Willie Nelson: 'Heroes'new
Unlike too many artists his age, Willie Nelson (who turned 79 in April) gets cooler and edgier with time. His latest album is a collection of country classics from as early as the 1930s and new songs that are as good — if not even better — than the covers.

Karloz: 'Tex-Bop Deluxe'new
Who the hell is "Karloz"? This is the type of album that sits for weeks and weeks on a music critic's desk as the writer works to shake their fears of yet another cheesy collection of crowd-pleasing old hits given the "Tejano" treatment.

High on Fire: De Vermis Mysteriisnew
To call High on Fire's sound "punishing" would not be hyperbole. While it may seem unrelenting and repetitive at first, it's a pain that becomes addictive after multiple rotations.
