At Folsom Prison is a live album by Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in May 1968. After his 1955 song "Folsom Prison Blues", Cash had been interested in recording a performance at a prison. His idea was put on hold until 1967, when personnel changes at Columbia Records put Bob Johnston in charge of producing Cash's material. Cash had recently controlled his drug abuse problems, and was looking to turn his career around after several years of limited commercial success. Backed by June Carter, Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three, Cash performed two shows at Folsom State Prison in California on January 13, 1968.

Who is in a bad mood here, Max Raabe asks with his new album and sings about love, about its tender blossoming and fading, about feelings and their confusion. It is about the amalgamation of happiness and doubt, of euphoria and insecurity, of joy in others and quarrels with oneself.

Lorne Balfe is a Scottish composer and music producer who has worked on various film, television, and video game projects (Luther, His Dark Materials, Black Adam, Churchill, Top Gun…). The "Tetris Effect: Connected" soundtrack features a mix of electronic and orchestral music, with a focus on immersive and atmospheric soundscapes.

30 Greatest Hits zeroes in on Aretha Franklin's prime recording period for Atlantic, from her breakout in 1967 with 'I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)' through the end of 1974, during which the Queen of Soul truly reigned over the charts she averaged over one pop hit every two months. This two-disc set delivers all of her classics ('Respect,' 'Do Right Woman, Do Right Man,' '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,' 'Chain of Fools,' 'Think,' 'Spanish Harlem,' 'Rock Steady'), plus much more excellent material for those who won't recognize much more than the songs (and there are quite a few) that have entered the cultural consciousness ('I Say a Little Prayer,' 'The Weight,' 'Spirit in the Dark,' 'Day Dreaming'). It's a great foundation to any collection that has yet to be equaled by a pair of Rhino sets, the two-volume Very Best of Aretha Franklin from 1994 and Aretha's Best from 2001.

Saxophonist John Pål Inderberg (b. 1950) and bassist Bjørn Alterhaug (b. 1945) are among the most respected jazz musicians in Norway. During more than 50 years of collaboration in different combinations the idea came on making a duo-album.

He had done it years ago, first with Blues for the Working Class, which dealt with the issues of safety in the workplace (a topic in which Tenca is particularly expert and involved); then, with Wake up nation, which is ten years old, but which is still very current; finally, with Love is the only law, which sees the collaboration of the great bluesman Guy Davis. Now, after a break of a few years, the blues is once again pressing the accelerator of emotions, the social and political situation is far from being improved, and the eleven songs of the new work constitute a manifesto of what Tenca thinks is the duty of a bluesman today: to continue singing, to denounce, to invite reflection, beyond the ideological fences and various mystifying propagandas.

Women composers had great difficulty in making their voices heard and gaining recognition during their lifetimes. Even today, they are all too rarely heard in the concert hall or the opera house. That situation obviously cries out for a change in attitude, but then come the questions: all right, let’s programme women composers, but which ones, and which of their works? In this eight-CD set featuring several hundred performers, the Palazzetto Bru Zane offers its initial answer as far as nineteenth-century France is concerned. The selections range over chamber music, orchestral works, piano pieces and songs. They highlight twenty-one female creators, from already identified personalities like Hélène de Montgeroult, Louise Farrenc, Pauline Viardot, Marie Jaëll and Mel Bonis to such completely unknown figures as Charlotte Sohy, Madeleine Jaeger, Marthe Grumbach, Jeanne Danglas, Hedwige Chrétien and Madeleine Lemariey. From now on, there will be no excuse for ignoring Romantic women composers.

Known for one of the world's most popular operas, Carmen, Georges Bizet deserves attention as well for other works of remarkable melodic charm. Many of his works received cool receptions upon their premieres but are now considered central to the repertory of classical music.

Berlioz, the passionate, ardent, irrepressible genius of French Romanticism, left a rich and original oeuvre which exerted a profound influence on 19th century music. Berlioz developed a profound affinity toward music and literature as a child. Sent to Paris at 17 to study medicine, he was enchanted by Gluck's operas, firmly deciding to become a composer.

Bohuslän Big Band meets one of Sweden's most creative and innovative composers and jazz singers – Lina Nyberg. The concert is based on the suite in seven parts that Lina Nyberg wrote for Bohuslän Big Band, but also presents her as composer, arranger, conductor and singer. Each part of the suite is dedicated to a composer or musician who was important to her. During the concert, you will also hear music that Lina has selected, in addition to her own works. These are pieces that had great meaning for her and reflect her love for the big band genre. A well-balanced mix of new and old. The premiere will be in Vara in October 2022, then the production will go on tour in the spring of 2023.

There's the title cut: or rather, the George Shearing instrumental to which Indin has set her own lyrics, and whose title "And then I wrote" she (re)makes her own, in tribute to the female poets she has mobilised for her project. Indin's feisty words against Shearing's cool vibe create a productive tension, as the female practitioner of a male- dominated craft takes over the "master's tools", not so much to dismantle his house as to rebuild it, driven both by her need for liberation "Speak your mind, pronounce it" and by her desire for a revivification of a revered tradition "I first heard this song / I had to hum along, / N' then I wrote these lines / Substantial words that rhyme." Rather than being cowed by her great predecessors, or crushed by the continuing injustices of her age ("Bewildered as I am / In these modern times"), Indin resolves to make her mark, on the musical world and in her life as a woman and mother. Because, as she writes, "Who gives in speechless? / Careless? Wordless?" Well, not Sonja Indin, that's for sure.

Debuting in 2018 as the UK's new angry young men, Shame was at once a breath of fresh air and a kick in the teeth: an awesome guitar band that didn't care a whit about the winking irony of Britpop and railed against Brexit, Teresa May, selling out and more. The group's second outing, 2021's Drunk Tank Pink, was incredibly ambitious—and, at times, overly complicated.
