Contemporary folk releases, week 38

· 20 releases

This week in contemporary folk, notable releases and retrospectives highlight enduring artistic legacies and new creative expressions. Bob Dylan's expansive Rolling Thunder Revue collection, Emma Ruth Rundle's album These Killing Times, and Neil Young's reflective Second Song join Brandy Clark's upcoming release The Bird and a reissue of Beverly Glenn-Copeland's Keyboard Fantasies. The spotlight also turns to archival moments, including a tribute to Judee Sill and a deep dive into Paul Simon’s Graceland era, alongside new digital access to Robert Plant’s Saving Grace EP. These developments reflect both the genre’s evolving present and its rich historical roots.
