Shawn Colvin's new Live album, the follow-up to her 2006 Nonesuch debut, These Four Walls, is due out next week. To celebrate the event, Nonesuch has teamed up with Martin Guitar to offer a brand-new X-Series guitar, signed by Shawn; three runners-up will win a free, signed copy of the CD. All orders of the album in the Nonesuch Store placed by July 21 (including those placed prior to today) are registered to win and include, along with MP3s of the complete album, the exclusive Nonesuch Store bonus download, "Another Long One."

Recorded over three-nights at San Francisco's famous jazz club Yoshi's, Live features songs from Colvin's incredible two-decade career, including These Four Walls, as well as her take on songs by Robbie Robertson, Gnarls Barkley, and Talking Heads.

The Detroit Free Press gives the album four stars, noting in particular the "striking versions of 'Shotgun Down the Avalanche' and 'Sunny Came Home,' key songs from her catalogue." Reviewer Martin Bandyke calls it "an intimate, career-spanning solo recording" that "closes enjoyably with Colvin taking on Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' and Talking Heads' 'This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody).'" Read the full review at freep.com.

For more information on the Martin guitar giveaway, to listen to three songs off the album—"Fill Me Up," "Sunny Came Home," and "Crazy"—and to order your copy of Shawn Colvin's Live, visit nonesuch.com/shawncolvin. (No purchase is necessary to enter the contest.)

    Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire’s honey from a winter stone is out January 17, 2025, on Nonesuch Records. The album, which Ambrose calls a “self-portrait,” features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet. Akinmusire says, “In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept." The opening track, “muffled screams,” is out now.

It includes sixty-five previously unreleased music tracks as well as a forty-eight-page hardcover book with previously unpublished photos and a new liner note by Grammy-winning writer Bob Mehr. An alternate version of “Handshake Drugs,” recorded during the studio sessions at New York’s Sear Sound, twenty-one years ago this month, is out now. There will also be a new vinyl pressing of the original album in a two-disc package, and a two-CD expanded version of the original album with bonus track highlights from the full deluxe edition repertoire.
