Miranda Lamberts The Marfa Tapes tops this weeks new releases – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Its appropriate that Mothers Day weekend brings a wealth of major music releases from women, including Miranda Lamberts west Texas adventure, the first solo album by Hearts Nancy Wilson, Bebe Rexhas long-awaited sophomore release and a Judy Collins hybrid dip into both present and past...

Album of the Week: Miranda Lambert follows a Grammy Award win for Best Country Album (Wildcard) with something new -- and different. For The Marfa Tapes (Vanner/RCA Nashville), she teams with pals Jack Ingram and Jon Randall to write and record in the high desert Texas town of its title, sounding as good stripped down as Lambert does in a full-scale Nashville production.

Album Title of the Week: Aly & Aj, a touch of the heat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun (self-released)

Did Ya Know?: When Tony Joe White died in 2018 he left behind acoustic demos that the Black Keys Dan Auerbach and some Nashville pals fleshed out into a full-bodied finale, Smoke From the Chimney (Easy Eye Sound).
