The California country-tinged, cinematic endeavor sees the Boss reflecting, embracing the dark corners of his mind while introducing a slew of West Coast personas and an army of strings and horns. Springsteen has long been a master of nostalgia and here he shifts his sonic touch points back to the sounds that floated through his…

NEW RELEASES, 6/7: JAKE XERXES FUSSELL, DYLAN LEBLANC, BOB DYLAN, SANTANA, NEIL YOUNG, SILVERSUN PICKUPS & more!
Neil Young can be irascible at the best of times, but things were looking particularly dour when he and his band The Stray Gators rolled into Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in February 1973. Though his 1972 release Harvest was the top-selling album in America that year, Young was not in a celebratory mood.

FLYING LOTUS’ new album FLAMAGRA is a genre-bending and ambitious yet cohesive full-length from the astro-futurist himself.
The first thing that hits is the funk. Ellison’s more upbeat productions have always had a squelchy, roly-poly quality, but thick wah-wahs and clavinet gives the beginning of Flamagra the feel of mid-’70s Stevie Wonder. Boisterous jams with Anderson .Paak (“More”) and George Clinton (“Burning Down The House”) come off like Ellison strutting

Over half a century after her voice was at the forefront of America’s civil rights era, Mavis Staples is still crying out for Change. The bluesy backbeat opening track of her 12th studio album confronts recent shootings in the US before she concludes, brilliantly, “What good is freedom if we haven’t learned to be free?”…

JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE casts his incisive eye over the American landscape and finds hard times on his new album, THE SAINT OF LOST CAUSES, out now!
For The Saint of Lost Causes, Earle is focused on a different America – the disenfranchised and the downtrodden, the oppressed and the oppressors, the hopeful and the hopeless, as well as their geography. “I was trying to look through the eyes of America,” Earle says.

ESPARANZA SPALDING casts 12 LITTLE SPELLS, a dynamic and experimental collection that explores the healing properties of art, in-stock NOW on CD and vinyl LP!
Each song is dedicated to a corresponding body part, which is weird but also delightful. On “Until The Next Full,” she sings, “Our eyeballs are hollow/but presently hold shape/around a gooey filling” is obviously dedicated to her eyes, as is the sultry “Thang” with its purring demand that you “sink into your hip,”
