Leyla McCalla
married edification with liberation: a musical testament to the fact that knowledge is power.
Vari-Colored Songs
, her 2014 ode to

, created this complex template, but 2019's
The Capitalist Blues

McCalla
's mind on

It's a rallying cry, filled with careening fiddles, squalls of dirty guitars, New Orleans rhythms, vaudeville shuffles, sunbeaten ballads, banjo tunes, and songs sung in French. It's everything that makes America great, distilled into an album as unruly as the country itself and blessed with an intellectual rigor that's bracing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
