Contemporary folk releases, week 37

This week in contemporary folk, new creative ventures and archival releases highlight the genre's enduring resonance. Conor Oberst's debut film 'Invention 13' features Phoebe Bridgers, while Bruce Springsteen continues expanding his legacy with confirmed new albums and a cinematic release from his final American tour. Sufjan Stevens ventures into holiday themes with 'Worst Christmas Ever!', and Bon Iver contributes a jingle for a Minnesota bar's meatloaf dippers. Meanwhile, reissues, tributes, and solo projects from artists like Cameron Winter, Robert Plant, and The Tallest Man On Earth underscore a rich tapestry of reflection and reinvention.
