As were are starting to get closer the Holidays, the new releases become fewer and fewer. There might be one more big week, sadly this is not one of them. I barely have enough to fill the 6 panels of pictures above. My choices are limited so I apologize, but maybe there is something for you. We have Country, R&B, Emo, Classic Rock, 50’s Rock and Pop…that’s it…one for each. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you want to hear or if there is something I missed that you want to mention. Thanks for stopping by and have a Great Weekend!!
Lady Antebellum – Ocean – (Big Machine): I diss Country a lot, but there a few artists/groups I like and this is one of them. They are band my wife and I enjoy together and I love when we have someone we both like. They have been around awhile and usually they deliver and I expect nothing less this time. It is usually a softer side of Country, but man these guys/gals can sing.
Prince – 1999 (Super Deluxe Edition) – (Warner Records): Prince’s estate is emptying the vaults at an alarmingly fast rate and now 1999 is getting the Super Deluxe Edition. The album was unbelievable the way it was, but having all this bonus material is going to be a blast going through. I could spend a lot of time with this one.
And here is the rest…big names, but little interest for me…maybe they will interest you.
Fallout Boys – Greatest Hits: Believers Never Die Volume 2 – (Island Records)
Foreigner – Double Vision: Then And Now – (earMusic)
Ronnie Wood & His Wild Five – Mad Lad: A Live Tribute to Chuck Berry – (BMG Rights Management)
Celine Dion – Courage – (Sony Music)
Definitely slim pickings. But it doesn’t matter, John… today is all about Joe Henry’s new one. The Gospel According to Water. He’s one of the absolute best out there.

Well, I have been on a Foreigner album kick lately with the early stuff (up til 1982!) so ‘ 40 Then and Now’ intrigues me as it features the original band on some tracks and that is a pretty decent running order of tunes on it as well.
I probably will purchase this today at some point!

The Wood album sounds interesting. Sometimes these get togethers can surprise. After all these years these guys are still getting inspired by the stuff they first heard.

I gave it a spin. I’m not a big Wood guy but these albums get may curiosity. It’s not bad. I tried to find out who was on it (Who the Wild Five are?) but got to lazy to pursue. One person that I recognized was Emelda May. She sings a couple tunes. I’m a big fan of hers. I’ll spin it again No bullshit rock with some good work. Kinda what I expected. Thanks for the heads up.
