Robert Finley’s story as a musician that finally has their breakthrough on their 50/60s is not unique – see Charles Bradley or Seasick Steve – but always impressing to hear about. After decades of obscurity, blues/soul songwriter Finley was spotted busking outside a music festival in Alabama, and the rest is history. His second album, “Sharecropper’s Son”, produced by Dan Auerbach, is out now. It’s our album of the week.
Plus: new tracks by Lambchop, Allison Russell, Mdou Moctar, Fly Pan Am, Swallow the Rat, Parannoul, Enumclaw, 2nd Grade, Olivia Rodrigo, Sorry, Fake Fruit, TORRES, Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen, Lucy Dacus, Karen Black, M.E. Netzke, Max and the Martians, Trixie Mattel & Orville Peck, Reigning Sound, Virginia Coalition, Cat Clyde & Jeremie Albino, and Vincent Neil Emerson.
