellent.

Catch up with great shots from this year’s Faster Horses Festival.

And oh yeah, a couple got divorced.
