The return of the vocalist offers notes to soothe your space.

100 Days, 100 nights (Daptone Records, iTunes) Sharone Jones & the Dap-Kings An honest-to-goodness soul record that’s so authentic you half expect to hear Otis Redding singing backup. No gimmicks, just 10 songs belted out by a phenomenal voice and a scorching band. |

Jukebox (Matador Records, iTunes) Cat Power Cat Power (a.k.a. Chan Marshall) is to the Rolling Stones what rival chanteuse Feist is to the Beatles. When you want a bit of grit with your whimsy, this album of cover songs plus one original song from Marshall does the trick. |

Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall Double CD (Geffen Records, iTunes) Rufus Wainwright When cabaret-cool singer-songwriter Wainwright recreates Judy Garland’s 1961 concert right down to the playlist, it should rightfully be a car wreck. Instead, his emotional homage produces an eccentric and touching tribute. |
