Can you believe March is almost over. For new releases it is as this the last one of the month and do we have a lot for you with well over 25 releases for you to check out. We cover the entire range of music I am guessing with this batch of releases. I have one that I am really excited about and another that is 20th Anniversary Edition that I am excited to explore again. Those two are first up and marked in Blue. Let me know which ones you want to hear first and what I might have missed so everyone can know about it. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the list. I hope you all have a wonderful, music-filled weekend!!!
Smith/Kotzen – Smith/Kotzen – (BMG Rights Mgmt): First up is Richie Kotzen (The Winery Dogs) and Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden). What a cool combination of guitar players. These guys will battle it out on guitar and on vocals. That is enough for me. I have not heard anything yet, but I know I want to so that is why it will be first up today on my list to play.
3 Doors Down – The Better Life (20th Anniversary Edition) – (Republic Records): I can’t believe it has been 20 years since this release, it is insane. By far, I think their best release and it is time to celebrate with a couple of unreleased tracks and some demos. That is all I want in an anniversary release…well maybe a live show from the tour would be good.
And now all the rest…
Carrie Underwood – My Savior – (Capitol Nashville): Carrie’s first gospel album and nice to see her do this. I am sure this will do well for her.
Suzi Quatro – The Devil in Me – (Steamhammer): I’ve heard the song below and this might be interesting. Might have to add this to my list…

I have to say, after listening to S/K in full album form, it is much better than expected. It will get spun again.

I was very impressed with the Smith/Kotzen and Mrs. 80smetalman is a big Suzi Quatro fan so we’ll be having some of that. I like that song too.

I might give her a spin as well. The Smith/Kotzen one turned out to be good. Listened to it this morning.

Really like the Smith/Kotzen single you have on here. Also as a guy that grew up on rap music I do like me some NF. Dude is talented if you’re into rap. He’s like Eminem just without all the cursing so he’s a safe for family or work listening which I really appreciate as a break from the norm these days!

I didn’t know that Suzi Quatro was working on new music, interesting! While I’m not a fan of “I Sold My Soul Today,” I’ll admit she sounds great vocally.

Not really no. I might hear a few things hear or there, but don’t go out of my way too much to hear a whole album.

Ah I see. I used to be obsessed with her in 2018 because I loved that she wore black leather and she screamed in her songs. Nowadays I only search up her songs when I’m in the mood.

Im back to say thanks for the heads up on the Lonnie Smith. Another one of us people also nudged me to it. Iggy Pop guests on a couple cuts. Music that’s up my alley for a certain mood.

It’s probable I’ve missed several posts. My method is that I hit Like on every post I read, that way the Reader shows me (with a little blue star) which ones I’ve read and which I haven’t. But me being me, it’s highly likely I’ve missed some still…
