Remember when Nellie McKay’s cabaret-Broadway tunecraft was supposed to be the next big thing? She probably does, too. The new one, “Obligatory Villagers,” is charming, mostly because it is short, as opposed to her way-too-long previous records.

XL Recommended – Freedy Johnston: The second of two Austin shows this week finds Johnston with his full band, playing the sharply written power pop that made him one of the 1990s defining critical darlings.

Mississippi-born Cajun dweller Sonny Landreth always struck me as Louisiana’s answer to A-Town’s Eric Johnson. On his latest slide-guitar slice ’n’ dice, From the Reach, you’ll find the aural resemblance in instrumentals such as chunkster “The Milky Way Home” and shredding, penulimate closer “Überesso.” Stealing thunder from Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago last year, Landreth remains a six-string überesso all his own. – Raoul Hernandez

Go ahead — immerse yourself. San Antonio artist Katie Pell wouldn’t have it any other way. With her enormous installations, Pell offers the chance to lose ourselves in ironic creations such as a larger-than-life-size album cover, a glittering mirrored duck blind and an elaborately large charm bracelet. And touching the work is not only allowed, it’s encouraged.
