I picked up the new Counting Crows. Pretty roots-rockish, which is different than their last album which was more 60s-Bacharach-pop oriented, or even the one before that which was more sonically experimental. Have to listen to it a few times before I can review it though...

The new Kathleen Edwards is really great. Some of her best stuff I think.

Another Canadian songstress - Sarah Slean - just released a good album of piano lounge-pop. Pretty mellow if you can get past the first song.

Some other great records you might be waiting on but didn't know are soon out (or just released):

British band Elbow released 'The Seldom Seen Kid'. Still pretty adventurous stuff, but very accessible pop rock.

Sun Kil Moon have a new record out next week, I believe, called 'April'. Big fan of Mark Kozelek.

And I picked up a record a little while ago by Atlas Sound called 'Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel'. Really awesome if you like post-rock, ambient type stuff. They're still 'songs', just the structure is pushed pretty far. It's by Bradford Cox who is the main guy behind psych-rockers Deerhunter.
