BEATLES SEASON never stops. In recent months, Paul McCartney closed the Saturday Night Live 50th-anniversary extravaganza with a (somewhat shaky) appearance after sending New York City into a frenzy with three nights of guerilla-style performances at a downtown club. Ringo Starr released Look Up, his best-received album in years, which went to number one on the UK Country and Americana charts and arrived complete with a network-TV special filmed at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.

Jon Pardi has made his bones on straight-down-the-middle, old-school country. With his brawny twang, clever (but not afraid to be corny) wordplay, and fiddle-forward arrangements, he’s had six number-one country hits across the past decade—including back-to-back singles, “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt on My Boots,” that were both certified six times platinum. And yet, pop fans have probably never heard his name.

Before David Bowie, Madonna and Beyoncé made the idea of being a pop star synonymous with constant reinvention, there was Bobby Darin. He "could sound like anybody and sing any style," Bob Dylan wrote of the singer in his 2022 book, "The Philosophy of Modern Song." Not only was Darin "more flexible than anyone of his time," Dylan noted, but "even in repose he just about vibrated with talent."Neil Young, another rocker known for musical shape-shifting, expressed similar admiration.
