Friday New Releases – January 12, 2024

Welcome to the first Friday New Releases post of 2024. As you should know, the new releases start out slow at the beginning of the year, but they will pick up so don’t you worry your pretty little head over it. We have a handful of releases for you so hopefully you can find something to listen to this week. For me, I’m going to check out the Tracii Guns and Jack Russell release as that sounds like an interesting pairing and heck, the cover is enough to grab you anyway. Other than that, that is pretty much it for me. Let me know what you want to hear this week and what we may have missed.

  • Jack Russell & Tracii Guns – Medusa – (Frontiers Records)
  • Neal Morse – The Restoration: Joseph, Pt. 2 (Frontiers Records)
  • Jim Peterik & World Stage – Roots & Shoots, Vol. 1 – (Frontiers Records)

You Pick It! – What Album to Review in March?

You, my reader, are going to pick an album for me to review each month.  It is really simple…first, I will give you 5 albums to choose from and second, you will tell me which one of those you would like to see reviewed on the site.  See…simple! Now, if you want to cast more than one vote, comment on the Twitter and Facebook post and you could get up to 3 votes on your favorite pick.

There are a few simple rules I have put in to place in my selections.  They are…

  • One has to be a new release (within the last month)
  • One has to be one I have never heard before (new releases don’t count for this one)
  • One has to be from a genre I don’t normally listen to at all or very often
  • And the last two are choices from my collection that I haven’t reviewed before

What are the 5 albums you ask?  Funny you should ask because I have those right here…

  New Release – Eddie Vedder – ‘Earthling’

  Never Heard Before – Kanye West – ‘The College Dropout’

  Not My Normal Genre – Daft Punk – ‘Random Access Memories’

  From My Collection – Slaughter – ‘Stick it to Ya’

  From My Collection – Tesla – ‘Psychotic Supper’

Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in March, I will post a review of the album that gets the most votes. You have one week to decide and from there I will start listening to the album and do a review.

Thanks for participating!!

Friday New Releases – July 23, 2021

Happy Friday Everyone! We have another long list of releases for you today and isn’t that why you came to this page…yeah, we know it is. Now this week there are only 2 I’m interested in. One that has been bought and will be here today and the other is one I want to try out as I liked the song I heard and my Canadian followers will be happy. My choices are highlighted in Blue. I am sure there is something on here for you as there is so much there is probably something for everyone. I hope you find something you like! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

  • 81GGJWyPWJL._SX522_  Stone Temple Pilots – Tiny Music…Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (25th Anniversary) – (Atlantics): This is a MUST HAVE!! I have ordered and it is on the way. The first two box sets in the Anniversary Series they are doing were top notch and this one looks great as well. You get a remastered album, a bonus disc of demos and such and then a live show from the era and that is all you want in a good box set. My Brother-In-Law worked on this one as well and he mixed a bunch of he unreleased stuff (or was it the live show, I can’t remember). Anyway, I am excited and I will be really excited if he remembers to get a me a copy of the 7″ Single that is only available on the STP Site.
  • 61cTmy45YSS._SX522_  Lee Aaron – Radio On – (Metalville): And here is a long standing Canadian artist that has been around for a long time and she still sounds fantastic. I heard the track I posted below and it has intrigued me to want to give the rest of the album a listen. Who doesn’t a love a woman who can rock out with the best of them!!
