Skylar Gudasz continues her signature style of storytelling through song on her latest album, 'Country'. While songs like "Truck" and "Mothers Daughter" maintain a familiar feel for fans of her previous work, tracks like "Fire Country" and "Atoll" showcase Gudasz (once dubbed "the Joni Mitchell the South never had") delving into our relationship with the world around us and how we shape it.

Over the course of the pandemic, Gerald Clayton thought a lot about time. What it means, how we spend it, and how the past and the now influence the future in unexpected ways. His new album Bells On Sand is the result of this philosophizing and finds the acclaimed pianist and composer creating sublime new worlds out of simple melodies and space, and the resulting abstraction of time that both can provide.

Brad Mehldau, simply put, is one of the most respected living jazz players on the planet. He’s also one of the most prolific. Think Stephen King levels of prolific, but for music. Many of you may know him from his work covering some Radiohead tunes, but rest assured he is much MUCH more than that. In fact, on his new album Finding Gabriel, he is doing nothing less than searching for the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Suffice to say the album is HEAVY, but it’s also one of the most exhilarating listens of the year in any genre.
