Let's face it: No matter how many Eric Claptons, Eddie Van Halens and other guitar geniuses there may be (and they are excellent), nobody will ever reach the legendary status of Jimi Hendrix. He didn't just play the guitar — he lived it. Even now, some thirty-plus years later, his music inspires an absolute awe. Every new release culled from the large archives controlled by his Experience Hendrix estate is eagerly anticipated.
The Rising is Bruce Springsteen's first all-new studio recording with the E-Street Band since 1984. The album is produced by Brendan O'Brien and features 14 new songs and the E-Street Band version of "My City of Ruins". The Rising was recorded this year at Southern Tracks Recording in Atlanta, GA with the E-Street Band, whose members are: Roy Bittan: keyboards; Clarence Clemons: saxophone, percussion; Danny Federici: keyboards; Nils Lofgren: guitars; Patti Scialfa: vocals, guitar; Garry Tallent: bass; Steven Van Zandt: guitars and Max Weinberg: drums.
Country rules again, and this time it is not Garth Brooks. Alan Jackson's Drive debuts at Number One simultaneously on the Billboard 200 and Top Country album charts. knocking off Creed's Weathered and eclipsing Jackson's namesake Michael, whose Invincible is at #25 and descending. Drive, Jackson's 11th album, sold over 420,000 units during the first week alone. The track list explains why this album struck such a chord with the American public: The songs deal with everyday life themes anyone can identify with. From growing up over a woman obsessed with improving her man all the way to a September 11-inspired "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)", which quickly shot to the top of Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The song is included actually twice, once as a studio recording and then again as the album closing bonus recorded live at the 35th CMA Awards where the song debuted. The full album track listing is: "Drive (For Daddy Gene)", "Bring On The Night", "Designated Drinker", "When Love Comes Around", "First Love", "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)", "Work In Progress", "A Little Bluer Than That", "The Sounds", "I Slipped And Fell In Love", "Once In A Lifetime Love", "That'd Be Alright", "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)-live". The album shooting through the roof like a rocket proves yet again that success does not necessarily demand a calculated compromise mixing pop and rock elements into basic country music. Be yourself, sing about life like it is and people will follow.
A digitally remastered CD reissue of Milk and Honey has joined the family of previously remastered Lennon albums Plastic Ono Band, Imagine and Double Fantasy. Seventeen years after its original release, the digitally remastered CD includes three bonus tracks and excerpts from Lennon's final interview, taped only hours before his death. Lennon and Ono worked on the album's material during that year, though the record didn't hit shelves until 1984. The bulk of the couple's final recordings appeared on 1980's Double Fantasy. The bonus tracks are two previously unreleased home recordings: Lennon's "I'm Stepping Out" and Ono's "I'm Moving On"; plus Lennon singing Ono's "Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him" from Double Fantasy, which has been previously featured on the 1990 box set Lennon Legend.

No, that's not this box title, but it could as well have been:
The latest offering of this perennial hard rock outfit is a 12 CD box set
containing six full concerts! Recorded during their March 2001
Australasian tour, the shows were taken directly from the soundboard
in either DAT or multi track formats. Hence, the box title
"Soundboard Series".
The concert performances included are:
Melbourne (March 9), Woolongong (March 13), Newcastle (March 14),
Hong Kong (March 20) and Tokyo (March 24 & March 25).
The two Tokyo shows feature a full 80-member symphony orchestra
(not the first time Purple teamed up with the "classics"),
plus a guest performance of Ronnie James Dio on 4 tracks.
Scheduled release date is June 20 in Australia, no current plans
to release the box elsewhere.
Excuse me: One Wild Night? Try some fifteen years worth of them, since this live album was recorded at Bon Jovi concerts spanning their entire career. From classic rockers "Livin' on a Prayer," "Bad Medicine," "You Give Love a Bad Name," and "Runaway" to anthems like "Keep the Faith," "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Something to Believe In" the album doubles up as a Greatest Hits package. Especially great are the covers of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" recorded in Johannesburg and the Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays" with Sir Bob Geldof having joined on vocals.|
