Iggy Pop,”Free” (Caroline International)-The eagerly anticipated follow up to 2016’s surprisingly successful “Post Pop Depression” is dominated by the great man’s melancholy musings on mortality and the inexorable passage of time, boasting some splendidly tuneful jazz inflected creations alongside spoken word pieces such as Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” and Iggy’s own “The Dawn.” Leron Thomas’ exquisite trumpet work illiuminates many of the album’s finest musical moments, including “Glow in the Dark,” “Page” and “Loves Missing.”
