CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC'S PICK: You don’t read many press releases that compare musicians to painters Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, but that’s what Chris Kasper’s does. His low-key, shuffling Americana reflects those painterly attributes, along with a solid dose of Lowell George and even some of The Band’s approach, especially at their most rustic. The Wood Brothers’ Jano Rix produced Kasper’s seventh and newest album, Sunlight in an Empty Room, and there is some of their indescribable jazz/blues/folk/jazz noticeable in this music, too. He has been around for a while, but this should be the disc to break him. — Hal Horowitz
