She amp Him, the acclaimed twosome of M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel are known for the stylish arrangements, sophisticated interpretations, and sharply drawn originals they have perfected across their exceedingly fruitful sixalbum, 14year collaboration. Now, with Melt Away A Tribute to Brian Wilson, their seventh fulllength release and first for Fantasy, the duo has crafted a love letter to 60rsquosera Southern Californiainspired pop that stands on its own as a defining musical achievement.Produced by M.Ward and mixed by Tom Schick Wilco, Norah Jones, Iron and Wine, Melt Away A Tribute to Brian Wilson is the pairrsquos first in six years and features an abundance of smartly chosen WilsonBeach Boys compositions, some universally beloved and others a little less familiar. All of them though, whether ingrained in your soul or hearing for the first time, share a flair for the dramatic. Ward and Deschanel bring their uncanny communal musical instincts to these popnoir confections and reimagine them for these times.The inviting, twangy album opener, Brian Wilson and Mike Loversquos ldquoDarlinrsquo,rdquo from the Beach Boys 1967 album Wild Honey sets a high bar that She amp Him meets throughout. The duorsquos devoted take on ldquoWouldnrsquot It Be Nicerdquo is especially revealing. Most wouldnrsquot consider touching the stonecold classic, yet they lean into it with unabashed joy. Elsewhere, the bandrsquos sublime version of Wilsonrsquos mournful ldquoTil I Dierdquo is a threeminute and 22 second marvel. Deschanelrsquos spectacular vocal turn on the criminally overlooked Wilson solo cut ldquoMelt Awayrdquo transforms the originalrsquos lush, stringheavy treatment into a postmodern folkpop gem. Other highlights include the surfrock throwback ldquoDo It Again,rdquo featuring vocals from Brian Wilson himself and the graceful ldquoPlease Let Me Wonder,rdquo a longtreasured Wilson album cut. Finally, the Beach Boyrsquos timeless ldquoDonrsquot Worry Babyrdquo might be the albumrsquos centerpiece and most affecting track. M.Wardrsquos earthy, laconic lead vocal layered over an exquisite arrangement feels organic and completely new ndash just like this album, a stunner in every way.

Nitro Burnin’ Funny Daddy Red Heavyweight Vinyl
Only Brian Setzer could cut an album with more lyrical honesty and musical diversity than anything hes ever done and then title it Nitro Burnin Funny Daddy. Not that the name is misleading Nitro is in fact packed with explosive performances. Theres more than enough volatile picking and singing to mark this as a highlight of a catalog already crowded with great albums hes delivered as leader of the historymaking Stray Cats and on his own too.But theres more streetcorner doowop, heartbreak balladry, a footstomp hoedown, several lyrics that will shock and stun longtime fans, and always, somewhere in the mix, the blues. Every track is distinctive, none sounds like any of the others, yet all of them are pure Setzer. And its all compressed into a tight trio format Setzer and his big band colleagues, standup slapbass powerhouse Johnny Hatton and rhythm dynamo Bernie Dresel on snare and cymbals whose sound evokes Les Paul, Junior Parker, and even Earl Scruggs as much as Louis Prima or Eddie Cochran.Originally released in 2003, Nitro BurninrsquonbspFunny Daddy was Brian Setzerrsquos eleventh solo album and when it was released he said it was the most personal record he had ever done. The album followed his bigband release Boogie Woogie Christmas from the previous year and saw him back to his rockabilly best, taking in doowop ldquoTo Be Lovedrdquo, bluegrass ldquoWhen The Bells Donrsquot Chimerdquo, rootsyrock ldquoDonrsquot Trust A Woman In A Black Cadillacrdquo and going on a cinematic WildWest romp ldquoWild Windrdquo.
