Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

Lucinda WilliamsLucinda Williams releases her album tomorrow, Little Honey, which finds the singer-songwriter surprisingly content.

Vic Chesnutt, Elf Power, and The Amorphous Strums’ Dark Developments combines some of my favorite musicians in this release from Orange Twin.

The week’s release list is filled with worthwhile music, from what I have already heard I can recommend The Courteeners’ St. Jude, Frances’ All the While, Hearts of Palm UK’s For Life, Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs’ Dirt Don’t Hurt, Nick Jaina’s A Narrow Way, and Windy & Carl’s Songs for the Broken Hearted.

Holiday music continues to released in droves, this week in no exception. You can celebrate a Psychobilly Christmas, a Jazz & Blues Christmas (compiled by Putumayo), a Classic Rock Christmas, Christmas A Go-Go or even a metal Xmas and headbanging New Year. Not into compilations? Spend a classical holiday with Yo-Yo Ma’s Songs of Joy & Peace or a more rocking time with The Fleshtones’ Stocking Stuffer.

Any recommendations from the week’s music release list?
