Kassi Valazza From Newman StreetWe all know the old saw about the definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Sometimes, though, doing the same thing and expecting the same result is more fraught with failure. Singer-songwriter Kassi Valazza, until recently based in Portland, Oregon, released two excellent records while in the Pacific Northwest, including 2023’s psych-laced triumph Kassi Valazza Knows Nothing.

Samia – Bloodless There’s a notion (a fairly silly one) that certain music – usually dependent on the age of the performer – is only digestible by a fairly narrow age group. Honestly, even I’ve been tricked by that presumption. Last time singer-songwriter Samia swung through Denver, I chose not to go, even though I’d loved her recent Tiny Desk Concert. I figured the songs – and her crowd – would be too “young” for me. That was dumb.

James Cook Texican Velvet James Cook has a new album of rootsy Americana goodness Texican Velvet, which was produced and engineered by The Great Divide‘s Mike McClure. Arrangements with acoustic guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, banjo and mandolin, the songs are a little bit dark and a little bit like a storm blowing through a rustic country cabin. And they are all authentic storytelling from the core of human resilience.

Julien Baker & TORRES Send A Prayer My Way Not every artist has the bona fides for a mid-career country album (though it may seem like just about everyone has tried). But when I heard that one of my favorite musicians, Julien Baker, was going to be part of a country project with indie rocker TORRES, it rang true to me. Baker has gone from moody, introspective indie artist to power trio boygenius, while also writing damn good songs and continuing to be one of the best guitar players out there.

Nathan McEuen – My One and Only EP Fortunately, this artist doesn’t sing with a thin tenor or falsetto so prevalent nowadays in pop music. Instead, Mr. McEuen strides confidently down an avenue of pop that’s been traveled by many before him, but not with his delicacy, range & variants. He’s an easy-listening, middle-of-the-road type who approaches his music with sincerity, with many accessible melodies.
