Black and withered or beating steadily at the influx of life, Bill Callahan and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, two legendary hearts in their own right, cover the Lou Reed album closer in the company of Cretan lute player George Xylouris. Wynton Marsalis and a septet from the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra blow their trumpets over the state of democracy, while Run the Jewels tread heavily to leave traces of footprints in the snow. Navy Blue releases his sophomore studio album, and songs by Sarah Siskind, Yu Su, Drakeo the Ruler, yeule, and Molchat Doma help ring in the New Year.
