November 15th
MF Doom - Mm Food [20th Annv]
Originally released in 2004, Mm Food is hailed as a classic hip-hop album full of inventive production, remarkable wordplay, and unique themes. The 20 Year Anniversary Edition of MM…FOOD has completely new artwork by Sam Rodriguez and is pressed on 3-color "sweet-tart" marbled double vinyl. The package includes case wrapped tip-on gatefold jacket and a QR code that takes listeners to a one-of-a-kind diner.
Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - Woodland
This album mingles full band tracks with intricate duet performances all tied together with the duo's signature sound and remarkable lyricism. Woodland was recorded in Nashville, TN at their own Woodland Sound Studio (newly rebuilt after the 2020 tornado) and cements the duo's iconoclastic position at the forefront of acoustic music. Vinyl delayed until next week.
Dwight Yoakam - Brighter Days
At once timeless and timely, in fact downright cowpunk-tual, blending a modern reverence for the history of country music with the pioneering rock n roll spirit of California. The result creates a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy that captures the quintessential Yoakam "cool" that has separated him from his country contemporaries since the start of his legendary career. As usual, his lyrics throughout are both deceivingly effortless and poignant.
The Coward Brothers (Elvis Costello + T-Bone Burnett) - s/t
The exact relationship between Henry (T-Bone Burnett) and Howard Coward (Elvis Costello) remains ambiguous. They often referred to themselves as "One and a Half Brothers," which might hint at their height difference or imply they were not actually siblings but were involved in an elaborate ruse.
Jon Batiste - Beethoven Blues
A pure piano album. Reimagining the transcendent works of Beethoven, alongside original compositions inspired by his youth competing in piano competitions and gigging in the heart of New Orleans, the album extends timeless classics across the genre spectrum. It is a way of paying homage to Beethoven's artistry and bringing it into a singular moment, in true creative partnership with Batiste's artistic work and journey.
James Brown - The Complete James Brown Christmas 3LP
You absolutely don't need to be a holiday music lover to fall in love with the music spilling out over these three James Brown records, as most of the tracks are original compositions that hold their own against many of the grooves that he was recording during this high-water mark of his career. With bonus tracks galore, fantastic liner notes, and mastered by legendary engineer Kevin Gray- give yourself a well-earned, early musical present this year.
George Harrison - Living in a Material World [50th Annv]
George's 2nd solo album of original music following The Beatles' 1970 dissolution. Lovingly overseen by Dhani & Olivia Harrison, the album has been completely remixed from the original tapes for a stunning suite of 50th anniversary releases. The new mix elevates the album with a sonic upgrade, delivering a sound that's brighter, richer and more dynamic than ever before. Deluxe 2LP or 2CD set includes bonus disc of outtakes.
