Various Artists – Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine
CD $10.99
The collection features some of the best young singers in America, as they tackle some of Prine’s finest works: Josh Ritter performs “Mexican Home,” Conor Oberst sings “Wedding Day in Funeralville,” The Avett Brothers’ members tackle “Spanish Pipedream” and so on. – Full Review

The Roots – How I Got Over
CD $9.99
“As deans of the college touring circuit and the house band for Jimmy Fallon, the Roots probably spend more time around indie rockers than rappers these days. It shows on “How I Got Over,” the artiest in a string of moody, noncommercial albums that the Philadelphia hip-hop institution has squeezed out through the otherwise conservative Def Jam Recordings in recent years.” – Full Review

Fol Chen – Part II: The New December
CD $11.99
“Part II: The New December is, naturally, a concept album with a narrative thread that has something to do with a virus destroying language, but thankfully, the songs work in isolation. The music is jittery and glitchy, leaning heavily on electronics to drive them along, like a less frantic version of the Mae Shi.” – Full Review

Eminem – Recovery
CD $12.99
“This is Eminem explicitly working through his myriad issues, from his drug addiction, to the 2006 death of his best friend Proof, to his perceived flop of last year’s “Relapse” album.” – Full Review

Stars – The Five Ghosts
CD $11.99
“For those who enjoy The Postal Service songs that include a female singer, but were always left wishing they were a little less electronically enhanced, Stars’ new release “The Five Ghosts” is the album you’ve been waiting for.” – Full Review

Robert Randolph & The Family Band – We Walk This Road
CD $9.99
“For those familiar with Robert Randolph this album will reveal a major evolution in the band’s sound. Those who are new to Robert and his music will discover a fresh and authentic blues album, steeped in the “sacred steel” tradition but relevant for the current moment.” – Full Review

Ozzy Osbourne – Scream
CD $9.99
“The album has it’s moments with tracks like the first single “Let Me Hear You Scream” destined to become arena anthems, and the heavy riffage of “Diggin’ Me Down” recalling a pinch of the departed Zakk Wylde with harmonic squeals and sludgey groove.” – Full Review

Danzig – Deth Red Sabaoth
CD $12.99
Download/Listen
“I’ve gotta say it feels like coming home again – that is, if your home is a cobweb-lined catacombs resonating with the sounds of black magic rituals and the flapping of bat wings.” – Full Review

180 South – Original Soundtrack
CD $12.99
“As if James Mercer, frontman of indie standby The Shins and one half of new hip kid obsession Broken Bells, wasn’t already busy enough, now he’s contributing music to the soundtrack of the new documentary, 180° SOUTH. Along with Modest Mouse leader Isaac Brock (under the name of his side project, Ugly Casanova), the two fill out nearly all of the soundtrack’s fourteen songs.” – Full Details

Derek Trucks Band – Roadsongs
CD $14.99
“Roadsongs is a 14-track, two-disc extravaganza with some of the DTB’s most inspired playing, pre-hiatus, or otherwise. Recorded at a two-night stand at Chicago’s Park West, the band methodically burns through their catalogue with an emphasis on several of the tracks from 2009’s Almost Free, superb covers, and other original material.” – Full Review
