Alabama’s native son, Early James, returns with his sophomore album, Strange Time To Be Alive. The lyrical wordsmith conjures the ghosts of great southern gothic writers from Eudora Welty to William Faulkner, while channeling the haunted spirits of Tom Waits and Townes Van Zandt. The album evokes a timeless amalgam of forsaken blues, folk, and Tin Pan Alley crooning, anchored by his unmistakable voice that sways from gravel-filled shouts to pained, forlorn whispers.

Paul Simon – Seven Psalms (2023)

Paul Simon - Seven Psalms (2023)

Seven Psalms comes into focus softly and slowly, with Paul Simon’s circular acoustic guitar figure repeating like a benediction. Religion is certainly on Simon’s mind on Seven Psalms, a collection of seven songs that the singer/songwriter hesitates to call an album; he’s so intent on having the tunes being heard as an interconnected set, he didn’t index the individual segments on either the CD or digital incarnations.

This sounds like a recipe for disaster. Here we have four stubbornly independent artistic individuals, a creative quartet of highly-trained instrumentalists, two women, two men, each with their own moving and impressive backgrounds, four unmistakable voices, four uniquely individual perspectives on root work and euphony – and yet: sometimes true magic lies in just such an unlikely but inspired mixture.

Jerry Lee Lewis – A Whole Lotta… (2012) [4CD-Set]

Jerry Lee Lewis - A Whole Lotta... (2012) [4CD-Set]

There is no shortage of Jerry Lee Lewis anthologies — the early Sun years in particular have been ripe for compiling — so it’s been easy to overlook a glaring gap in his catalog: a comprehensive career overview. The closest there’s been is Rhino’s terrific double-disc All Killer, No Filler, but Salvo’s 2012 box A Whole Lotta Jerry Lee Lewis trumps that 1993 set handily.

Béla Fleck - The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From The Acoustic Planet Volume 2 (1999) [2001, Reissue, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

As it turns out, the Tales From the Acoustic Planet albums are where Béla Fleck sounds the most comfortable in the ’90s. As his jazz fusion records begin to sound played out, his acoustic experimentation and returns to straight-ahead bluegrass sound lively, vibrant, and fresh. As a matter of fact, The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From the Acoustic Planet, Vol. 2 feels like one of his finest albums, due in no small part to the caliber of supporting musicians.

Willie Nelson returns to his comfort zone on I Don’t Know a Thing About Love: The Songs of Harlan Howard, an old-fashioned country album released a few weeks before his 90th birthday.
