Collins's 55th album is also the first to consist entirely of self-penned material. Also: a reissue of Cole's tribute to her father's music and new releases from three up-and-coming acts.

Véronneau's repertoire as a jazz vocalist/performer is ample in world music formats.

My wife and I were standing on a corner in New Orleans admiring some items in a shop window. Then we heard a voice singing. Memories from my youth flashed through my brain – Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Joan Baez – and I was sure this was a recording. Then we looked toward the source of the sound and saw Christina Friis strumming on her guitar and supercharging the New Orleans air.

Traces of cabaret and swing music can be found in the smooth texture of her register and the enchanting way she sings a lyric, emphasizing the underlying emotions and creating an intimate atmosphere.

A purveyor of songs that touch the heart's yearnings, Audrey Silver will serenade listeners and put them in the mood to enjoy the world around them.

Last October 14, artists such as Lucinda Williams, Rosanne Cash, and Judy Collins gathered at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Woody Gurhrie's birth. That memorable concert has finally been released.

"Woody Guthrie at 100!: Live at the Kennedy Center" is a spectacular tribute to an American visionary whose messages remain strong and necessary.

There was a lot of good music 50 years ago.
