Leif Vollebekk, 'North Americana' (January 28)
If you couldn't get enough of the intimate folk music recreated within the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis, try a contemporary, soul-kissed spin on that sound from this Montreal-based bard. Vollebekk also openly borrows from Jeff Buckley — always a daring move. With a grit-and-honey voice and a way of opening up his own confessions until they become universal, Vollebekk pulls it off. Released in Canada last year, this debut adds to a rush of outstanding releases from freewheeling singer-songwriters this season.
