Teddy Thompson's first solo album since 2016 is a winner. Plus, a stirring release from the Alan Lomax archives; new CDs from Joe Ely, G.F. Patrick, and Gravel & Grace; and an Elliott Murphy movie.

Soulful Americana is alive and well on the new release by Jarrod Dickenson.

A three-and-a-half-hour holiday concert from Bruce Springsteen features great music and luminous guest artists. Plus, Will Sexton and the Mastersons.

Just in time for the 2020 Grammys, here is my annual list of top releases of 2019 (including Baroness, Lana Del Rey, Neil Young, Lizzo, and Slipknot).

Three years after Leonard Cohen’s death, a new album from him appears. Plus, live Springsteen material from the '90s.

Bruce Springsteen releases live versions of the songs on his recent ‘Western Stars’ CD. Also: an anthology collects singles from the defunct Rampart Records label; Cajun music from the Revelers; and a 1972 concert from New Riders of the Purple Sage.

A live set from pop/soul singer Paul Young, plus the soundtrack from the Springsteen-inspired 'Blinded by the Light' and CDs from Dale Boyle, Big Star, and Modern Love Child.

Bruce's excellent latest CD heads in new directions but also echoes earlier work. Also, new music from veteran artists Cat Stevens and Savoy Brown, and the dBs’ Chris Stamey.

Over 40 years after its initial release, 'Max's Kansas City 1976' has been greatly expanded (from 10 to 40 tracks) and is an indispensable source of music history of a club that spawned the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Velvet Underground, New York Dolls, and along with CBGB's, the NYC punk movement itself.

2015 wasn't a year for landmark releases, but there were some rather impressive outings from veterans and newbies alike.
