Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard named her debut solo album, 'Jaime,' after her older sister who died as a teenager. She debuts songs from the album live at St. Paul's Palace Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 19.

On 'Thrashing Thru The Passion,' The Hold Steady grip tight to their core ingredients: thundering guitar riffs accompanied by the unmistakable timbre of Craig Finn's vocals - and they sound better than ever.

While their name is an homage to the classic country collaboration - The Highwomen flip country cliches upside down on their self-titled debut that has taken the music press by storm.

It's the highly-anticipated sixth studio album from the postmodern chanteuse, and although the folk-flavored arrangements don't break Del Rey's well-established melancholy mold, it's an inviting and often witty effort: on the album cover, she's extending a hand to welcome you on board.

The latest record from Sleater-Kinney bears several hidden treasures and is a successful mix of spaciness and brawn.

Bon Iver has embraced the idea of passing the mic, and using his gigantic platform to lift up the voices of the marginalized on 'i,i'.

Heavily laced with electronics and still steeped in a process that mystifies the most dedicated fans, Thom Yorke and longtime collaborator and producer, Nigel Godrich, deliver an album that is arguably Yorke's best solo work to date.

'Fever Dream' sees Of Monsters and Men melding fresh electronic washes of sound, married to their traditional acoustic roots.

The album is 22 songs of Chance's genius at work along with an impressive list of credits spanning from Nicki Minaj to Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Coco Rosie to Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie.

For the first time ever Steve Earle is new this week at twenty. His latest album is a tribute to his musical hero and mentor Guy Clark and this is the lead off track.
