""When you need someone to be there for you, I won't be one who will help you out" cries a heart-broken Ryan Adams on Pneumonia's twangy opener, "The ballad of Carol Lynne".

"Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that's the case with The Highwomen. This supergroup consists of Amanda Shires (whom I like very much), Brandi Carlile (who I like a little bit), Maren Morris (whom I knew only through social media), and Natalie Hemby (whom I'd never he..."  [+]  Reply

"This collaboration between Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt is everything I'd hoped it would be. It's elegant, playful, mysterious and odd. It's like an enchanted book of grim folk tales come to life. Pagans dance around you crushing frogs and serpents underfoot while a purple miasma hangs over..."  [+]  Reply
