“There have been elements of Country Music in everything we’ve ever done. We’ve never been particularly comfortable with accepting that definition, the idea that I was making Country Music. But now, having been around the block a few times, we’re finding it exhilarating to free ourselves within the form, and embrace the simple limitation of calling the music we’re making Country.”  
                                        - Jeff Tweedy

“Wilco makes an understated magnum opus. Its tone is naturalistic and understated; the album was recorded largely with Wilco playing live in the studio as a six-man band, quietly savoring the chance to make music together after pandemic isolation.”
                                   - Jon Pareles in The New York Times

You may know her from her previous band Mount Moriah or backing up Angel Olsen's vocals or her other two fantastic releases on Merge. We are big fans of it all, and this latest from North Carolina's McEntire is likely her best work yet. The lilting twang in her voice melts over the modern pastoral arrangements on these lovely tunes.

Carl Reinecke (1824-1910)
Piano Concertos no. 1,2 & 4 
Simon Callaghan, piano
CD
buy it here

These three splendid piano and orchestral pieces will attract either a new collector or one who already has the iconic Mozart and Beethoven concertos and is seeking more of a good thing. Reinecke who lived a long 86 years spanned the time frame of classical giants like Schubert clear through to the early works of the birth of modernism in composers like Alban Berg. Reinecke remained a tradionalist, but in a most alluring and delightful way. These works as recorded on the ever amazing Hyperion Records label CD are just heavenly and so well crafted its a pure joy to re listen to this recording over and over, and I have.

Smalltown Stardust, a spiritual, tender and ultimately joyous record might come as a shock to those with only a passing knowledge of the artist's back catalog. Here, Thomas takes us on his journey to a place where past and present collide, where he can be a dreamer in love with all that he sees. References to his Brattleboro upbringing abound, but at the core of Smalltown Stardust is Thomas's desire to commune with nature on a spiritual level.

Faith
Subject To Change
clear vinyl LP

The fall of 1981 found the Washington, DC punk scene in one of the first of many fallow periods when a number of active bands broke up at the same time. SOA, Minor Threat, Red C and the Untouchables had all split, and a number of the musicians reorganized. Faith formed when Mike Hampton and Ivor Hansen from SOA and Alec MacKaye of the Untouchables assembled with Chris Bald on bass. Though clocking in at less than 14 minutes, the record they made was hugely important, not only to the people in DC but to others around the country and the world that were interested in the music emerging from this new hardcore punk movement. On Subject to Change, Faith introduced a layered, melodic approach that would blossom fully in later Faith-related bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace.
