    It’s not really necessary to be familiar with the source works to come away impressed by the ingenuity on display here: that surplus of inspiration lends itself to enough solo piano from Mehldau to anchor the narrative and remind us why he is so worth listening to in the first place.

    Ride Into the Sun is a unique take on the tribute album concept, brimming with incredible ideas and brilliant musicianship, and may also be one of the finest albums in Brad Mehldau’s illustrious discography.

    Mehldau brings the influence front and centre, with bittersweet, often lovely arrangements of even the darkest moments in the Smith songbook. [Sep 2025, p.33]
