Esther Rose

Add Date: March 30

Artist: Esther Rose

Album: How Many Times

Label: Father/Daughter

Genre: Country, folk pop

Comments: In many ways, Esther Rose's third studio album picks up right where her excellent 2019 LP You Made It This Far left off: How Many Times features more timeless-sounding folk and country songs from the New Orleans-based musician, a style that's drawn her comparisons to everyone from Hank Williams to Jenny Lewis. But there's a new sheen to these 10 tracks: Rose credits producer Ross Farbe (from the band Video Age) with "bringing a stereo pop glow" to her new album. How Many Times, then, is the best of both worlds: flourishes of fiddle and lap steel meld together with upbeat melodies -- and Rose's expressive vocals -- to create this wonderful mix of traditional country and modern folk pop.

Recommended Tracks: 2, 1, 5, 7
