Johnny Cash, American VI: Ain’t No Grave
If this aptly titled, allegedly final installment from Cash’s American Recordings collaboration with producer Rick Rubin seems preoccupied with thoughts of death and dying, it means only that you’re paying attention. For those prepared to regard this autumnal volume, American VI will prove to be a true gift. (Lost Highway)

I just finished
A Hundred Highways and I'm really looking forward to this.

Justin Townes Earle, Harlem River Blues
Being named after Townes Van Zandt and having Steve Earle as your father sets up some pretty big expectations, but Justin Townes Earle has developed his own style, one that comes to full realization on the stellar Harlem River Blues. The follow-up to Midnight at the Movies features Earle’s guitar front and center, from his palm-muted fingerpicking on “One More Night in Brooklyn” to the rockabilly strumming on the racy “Move Over Mama.” (Bloodshot)

I really enjoyed it, and I'm hopeful that he will have a successful career.
