Friday New Releases – July 3, 2020

Happy July 4th Weekend.  Man, this country needs to celebrate something because right now, there hasn’t been much worth celebrating.  This country is more fractured than ever, hopefully the rise of protests will actually bring some much needed and long overdue change.  We will see.  Anyway, back to the music.  There aren’t many releases this week because usually releasing around a holiday isn’t good for sales, but no one told these artists.  There is only one I am actually interested in (in Blue) and hopefully there is something for you. Tell me what you want to hear and what I missed.  Thanks and have a great weekend!!

  • download-11  Trapt – Shadow Work – (Crash Collide):  This California based rock band is back on their 8th album and I have followed them off and on through all their line-up changes and they still have the lead singer and bass player as original members which I am good with.  It is solid, modern rock and something great to have on when I need something a little heavy. Looking foward to see what they bring to the table this time around after 4 years since the last one.

  • A1qn0cDqM4L._SX522_  Willie Nelson – First Rose of Spring – (Sony Music):  Willie is back!!  That is enough for me.  I might get around to this one when I have time as he as earned that.

Friday New Releases – August 19th

Friday is finally here!  Work has been so busy, but we are done with our current project and I can hopefully not stress so much for a little bit.  To unwind I always listen to music and their are a couple I am really interested in and they are quite polar opposites of each other.  On one side is Lindsey Stirling and the other is Trapt.  Not even close to the same genre, but equally excited about both.  All my interests, as normal, are marked in blue.

  • 51vv4Gxv5ZL._AC_US160_  Lindsey Stirling – Brave Enough – (Lindseystomp Records):  This classical crossover sensation is back with her 3rd album.  Her violin playing is exceptional.  As a quarterfinalists on America’s Got Talent, she has gone on to such bigger and better things and I am now a huge fan.  Can’t wait to hear what she has in store for us.
