Hardware

Billy F Gibbons

Rock - Released June 4, 2021 | Concord Records

Hi-Res
The old Texan proverb that "you find the best frozen margaritas in the oldest glasses" certainly applies to this third solo album by Billy Gibbons. Having swerved between genres with The Big Bad Blues (2018) and Perfectamundo (2015), the brains behind ZZ Top has gone back to basics with Hardware, which sounds like a personal jukebox of his own creation. It’s a gleaming machine that contains everything that inspired his music since the bearded trio's beginnings in 1971: blues, hard rock, country rock and even surf music. This is all original material, with the exception of a cover of the Texas Tornados' Hey Baby, Que Paso. These songs have been written with the help of old accomplices like the former Guns'N'Roses drummer Matt Sorum, guitarist Austin Hanks, Mike Fiorentino, Chad Shlosser and, on Stackin' Bones, the young sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell from the duo Larkin Poe. From the first riffs of My Lucky Card, we are treated to a full-strength Gibbons performance, with typically dirty Texan blues rock, implacable as the desert sun that beats down on Palm Springs where Hardware was recorded. The flawless Telecaster solo on Vagabond Man underscores the power of this sound: it has been heard a thousand times before, but Billy Gibbons gives it a uniquely human touch. And whether you prefer the boogie anthem La Grange (1973) or the radio hit Gimme All Your Lovin' (1983), on this record the ZZ Top frontman is really pandering to all the fans, past and present, of his timeless rock'n'roll. This album is classic, solid, and unmistakable. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz

Elgar: Enigma Variations, Introduction & Allegro

London Symphony Orchestra

Classical - Released June 5, 2007 | LSO Live

Hi-Res Booklet
Lackadaisical in the Enigma Variations and slapdash in the Introduction and Allegro for strings, this addendum to Colin Davis and the London Symphony's series of masterful recordings of Elgar's symphonies and oratorio "The Dream of Gerontius" is distinctly, even acutely, disappointing. Recorded live in January 2007, Davis and the LSO seem to be trying in the Enigma, but they aren't able to sustain the lines or the tempos. There are some marvelous moments here -- the hushed opening of Nimrod is magnificent -- but too often the rhythms drag and the tempos flag -- the tedious remainder of Nimrod seems to go on forever. Recorded in September and December 2005, the Introduction and Allegro betrays its origins with scrappy, sloppy, and disjointed with astonishingly out-of-tune playing from the LSO's strings. There are many better recordings of both works available -- to start with, try Boult's Enigma or Barbirolli's Introduction and Allegro -- this disc is for Davis completists only. LSO's live digital sound here is oddly neither as clear nor as immediate as its earlier recordings. © TiVo

The Off-Season

J. Cole

Hip-Hop/Rap - Released May 14, 2021 | Dreamville, Inc., Under exclusive license to Roc Nation Records

Hi-Res
J. Cole can come across as a man with something to prove. The Off-Season opens up with the hysteria-inducing blowout piece 95.south, followed by amari, which is strongly influenced by the Chicago sound. These choices seem to show us a J. Cole who is trying to contradict his image as a nice rapper, but for all that, hardness isn't necessarily his strong suit. J. Cole's real strength, as this sixth album shows, is that balance between modern sounds, boom bap samples and vocal melodies that he has been putting out throughout his career, in which smart songwriting trumps pure attitude. Tracks like close or the.climb.back demonstrate this perfectly. Although sometimes a bit hampered by the artist's affected seriousness, this album is nevertheless one of his best releases in five years. Listen to one of its singles, my.life featuring 21 Savage and Morray, and you'll be convinced. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz

lately I feel EVERYTHING

Willow

Alternative & Indie - Released July 16, 2021 | MSFTSMusic - Roc Nation Records, LLC

Hi-Res
Brushing genre boundaries aside once again, multi-hyphenate Willow Smith makes another stylistic pivot on her fourth studio album Lately I Feel Everything. Having excelled on her R&B, pop, and alternative singer/songwriter forays, Willow straps on a guitar for this potent rock blast that bridges pop-punk and '90s alt-rock with an unpolished messiness that is unapologetic, youthful, and a pure thrill. Initially thought to be a purely pop-punk exercise, Lately reveals itself as something more moody and angsty, the cathartic outburst of a young artist letting off some steam in a crazy world where she has to navigate regular human emotions and relationship woes against a backdrop of fame and privilege. Those darker moments -- "Don't Save Me," "Naive," and "Lipstick" being the best of the bunch -- are a time warp to the '90s, when distorted guitars, crunchy riffs, and atmospheric swirls dredged up plenty of anxiety, pain, and confusion. The lush rocker "4ever" links Willow's eras, sounding like an introspective outtake from The 1st backed by a studio band. In addition to guests Ayla Tesler-Mabe, Tierra Whack, and Cherry Glazerr, Willow recruits a pair of famous genre predecessors to inject some cred to this project with their high-profile co-signs. As the go-to drummer for the 2020s crop of pop-punk revivalists (see Yungblud, MGK, and KennyHoopla), Travis Barker lends his trademark delivery on a trio of tracks, including the hit single "Transparent Soul" and album standout "Grow," a bright romp that features pop-punk big sister Avril Lavigne on vocals. That latter track is worth the price of admission alone, but the rest of this brief set is such an unexpected surprise that it's worth the nearly half-hour investment. There seems to be nothing that Willow can't do as she adds rock to her résumé with ease.© Neil Z. Yeung /TiVo

Martha Argerich & Friends Live at the Lugano Festival 2013 (Édition StudioMasters)

Martha Argerich

Chamber Music - Released May 19, 2014 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason
Each year, Martha Argerich and her friends gather for the summer festival in Lugano, Switzerland, to perform a variety of chamber and keyboard works that showcase musical talents across generations. Highlights of these performances have been released annually on box sets that are representative of these artists' brilliant virtuosity and fine musicianship. The set for 2013 includes performances of works by Beethoven, Respighi, Liszt, Shostakovich, Ravel, Debussy, Offenbach, and Saint-Saëns, presented with enthusiasm by Argerich and her friends Mischa Maisky, Renaud Capuçon, Gautier Capuçon, Francesco Piemontesi, Alissa Margulis, Jura Margulis, Gabriela Montero, Cristina Marton, and many others, some of whom have become frequent guests at the festival. While most of the performances have an intimate character, as might be expected in the cello sonatas of Beethoven and Shostakovich, and the violin sonatas of Respighi and Ravel, there are larger scale works that frame the package: the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1, which Argerich performs with the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, conducted by Hubert Soudant, and the chamber orchestra version of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals, so there is some variety, though the emphasis is, as in previous years, on chamber music.© TiVo
