Ryan Adams
180g LP $17.99 LDA4422
Ending a hiatus, the Decemberists return refreshed
on a compelling album that surveys Appalachian
folk, roots country, surf rock, and horn-dotted
pop. Maintaining the band’s recognizable literary
pull, it also claims a newfound magnetism that
owes to concise structures, dark humor, and
wordless harmonies that linger for days.
2LP
ALSO AVAILABLE:
Ryan Adams recently added to his
already-formidable catalog with a box
set documenting two full concerts
performed over two evenings in
November 2014. Disarmingly intimate,
adventurous, and sincere, the acousticbased Live at Carnegie Hall will
turn even the harshest skeptics into
believers—as will all of other Adams’
studio works on vinyl, including 2000’s
breakout Heartbreaker.

explores pro wrestling in literal and metaphorical
depth on the constantly surprising Beat the
Champ. Blending indie-rock structures with jazz
textures and progressions, it ranks as the band’s
most expansive and diverse effort.

That Much Further West
The Attic Tapes
LP
Recorded at Memphis’ Ardent Studios, Lucero’s
first studio album in three years blends the
signature traits—hardscrabble country, bourbonsoaked rock, horn-led blues, lived-in narratives—
that have made the band a touring staple for the
past decade-plus. Add in Ben Nichols’ disarmingly
personal lyrics, and you’ve a resonant masterwork.

JASON ISBELL
RICHARD THOMPSON Still
JAMES TAYLOR Before This World
Jason Isbell affirms his place as the
finest songwriter of his generation
on 2015’s unassumingly honest
and infinitely evocative Something
More Than Free. A deeply
emotional and hopeful album on
which the guitarist/singer’s rootscountry tunes emerge as vivid
vignettes, it’s the must-hear sound
of Middle America.
Produced by Jeff Tweedy, Still
extends Richard Thompson’s
remarkable run via laser-sharp
guitar work, witty lyrics, and
some of the most focused songs
of his career. Stripped to the
essentials, the record sounds
brilliant on vinyl, where it displays
the words, playing, and devotion
of a peerless talent with full
transparency.
An old favorite says hello. You
might not realize how much you
miss James Taylor until you spin
his first album of new material in
13 years on LP. Recorded at his
home studio, and featuring the
singer’s trademark reflections,
Before This World resonates
with connective truths and warm
comforts.

KEITH RICHARDS
Crosseyed Heart
Teaming up with longtime friends
praised in his Life autobiography—
drummer Steve Jordan, guitarist
Waddy Wachtel, and singer Sarah
Dash—as well as Norah Jones
and Ivan Neville, the ageless
Keith Richards bows with his first
solo album since 1993. And it’s a
doozy. Nobody mixes country,
rock, blues, and reggae like Keef.

Turning their sound inward, the Black Keys strip

The band’s familiar sounds dot the landscape,
but so, too, do illuminating textures and moody
devices that underline the subliminal hypnotism of
every track.
