Karla Bonoff seems to have had some trouble coming up with material for her second album, which may explain why it took two years (a long time in the ’70s) and contained covers of “When You Walk in the Room” and “The Water Is Wide,” and also why the originals weren’t as uniformly excellent as those on her first album. True, leadoff track “Trouble Again” was a gem (as Linda Ronstadt proved when she recorded it on her Cry Like a Rainstorm — Howl Like the Wind album in 1989), but some of the other material was only pedestrian.

Wide Open is Michael McDonald’s first album in nearly a decade, following Soul Speak by nine years, but a better benchmark would be Blue Obsession, the last album of original material he released. That record arrived in 2000, long before McDonald’s reputation was revived by both yacht rocking satirists and R&B hipsters — elements that barely factor into the sound of Wide Open, although their existence may have convinced McDonald to leave behind his stroll through the ’60s soul songbook.

Label: The Valory Music Co. | Genre: Pop

Teased upon its release as Sheryl Crow’s final album — a promise that seems perhaps a tad premature for an artist who was just 57 upon the record’s release — Threads is intended as a summation of her musical worldview. Specifically, it’s designed to draw connections between Crow, her idols, and the generations who followed her, all through a variety of covers, collaborations, and duets.

All of her 1964-1967 sides for the label are included, serving as a comprehensive document to the first three years or so of her recording career.
