Folk rock releases, week 44

This week in folk rock, new releases and archival material highlight a rich tapestry of artistic legacy and reinvention. Jim James prepares to share his personal journey through a memoir, while posthumous work from Glen Hansard offers a poignant tribute to his musical spirit. New singles from Kevin Morby and Lonnie Holley, as well as Josh Rouse’s upcoming album, reflect on memory, identity, and place. Meanwhile, Bob Dylan revisits timeless tracks with fresh arrangements, and emerging voices like Bess Atwell and Emily Anderson bring introspective depth to the genre.
