John Cale
1919
(Domino)
★★★★★

AFTER parting ways with The Velvet Underground, moving from NYC to LA and with his first marriage over, John Cale released 1919 in 1973.

I’ve long known the Welsh musician’s third solo album is highly respected but up until now I’ve never gotten round to actually listening to it.

Father John Misty
Mahashmashana
(Bella Union)

★★★★

Lucinda Williams
Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road
(Thirty Tigers)
