Raise The Roof (CD)
Alison Krauss
Fourteen years after Robert Plant & Alison Krauss released Raising Sand, the unlikely duo return with Raise the Roof -- twelve songs from a range of traditions and styles that extend this remarkable collaboration in new and thrilling directions.
Outside Child (CD)
Allison Russell
Allison Russell’s Outside Child is so assured it’s hard to believe this is the Montreal singer-songwriter’s debut album. Russell fuses Americana, blues, and soul to create a sometimes haunting, sometimes joyful sound uniquely her own. In this way, the melodies mirror her lyrical concerns as well as the overarching themes of the album—namely transcendence, healing, and hope, all springing from a place of deep-rooted trauma. Powerful, moving, and devastatingly beautiful, Outside Child marks Allison Russell as one to watch.
Calling You From My Mountain (CD)
Peter Rowan
On his new album, Grammy-winner Peter Rowan delivers a flawless set of original and traditional bluegrass tracks. The album kicks off with a sprightly version of Woody Guthrie’s “New York Town” with a clear sound quality that belies the old timey charm of this music. Elsewhere highlights include the spiritual original “Light at the End of the World” and the swooning “From My Mountain (Calling You),” which features Molly Tuttle on guest vocals and banjo.
Louie (CD)
Kenny Beats
Kenny Beats’ visionary debut Louie is one of the most exciting, creatively inspired hip-hop albums in recent memory. Having worked with everyone from Denzel Curry to Dominic Fike to Doja Cat, it’s no surprise that he’s capable of crafting an eclectic collection of tracks that both seamlessly flow and are a vibe unto themselves. The production is lush and atmospheric, the melodies influenced by retro soul, funk, and jazz. This joyous, groove-filled record feels like a summer day, whether you’re spinning it in the middle of winter or with the windows rolled all the way down.

Black Radio III (CD)
Robert Glasper
Robert Glasper delivers another career-high album with Black Radio III . The talented pianist conjures up multi-faceted moods, with a sense of yearning and hope emerging from his assured, elegant keys. Glasper's brought some heavy hitters to the proceedings, too, with Killer Mike, Big K.R.I.T., and BJ the Chicago Kid appearing on the brilliant "Black Superhero." H.E.R. and Meshell Ndegeocello appear on the addictive, achingly beautiful "Better Than I Imagined." Elsewhere on the album, Q-Tip, Common, Ty Dolla Sign, Esperanza Spalding, Jennifer Hudson, Yebba, and Ant Clemons make excellent contributions. Black Radio III is straight up fantastic and will probably land on many year end "best of" lists.
Between Us... (CD)
Metropole Orkest
Between Us… is Anoushka Shankar's first live album since 2001, recorded while she was on tour in the Netherlands with Holland's Metropole Orkest and conductor Jules Buckley. Joined by her regular collaborator Manu Delago, she performed music from four solo albums plus one previously unreleased track, "Jannah." "Land of God" is sweepingly romantic and stirring, while "Traveller" is lively, and "Maya" is enigmatic and pensive. The enthusiastic applause on these tracks is proof of how rapt and appreciative the audiences were at these special concerts.
The Waeve (CD)
The Waeve
With the release of The Waeve's eponymous self-titled debut, Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and erstwhile Pipettes vocalist Rose Elinor Dougall have created one of the freshest, most interesting albums in a long time. The pair combines elements of shoegaze, psychedelia, post-punk and dark folk to create a lush, unpredictable, emotionally gripping set of songs. Both Coxon and Dougall contribute vocals, lending a unique timbre to each track. Coxon performs on saxophone as well as on the lute. It's an early contender, but this might be one of the year's best. Don't sleep on it!
Anaïs Mitchell (CD)
Anaïs Mitchell
If Anais Mitchell’s new self-titled release has the celebratory vibe of a homecoming, well, that’s because it is. It’s the acclaimed indie folk singer’s first studio album in years, and there’s a sense of welcome return to these songs, Mitchell’s voice hanging honeyed in the air over her warm, cozy compositions. Deceptively simple, each track packs a real emotional punch, made all the stronger by the easygoing, upbeat nature of the melodies. The ideal soundtrack for your next evening in the countryside surrounded by beloved family and old friends.

Robert Plant

Linger Awhile (CD)
Samara Joy
Samara Joy's debut album has caused quite a stir thanks to her impressive vocals and timbre. At just age 22, she evokes classic singers like Sarah Vaughan - she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition - and delivers a rich performance on favorites like "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "Can't Get Out Of This Mood." "Guess Who I Saw Today" is especially spellbinding, thanks to the wry emotion in her deep voice. "Round Midnight" is another stellar track, intense and riveting.
Heavy Heavy (CD)
Young Fathers
Heavy Heavy is the sound of the future, informed by the past. Young Fathers stripped down their songwriting to its essence on their latest, inspired by the drone of Celtic music and didgeridoos of Aboriginal music—basically, the eternal need to take music down to its very bones. The tracks here do hit different: they connect on a whole other emotional, intellectual, and physical level. And it's a wonder to behold. Heavy Heavy is a celebratory experience, an ode to being human, to being alive.
Drones [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Terrace Martin
Los Angeles multi-instrumentalist Terrace Martin draws on R&B, funk, jazz and hip-hop for his new album, Drones . It has no shortage of A-list collaborators on board including Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Bridges, Kamasi Washington, and Robert Glasper. The sultry title track addresses casual hookups while “Leimert Park” is a jazzy, spoken-word number that evokes the resiliency of the hood. The smooth, bouncy “Leave Us Be” is an easy album highlight, along with “Sick of Cryin’” with its horns and lightly tropical beat.
