Samantha Crain ‘Under Branch & Thorn & Tree’ Album Review

Samantha Crain’s fourth album is a finely wrought affair, suffused with poetic lyrics and gorgeous singing.

It was January of 1967 when the Beatles conducted a 34-hour marathon that resulted in one of the most influential songs in rock history.

Conjuring up the smoky soul of Sam Cooke, the debut album from Leon Bridges is a compelling old-school triumph.

The Prince of Elegance returns with ‘Avonmore’, his finest album in years, redolent with the sheen of Roxy Music.

Olenka and the Autumn Lovers’ ‘Hard Times’ is a perfect album for the change in season: melancholy, gorgeous and powerful.

The new album from Walter Salas-Humara is as original, as understated and as necessary as music gets these days.
