Free Album Streaming: New CDs from Young Antiques, The Roots, Gorillaz, & More

This is kind of a slow week for online album streaming, perhaps due to fewer album releases during the holiday season (except for the usual flood of box sets and special re-releases intended for gift giving). Still, there are a few offerings: new albums by Young Antiques and Me Vs. Myself; the latest from The Roots; a new archival set by legendary singer-songwriter John Prine, featuring live and studio recordings; a singles collection by Gorillaz; and a four-song "Appalachian Christmas" set from jazz/classical/bluegrass violinist and composer Mark O'Connor.


Young Antiques performing "What I Can't See" from their new album, which you can preview this week on AOL Music.

NPR Music has an eclectic handful of new albums for preview, from the metal band Cormorant; the Polish musician Jacaszek, who combines classical, jazz, and electronica; and the new Broadway cast recording of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies."
