Hiccup with Delight

Sure, this week’s new releases spotlight starts off with the Avett Brothers, who just unleashed a full album of downer tunes. But even downer tunes can occasionally be delightful. Indeed, we’re digging into some music this week that delivers pure delight – from the Avetts’ divorce album to William Bell’s return to Stax; unexpected songwriting from Annie Keating and pure-pleasure rock and roll from former Dwight Yoakam sideman Brian Whelan. You are sure to find something that delights you.
