ALBUM REVIEWS The Philadelphia Inquirer “THE LOOKOUT” LAURA VEIRS (RAVEN MARCHING BAND ★★★) Laura Veirs sings in a precise, clear voice that often ascends to ethereal heights in a song’s chorus. That clarity is a perfect analog for the themes of “The Lookout,” an album about seeking solace in troubled times. Over her 10 solo albums, Veirs has been a subtle and varied songwriter, but “The Lookout” is sharply focused: Unlike her character-driven contributions to 2016’s “case / lang / veirs,” her collaboration with kd lang and Neko Case, these songs are ruminative affirmations. On the title track, she finds hope in a loved one: “But man alive, I’m glad that I have you. / You, my lookout on the ground, / making music.” In “When It Grows Darkest,” the lookout is the North Star, a lodestar providing reassurance: “When it grows darkest / the stars come out.” Veirs’s husband, Tucker Martine, produced the album, and though it often focuses on Veirs’ guitar-picking, it’s a richly textured set, with room for strings and woodwinds, a Grateful Dead cover, and cameos by Sufjan Stevens and Jim James. – Steve Klinge “GIRL GOING NOWHERE” ASHLEY MCBRYDE (ATLANTIC ★★★) On her first album, the self-released “Jalopies and Expensive Guitars,” Ashley McBryde gleefully stuck it to an old high school tormenter: “You got fat and I got famous!” The “famous” part might have been a bit premature in 2016, but McBryde is on her way now. With “Girl Going Nowhere,” on a major label and with big-time producer Jay Joyce, she is one of the most talked-about young artists in country. And no wonder. The title song picks up on the vindication theme, albeit in a quieter fashion, as McBryde revels in knowing she has proved wrong all those back home who ridiculed her dreams of making it in country music. Here’s the thing, though: While McBryde obviously burned to get out of small- town Arkansas, she expertly draws on her experi- ences there for songs that have an unerringly true-to-life quality. “Radioland” is an anthemic country-rocker about the kind of lifeline music on the radio can provide in the boonies, but she never romanticizes the life. The Skynyrd-esque “Livin’ Next to Leroy” underlines that: “On the dark side of the country, it ain’t bonfires, it ain’t beer. … You find out quick how big a hit that class ring will get you, boy.” McBryde knows how to bring the attitude, but she balances that with a tender and vulnerable side, from a fond reminiscence of her father in “The Jacket” to the wound-licking solace of “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega” – “Making the best of a worst-day kind of night.” – Nick Cristiano “INVASION OF PRIVACY” CARDI B (ATLANTIC ★★★½) It’s Cardi B’s world we’re living in. “Invasion of Privacy,” the debut album of the emcee born Belcalis Almanzar, has arrived. She’s finally coming out with a full-length official major- label product – she’s previously released multiple mixtapes – to take advantage of the massive success of her 2017 single “Bodak Yellow.” In the standard flash-in-the-pan narrative, this is supposed to be when Cardi B. is exposed as a one- (or two-) hit wonder, last year’s viral sensation’s last gasp at relevancy. But “Invasion of Privacy” demonstrates the opposite. The album opens with the sounds of sirens and the ominous battle rap “Get Up 10,” an intense, unrelenting statement of purpose that takes a page out of the playbook of “Dreams & Nightmares,” the signature song by Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill (with whom Cardi B toured last year) that’s become more popular than ever since the Philadelphia Eagles and 76ers adopted it. “Get Up” immediately establishes that “Bodak” and its successor “Bartier Cardi” weren’t flukes. It sets the table for a disciplined 13-song album that keeps the rapper’s enormously engaging personality and flair for language on display. The rapper has a last word for the haters who expected her time on center stage to be up by now: “They said that by now I’d be finished, hard to tell / My little 15 minutes lasting long as hell.” Indeed they are, with no indication of stopping. – Dan DeLuca Nickelback When: July 26, 8 p.m. Where: Cheyenne Frontier Days Online: www.cfdrodeo.com Cost: $44-$71 About: It’s been more than a decade since the Canadian rockers have performed at Cheyenne Frontier Days, and there’s no doubt they will bring the house down.

Alameda Parkway, Morrison, Colorado Online: www.axs.com Cost: $46.75-$86.50 About: There was a time when Nathaniel Rateliff’s soulful group was a fantas- tic secret in Colorado.
