It is the first Friday of September and there is a long list of releases. Everyone starts putting out their new albums in the Fall and there are some big ones coming, but let us focus on today. The ones I am looking forward to are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you want to listen to and which ones I might have missed on the list. Thanks and have a great music weekend!!
Alter Bridge – Live a the Royal Albert Hall (feat. the Parallax Orchestra) – (Napalm Records): I am surprised by another live record after last year’s release. That is ok. There are some different songs in the set list and a little orchestra along with it. I will give it a listen and then decide on buying.
Lenny Kravitz – Raise Vibration – (Roxie Records): I have always loved Lenny so this is a no brainer to stream. His last few have been so-so so again I will stream it before I buy it. Just so you know, I don’t always do that as I do have 4 or 5 albums on pre-order without hearing a lick. Only a few bands get that special treatment.
Now these next few I am interested in giving a spin, however, it will happen sooner than later just not right out of the gate…
Clutch – Book of Bad Decisions – (Weathermaker Music)
Building 429 – Live the Journey – (Provident Label Group)
Sister Hazel – Wind – (Croakin’ Poet Records)
And who knows if I will get to these or not…
Paul Simon – In the Blue Light – (Sony Music)
Paul McCartney – Egypt Station – (Capitol Records)
Yes – Live at the Apollo (50th Anniversary) – (Eagle Rock Entertainment)
Grateful Dead – Pacific Northwest ’73-’74 Believe It If You Need It (3CD) – (Grateful Dead Production)
Nashville Pussy – Pleased to Eat You – (Earmusic)
Everlast – Whitey Ford’s House of Pain – (Martyr Inc Records)
Magic! – Expectations – (RCA Records)
Lauren Daigle – Look Up Child – (Centricity Music)
Macy Gray – Ruby – (Mack Avenue Records)
Metal Allegiance – Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty – (Nuclear Blast)

I dare say I’ll listen to new Alter Bridge and Clutch. I believe the new Spiritualized album is out today, too… so I’ll be checking that out.

I am up for the Alter Bridge too. I am so far behind on Clutch as they are new to my world. Maybe I will give it a try.

I heard the last Clutch album and haven’t yet explored anything before that… figured I’d get to them, but seems this one has come along first!

Nice to finally see something new from Macy Gray. Love her, but she seemed to disappear for a while. 😃

A very expensive day! Can they not just spread all this stuff out?

I wish they could. They need to talk to us first on how to spread out the releases.

I’d be interested in hearing the McCartney – I can’t believe it’s almost 50 years since the end of the Beatles but from his TV appearances this year, he can still play/sing!

I heard Low by Lenny when I saw him live. It is ok – bit repetitive plus has unnecessary cuss.

The Clutch LP all the way for me, they’re by far my favourite rock band at the moment and three listens in, it’s a great LP.

Nashville Pussy? Yes please!
Wynton Marsalis being on the new Paul Simon album is about the only thing that would make me even come close to considering buying a Paul Simon record…

I have never listened to NP. And no interest in Paul Simon right now.

For NP, I can fully recommend the blast that is Let Them Eat Pussy, and in particular the track Go Motherf*cker Go.
