Bruce Springsteen - Only The Strong Survive Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Only the Strong Survive may be the first time Bruce Springsteen has recorded an album dedicated to soul and R&B, yet those styles have always been present in his music, welling up in the rhythms and outlook of the E Street Band at their most jubilant. Here Springsteen goes it alone - with varying results. Newsly app http://Newsly.me promo code: RBRMUS

Ben Harper - Bloodline Maintenance Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

The soul at the heart of Bloodline Maintenance functions as the music that bonds generations, allowing the singer/songwriter to delve into blues, doo wop, and hip-hop, all in a manner that feels heartfelt, not flashy. The result is one of Harper's richer records: it's impossible to separate the music from the message, which makes it all the more resonant. Newsly app http://newsly.me promo code: RBRMUS

Beth Orton - Weather Alive. Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

Weather Alive nestles into a comparatively hushed, atmospheric blend of acoustic and electronic timbres that's meticulous and indistinct at once. Newsly app http://newsly.me promo code: RBRMUS

Arctic Monkeys - The Car. Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

The Car is in every way a sequel to Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the 2018 album that found Alex Turner pushing Arctic Monkeys in the direction his side project Last Shadow Puppets pursued. Louche and lugubrious, The Car is rife with signifiers of a stylish, seedy past: wah-wah guitars, swelling cinematic strings, tinkling ivories, and analog synths. But What's missing?

Liam Gallagher - C'mon You Know Jul 18, 2022

Nearly three decades into his career, Gallagher retains a slight edge to his voice; he remains a rock & roll star, the kind who turns generic material into something worth a listen.
