Music Friyay: Lucinda Williams, Jane Weaver, Sandro Perri

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears

Williams is definitely underrated, but her 2003 is an absolute gift - and so timely.

Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology

Weaver’s airy, otherworldiness is a dream on her 2017 album. Listen from start to finish, and then again.

Sandro Perri - Impossible Spaces

Perri’s soft, folk futuristic sound creates a modern space and playground, once lonely and other times warm. His 2011 album, especially the song “Wolfman,” has become a new favorite.
