Holy Hell! Combustication Turns 20
Combustication lit a fire that’s very much still burning.
Amy Helm: This Too Shall Light
There are guts here, real feeling.
David Crosby: Here If You Listen
David Crosby is making the most crystalline music of his career.
Keller Williams: Sans
Too often what’s lost on Sans is any kind of authenticity.
Kandace Springs: Indigo
Playing jazz or rehashing old school styles gets an artist only so far.
Medeski Martin and Wood and Alarm Will Sound: Omnisphere
Each group finds common ground with the other.
Alice Coltrane: Spiritual Eternal: The Complete Warner Brothers Studio Recordings
Coltrane was a more fascinating musician beyond the shadow of her legendary husband.
Madeleine Peyroux: Anthem
Smart, tasteful music for the middle-aged set.
Punch Brothers: All Ashore
All Ashore sounds more fully integrated than any Punch Brothers recording to date.
