A few random thoughts and/or initial impressions ....
I really like that Rosali album. The rest of the releases I've been sampling; that one, I heard a couple of songs, then skipped back to the first song and started listening through. The arrangements are so well done and enticing, they drew me in.
I'm glad you called my attention to the Jonathan Peyton album. Really well crafted. The Isbell comparison is apt. First the sound is similar, but you can also tell that both pay a lot of attention to the words - getting them to flow and that they have something to say or reveal. (By the way, I understand that Abigail is his wife and she sings backup on all the songs besides the duet on "To the Country.)
In the past, I’ve always liked the sound of The Black Crowes, but generally wish their songs were better. Having said that, I think the new comeback album is pretty good. “Wanting and Waiting" is the one I've liked the best so far. “Flesh Wounds” has the makings of a classic, but I feel it gets too busy for its own good unfortunately.
Thanks for the feedback, Dean. I figured that was Abigail singing on all of Nothing Here's the Same and appreciate the confirmation it's his wife. Glad you found something to like in listening to it. And yeah, that Rosali album is great.
I love that Mary Timony so so much!
You have good taste.

Need that Rosali record
Noted.
I'm smitten with 'Tigers Blood'.
Sounds better the more you listen.
