I don’t know what’s in your CD player right now; It’s a weird time for music, like it’s a weird time for everything. But if you’re like me, you’ve been finding solace in music. If you’ve been primarily streaming (and who isn’t?) I’d highly recommend popping in an actual CD, or better yet, some newly pressed 180 gram vinyl. That’s where Adam Levy’s newly minted album Can’t Go Back in a new band configuration comes in. Turn Turn Turn is a collaboration between Adam and singer songwriters Savannah Smith, who adds guitar to the record, and Barb Brynstad, who handles the bass throughout, and quite ably. These women have played all over the place—many projects, careers of their own—but this new relationship is exciting to say the least. The last time I listened to an Adam Levy record this intently was Naubinway about his son Daniel’s death by suicide, which Adam had put into my hand before the official release date, and I put into the player as I got on 35W heading north to Ely, Minn
