March keeps flying by and we have another long list of releases for you this week. The last two weeks for me have been huge with a ton of releases I was dying to hear and some I bought. This week, there is only one I want to hear and it is the new album by Gary Clark Jr. He has impressed me a lot and so I want to see what he has in store for us this go around. And who am I kidding, I’ll probably stream Alestorm because who doesn’t need a little Pirate Metal in their life. Let me know what you want to hear this week or what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend!!
