The result is pure Sons of Bill, though, proof that these guys can channel the greats without simply repeating history. With Ken Coomer behind the production board and keyboardist Abe Wilson behind the mic, Sons of Bill roll their disparate influences – R.E.M., Queen, Big Star, Pink Floyd, The Beatles – into this standout track from Love And Logic. “When I Come Around” is a waltzing ode to the small pockets of the Bible Belt, shot through with fiddles, pedal steel guitar, close harmonies and a passionate performance from Womack, who croons with confidence after her half-decade sabbatical. Newly signed to Sugar Hill Records, Lee Ann Womack kicks country-pop to the gutter and embraces a raw, rootsy, realistic sound on The Way I’m Livin’, her first album in six years. “Happy days are still ahead,” he sings toward song’s end, before yielding the spotlight to a swirling organ solo that steers the tune throughout its final 60 seconds. That’s no reason to hang up the guitar, though. He’s a working musician with bills to pay and two children to feed.

Taylor taking a good, hard look at life as he slides into middle age.

As bandmates, though, the two swirl up a sexy, slinky sound more reminiscent of French spy movies. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Dan the Automator first met on the set of Scott Pilgrim Vs. It doesn’t necessarily take a village to perform a love song … but sometimes, it does sound better that way.

With Jason Isbell singing background harmonies and a pair of modern-day guitar gods – Audley Freed and Sadler Vaden – slashing their way through boogie-woogie riffs worthy of The Faces, “You Make Me” finds Cory Branan pledging his boozy, bluesy love to his wife.
