LORETTA LYNN
Still Woman Enough
Loretta Lynn marks the 50th anniversary of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” on Still Woman Enough. From covers of proto divas like Mother Maybelle to a ballsy new female anthem, she outlines “a woman’s place” in country history with Reba, Carrie Underwood, Margo Price, and Tanya Tucker. (Available March 19.)
LAKE STREET DIVE
Obviously
Lake Street Dive add rhythm to their refined indie pop on Obviously, mixing in-the-pocket soul and Top 40 swagger with their typical femme-fatale vocals and jazz-club cool. With Grammy-winning hip-hop producer Mike Elizondo behind the controls, their retro influence gets a modern update. (Available March 12.)
CARRIE UNDERWOOD
My Savior
Carrie Underwood delivers her second passion project in a row with My Savior, a gorgeous album of her favorite gospel hymns. The companion to her My Gift Christmas set, heavenly vocals and spirit-swelling arrangements embody the faithful juxtaposition of peace and power. (Available March 26.)
