Friday’s releases this week don’t have me overly excited, but still some possible good albums to enjoy.  At least this week is rather diverse in what I am interested to hear.  There is a little country, pop, alternative and some rock.  If there is anything that you are are excited to hear, let me know.

Keith Urban – Ripcord (Capitol Nashville)

Keith always is very consistent and usually a few good songs worth keeping.

The Goo Goo Dolls – Boxes (Warner Bros.)

I was really disappointed in their last album and hoping this is better.

Rooney – Washed Away (CD Baby)

Not sure what to expect on this one.  The lead singer, Robert Schwartzman, is the only remaining band member.  I hope it is as good as their old stuff.

Andy Black – The Shadow Side – (Lava Music)

Andy Black is the lead singer of Black Veil Brides and now he is releasing his first solo album.  I am expecting good things from this release.

The Rides – Pierced Arrow – (Savoy)

The Rides are Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Sheperd and Barry Goldberg.  A pretty great line-up and as a fan of Kenny Wayne Shepherd this is a must listen.  This is their second album and I am sure as good as the first.
