In the Hour of Chaos

Somewhere lovely between Americana, pop, and soul!

Allison Russell is a force of nature! She’s come to broader notice through her collaborations with the likes of Hozier, Brandi Carlile, Our Native Daughters, and Birds of Chicago as well as stints with Hadestown on Broadway—and this album runs with that, working a wide range of guests. She brings together some of my favorite artists including Joy Oladokun, Brittany Spencer, Norah Jones, Sara Watkins, Kyshona, Devon Gilfillian, and Kashus Culpepper. This album aims to find moments of joy in our very chaotic world, and I think she succeeds admirably.
