BILLIE JOE & NORAH
Foreverly (Reprise)
The presence of Green Days Billie Joe Armstrong alongside Norah Jones on this homage to the Everly Brothers is a surprise. Backed by Nashville players, the duo combine well. Its a touch indulgent at times, but they playfully evoke the spirit of Don and Phil on sad, sweet country ballads and electrified workouts like Long Time Gone.

NEIL YOUNG
Live At The Cellar Door (Reprise)

Only Love Can Break Your Heart and a piano-accompanied Birds are highlights, and there is an early version of Old Man, released two years later on Harvest.

JIMMY WEBB
Still Within The Sound Of My Voice (Entertainment One)
The writer of Wichita Lineman is joined by Carly Simon and Brian Wilson, and a few Brits on this second duets album. Joe Cocker is gruff and soulful on The Moons A Harsh Mistress; Kris Kristofferson simply gruff on Honey Come Back. Rumer shines on the title track.

Barbra, 71, re-writes Cole Porters Youre The Top to namecheck fellow local Jay-Z and the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. You can take the girl out of Brooklyn...

REBECCA FERGUSON
Freedom (RCA)
With new releases from Leona Lewis, JLS and Olly Murs, X Factor alumni are swamping the seasonal schedules. But former legal secretary Ferguson (runner-up in 2010) continues to stand out, forsaking the usual warbling for a more distinctive approach. Her touchstones Aretha, Adele and Nina Simone are still evident. I Hope leans on the rhythmic thump of Adeles Rolling In The Deep, while John Legend adds class to ballad Bridges.

BRITISH SEA POWER
From The Sea To The Land Beyond (Rough Trade)
Brighton indie-rockers BSP have established a loyal cult-following over the past decade by jumping from swaggering guitars to moodier, cinematic styles. This soundtrack to a BBC film on the British coastline finds them in the latter mode. It lacks their usual power, but adds subtlety, plus hints of Pink Floyd, on evocative, primarily instrumental pieces punctuated by the sounds of lapping waves.

DVORAK
Cello Concertos (Hyperion CDA67917)
This is the first time our foremost cellist Steven Isserlis has recorded Dvoraks B minor Concerto. Having heard him play it in concert, I can attest that the CD represents his heartfelt interpretation very well, and the Italian-made recording has plenty of presence.

LITTLE MIX
Salute (Syco))
'If you think were just pretty things, you couldn't be more wrong,' brag Tulisa's 'little muffins on their second album. Leaning on the know-how of girl-band veterans Nicola Roberts (Girls Aloud) and Shaznay Lewis (All Saints), the X Factor graduates are maturing rather nicely. The title track could do with a stronger tune, but the jittery pop of Nothing Feels Like You is infectious.
