One Track Mind: Elvis Costello, Jim James + Marcus Mumford, “Nothing To It” from Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes (2014)
You can tell their heart is in it. But something important is off.
Something Else!
Something Else! exclusive stream: Matthew Shipp, “I’ve Been To Many Places” from I’ve Been To Many Places (2014)
The consummation of many years of study, practice, talent and a wide-open mind.
Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson – Thick as a Brick: Live in Iceland (2014)
Whatever the cover says, the star here will always be Gerald Bostock.
Something Else! sneak peek: Dan White Sextet, “Your Song” from Your Song (2014)
“Your Song” is as dynamic and full of nifty little turns as life itself.
Paul Thorn – Too Blessed to Be Stressed (2014)
A reminder from Thorn to be thankful, in bad times – and good.
Something Else! sneak peek: Bruce Hornsby, “Mandolin Rain” from Solo Concerts (2014)
This No. 4 1986 hit is experienced anew, like it’s never been heard.
Dr. John – Ske-Dat-De-Dat: Spirit of Satch (2014)
He never stops experimenting, never stops surprising, and never stops entertaining.
Kenny Lavender – Conscious Journey, Part 1 & 2 (2014)
Daring but not self indulgent, this double album would be a risk in lesser hands.
Jackson Browne, “The Birds of St. Marks” from ‘Standing in the Breach’ (2014): One Track Mind
Jackson Browne explores a Byrds-ian jangle on this full-band version of a song for Nico that’s been laying around since 1970.
Fire! Orchestra directed by Mats Gustafsson – Enter (2014)
A prog-leaning album that is noisy, experimental and brave.
