Happy Friday. Welcome to the new releases and I am sorry, but there are not a lot this week. Why? Because no one wants to go up against Taylor Swift. She will rule the world this week. That doesn’t mean I don’t have something because I do and it is going to kick some major ass. Sorry Swift, this will get played…yours won’t…except with my girls so I will hear it, but not by choice. What I will hear is in Blue. I hope there is something for you. Let me know what you like and if I missed anything. Thanks and have a great weekend!
Crobot – Motherbrain – (Mascot Label Group): The boys from PA are back with their fourth studio album. If you like your hard rock with a little funk then come on over as you won’t be disappointed. This album is going on first thing this morning on the way to work…cranked as loud as I can take it. Each album has gotten better and I hope this one follows that trend.
Taylor Swift – Lover – (Taylor Swift): Okay, I will have to listen to this and it is a really huge release so I will mention it. My prediction is that it won’t do as well as her previous releases as I think she has reached her peak a couple album ago. I am not saying it will be bad, I am saying we have probably heard it all before and she is rehashing old sounds. I think the days of Swift Superiority are coming to an end especially when you have fresh voices like Billie Eilish starting to rule the airwaves.
And the rest…
The Rembrandts – Via Satellite – (Blue Elan Records)
Sacred Reich – Awakening – (Metal Blade Records)
Midland – Let it Roll – (Big Machine)
Vince Gill – Okie – (MCA Nashville)
Tanya Tucker – While I’m Livin’ – (Concord Music Group)
I agree on Taylor. She has probably peaked. But she’s smart when it comes to self promotion too. So we shall see!

She will still sell millions which most bands can’t do, it just won’t be as many millions as before (but I have been known to be wrong…don’t tell anyone)

At least coming up is Big Wreck next week and Alterbridge down the road in October. Course the box sets will be a thing to reckon with as well haha So all is not lost. But yeah smart marketing as Taylor will clean house this week,,,

Things pick up in Sept and Oct. Been a fairly lackluster year so far. And the box sets are a plenty. I have STP and Whitesnake coming.

Good for the Rembrandts – I’ve only ever heard the friends theme song (and remember seeing their album in the used bins) so nice to see they’re still at it, 25 years after the friends debut!
