Hitting your inbox soon: Grace Potter, Trigger Hippy “Don’t Wanna Bring You Down,” Robbie Robertson “Let Love Reign” MXDWN has the lowdown on the new Pete Yorn album “Singer, songwriter and musician Pete Yorn has released his first solo album in three years, Caretakers. The 45-year-old is releasing the 12-track album through label Shelly Music with help from producer Jackson Phillips. Throughout his career, Yorn has found himself in the likes of Iggy Pop, R.E.M and most recently Scarlett Johansson for the second time on their EP Apart released last year. Aside from his personal discography, Yorn’s music has made its way onto the big screen in Me, Myself and Irene and Bandits. Yorn’s collaborations and musical breakthroughs have led him to this moment. In an interview with Consequence Of Sound, Yorn explains that Caretakers and its tracks, “are designed to grow with you.” He continues on to say, “They’re all anchored in particular moments, but they blast off from there, so what they mean to you on any given day might evolve.” Known for playing the majority of his instruments on his recordings, Caretakers is no different. The album was created in a free-willing, single day start-to-finish mini sessions, allowing Yorn to put every ounce of himself into each individual song respectively. “Calm Down” starts the album off on a very classic alternative rock road trip. A recipe filled with electric gui- tar, drums, a little bass and layered vocals all make a delicious ode to the 90s indie rock scene. “Can’t Stop You” continues the retro theme that runs through each track on the album. With lyrics like, “Can’t stop you from hurting yourself/ it’s not you who’s driving us all away/ can’t stop you from losing it all,” Yorn paints a picture of a loved one losing their grip on the reality around them and the dangers of addiction. “Do You Want to Love Again” marries an early Matchbox Twenty sound and a new age Yorn who is creating music for listeners of all ages. Life, love and loss are commonly used themes in music and with an easy foot-tapping rhythm and lyr- ics that can be memorized overnight, Yorn has created a song that won’t soon be forgotten. Tracks like “ECT” and “POV” both stand out as heartfelt ballads that can easily make their way onto an everyday replay list of songs. The album ends with “Try Me,” a track that lifts the spirits while leaving the listener with a lot to think about. Caretakers is bursting with life lessons and themes of everyday problems while creating a haze of happy-go-lucky rhythms that leave the listener feeling fulfilled.” - MXDWN, 8/13/19 See what NPR has to say about Justin Townes Earle’s new album “Singer-songwriters such as Justin Townes Earle often get pegged as being self-reflective, and it’s a fair accusation. Earle himself lingered on his own confessional psyche on his last album, 2017’s Kids in the Street, which unearthed all kinds of rocks from his past to see what was squirming underneath them. But it’s always best to remember that Earle is the son of Steve Earle, and the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree — and the father’s penchant for social commentary and mes- sage music has just as much of a chance of working its way into the son’s songs. Such is the case with The Saint of Lost Causes, Earle’s latest album. Far-ranging and fueled by both empathy and rage, it’s the opposite of myopic. “I was trying to look through the eyes of America, because I believe in the idea of America — that everybody’s welcome here and has a right to be here,” Earle said in a recent press release. Fittingly, The Saint of Lost Causes not only reflects that belief lyrically, but musically. The album’s debut single, “Ain’t Got No Money,” is an upbeat, honky-tonk tribute to be- ing broke and on the road that taps a vein of desperation; it’s a state of despair that runs deeper on “Flint City Shake It” and “Don’t Drink The Water,” one a Western-swing protest and the other a stomping, bluesy cry for justice from the post- industrial middle of America. Earle slips further into character on “Appalachian Nightmare,” a ghost-riddled folk song stripped to the bone and fleshed out with echoes. In it, a criminal details his sordid life and desire for forgiveness in terms that are nearly Springsteen-ian in sprawl. “Over Alameda” paints a portrait an African American family from Mississippi looking for a better life in California in the 1960s as pedal steel drives home a tone of displacement and lonesomeness. And on “Ahi Esta Mi Nina,” Earle scripts a one-sided, country-rock conversation between a Cuban man and his daughter in New York, a monologue rife with ten- derness and regret. As evidenced by the video for “Frightened by the Sound,” Earle isn’t afraid of using the most shopworn of songwriting symbols — the rain — and breathing fresh power into it. “Wind is picking up / To a low moaning / Feel the pressure drop,” he sings, conjuring the vertigo at the start of a big change in life, be it on a personal level or something vaster in scope. Is he singing about a relationship? Politics? Climate change? Spirituality? It’s left to the listener to decipher, and that only renders Earle’s husky drawl and sparse guitar that much more potent. It’s the album’s title track, though, that drives the bleakness home. “The Saint of Lost Causes” slinks sinuously through atmospheric folk licks and Earle’s weary observa- tion: “It’s a cruel world / It ain’t hard to understand / You got your sheep / You got your shepherd / You got your wolves amongst men.” It’s as cynical a sentiment as Earle’s ever uttered — but at the same time, he embeds a sliver of redemption: “Ain’t nobody born bad / Takes a whole lot of hurting / Therein lies one of life’s biggest les- sons.” It may not be anywhere near as audacious as hope; still, cradled in his home- spun warmth, it feels like the darkness before the dawn.” - NPR, 5/16/19 RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 8/14/2019
