- #000000Pre-Order New Molly Tuttle Solo Album
Grammy Award–winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist Molly Tuttle's new solo album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce, marks a sonic departure from her recent work. The album of eleven originals and one cover (Icona Pop and Charli xcx’s “I Love It”) is a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus a murder ballad. Her virtuoso guitar work takes center stage on this album more than ever, and for the first time, she introduces her banjo playing into two of her recordings.
- #c46432Pre-Order New Brad Mehldau Album
Brad Mehldau’s Ride into the Sun—a songbook record of music by the late singer, songwriter, guitarist Elliott Smith—features performances by singer-guitarist Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear, singer-mandolinist Chris Thile, bassists Felix Moseholm and John Davis, drummer Matt Chamberlain, and a chamber orchestra led by Dan Coleman. Its ten Smith songs are complemented by four Mehldau compositions inspired by him and interpretations of Big Star’s "Thirteen" and Nick Drake's "Sunday."
- #3d2f90Mary Halvorson's About Ghosts Out Now
About Ghosts features eight new compositions by guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson, performed with her sextet Amaryllis, the improvisatory band featured on her critically praised albums Amaryllis, Belladonna, and Cloudward: Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Nick Dunston (bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums), Jacob Garchik (trombone), and Adam O’Farrill (trumpet). Saxophonists Immanuel Wilkins and Brian Settles join the ensemble on five tunes, and Halvorson adds Pocket Piano synthesizer overdubs on a number of tracks. The album was produced and mixed by Deerhoof's John Dieterich.
- #464c5cRhiannon Giddens & Justin Robinson Album Out Now
Rhiannon Giddens reunites with her former Carolina Chocolate Drops bandmate Justin Robinson on What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow. Produced by Giddens and Joseph "joebass" DeJarnette, the album features Giddens on banjo and Robinson on fiddle, playing eighteen of their favorite North Carolina tunes. Many were learned from their late mentor, legendary North Carolina Piedmont musician Joe Thompson; one is from another musical hero, the late Etta Baker. Giddens and Robinson recorded outdoors at Thompson’s and Baker’s North Carolina homes, as well as the former plantation Mill Prong House, accompanied by the sounds of nature.
- #000000Pre-Order Cécile McLorin Salvant's Oh Snap
Cécile McLorin Salvant’s Oh Snap comprises 12 very personal songs by the singer/composer (plus a cover of a verse from the Commodores’ 1977 hit “Brick House”) mostly recorded outside of a traditional studio environment. The songs showcase her genre-spanning tastes and influences from her 1990s childhood in Miami—from boy bands to grunge to classical to folk—and include party tracks with beats, samba grooves, and quiet folk songs. The album features longtime collaborators Sullivan Fortner, Yasushi Nakamura, and Kyle Poole, plus cameos from singers June McDoom and Kate Davis.

David Longstreth has released Song of the Earth (Instrumentals), instrumental versions of songs from his latest album, performed with his band Dirty Projectors and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder. "They say a song is a landscape, but if you add even a single voice it becomes a portrait," Longstreth says, "so we’re rewilding the meadows. For an album inspired by natural places, this is an organic development. Song of the Earth Without Us. I love listening this way because it feels closer to the experience of dreaming. Melody floats, harmony shimmers, rhythms swirl. Words, those tethers into the hard world of discrete materials, are nowhere."
Friday, July 18, 2025Molly Tuttle and Chris Thile are both at Caramoor in Katonah, NY. Ambrose Akinmusire is in Italy and Germany. Joachim Cooder is in Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson tour California. Hurray for the Riff Raff is in Chicago and Ontario. Robert Plant and Saving Grace are in France. Davóne Tines is in The Gospel at Colonus on Little Island in NYC. Yasmin Williams performs in Quebec.
Wednesday, July 16, 2025Robert Plant's Saving Grace, his first album with a new band of distinguished players, is due September 26 on Nonesuch. Its genesis was during lockdown, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. It was in the English countryside that he connected closely to this diverse group of musicians—vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown. Produced by Plant and the band and recorded over six years in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, Saving Grace features songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Low. Their take on the Low tune "Everybody’s Song" is out now, along with a video you can watch here. Robert Plant and Saving Grace will launch their debut US tour this fall, with an initial run of a dozen North American shows announced today.
