Alan Jackson’s welcome return after three years

Alan Jackson, Angels and Alcohol. Jackson’s 15th studio album is a warm return to form, his best in years. Highlights include the supportive parent-child affirmation, You Can Always Come Home, the wise title track and the amusing single, Jim and Jack and Hank, which might sound a bit like Achy Breaky Heart but it’s much smarter.

Jason Isbell, Something More Than Free.

Broadway Cast Album, Finding Neverland.

The Chemical Brothers, Born in the Echoes.

Pitbull, Dale. Spanish-language album.

Galactic, Into the Deep. Features Macy Gray, Mavis Staples, JJ Grey. Vinyl release.
