Macy Gray + Cary Nokey

Macy Gray hit her pop-cultural peak early, on her excellent 1999 debut, On How Life Is. The gravel-voiced R&B singer-songsmith might not be as visible as she once was, but she's stayed relevant via recent collaborations with saxophone titan David Murray and a series of well-curated covers records. Here, she celebrates The Way, a brand-new LP of original songs.
