September has an incredible number of new releases coming out and today is the start of it all.  There is now way humanly possible to get through all of them and I am not going to try.  I will miss out on a lot of great stuff, but each week there is going to be too much to get through.  I would have to quit my paying job and then do this full time (which doesn’t pay)…not going to happen, but wish it could.

The ones in Blue are the ones I will make every effort to listen to and enjoy!  Which ones are you looking forward to hearing?

•   Rev Theory – Revelation – (Another Record Co):  I like it loud and heavy and that is what I expect I will get with Rev Theory’s new release.  I have thoroughly enjoyed their prior releases and what I hear so far sounds great.  Give them a listen.

•   The Afters – Live on Forever – (Fair Trade Services): To go in a completely different direction, check out the Afters, a christian rock band but a lot more laid back than Rev Theory.  The single “Live on Forever” came out a long time ago so I have been waiting for this for awhile.  The write great, catchy songs with a nice message.

•   Gavin DeGraw – Something Worth Saving – (RCA):  Now if you want straight-up pop, you can’t go wrong with Gavin.  I have been a fan for years and he was great live.  I saw him open for Shania about a year ago and he didn’t disappoint.  His new single is great and exactly what you expect from him.

•   Jack White – Jack White Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 – (Third Man Recordings/Columbia):  I have always found Jack White to be interesting and never sure what I am going to here.  On this album, you definitely know.  It is a collection of acoustic songs from his solo work, the White Stripes and the Raconteurs.  Definitely worth checking out.

•   Jason Aldean – They Don’t Know – (Broken Bow):  Jason seems to be the King of Country right now.  I think a lot of country sounds the same so I am not sure why I am interested in listening to it, but will probably give it a try anyway.

•   The Beatles – Live at the Hollywood Bowl – (Capitol):  It is the Beatles – is there anything more to discuss????  Here is a little snippet.
