Warner Bros. Records – March 22nd
The last time we heard from Jenny Lewis, she was joining forces with Tennessee Thomas and Erika Forster for 2016’s brilliant NAF record. It’s always good to have her back, with new record On The Line featuring ex-Beatle/ex-Thomas The Tank Engine star Ringo, and Beck. Apparently Jenny’s keen to ‘shed the rainbow’ from The Voyager, and we’re in – we’re all in – if that’s responsible for the gorgeous ‘Dogwood’, where Lewis’s alt-country vocals are beautifully accompanied by lo-fi piano. Unfortunately ‘Red Bull & Hennessy’, with its Fleetwood Mac vibe, is just… okay-ish. Still, whilst long-time fans may miss the Watson Twins, or something about foxes portions, ‘Rabbit Hole’ will stick in your head for weeks. And that’s almost enough for us.
