On her first two albums, both excellent, Marina Allen drew comparisons to lots of ’70s folk legends (Karen Dalton, The Roches, Joni Mitchell), but her third feels rooted in the modern world. She hasn’t altered what she does that much, but working with producer Chris Cohen, Allen adds angles and bright colors — and the occasional synthesizer and electric guitar — to her sun-dappled but earth-toned palette. You can listen to Eight Pointed Star below.

For a while after they won their freedom, the Americans turned to Europe for art, including music. It wasn't long, however, before they started looking for a distinctly American sound. They "fought hard," so said Aaron Copland, "to free American composition from the dominance of European models because that struggle was basic to the establishment of an American music." And eventually, American musicians did find their own voice. Here are five of the best pieces to come from the composers of the Land of the Free:

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions.
