Leonard Cohen

Old Ideas

2012 album from master singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen.

Here are 10 new songs that mine the heart, shake the body and break the boundaries as everybody knows only Leonard can do.

A signature of our time, Leonard’s baritone holds us like the voices of Hank, Frank and Ray. These are songs that nobody knows and everyone will treasure.

Complementing Cohen’s signature baritone on Old Ideas are the exceptional vocalists Dana Glover, Sharon Robinson, The Webb Sisters (Hattie and Charley Webb) and Jennifer Warnes. The album’s cover design and drawings are Cohen’s own.

John K. Samson

Provincial

Debut solo album from the Weakerthans main main. Provincial began with a simple idea: to explore four different roads in Manitoba.  “They’re the places I kept going back to. ” Samson talked to relatives, friends and strangers; he visited archives, a tuberculosis sanatorium turned RV park, a forgotten cemetery. The result is this collection of evocative songs, an album that fits beside Bruce Springsteen s Nebraska, Sun Kil Moon s Ghosts Of The Great Highway, Mountain Goats Tallahassee. While the teenage craving of “Cruise Night” recalls the Cars, “Stop Error” invokes Bach; for “When I Write my Master s Thesis, ” Samson s inspiration was all jukebox serendipity Bob Dylan s “When I Paint My Masterpiece, ” sailing out from the corner of a Yukon dive bar. Provincial is a record full of fierce, tuneful, vivid stories.

Backing DiFranco on this collection is a remarkably diverse line-up of stellar musicians, including members of her own touring band as well as guest players Ivan and Cyril Neville (of New Orleans’ first family of Funk and R&B, The Neville Brothers), avant-saxophonist Skerik (Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Bonnie Raitt, The Meters), acclaimed singer/songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, guitarist Adam Levy (Norah Jones, Tracy Chapman, Amos Lee), and a host of New Orleans-based horn players known for their work in such outfits as Galactic, Bonerama, and The Rebirth Brass Band.

Let’s Go Eat The Factory

2012 reunion album from the Indie Rock pioneers, the first album in 15 years from the classic lineup (Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Greg Demos and Kevin Fennell).

The Black Keys

El Camino

With the hard-rocking El Camino, guitarist-singer Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney conjure up an exhilarating, stadium-sized sound in collaboration with producer and friend Danger Mouse.

El Camino boasts a no-nonsense brilliance: The pace is fast, the mood is upbeat, the choruses unfailingly addictive made for shouting along, preferably in a large, sweaty crowd. A band already at the top of its game has gotten even better.
