Blue Hearts by Bob Mould
Blue Hearts is an album by Bob Mould, released in 2020. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “American Crisis”, on 2 lists with a best position of #49.
Blue Hearts, Bob Mould's 14th solo album, came out on Merge Records in September 2020, and the man who drove Hüsker Dü through the 1980s and Sugar through the 1990s sounds as riled up as he ever did. He recorded it at Electrical Audio and thought of the songs as protest songs, which is exactly how they hit: fast, loud and aimed squarely at the state of things.
"American Crisis" is the one that made the countdowns, and its title lays out the thesis plainly enough. The album only reached number 181 on the Billboard 200, but for a guitarist and songwriter four decades into the game, there's nothing here that sounds like coasting.
