Folk Bitch Trio, Now Would Be a Good Time, 2025 on Jagjaguwar
I was excited for this debut release, having caught Folk Bitch Trio (I hope this doesn’t get me flagged for language in the fediverse) at SXSW in 2024 (at the Driskill in the Victorian Room). Gracie Sinclair, Heide Peverelle, and Jeanie Pilkington are a Melbourne Australia trio with an alternative approach to Americana, as the…

The Civil Wars, Barton Hollow, 2011 on Sensibility Music
Debut album from John Paul White and Joy Williams, which originally came out in 2011. It’s a fantastic debut – I expected to hear so much more great music from them together but unfortunately they only put out one more album (2013’s self-titled The Civil Wars) before going their own ways. The title track “Barton…

Wet Leg, Moisturizer, 2025 on Domino
Eagerly awaited follow-up to the 2022 self-titled debut album from Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, here joined by Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobarki. Produced by Dan Carey aka Mr. Dan. Great energy, catchy songs, and funny lyrics – no sophomore slump here. Love it from the drop. My copy—via the Record Exchange in…

Suzanne Vega, Flying With Angels, 2025 on Cooking Vinyl
Vega’s tenth studio album and her first of new material since 2014. Bob Dylan gets cowriting credit on “Chambermaid” as a kind of alternate version of “I Want You.” “Speaker’s Corner” is a great song as well: I have a newfound sympathy For the madman in the square Who rants and raves his rhetoric Into…

De La Soul, Clear Lake Auditorium, 1994 on Tommy Boy
I love De La Soul, especially the first three albums – 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul is Dead, and Buhloone Mindstate. This EP was a promotional only release in 1994, which was widely bootlegged over the years, and includes 4 tracks from Buloone Mindstate plus two non-album tracks, one of which features…

Drop Nineteens, 1991, 2025 on Wharf Cat Records
While this was written and recorded by Drop Nineteens back in 1991, it was remixed by the band and Max Rose and released in 2024 on tour and 2025 on vinyl. My copy direct from the band.

Broadcast, Tender Buttons, 2005 on Warp Records
This was the third studio album from Broadcast, at this point largely a proect of Trish Keenan and James Cargill as a duo, credited on the album as James & Trish. Tender Buttons was also a book of poetry by Gertrude Stein that came out in 1914 – I took a flyer on the album…

Lyle Lovett & His Acoustic Group at the Shalin Liu in Rockport MA, 5/4/2025
Lyle Lovett is a phenomenal talent and great performer – you should see him any time you get a chance. He was in Rockport at the Shalin Liu with his “Acoustic Group” a few weeks ago – great show. We saw the Sunday “matinee” at 5pm, which meant that you could still see the harbor…

José González at the Cabot Theater, March 27th, 2025
Quick post to share a photo and some videos from seeing José González at the Cabot. He plays with no opening act and no intermission – just him on stage with two guitars (different tunings?) – I’m not sure he even had a bottle of water. Really ended up just watching the performance and not…
