Combs Luke: Gettin' old [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

Bryan Zach: Zach Bryan 2023 [CD]

The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."

Finley Robert: Black Bayou 2023 [Digipack / CD]

Hon är utan tvivel en av de största kvinnliga artisterna genom tiderna, känd både för sin röst, sin image, sin humor och inte minst som låtskrivare - Dolly Parton spelar i en liga för sig! Under sina 50 år som artist har hon haft en enastående och fascinerande karriär. Hon är i grund och botten en countryartist, men har genom åren, och genom sin fingertoppskänsla, blivit folkkär som få. <br/><br/>Nu släpper Parton detta album som består av nio helt nya låtar och hela 21 klassiska rocklåtar. På "Rockstar" får vi höra en massa prominenta gäster, eller vad sägs om den här listan: Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr (The Beatles), Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Sting, Steve Perry (Journey), <br/>Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac), Joan Jett, Elton John, Debbie Harry (Blondie), Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Ann Wilson (Heart) och en massa andra! <br/><br/>De framför bl.a. odödliga klassiker som "Every Breath You Take", "We Are The Champions", "Purple Rain", "I Hate Myself For Loving You", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Stairway To Heaven", "Free Bird" och "Let It Be".
