The album release schedule always starts thinning out towards the end of the year, but we’ve still got plenty of ear candy to devour before 2023 draws to a close. November is bringing a star-studded rock album from Dolly Parton, comebacks from Marnie Stern and ’90s “Closing Time” hitmakers Semisonic, and posthumous releases from recently departed legends like Tina Turner and Jimmy Buffett. That’s more than enough to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Empty Country - ‘Erlking’ [Official Video]

Calling all Cymbals Eat Guitars fans! Former CEG leader Joseph D’Agostino is back with a new album from his Empty Country project. Empty Country II was recorded with LOSE producer John Agnello at R.E.M. producer Mitch Easter’s studio in North Carolina, and like its predecessor, it puts an empathetic, distinctly American heartland rock twist on D’Agostino’s sprawling indie-rock epics. No one writes about loss like D’Agostino, and no one makes it sound so good.

    Obviously, obviously, Dolly gets a pass, but nobody should work with Kid Rock again ever.

      His Trump supporting should always be disqualifying, but I’d like to think that it wouldn’t have happened if he shot in the direction of some Bud Light because the company acknowledged the existence of a trans woman before they recorded.

    Dammit, apparently the duet with Barnesy’s not on the Tina Turner box set.
