It feels like it's been a long time since the last batch of Playlist titles from Legacy (by our records, it's been five months), but a bunch of new titles are on shelves as of yesterday.
There's a lot of country and modern rock in this batch, including titles from Gene Autry, Phil Vassar and Joe Diffie (on the country end) and Say Anything, Coheed and Cambria and Mudvayne (on the rock end). There's also one from rap/reggae artist Matisyahu (surely you recall the Orthodox Jewish musician, whose toasting abilities were stunningly high), sets from The Hooters, Kris Kristofferson, Rosemary Clooney and Phoebe Snow and at least one title pushed back from a previous batch (Philly-soulsters The Intruders).
All the sets are pretty generic hits-and-album-cuts compilations, the standard Playlist fare for sure (the Phil Vassar set is actually identical to his 2006 compilation Greatest Hits Vol. 1), but the set for former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland features a great amount of remixes from promos and hard-to-find CD singles that hardcore fans would probably want to add to their collections.
Hit the jump to check out all the titles and order them on Amazon here.

Hank says
I'm hoping for Dylan "Playlist" comps devoted to his 90's and 00's output (to go with the 60's, 70's and 80's editions).
