"Close My Eyes"

One of the best things I've heard this year is the latest Arthur Russell reissue from Audika. It rounds up some never-released recordings that lean toward the folkier/poppier end of Russell's wide spectrum of influences. It also makes a great companion piece to the superb documentary released this year, Wild Combination.
