Elvis Costello, Presented in Big-Wheel Fashionnew
Elvis Costello never followed the traditional trajectory of normal pop stars. As a showman, he's a unique class act. Song-wise, his eclectic library of work is massive. And that's what is exciting about this week's concert at the PAC.

Jimmy Thackery Keeps Winging Itnew
Jimmy Thackery is a great modern blues artist. Or at least that's how he's perceived, though he's forever frustrated by the narrowness of that notion. It's just part of his legacy as a founding guitarist for seminal Washington, D.C., bar band the Nighthawks.

Gillian Welch: The Harrow & The Harvestnew
Gillian Welch has often said that she does her best work when she's miserable, so one can assume that the eight years since she released her last album, Soul Journey, have not been pleasant ones. Happily for her fans, her melancholy has contributed to what may be the best album she's ever made.
