All Things Considered Live: Harry Connick Jr. at Newport Jazz Festival 2004

When Harry Connick Jr. took the stage at the Newport Jazz Festival in 2004, he did more than perform — he reaffirmed why he remains one of contemporary jazz’s most dynamic voices and pianists.

Broadcast as part of All Things Considered Live, this full concert capture transports listeners directly to Newport, Rhode Island, on October 12, 2004.

From the opening elegance of “The Other Hours” to the rhythmic lift of “What a Waste,” Connick balances technical precision with emotional elasticity. His piano phrasing is crisp yet fluid; his vocals warm yet disciplined. Swing, storytelling, improvisation — all arrive naturally.

For jazz aficionados, this performance is archival gold.
For new listeners, it is a masterclass in contemporary jazz craftsmanship.

All Things Considered Live airs special sets from the Newport Festival and NPR showcases.

Brandi Carlile, one of modern music’s most compelling voices, is back with an album that fans and critics alike are calling a triumph. Returning to Myself, released on October 24, 2025 via Interscope Records and Lost Highway, is a deeply personal work that revisits the singer-songwriter foundations that first brought Carlile to prominence while exploring new emotional and musical terrains. Tonight, listeners have the chance to dive into her latest work during the NRN Radio Show segment Unveiling the Enchantment: A Very Special Handpicked New Release by Your Favorite Music Artist, highlighting selected tracks and behind-the-scenes insights from Carlile herself.

Critical Acclaim: A Universal Consensus
Returning to Myself has garnered overwhelming praise, achieving a Metascore of 82 from seven professional reviews. Every critic surveyed praised the album, a rare feat that underscores its resonance across diverse audiences.

Variety describes the work as a “singer/songwriter record in the classic sense,” highlighting its intimate, transformative qualities reminiscent of 1970s LPs, where each note and lyric invites listeners to slow down and experience moments of reflection. Paste Magazine emphasizes Carlile’s vulnerability and emotional honesty, noting how the album communicates profound feelings without tipping into melodrama. Glide Magazine lauds the record as “beautifully and articulately rendered,” celebrating Carlile’s comfort in experimenting with new musical directions while staying unmistakably herself.

Classic Rock Magazine and Mojo praised the album’s stylistic diversity, from the poignant storytelling of A Long Goodbye to the dramatic energy of Church & State and the angelic harmonies of You Without Me and Joni. Rolling Stone notes that the album shines brightest when Carlile is fully immersed in introspective storytelling, and AllMusic highlights its understated elegance, confirming Carlile’s enduring gift as a communicator who blends technical mastery with heartfelt emotion.

Themes of Resilience and Self-Discovery
Thematically, Returning to Myself reflects Carlile’s journey of reflection, growth, and self-expression. After a four-year gap since 2021’s In These Silent Days, the singer returns to the studio with fresh experiences and perspectives, translating them into songs that are at once deeply personal and universally relatable. Tracks like the contemplative You Without Me and the country-inflected narrative of No One Knows Us explore life, love, loss, and resilience with nuanced lyricism and emotional depth.

Musically, Carlile fuses acoustic folk, soft rock, and subtle country influences, complemented by layered harmonies and meticulously crafted instrumentation. Longtime fans will recognize familiar touches of Carlile’s earlier sound, while also discovering new stylistic ventures, including nods to iconic influences like Joni Mitchell, adding historical and emotional richness to the album.

Fan Reception and Standout Tracks
Fans have responded enthusiastically to Returning to Myself, echoing the critical consensus. The album’s sincerity, vocal dynamism, and emotional transparency have resonated strongly with audiences. Standout tracks include Church & State, You Without Me, and the title track Returning to Myself, which serves as the emotional and philosophical centerpiece of the album.

Whether you’re a lifelong follower of Carlile’s work or discovering her for the first time, Returning to Myself offers a thoughtful, soul-stirring experience. Its blend of introspection, resilience, and artistic growth cements Carlile’s position as one of her generation’s most authentic and compelling voices.

There’s something magical about the way The Black Keys keep finding new ways to evolve without losing what makes them timeless. Their latest album, No Rain, No Flowers, the thirteenth studio release from the iconic rock duo, is a stunning reminder that resilience and rebirth can be heard just as much as they can be felt. Released through Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records, the project sees Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney diving deep into their roots while expanding their sound with new textures, richer storytelling, and a renewed sense of purpose.

The title alone — No Rain, No Flowers — perfectly captures the essence of the record: growth through struggle, beauty through pain. From the first riff to the final fade-out, the album pulses with an emotional honesty that feels both raw and revitalizing. It’s unmistakably The Black Keys, but it’s also something new — warmer, wiser, and more cinematic in tone.

Auerbach’s signature guitar work feels like a conversation with his past, echoing early garage-blues energy while embracing soulful melodies that shimmer with introspection. Carney’s drumming, always precise and powerful, anchors each track with a heartbeat that feels human — not mechanical. Together, they’ve created a collection of songs that move between the grit of Brothers and the layered, expansive soundscapes of Turn Blue, yet with a maturity that can only come from two decades in the game.

Lyrically, No Rain, No Flowers dives into the realities of endurance — the kind of weathered wisdom that only comes from surviving the storms. There’s vulnerability here, but it’s wrapped in the kind of swagger that has always defined The Black Keys’ sound. The songs are less about heartbreak and more about reflection, less about rebellion and more about evolution.

Fans will find plenty to love: tight hooks, groovy basslines, and the unmistakable fuzzed-out blues rock that first put the band on the map. But what makes this album stand out is its emotional center — the sense that Auerbach and Carney aren’t just playing for the crowd anymore; they’re playing for themselves, rediscovering what makes them fall in love with music all over again.

In a year filled with big releases and fleeting viral hits, No Rain, No Flowers stands out as something rare: a rock album with staying power, substance, and soul. It’s a reminder that even in an age of streaming algorithms and digital noise, authentic musicianship and honest storytelling still matter.

And to make the experience even more special, tonight’s episode of NRN Radio Show will feature a very special listening session — Unveiling the Enchantment: A Very Special Handpicked New Release by Your Favorite Music Artist, spotlighting The Black Keys’ No Rain, No Flowers. Tune in to hear exclusive commentary, behind-the-scenes insights, and select cuts from the album that showcase why this record is already being hailed as one of their best in years.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer discovering The Black Keys for the first time, No Rain, No Flowers is an album that demands to be heard — loud, live, and without interruption. It’s the sound of two artists still pushing boundaries, still chasing inspiration, and still proving that rock ’n’ roll can bloom even after the rain.

Stay tuned for more music coverage, exclusive artist features, and live performance highlights here at JamFest, where we keep you connected to the pulse of modern music.
