This week we’re posting some genre charts as well as our top 30, including the #1 Jazz release “Turn Up The Quiet” by Diana Krall (pictured), who performed a great show in Madison last Saturday night at the Overture Center. Boss Hog hangs onto the #1 spot for a 2nd week on the Top 30; debuts and featured albums include  Grabbitz, Gorillaz, Jason Isbell, and !!!   We have a number of new releases by prolific Reggae artists appearing on the World charts including Morgan Heritage, Nattali Rize, Jon Wayne & the Pain and a Various Artists compilation from the venerable Greensleeves label.  Loud rock/metal/hardcore is constantly turning over with new music, but standouts this week include the crossover classic rock sound of Mutoid Man, pirate-themed metal from Alestorm and a new one from Danzig, longtime vocalist for heavy punk outfit the Misfits.

Enjoy the very best in curated new and underground music being played on WORT every day, every night, week in and week out, for over 40 years!!  Tune in, stream it live, listen to the archives, share with your friends and wherever you may be, please don’t forget to donate to support your independent, volunteer-run noncommercial community media center.
