The indomitable Melissa Etheridge returns with her first album of originals since 2014. Her rich voice and guitar chops are as potent as ever, and emotions run strong on this new collection of songs – not the least in “Last Hello,” a poignant tribute to the survivors of the Parkland school shooting. “Wild And Lonely” is a powerful single, with strong dynamics and an anthemic chorus. “Faded by Design” is folkier but with a hint of outlaw country. The album's themes touch on healing, renewal, and reckoning with troubled times in the U.S., including the opioid crisis. More

The second solo album from The Civil Wars' John Paul White features tracks co-written by Nashville greats Bobby Braddock and Whisperin' Bill Anderson, as well as guest turns from the Secret Sisters and Lee Ann Womack, among others. It's a set of country folk that rides along pleasantly on mid-tempo guitar. “The Long Way Home” is decidedly catchy despite a dark tone and White's sensitive but urgent vocals carry the chorus. “I Wish I Could Write You A Song” sways and soars gorgeously, and album closer “My Dreams Have All Come True” is a sweet waltz that swells into something grander, floating on strings and steel guitar.

Enthusiasts of both guitar amplification and seminal drone-metal group Earth, Sunn O))) have come a long since their early experiments in testing the limits of feedback and distortion. Their most ambitious work might have culminated in 2009’s Monoliths & Dimensions , an album that incorporated a diverse array of instruments and textures into their nightmare drone, and since then they have collaborated with artists like avant-pop hero Scott Walker, proving vast possibility to what might seem like a limited formula: ostensibly two dudes with guitars making instrumental drone metal. However, Life Metal follows the precedent set by 2015’s Kannon in returning a bit to their roots, utilizing fewer instruments and focusing more on those hypnotic waves of guitar chords. The mission of Life Metal in particular was to attempt to emulate the sound and feel of Sunn O)))’s live show, which they do courtesy of Steve Albini’s all analogue production. Play this one loud, or you’re not really playing it at all. More
