Now Streaming: New CDs from Jason Lytle, Martha Wainwright, & More

New albums by Martha Wainwright and Jason Lytle headline the lineup of releases streaming online this week. [UPDATE, Oct. 9th: albums streams by Ben Gibbard, Trey Anastasio, and more added below.] Wainwright is part of the famous musical family that includes Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle (her parents) and Rufus Wainwright (her brother), but to me Martha is the most enjoyable to listen to. Her new album, "Come Home to Mama," comes out Oct. 16th.



Jason Lytle, the former frontman of Grandaddy, has recorded with a number of musicians since ending that group, including forming Admiral Radley with members of Earlimart. Now he's back with a new solo album, "Dept. of Disappearance," also drops on the 16th.

Also new this week are albums by Mark Mallman and Meshell Ndegeocello (covering songs associated with Nina Simone), and second chances to hear the latest from Freelance Whales, Metz, and Lord Huron.
