ALBUM REVIEW: Libby Dale Makes Her Solo Debut With 'Freehand' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Like fireflies / blinking luminescence in my eyes,” she sings. “The visions come / of things I need and things I’ve done wrong.” “These Old Nights,” from her solo debut Freehand, swings gracefully like ‘60s slow-dance R&B. It’s sweetly sad like “Sleep Walk,” appropriate for a song about worries keeping Weitnauer awake through the lonely hours of the night. “I’m up too late / Can’t I just go back to sleep,” she pleads on the chorus. “These old nights / never fail to overcome me.” Freehand, relea
ALBUM REVIEW: Laurelyn Dossett's 'How Many Moons' Is an Album of Multifaceted Songcraft (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“She can’t speak, but she can cry / she can’t fight, but she can die,” Dossett sings over a melancholy groove on “The River’s Lament.” “Poisoned on a winter’s day / while we looked the other way.” The rural North Carolina songwriter sings about a coal ash spill in her state’s Dan River in February 2014 (as she calls it, “winter’s coal-black tragedy”). “The River’s Lament” is specific enough to refer to one poisoned river, yet figurative enough to apply to any troubled waterway. It’s a folk song,
ALBUM REVIEW: Riley Downing Makes the Moments Feel Real on 'Landfill Poetry' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is no mistaking the tenderness, the warmth, and the wonder he feels for the bond they shared. It drives “Helen & Gene,” in which Downing turns family lore into a living, breathing narrative of two young people falling for each other. They were on the same train in 1942. Then, Gene happens upon a fence Helen drove through. She’s laughing at the absurdity of it all. He’s fixing the fence. Then they’re at the same barn dance. “I can see her / bright red in the face / hoping he might wanna dan
ALBUM REVIEW: Creekbed Carter Hogan Is a Court Jester of the Apocalypse on 'Peasants Revolt' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I hear it’s warmer than it ought to be / up there at the start of the Mississippi,” Creekbed Carter Hogan sings on “Burn.” “And the evergreens are like candle trees / they’re leaning into the burn.” The third track on Carter’s new Peasants Revolt starts on a tense Appalachian simmer, but launches into propulsive highway Americana at the midpoint. It’s an open-road song consciously written in the final gasps of the petroleum era.
ALBUM REVIEW: Tray Wellington Finds Two Types of Flow on 'Heart on the Table' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Walk Away,” from Tray Wellington’s new Heart on the Table, is a story song with a foot in at least two traditions. “More focused on fame from an internet flex / versus feeling the pain in our hearts, we deflect / with pictures meant to take us from our lives’ weights,” Wellington raps. “We can’t lift our eyes to really see what’s getting in our way.” His banjo, too, rides the beat as he sets up a tragic tale of disconnect and isolation. With its jazzy backing track and vocalist Lizzie No’s neo-
