Just Released - 2014 [Ep.11, S.4]

“Ah, but I was so much older then,

  I’m younger than that now …”

                         “My Back Pages” – Bob Dylan [1964]

In 2012, when Bob Dylan’s career reached its 50^th year, it was cause for great celebration. 20 years before then, a major concert event was held at Madison Square Garden in celebration of Dylan’s 30-year anniversary. Now remastered and expanded, the audio/visual document of that occasion reveals Dylan among friends, lots of them. A few of them have since left the stage for good. On JR this week you’ll hear some of the concert’s highlights.  

But it’s not just Bob who’s up for the reverential treatment this week. We also celebrate the career of Jackson Browne with the just released tribute album, ‘Looking Into You’. Among those who come to pay their respects are Bruce Springsteen and Don Henley.

The JR Radar confused “scan” with “Scandinavia” this week. We have the latest acoustic Folk musings of Sweden’s acclaimed Soderbeg sisters, aka First Aid Kit. From Norway, the latest Dream-Pop of Monica Birkenes’ artistic alter-ego, Mr. Little Jeans and from the Nordic hotbed of Iceland, the chilled Indie Folk of, Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson aka Ásgeir. 

Meanwhile, Architecture From Helsinki (if only by association), draws Melbourne into our Nordic orbit with their just released ‘NOW + 4EVA’.

Also suitably chilled out for this edition is Tori Amos who’s curiously titled 14^th album, ‘Unrepentant Geraldines’ is due out next month.

And we get Fonky, too. (That’s not a typo. It’s a state of mind.) Bringing the Funk this week is Kelis, with a preview of her new album, ‘Food’. On the Comeback Trail® this week, we spotted Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini. It’s been 5 years since his easy-going ‘Sunny Side Up’ album and it sounds like he’s found his swagger. You’ll hear a preview of his new album, ‘Caustic Love’ in this edition with the down ‘n’ dirty attitude of “Scream” (Funk My Life Up)”. (That’s not a typo either).
