| The Black CrowesA Pound of Feathers“The Black Crowes have leaned into the familiar: hard, bluesy rock with just enough acoustic accoutrements to pacify the fans they found touring 25 years ago.” | PopMatters via Wikipedia | 80 8/10 | 74 | Mar 10, 2026 |
| SlashOrgy of the Damned“Orgy of the Damned finds Slash and his many guests bashing through the most over-played blues standards with the subtlety and grace of Axl Rose in a china shop.” | PopMatters via Wikipedia | 30 3/10 | 60 | 2024 |
| Kurt VileWatch My Moves“Indie rocker Kurt Vile returns with the sprawling, pondering, post-pandemic jam (watch my moves). Its best moments entrance and enthrall.” | PopMatters via Wikipedia | 60 6/10 | 71 | 2022 |
| Jackson BrowneDownhill from Everywhere“Downhill From Everywhere finds legendary singer-songwriter Jackson Browne still searching for something new in familiar yet comforting ways.” | PopMatters via Wikipedia | 80 8/10 | 72 | 2021 |
| James TaylorAmerican Standard | PopMatters via Wikipedia | 50 5/10 | 64 | 2020 |
