We are to the end of another month and the end of another work week.  This year is flying by.  This is another Friday with a ton of new music.  I can’t say I am super excited about any of them, but I am interested in listening to quite a few (highlighted in Blue).

•   Yellowcard – Yellowcard – (Hopeless Records):  Apparently this is their 10th and last album together.  That is a little sad.  They have put out some great albums, so here is to hoping they go out on a high note.

•   Bon Iver – 22, A Million – (Jagjaguwar):  This is the third album by this wonderful indie folk rocker.  I am not real familiar with his music, but after hearing a couple songs, I am ready to dive in a see what he is about.

•   Drive-By Truckers – American Band – (ATO Records):  A new album by the alternative country/southern rock band.  They stem from Athens, Georgia and any band out of Athens is worth listening to in my opinion.

•   Il Volo with Placido Domingo – Notte Magica: A Tribute to the Three Tenors – (Sony Masterworks):  I was never into this style of music, but these guys are something else and I am looking forward to the new release.  Plus, Placido Domingo is with them. All good to me.

•   Andy Timmons Band – Theme From a Perfect World – (Andy Timmons):  This is a nice surprise.  I wasn’t expecting anything new from this former Danger Danger guitarist.  It has been 5 years since their last album.  High hopes on this one. (no video…sorry)
•   Marc Broussard – S.O.S. 2: Save Our Soul: Soul On A Mission – (G-Man Touring): A follow-up to his 2007 smash, he brings more soul tributes for us to enjoy.  Love the roughness of his voice.

•   Van Morrison – Keep Me Singing – (Caroline)
•   The Pixies – Head Carrier – (PIAS)
