Welcome to October and there is abundance to keep you busy this month. Maybe not as much as weeks past but still a broad range of releases that there is bound to be something up your alley. I have quite a few I want to hear including some Super Deluxe Editions of older albums as there are a ton of those almost every week now. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you want to hear and even what I may have missed that way everyone will know. Thanks so much for the continued support, stopping by and commenting. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
KK’s Priest – Sermons of the Sinner – (EX1 Records): K.K. Downing, formerly of Judas Priest brings his own brand of rock with KK’s Priest and I love that he is playing off his former band because why shouldn’t he capitalize on that success. And what is even better is that is Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens on vocals. I have purposely not listened to anything yet as I want to check this out all in one sitting.
Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett – Love For Sale – (Columbia / Sony / Interscope): Lady Gaga…Yes Please…Tony Bennet…Absolutely Yes Please!! In what might very well be Tony’s last recordings how could you not want to hear this. The man is a legend and throw in Gaga and the two together are pure gold!!
Roger Taylor – Outsider – (UMe): The Queen drummer is back with a solo album and that is all I need to know. I always loved his stuff with Queen and I am sure this is different, but I don’t care. He has earned that respect from me. Drop the needle and lets go!!
Black Sabbath – Technical Ecstacy (Super Deluxe Edition) – (Rhino / Warner): They continue to release Super Deluxe Edition after Super Deluxe Edition and you know what, I’m okay with that. Keep them coming boys!! I need to go back and get them all and that is a pretty daunting task. For now, I’ll stream it and enjoy as much as I can.
And all the rest…I hope you find something to hear!!

I don’t listen to Tony Bennett’s music, but he was on ‘American Idol’ a few times throughout the years and it’s sad seeing him get older because he’s such a nice guy! As for Roger, I’m curious to hear what he has in store, but I won’t buy the album right away (or at all if I hate it).

Roger is definitely a stream first. Tony is one of the coolest guys in music ever. Such a class act. A living legend.

There is a lot in there that I don’t recognize, and that’s fine.
I never knew that anyone in Queen besides Freddie put out solo work. I might be one of the few people of earth not really into Sabbath. I do like some of it, but not much more beyond compilations.
I think I’ll stick with my Explosions in the Sky release for today. They’re an instrumental band from Texas. They’ve done a bunch of soundtracks, most notably Friday Night Lights and Lone Survivor.
War on Drugs and Black Veil Brides have new albums coming out on the 29th.
It’s technically not new, but my friend gave me another Shinedown CD (Amaryllis) yesterday.

Yeah, Roger has put out several and so has Brian.
Good to know on Explosions as I had no idea. And War on Drugs and BVB are on the October post. And in new (to you) Shinedown is awesome. I like all their stuff.

Great guitar work on the KK Priest song but that song dragged on a little too long. Are all the songs on the album like that? I was also impressed with Asking Alexandria.

I’ve heard the album once and it is okay. There are some great solos. For me, some of the lyrics were kinda awful, but overall not as band as I was expecting…I had low expectations.
