It is first and foremost a celebration of songwriting as an art form. The trick is to make it sound so easy and effortless, but where many have tried and failed miserably, Spygenius pushes all the right buttons at the right time and in the correct order.

I'm always in awe when I listen to Rust Never Sleeps. Close to a cathartic experience. And I made my 88-year-old dad with Alzheimer's love it. The 1st acoustic side is contemplative, splendid. But the electric side is where things get really good. Powderfinger alone is worth the price of the record.

Jess Williamson’s 6th LP is a desert curiosity shop’s worth of inspirations pulling storytelling techniques from Lucinda Williams’ gravel-road realism, a dash of Leonard Cohen’s everyday spirituality, and the delivery of so many worn-leather country starlets.

This year I became a big fan of live LPs. Spent most of the weekend listening to country legends (modern and classic names) : Willie, Hank, Patsy, Emmylou, Zach Bryan, Rosanne Cash. And, of course, Johnny. What a superb live recording this is. Intense, gritty, entertaining; staggering performance.
