Shelby Lynne, “Pretend”

This melancholy breakup song is the sole track on “Just a Little Lovin’ ” that Lynne wrote. “It was the only song that I had that would even come close to sittin’ in nicely with the other [Dusty Springfield] tunes,” she says.

The Matches, “Wake the Sun”

Wordplay, peppy percussion and singalong choruses star in the genre-crossing first song off the Matches’ third album, “A Band in Hope.” They’re at Irving Plaza on April 11.

Widespread Panic, “Boom Boom Boom”

The Athens, Ga., band returns with a gritty Southern-style jam featuring new guitarist Jimmy Herring, on the group’s 10th studio album, “Free Somehow.” They’re at the United Palace on Friday and Saturday.
