To celebrate The Current's 10th edition of Live Current, Minnesota Public Radio is releasing two albums, packaged together — Live Current Volume 10 and Live Current: Cover to Cover. Barb Abney is hosting a live listening party on air, and we'll reveal the tracklisting here in real time!

In terms of pure expression, no singer in popular music can touch Williams when she's calling from the lonely outskirts of Despairville.

On his third album, the D.I.Y. glam-rocker re-brands himself as some sort of demonic teenager. But Black Moon Spell is, at heart, the sound of one guy making sure everyone around him has a good time.

On the Norwegian singer-songwriter's seventh studio album, the ache and anger of divorce gets re-purposed into a loose, feisty, energetic record that finds Lerche sounding fully recharged.

The Wilco singer and his 18-year-old son Spencer record a 20-song family-band album together. There's not much contrivance, not much high-concept, just a dad and his son bashing out tunes.

The Current's Program Director, Jim McGuinn, describes a pivotal moment in his teen years when the music of Paul Weller ultimately set him on his life's path.

The Current's Barb Abney describes the process by which she and a Facebook friend have organized a DJ night dedicated to a subgenre of rock music with a -- shall we say -- memorable name.

Earle's latest songs have a new angle on the mercurial nature of infatuation; he's acknowledging how taxing it can be to live through youthful cycles of passion that flare up and flame out so quickly.

Plant's 10th solo album lovingly layers elements in ways that mirror memory, creating new constructs from floating shards of the musical past.

Ryan Adams' new album rewards extra attention: It's the sound of a genius who's only recently relearned what it's like to walk on steady footing.
