Welcome to The Weekend Stream, a relaxing review of notable digital-only catalogue titles. There may be no CD or vinyl, but there's plenty of great new/old music to float you into the weekend. This week's latest brings you a classic country centennial, remixes from Luther Vandross & Janet Jackson and The Art of Noise, a rare album from a songwriter moonlighting as a singer, hard-to-find Olivia Newton John songs and so much more!

Hank Williams, Hank 100: Greatest Radio Hits (BMG Rights Management) (iTunes / Amazon)

The initial puzzle piece in a planned centennial celebration for the country legend, this set gathers 25 of his most familiar compositions, from "Move It On Over" to "I Saw the Light."

Luther Vandross & Janet Jackson, The Best Things in Life Are Free (A&M) (iTunes / Amazon)

An all-star team-up of Luther, Janet and producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "The Best Things in Life Are Free" became a U.S. No. 10 hit off the soundtrack to the film Mo' Money in 1992 but scored three places higher in the U.K. three years later, when it was remixed and released to tie into Janet's Design of a Decade 1986-1996 compilation. Some of those remixes (plus a 1992 re-do by C.J. Mackintosh) are joined together on this digital EP.

Art of Noise, Closer to the Edit (ZTT) (iTunes / Amazon)

Following a newly-compiled selection of "Close (to the Edit)" versions, ZTT's digital Definition Series brings about the last un-digitized 12" from 2019's Daft As a Brush! Record Store Day collection, featuring even more versions of The Art of Noise's signature sound.

Olivia Newton-John, I Need Love: The Back to Basics Bonus EP (Geffen) (iTunes / Amazon)

The late Australian singer's Back to Basics, issued in 1992, was a generous double-disc compilation that spanned every phase of Olivia's career - both her hits on the pop and country charts. These four songs were exclusive to the collection, and featured a terrific gamut of collaborating producers, including Guy Roche and Diane Warren, Giorgio Mororder, Peter Asher and her longtime producer John Farrar.

Mark James, Mark James (Bell) (iTunes / Amazon)

You might not know his name, but Mark James wrote a spate of unforgettable hits in the late '60s and early '70s, including B.J. Thomas' "Hooked on a Feeling" (later covered by Blue Swede) and a trio of latter-day greats for Elvis Presley ("Suspicious Minds," "Always on My Mind" and "Moody Blue"). James' first solo album, released in 1973 and co-produced by the artist with Steve Tyrell, is a lush slice of country folk that's worth a (re)discovery.

Seawind, Light the Light (A&M) (Amazon)

Jazz fusion band Seawind were probably best known for their horn section, whose members - trumpeter Jerry Hey and saxophonists/wind players Kim Hutchcroft and Larry Williams - were first-call session players in the '70s and '80s. (The same year Light the Light came out, they were key players on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall.) That signature brass is hard to pass up, and getting this one back into digital print is a win for liner notes geeks everywhere.

Duke Ellington, Ellington in Order, Volume 4 (1932) (Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

This collection of 54 sides and alternate takes from 1932 is anchored by one of the first titles Ellington and his orchestra recorded that year: the immortal "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing."

Crystal Waters, Gypsy Woman: The Collection (Mercury/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

With music in her lineage (her great aunt was Ethel Waters, one of the first Black singers to make it in Hollywood), Ethel Waters was a background singer before making the jump to solo stardom with a sound that combined jazz and house music. "Gypsy Woman," with its earworm keyboard riff and "la da dee, la da da" refrain, became a worldwide Top 10, and follow-up "100% Pure Love" was also successful. This 2001 compilation features 10 of her most popular songs plus four rare dance remixes.

Joe Cocker, Stingray (A&M) (iTunes / Amazon)

The British singer's sixth album featured, like so many of his albums, striking interpretations of rock standards and tunes by notable names. Here, the highlights are a take on Leon Russell's "A Song for You" and two by Bob Dylan: a reggae-inspired take on "The Man in Me" (arranged by Peter Tosh) and "Catfish," recorded for Dylan's Desire (released that same year) but unreleased until the first volume of The Bootleg Series in 1991.

Pulp, Bad Cover Version EP (Island/UMO) (iTunes / Amazon)

The second single from Pulp's We Love Life was backed by B-sides that did appear on stateside copies of the album, but this EP also features the song's video remix as well as a not-so-bad cover version that was included on U.K. singles: a version of "Disco 2000" with Nick Cave.

Vercua Salt, Blow It Out Your Ass It's Veruca Salt (Geffen) (iTunes / Amazon)

After the success of debut album American Thighs (1994) and its single "Seether," grunge trio Vercua Salt recorded this terrifically-named EP with Steve Albini, a four-song burst of energy that'll appeal to fans of the genre.

Pat Boone, Pat Boone Sings (Expanded Edition) (Dot/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

Boone's second greatest hits album featured on LP a myriad of his Top 10 easy-listening hits, including the chart-topper "April Love" and Top 10s "A Wonderful Time Up There," "Sugar Moon" and "If Dreams Came True." This expanded edition more than doubles the track list with alternate versions and mixes of the songs plus others.
