New Reviews for April 19, 2024
EMI Records / Monkeywrench
An unexpectedly sleek and streamlined evocation of the alt-rock band's 1990s prime.
Verve
The great songwriter and producer's first set of new songs in almost 20 years is simple, eloquent, and emotionally powerful.
Pure Noise
The band's tenth album is packed with the surging emotions and melodies fans expect, as well as a surprising amount of wisdom and joy.
Big Machine Records
The late country-pop singer's 2011 record Ghost on the Canvas is revised as a duets album.
Communion Records
A jazzier, more collaborative fifth album from the U.K. singer/songwriter, informed by working with Logic and Kwes., and inspired by major life events.
Blue Note
The guitarist leads his trio on this lush orchestral collaboration with arranger Michael Gibbs.
Ipecac
Monolithic five-track full-length from these heroes of heaviness that was collaged together and expanded on from heavily edited source material.

1947
Bunk Johnson had a rather unlikely career. Completely forgotten and out of music by the late '30s, he was given a new set of teeth and a trumpet and hailed as a legend. Johnson made an impressive comeback, but excessive drinking resulted in an erratic and short-lived career. Both overpraised by some and dismissed by others, Johnson was actually a fine player when he was at his best. His final recording, which appears here along with two alternate takes, was arguably his best.
