The fierce Australian post-punk and garage rock trio Cable Ties have a new album called Far Enough. The feminist and political lyrics are underpinned by a relentless rhythmic pulse. Powerful stuff.

The Bob Dylan album Nashville Skyline is 50 years old today! Dylan does country…steel guitars, vocally a country croon, and even Johnny Cash. Always loved this LP, Girl from the North Country, Lay Lady Lay, and Country Pie. In your Dylan Top 3? 5?
