Gov't Mule - Heavy Load Blues (2021) [Deluxe Edition]

John Mayer – Sob Rock (2021) [Japanese, Blu-Spec CD2]

John Mayer - Sob Rock (2021) [Japanese, Blu-Spec CD2]

John Mayer evokes the hushed professionalism of ’80s adult-contemporary rock on his all-too-breezy eighth studio album, 2021’s Sob Rock. Mayer has always worn his influences on his sleeve, often bringing together the bluesy fret work of Eric Clapton with the yearning singer/songwriter sincerity of James Taylor. He’s also made no secret of how much the sound of mid- and late-’80s pop/rock has informed his own work, and albums like 2006’s Grammy-winning Continuum and 2012’s Born and Raised have found him drawing upon the work of icons like Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Neil Young.

Adele - 30 (2021) [Japanese Edition]

Since 2008, Adele has allowed listeners to peek into her world, carrying them through the major stages of her life as a shoulder to cry on and a relatable presence. With her fourth set, 30, she grants more access than ever before, detailing one of her most painful seasons with poise and grace. Charting the aftermath of her 2019 divorce, 30 is not a fiery breakup album. Rather, focusing on acceptance, growth, and owning her mistakes, she’s created a time capsule for her son, Angelo, to understand what his mother was going through at this pivotal time.

The Iveys – Maybe Tomorrow (1969) [1992, Remastered]

The Iveys - Maybe Tomorrow (1969) [1992, Remastered]

The story is well-known: south Wales pop group, the Iveys, are discovered by the Beatles’ aide-de-camp Mal Evans, who not only signs them to Apple Records but produces their first sessions. Their first single, the glorious Bee Gees-like ballad “Maybe Tomorrow,” is released in November 1968, yet it unaccountably stiffs. Disheartened, Apple shelves the planned U.S./U.K. release of the Iveys’ debut album, though it does eventually sneak out in Japan and Germany.

ABBA – Voyage (2021)

ABBA - Voyage (2021)

ABBA kind of stumbled their way into Voyage, their first album in 40 years. In 2016, the group began working on ABBAtars, a virtual concert based on the band’s blockbuster 1979 tour and featuring 3D renditions of Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

The Doobie Brothers – Liberté (2021)

The Doobie Brothers - Liberté (2021)

Out on the road in the 2020s, the Doobie Brothers feature Michael McDonald, but when it comes time for the group to cut a record, the band whittles down to the trio of Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, and John McFee. Naturally, this means Liberté — the Doobies’ first album of new original material since 2010’s World Gone Crazy — sounds closer to a refurbished version of Toulouse Street or The Captain and Me than Takin’ It to the Streets; there’s no funky soft rock or smooth blue-eyed soul, just a lot of straight-ahead rock & roll.
