Like 2025’s well-received<\/a> Look Up<\/em>, Starr’s new LP echoes the rootsy vibe of 1970’s Beaucoup of Blues<\/a><\/em>. Guests include Sheryl Crow<\/a>, St. Vincent and Sarah Jarosz, among others. <\/p>\n Joe Jackson returns to rock for the first time since 2019’s The Fool<\/em><\/a> with Hope and Fury<\/em>. His 2023 album What a Racket!<\/em> featured music hall compositions recorded with a 12-piece orchestra. Elsewhere, Bruce Hornsby planned to take some time off after a busy period that included four albums in five years, but then inspiration struck. Indigo Park<\/em> finds him teaming up with friends like the late Bob Weir<\/a> and Bonnie Raitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n More information on these and the rest of the month’s pending rock albums can be found below.
