"Black Messiah" tar vid där "Voodoo" slutade och bygger på samma sound: det är mörkt, rått,<br/>jammigt och svängigt. I den mån D'Angelo har utvecklats musikaliskt har han rört sig från den mjuka soulen och närmat sig funkig rock: detta är inte så mycket neosoul som det är neo-blues.<br/>Å andra sidan låter D'Angelo fortfarande som ingen annan. Ännu mer så i dagens musikklimat, när neosoul sedan länge dött och soulen är syntbaserad med svulstiga ljudbilder. Det råa och jordnära i "Black Messiah" blir en frisk fläkt, och D'Angelo sjunger som bara han kan, med säregna melodier och spöklik falsett. Denna äldre och mer erfarna D'Angelo skildrar med ett nytt djup fysisk attraktion, existentiella frågor, politisk pessimism, religiöst tvivel, ilsken självbevarelsedrift, bitterljuv självrannsakan och bergfast kärlek. /DN<br/><br/>"Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be easily misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah. It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and everyplace where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen. It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are) but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape where these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader."<br/>- D'ANGELO

"Ruins" är First Aid Kits fjärde studioalbum och det andra via Sony Music/Columbia Records. Plattan är producerad av Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Laura Veirs), och inspelat i Portland, Oregon där duon samarbetade med och Wilco's Glenn Kotche, och Midlake's McKenzie Smith samt gästades av REM's Peter Buck. <br/><br/>Ruins är uppföljaren till albumet Stay Gold, som släpptes 2014 och som med besked satte First Aid Kit på den musikaliska världskartan. På Internationella kvinnodagen den 8 mars kom singeln "You Are The Problem Here." som är ett rasande ställningstagande mot våldtäktskulturen och där en del av intäkterna går direkt till Women for Women International.

Disc One of Travelin' Thru, 1967 - 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 finds Dylan in Columbia's Studio A in Nashville recording alternate versions of compositions written for John Wesley Harding (October 17 and November 6, 1967) and Nashville Skyline (February 13-14, 1969) while introducing a new song "Western Road" (a Nashville Skyline outtake). <br/><br/>Discs Two and Three of Travelin' Thru are centered around Dylan's collaborations with American music icon Johnny Cash including the much sought-after Columbia Studio A sessions and on-stage performances at the Ryman Auditorium (May 1, 1969) for the recording of the premiere episode of The Johnny Cash Show (originally broadcast on ABC-TV on June 7, 1969).<br/><br/>Disc Three closes with tracks recorded on May 17, 1970 with Grammy Award-winning bluegrass banjo legend Earl Scruggs for the PBS television special, "Earl Scruggs: His Family and Friends" (originally aired January 1971).<br/><br/>1967 saw a profound and surprising transformation in Bob Dylan's musical evolution. With contemporary pop culture becoming increasingly baroque, surreal and psychedelic in the wake of Dylan's 1965-66 cutting edge trilogy, Bringing It All Back Home/Highway 61 Revisited/Blonde On Blonde, the artist withdrew from public view following a motorcycle accident in July 1966. He'd recorded Blonde On Blonde with a full-band in Nashville in February 1966 but, when it came time to record its follow-up in the fall of 1967, he opted for a simple trio--Dylan (guitar, vocals, harmonica), Charlie McCoy (bass) and Kenneth Buttrey (drums)--to create a sublime minimal sound. <br/><br/>In his liner notes for Travelin' Thru, Colin Escott writes, "Talking to journalist Matt Damsker about the sound of John Wesley Harding, Dylan said, 'I didn't know how to record the way other people were recording, and I didn't want to... I just didn't think all that production was necessary.' He also went for lyrical economy. 'What I'm trying to do now is not use too many words,' he said. 'There's no line you can stick your finger through. There's no blank filler.'"<br/><br/>Dylan returned to Columbia Studio A in February 1969 to work on Nashville Skyline. <br/>"Bob asked me to be a guest on the album," Johnny Cash said later, "and I went to the studio and they just turned on the recorder for about two hours." Columbia Studio A hosted two Dylan-Cash sessions: February 17 and 18, 1969 with a band that included rock 'n' roll pioneer Carl Perkins playing guitar on six tracks (including his own composition, "Matchbox"). One of the more intriguing sonic discoveries on Travelin' Thru is "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright/Understand Your Man," as two singular singer/songwriters pay mutual compositional and vocal tribute to each other.<br/><br/>The full-day Dylan-Cash duet session included the first known version of "Wanted Man" and the only version of the song ever sung by Dylan. The following week, Cash made it the opening song at his San Quentin concert. The session provides insight into the shared sensibilities of Dylan and Cash through a variety of covers including two Jimmie Rodgers medleys.<br/><br/>When The Johnny Cash Show was scheduled to debut in June 1969, the host offered Bob Dylan a guest slot on the first show. In the days before and after The Johnny Cash Show taping, Dylan was working on the album that emerged more than a year later as Self Portrait. For the May 3 Self Portrait session, guitarist Fred Carter was brought in to augment Dylan's usual Nashville band. The "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Ring of Fire" recorded that day are available for the first time on Travelin' Thru.<br/><br/>Although only one duet with Johnny Cash ("Girl from the North Country") appears on Dylan's original Nashville Skyline album, Cash penned the album's Grammy Award-winning liner notes. A month after Nashville Skyline was released, Dylan made his first live TV appearance in five years on The Johnny Cash Show; that performance is also included here.
