Charlie Rich - Pictures and Paintings (1992)
In his last album, the Silver Fox finally got it right. After years of having his talent hidden by underproduced (Sun) and overproduced (Epic) recordings, Charlie went with a simple trio for most of these songs, augmented occasionally by horns. In so doing, he revealed himself to have been all along a master of every idiom: blues, jazz, pop, country and rock.

George Jones & Merle Haggard - Kickin' Out The Footlights...Again (2006)
Hag and Possum had over 145 years and a lot of miles on 'em when they made this, their second duet album. Yeah, you could say they sound a bit tired but jeez, I'm amazed they made it that far. Both are gone now, so this autumnal project has the same melancholy feel (albeit less ravaged) as Billie Holiday's last work. RIP Merle and George.

Elvis Costello - Momofuku (2008)
AMG sez:
Originally Momofuku was going to be released only on vinyl and digital download, an expression of Elvis Costello's frustration with the State of the Record Industry in 2008, but those plans soon changed, turning the album into a standard release yet not removing a sense of confusion surrounding its sudden appearance, as it arrived just after Costello publicly swore off ever recording again (or performing in the U.K., but that's another matter for another time).
[snip]
...This record sprang to life in an instant, just like a bowl of ramen noodles. Invited to sing on Jenny Lewis' follow-up to Rabbit Fur Coat, an album he praised publicly, Costello arrived in a studio where half of his Imposters were already working on the record -- along with Tennessee Thomas, the daughter of longtime Costello drummer Pete, and Lewis' boyfriend Johnathan Rice -- and before long a couple of new Elvis originals were cut alongside the planned songs for Jenny, and that snowballed into the quickly written, quickly recorded, quickly released Momofuku. That quicksilver speed is the key to Momofuku, and what separates it from all the albums Elvis Costello has cut in the decade since he signed with Universal.
