Cool, New Music Playlist January 2022



Cool, New Music Playlist January 2022:


Alex Van Pelt. Global Crush

Brian Wilson. Two albums: At My Piano (instrumental versions of Beach Boys classics) and Long Promised Road (movie soundtrack featuring a new song and rarities).

Colin Blunstone. That Same Year. Shockingly good album from The Zombies singer. Who knew he still had it in him? Fine voice, fine songs. Well worth a listen.

David Bowie. Toy. "Lost" album finally gets an official release. Loving this version of "Liza Jane"

Dope Lemon. Rose Pink Cadillac

Jon Batiste. We Are. Stephen Colbert's talented musical director has been very busy with the show, film soundtracks, and ...a great album!

Ray Charles. Live At The Olympia, Paris, 1962. Utterly fantastic!

The Ronettes. Sweet Sixteen: The Early Days '61-'62. Pre-Spector recordings.

Tiny Flaws. Imperfection Blues.

Tir Na Nog. Live 1970 - '71. Extraordinary Irish folk duo.

Waxahatchee. El Deafo (EP, Soundtrack for Apple TV+ show El Deafo)




Highly Anticipated for Early 2022:


Big Thief. Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (February 11, 4 AD). Based on what we've heard of it so far, it's sure to be one of the top new albums of early 2022.



Black Country, New Road. Ants From Up There (February 4, Ninja Tune). 

Father John Misty. Chloe And The Next 20th Century (April 8, Sub Pop).

Jack White. Two albums coming out: A hard rock album, Fear Of The Dawn (April 8, Columbia) and an Americana album, Entering Heaven Alive (July 22, Columbia).

Johnny Marr. Fever Dreams Pts. 1 - 4. (February 25, New Voodoo Limited). We've heard Parts 1 and 2 already from The Smiths guitarist. He's still great, and we're just grateful that we can listen to him do Smiths songs and know he's not an embarrassing bigot, like his former bandmate Morrissey!

Lizzo. TBA (TBA, Nice Life). We all loved her debut, so we're wondering what's next. The newest single, "Rumors" with Cardi B, was meh, as far as we were concerned... More information on the new album is coming soon...

Spiritualized. Everything Was Beautiful (February 25, Fat Possom).
