Shine
Swamp
After a couple of albums featuring guest artists on every song (2004’s “Heroines” and 2006’s “Covered”), it’s good to hear the Swamp Fox back in the groove — and on “The Shine,” it’s a deep one.

Los Lobos
Tin Can Trust
Shout! Factory
The Wolves are at the door, following up on 2006’s “The Town and the City” and 2009’s “Los Lobos Goes Disney” with a fresh set of original material birthed nearly entirely in the studio. For the first time in a long time, the roots rockers were all together in the same room — no demos made by members in their individual home studios as a starting point.
