Nobody wants to go back to work after the holidays. So, just like the rest of us, musicians and TV chit-chatters are easing their way into 2025, with just over a dozen no-big-deal performances spread across the week. For me, the best of the bunch would have to be Hurray For The Riff Raff and Norah Jones on ACL; you can take your pick from the other treats on tap. But remember: Easy does it.
