Albums in Stores – July 15th, 2016

The biggest release this week relevant to those of us that grew up in the late 90’s is probably the new one from Good Charlotte. I’m actually a little surprised I enjoyed it as much as I have. I’m going to give that Needtobreathe album a spin as well since I liked the interview we did with them on the site.

Review: Sarah Jarosz – Undercurrent

Texas Americana artist Sarah Jarosz is only 25 years old—and recently 25, to boot—but she already has four albums under her belt. Her third, 2013’s Build Me up from Bones, even earned a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album.

On the last album I’d have argued that the best song was a cover of Bob Dylan’s timeless “Simple Twist of Fate”—already one of the best songs Dylan ever wrote. Here, all 11 songs are originals, and they showcase new depths of confidence for Jarosz. Even when she’s working with co-writers, everything on Undercurrent feels bent to the same artistic vision.
