Tell me more: Train's 10th studio album a girl a bottle a boat delivers a dance and pop-minded emphasis on the mix of infectious songwriting and energetic studio craft that has been a hallmark of the San Francisco-based band since the release of their 1998 self-titled debut. Train's new album features 11 solid mostly-upbeat tunes, including the catchy opener "Drink Up," similarly infectious "Play That Song" and winsome ballad "You Better Believe."

Tell me more: Legendary singer-songwriter Buzz Cason is back. Best known as the writer of "Everlasting Love" (recorded by a number of artists including U2) and "Soldier of Love" (covered by the Beatles), the 77-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist is back with a fantastic new album, aptly titled Passion. Cason has absorbed a myriad of influences and experiences that give life to the songs on the disc, with the uplifting title track, the blues rocker "Bread" (an especially lively song thanks to a propulsive beat and blasts of harmonica), power pop-meets-garage rock foray "Walkin'," and playful "Just As Gone" among the many winners here. The disc's final song "We Soldiered On" offers a fitting reflection on youth and following dreams; the song is powerful and free of cliche. Information: buzzcason.com.
Title: Neanderthal (independent)
You might like if you enjoy: Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen
Tell me more: There is an honesty and real world slant that enhances each of the 11 songs on Lawrence Morrill Glass' latest album Neanderthal, yet another masterwork out of the burgeoning Austin, Texas original music scene. It is amazing to hear how different each of these songs sound from each other, yet how well Glass' voice and literate talents weave together the works into a coherent whole. The wry "Tina Fey," melancholy-drenched "No Christmas This Year," "reggae-styled "It Wasn't Love" and traditional country ballad "Believe" cast their spell quickly, and that's a good thing.
