BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Matthew Sweet, Catspaw (Omnivore) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

    Fwiw, the Wilbert Harrison collection does not include 'Let's Work Together,' his remake of his own 'Let's Stick Together,' which does appear here. (And yes, Canned Heat did 'Let's Work Together.')

    Liberation Hall is putting out some interesting releases. Impressed that even in this day and age someone is still taking the effort to put out old VHS-only music titles on DVD! Kudos to them.

    Maybe it's just me, but, oof, the new Matthew Sweet seems awfully expensive (especially for an album that is less than 40 minutes long).
