Finally!! A fantastic week of releases. There have been some okay weeks, but this one has the most so far that I am interested in this year. So, I am not going to ramble on and on…my choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you are interested in hearing or anything I might have missed. Happy Friday!!
Whitesnake – Slide It In (35th Anniversary Ultimate Special Edition) – (Rhino Records): Whitesnake has a knack for delivering fantastic box sets, if you don’t believe me just check out the Unzipped and ’87 Box Sets I have reviewed. This one seems even better. 6 Cds including the US & UK releases remastered, live shows and demos/remixes and whatever else they throw in. Oh, and you get a DVD full of videos and interviews…No Brainer!! Ordered and will be at the house when I arrive home from work
Tesla – Shock – (Universal Music): Tesla has been going strong since the 80’s and this one brings us a little twist. Producing the album is none other than Phil Collen from Def Leppard. Teslas has opened for Lep many, many times and a bond has been formed. Can’t wait to hear what Phil pulled out of the guys…I am sure it will be fantastic.
Buckcherry – Warpaint – (The Century Family): Buckcherry!! It has been almost 4 years since the last album and that is 4 years too long. I haven’t heard anything on purpose as I want to hear it all at once. So here is a video that I have not watched….
And here are a couple more I will probably end up giving a listen…
Damon Johnson – Memoirs of an Uprising – (Double Dragon Records)
Dido – Still On My Mind – (BMG)
James Morrison – You’re Stronger Than You Know – (Stanley Park Records)
David Gray – Gold in a Brass Age – (iht Records)
And the rest…
Iron Savior – Kill or Get Killed – (AFM Records)
Savage After Midnight – 11:59 E.P. – (The Century Family)
Flight of the Conchords – Live in London – (Sub Pop Records)
Tedashii Never Fold – (Reach Records)
Foals – Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost: Part 1 – (Warners Music)
Patty Griffin – Patty Griffin – (PGM/Thirty Tigers)
2 Loud 2 Old Music 
I’m a huge fan of Foals, so looking forward to their new one.

Can’t wait. Mine is on its way as well. I am hoping it is there waiting on my Kitchen counter when I get home (that is where the mail usually ends up).

Whitesnake is the biggie no doubt.
Tesla man I really want to like but the tracks I heard are kinda iffy at best. I will wait for your review John…

Def Leppard dropped an new album this morning!!! It is called Shock and Joe’s voice sounds a little like that guy from Tesla. Strange!!! (there is my review).

Not much getting my motor running this week.
Odd side note – I read a print music mag for the first time in ages last night and there’s a review of Jenny Lewis’ (of Rilo Kiley) new album and I can’t help but wonder if it’s cover is an homage to Slip it In – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Line_(Jenny_Lewis_album) – probably not though

Nothing for me this week… I might (might) check out the Buckcherry album, though I’m not expecting much, as I haven’t liked an album of theirs since the debut…
(I was fairly interested in the Tesla album, but don’t think I’ll bother on account of Deke’s comment).

That Flight of the Conchords live album sounds promising to me!

I argued last week that they’re a group that if you loved years ago, you’ll still love now. If you didn’t, you probably still won’t. Fortunately for me, that’s a good thing, as I continue to love them!
