  Stu

  (2019)

  Finally, a guitar hero for the 21st century. When this album was getting hyped I assumed it would consist of incessant guitar solos, but I was glad to be wrong. There's plenty of great guitar work but only in service to the songs themselves. It has 17 tracks and delivers an hour and 12 minutes of solid blues-based gimmick-free ROCK (along with R&B, reggae, and other influences thrown in). An unexpected keeper of the rock flame in the 2020s.
