Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You
October 23, 2020
Critic Score

31 reviews
His songwriting brilliance lies in adding just enough conflict or tension, just enough juxtaposition of details, so we can simultaneously strap in beside him as he launches his memory’s time machine, and keep a foot anchored in the present — such as it is.
Kip Moore - Wild World

Wild World is his manifesto, dropping in a time when we need all the hope we can get.

The Chicks - Gaslighter
July 17, 2020
Critic Score
81
25 reviews
It’s an arresting finish to an album so full of emotion, it takes a while to absorb it all. It’s not perfect, and it’s not meant to be. But the juxtaposition of slickness and rawness somehow works, making the kind of statement the Chicks have been working toward since they first sang of mattress dancing and offing that unfaithful Earl.
Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud

This more elusive, rootsy style suits Crutchfield well. It allows space to capture a clearer eyed vision of a life she’s still trying to balance, sort out and work through …just like the rest of us.
