Marilyn’s Sweet Dreams
Jason Isbell’s New Morning
Jason isbell felt a rush of
familiarity when he watched the
final episode of Mad Men on his
tour bus.
As he saw Don Draper
go AWOL from his advertising job and
embark on an aimless cross-country road
trip, Isbell recalled his own life around
2008, after his first marriage had fallen
apart and he’d been fired from the
Drive-By Truckers due largely to his heavy
drinking. Isbell bought a motorcycle and
took off from his home in Alabama. “I
drove down to Florida, back up through
Georgia and visited some of the girls I had
met on the road,” he says in a husky Alabama
drawl. “It’s a wonder I didn’t kill myself.
I got home feeling and looking worse
than when I’d left, just completely lost.”
Isbell eventually went to rehab and
turned his dark past into some of the best
music to come out of Nashville this decade.
On 2013’s Southeastern, he reflected
on cocaine nights at Super 8’s, mistreating
vulnerable women, and starting over. “I
was behaving in a way that was deplorable
on a lot of levels,” Isbell says, drinking Red
Bull and smoking cigarettes on his tour
bus, outside the Capitol Theatre in Portchester,
New York, one recent afternoon.

Spin this salty jam for
the first time, and you
just might think you’ve
stumbled across a
most excellent outtake
from Nellcôte in the
Seventies. Nope – it’s
a promising preview of
Keith’s upcoming solo
album, Crosseyed
Heart, due this fall.

HOW TO BUY - Solid gold sounds of a soul survivor [10 ESSENTIAL ALBUMS BY BOBBY WOMACK]
MINIT, 1968
Graduating from
songwriter/session
guitarist to solo artist,
Womack’s debut is a
genre-busting covers LP. From the killer
version of “California Dreamin’” to a
funkified makeover of “Moonlight In
Vermont”, the R’n’B arrangements,
warm horns and Womack’s gravelly
rasp make for a compelling blend.
Benjamin Booker - Benjamin Booker Review
Rating: 7/10 - Review: Young, New Orleansbased
singersongwriter’s
feral debut
Jack White likes Benjamin Booker – and Benjamin Booker certainly returns the favour. He’s got the rasping voice (see “Slow Coming”), and the influences spanning Blind Willie Johnson to The Gun Club. He’s also got a respect for the duo format: as illustrated by the swaggering “Have You Seen My Son?” on which his sole accomplice, drummer Max Norton displays a wayward, hurtling sense of rhythm. There’s artifice in Booker’s make-up but the troubled, strutting loner, serving sizzling sides of electrified psyched-swamp blues, is a role he inhabits with conviction and aplomb. A name to watch.
Bahamas - Bahamas Is Afie Review
Rating: 8/10 Review: Former Feist
collaborator unveils
mellow gold
“I’ve got all the time in
the world – don’t you want some of that?” asks
Afie Jurvanen four songs into his third album.
Like his pseudonym, it’s indicative of the
Toronto musician’s laidback, warm nature:
Bahamas Is Afie drifts effortlessly from such
easygoing, blue-eyed soul – also evident on the
brassy “Stronger Than That” – to autumnal
campfire acoustics, reminiscent of the work of
overlooked fellow Canuck Paul Hayden Desser.
Blessed by an amiably husky voice, Jurvanen
unfurls elegant melodies amid intelligent,
economical arrangements, with the delightfully
understated strings and flute of “Can’t Take
You With Me” a particularly tender highlight.
Marc Almond - Ten Plagues Review and Music Video
Rating: 6/10 - Love and death during
the Great Plague
Playwright Mark Ravenhill
and composerConor
Mitchell’s song cycle
about the 1665 bubonic plague debuted
at the Edinburgh Festival in 2011 before
moving to Wilton’s Music Hall in Tower
Hamlets, East London. Written specifically
for Almond, it followed a year in the life of
a London-dwelling survivor and his struggle
to come to terms with the death of friends and
family, and the near destruction of his city.
Accompanied only by piano in this studio
recording, Almond has certainly been in
better voice, although he still manages to
bring enormous depth and poignancy to
Ravenhill’s libretto and its echoes of the
AIDS crisis.
