The Highwomen. The Highwomen. CD $17.99. RRC Price $16.19. Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby make up the Highwomen — an all-female supergroup that is ready to challenge country music's gender barriers with their self-titled debut album. Morris says, “I love that we have songs on this album about shattering female stereotypes to a gay country love song, and songs about losing loved ones,” says Morris. “It’s all real and it’s all country.” (Elektra/ Atlantic. September)
Sheryl Crow. Threads. CD $14.99. LP $26.99. RRC applies. “I became inspired to record an album of musical experiences with the legacy artists who inspired me to want to be a great songwriter, musician, and producer. [...] Just as importantly, I wanted to work with younger artists on this record, who I believe will pick up the torch and continue to light the way [...]” - Sheryl Crow. Collaborators include Keith Richards, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt & Mavis Staples, Stevie Nicks, Johnny Cash & others. (Universal. September)

Norah Jones. Begin Again. CD $10.99. LP $17.99. RRC applies. Last year, Jones quietly returned to the studio with the sole intent of following her muse down creative pathways without any expectations. Revelling in the joy of music-making with a true spirit of openness, Jones got together with various friends for brief, largely-improvised sessions to collaborate and experiment. The singles Jones began releasing last summer ran the gamut from riveting electronic experiments to starkly acoustic folk ballads to organ-and-horn drenched soul songs. (Blue Note. April)
The Strumbellas. Rattlesnake. CD $11.99. LP $21.99. RRC applies. Rattlesnake marks a stylistic turn from their melancholy, introspective releases, to an uplifting album with songs that focus more on optimism. The album, recorded on the band's home turf in Kingston and Toronto, is a musical step forward from the to-the-rafters scrappy folk aesthetic of their earlier work. The nine-track body of work is the sunny side of the street follow-up to The Strumbellas’ third album, Hope, which featured the hit single ‘Spirits’. (Glassnote. April)
