Blues Roots

Marlon Williams' third record My Boy is this week's PBS Feature Album. 

The New Zealand singer/songwriter announces an artist emerging anew. Gone is the solemn, country-indebted crooner with the velvet voice - in his place comes a playful, shapeshifting creature. 

Julia Jacklin's third album PRE PLEASURE is this week's PBS Feature Album. 

Conceived upon returning to Australia at the end of a huge world tour, and finished in a frantic few months of recording in Montreal, "The songs on this record took either three years to write or three minutes". PRE PLEASURE sees Julia Jacklin expanding beyond her signature sound, while conjuring the ripples and faultlines caused by unreliable communication.
