The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."

Toots Thielemans har länge varit munspelaren Filip Jers stora förebild och mentor: "Toots inspirerade mig att vara orädd som musiker, att våga testa olika genrer, så länge jag gör det för att upptäcka glädjen i att spela mitt instrument. Och kanske viktigast av allt, att uppskatta kommunikationen med mina medmusikanter och publiken vilket blåser liv i musiken. Det här albumet är mitt sätt att säga tack till Toots." Med Carl Bagge, piano, Martin Höper, bas, och Chris Montgomery, trummor.

Legendariska basisten Palle Danielssons enda (!) soloalbum i eget namn kom 1994. Nu släpps det för första gången på vinyl! Med Joakim Milder, sax, Rita Marcotulli, piano, Göran Klinghagen, gitarr, och Anders Kjellberg, trummor.<br/><br/><br/>Lira Gillar! "Contra post är också Palle Danielssons enda skiva helt i eget namn. Hittills, i alla fall. Även om Danielsson aldrig skulle komma att göra några fler soloalbum står Contra post där, stolt och stadigt." (Lira, Timo Kangas)
