Welcome to April and another Friday of new releases. This week there are a handful of decent releases but nothing I am freaking out about. There are a couple I will give a spin and others I will have to see when I can fit it in…if at all. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what interests you or if I missed anything. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!
Mike Tramp – Stray from the Flock – (Deko Music): The former White Lion frontman continues his long solo career with another new release. Since we will never get White Lion again, I will take this as his solo stuff is usually interesting although I don’t like everything, he still gets a listen. I haven’t heard anything yet and I will wait until I can spin the whole thing all at once.
Brooks & Dunn – Reboot – (B&D2/Sony): Okay, I give country music a hard time…well because new country sucks. But Brooks & Dunn aren’t new country. They have been away for a long while and I am happy they are back. However, I am disappointed it isn’t new material. Instead it is re”boots” of old classics with today’s country artists. I did say today’s country sucks, so this ain’t too promising. The Kacy Musgraves one could be cool though.
Sara Bareilles – Amidst the Chaos – (Epic Records)
Marc Broussard – Home (The Dockside Sessions) – (G-Man Touring)
Don Felder – American Rock & Roll – (BMG Music)
Gino Vannelli – Wilderness Road – (Sono Recording Group)
Khalid – Free Spirit – (RCA Records)
Reba McEntire – Stronger Than the Truth – (Big Machine)
Mike + the Mechanics – Out of the Blue – (Michael Rutherford Limited/BMG)
Eluveitie -Ategnatos – (Nuclear Blast)

Yes, that is nuts! And I listened to it and now I am done with new releases. It wasn’t bad, it was just Mike Tramp! Now, if you were in to pop, than Khalid would be the top choice.

A slim picking week… worryingly I’m finding that to be the case more and more!

I think it has been a relatively sucky year for releases so far. Few and far between. I don’t think this week is any better.

I was actually chatting with a pal about this year feeling very light with good releases. I don’t actually think I’ve bought one! Though I’ve hit a few up on Spotify.
