Catch up on the latest new music releases starting 13 April 2018
A few more releases announced.
Our list has the following additions this week – Alice Skye, an all-star Johnny Cash tribute (Forever Words), Lucy Wise, Gurrumul, Dead Horses, Tim Easton, Oliver The Crow,
The updated list shows albums recently made available and those in the pipeline from now to June 2018 – album cover, artist, title and release date, with the last category in chronological order for your viewing ease. Where we have written more detail about a particular collection or have reviewed it prior to, or after, its public issue, you can click on the album title and you will be magically transported to the relevant article.
If you click on just about every album cover, you will go the Amazon purchase page – in case that is your preferred method of acquisition.
Some album covers have not been made available yet. We’ll keep on checking back and including them as soon as we can.
If you want to add an entry, please let us know by:
commenting below or
dropping us an e-line at team@listeningthroughthelens.com.
Listings should roughly fall into the roots music category (as widely defined as you like) and only full collections – we do not want to clog up this space with EPs and singles.
With each update we include a header image from our own Jim Jacob. The picture may have something to do with the new material, or just chosen at random. In the latter case, they will be mostly ones we haven’t used before from our extensive live music image archive. This week on the header, Tim Easton (new album, the intriguingly-titled Paco & The Melodic Polaroids) was captured at a house concert in the inner suburbs of Melbourne Australia. The featured image Jim took at City Winery Nashville (AmericanaFest) featuring players from JD and the Straight Shot, Erin Slaver (violin) and Marc Copely (guitar).
