Mason Poole
In The Hour Of Chaos, Allison Russell’s third solo album, brings the power of harmony and solidarity to a time of division and fear. In an interview days before its release, the songwriter says her “rainbow coalition” of collaborators has grown since her breakout album Outside Child of 2021, and many of them, including Brittney Spencer, Norah Jones, and Kashus Culpepper, sing duets with her. She also gets into her foundations in folk music during her pre-Nashville years.
