Music
Glorious Day
By Group), Casting Crowns (musical
Not in a rut but in a groove, the veteran group Casting Crowns continue to explore various forms of music with each album and label them accordingly. The Live albums are dubbed Live albums, the Acoustic Sessions are marked as such, and their Hymns collections begin here with Glorious Day: Hymns of Faith. The categorization doesn't diminish how powerful and empowering these performances are, but those looking for an entirely new album should know half of these tracks come from previous efforts, and not always the ones a fan would expect. "If We Are the Body" comes from The Acoustic Sessions, Vol. 1 while other numbers are featured in their slightly shorter radio edits, making this a unique and unexpected set.

The Silver Lining - The Songs of Jerome Kern
By Bennett, Tony
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
2015 release from the legendary crooner. On The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern, Tony Bennett is joined by acclaimed jazz pianist Bill Charlap. This release continues the classic series of Tony Bennett album releases celebrating the essentials of the Great American Songbook. The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern is an appreciation of the genius of Jerome David Kern, one of the 20th centurys most important American composers of musical theater and popular music. Jerome Kern was a major force on Broadway and in Hollywood musicals in a career that spanned more than four decades. Playing alongside Tony Bennett and Bill Charlap on The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern are pianist Renee Rosnes (on the piano duet pieces) , Peter Washington (bass) and Kenny Washington (drums) . Unrelated, though sharing the same last name, Peter and Kenny have been performing with Bill Charlap for nearly two decades and pianist Renee Rosnes has been Charlaps life partner for close to 10 years.

High Hopes
By Springsteen, Bruce
'High Hopes' finds Bruce Springsteen in a number of different musical settings, and includes the E Street Band members in various large and small combinations as well as guitarist Tom Morello on eight tracks. Besides Morello, the album also includes appearances on several songs by Clarence Clemons, who passed away in 2011, and Danny Federici, who passed away in 2008, on what Springsteen calls "some of our best unreleased material from the past decade." The album was recorded in New Jersey, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Australia and New York City and marks Springsteen's 18th studio album. As Bruce writes in the albums liner notes, "I felt they were among the best of my writing and deserved a proper studio recording."

Collateral
By Phillips, Phillip
Widely acknowledged as one of the finest of the American Idol winners, Phillip Phillips suffered the shrapnel from arriving too late in the show's run to turn into a true superstar. He came storming out of the gates with "Home, " his coronation song for taking the crown in the eleventh season of American Idol in 2012, but once his 2014 sophomore set Behind the Light stiffed, he became embroiled in a lawsuit with 19 Entertainment -- another sign that he was hobbled by appearing on Idol late in its run, when all of the management contracts were ironclad. The suit was eventually settled out of court and Phillips switched labels, re-emerging in early 2018 with the valedictory Collateral. Not surprisingly, given the turmoil that arrived after Behind the Light, Phillips is in a sober mood on Collateral. That's not to say he doesn't indulge in lighter moments on the album: the heavy-footed stomp "Love Junkie" is played for grins and the soulful punch of "Don't Tell Me" isn't weighed down by somber intentions. Nevertheless, the overall impression of Collateral is one of an earnest artist seizing an opportunity to relaunch his career, so he's pouring his heart out without a care as to whether he looks foolish. Sometimes, that means Collateral can be a little stiff -- Phillips wants to be taken seriously, so he whittles away the levity -- but songcraft is song, whether he's attempting a delicate acoustic ballad ("Part of My Plan") or creating an accidental tribute to the sound of Seattle ("My Name, " which splices Chris Cornell with Alice in Chains' "I Stay Away") . With the assistance of producers Dave Cobb, Nathan Chapman, and Ryan Hadlock -- a team that covers the singer/songwriter's bases from Los Angeles to Nashville -- Phillips winds up with an accomplished record that may exist slightly outside the confines of commercial music in 2017, but it's so assured in its intention and craft, Collateral overcomes such niggling nitpicking.
