Welcome to another edition of The Weekend Stream, The Second Disc's review of notable catalogue titles (and some new ones, too!) making digital debuts. This week's offerings are particularly reflective, packed with tributes and goodbyes (both editorial and musical) and a little dust of new Disney magic.

Dolly Parton, "If You Hadn't Been There" (Butterfly) (iTunes / Amazon)

On her first day in Nashville at the age of 18, a rising country musician named Dolly Parton had a chance encounter with Carl Dean, owner of a local asphalt business, at a laundromat. In 1966, a year before releasing her first full-length LP Hello, I'm Dolly, the pair married - and although the publicity-averse Dean was rarely seen with his wife, theirs was a love story that kept a solid foundation for Parton as she ascended to the genre's highest heights. Dean died Monday at the age of 82, and Parton has shared this moving tribute to the love of her life.

Kenny Rogers, "The Gambler (VAVO Remix)" (Capitol Nashville/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

This intriguing electronic reinvention of country Kenny's enduring 1978 crossover hit is meant to mark the five-year anniversary of Rogers' passing this month. And UMe is planning more to come this month, including rare Spanish-language versions that have never been released in the U.S. and the digital debut of albums by The First Edition!

Rachel Zegler, "Waiting on a Wish" (Walt Disney Records) (iTunes / Amazon)

At the box office this month, Disney will release its latest live-action reimagining of a classic animated feature; this time, they're going back to the beginning with a take on the first feature-length cartoon ever made, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, who shot to fame as Maria in Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story, will star opposite Wonder Woman lead Gal Gadot as the Wicked Queen. The film balances classic tunes from the 1937 film ("Heigh-Ho," "Someday My Prince Will Come," "Whistle While You Work") with new songs from the team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman) - the first of which, an "I Want" song called "Waiting on a Wish," is available to listen to now.

Subway, Good Times (Expanded Edition) (Mercury/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

A signee of New Edition/Bel Biv DeVoe impresario Michael Bivins' Biv 10 Records, this Chicago quartet got off to a strong start with "This Lil' Game We Play," a No. 15 pop hit featuring girl group labelmates 702 that was co-written and co-produced by R&B scion Gerald Levert. Though they mustered no other Top 40 hits and broke up shortly after the release of their sole album Good Times, it's ripe for rediscovery for '90s R&B fans, now expanded with four bonus edits and mixes.

Finally, here's Joe with a pair of tributes to two musical legends we lost this week.

David Johansen (1950-2025) had a career like no other: frontman of the proto-punk pioneers The New York Dolls; creator of the MTV-friendly retro-hep swinger persona Buster Poindexter; actor; satellite radio DJ; subject of a Martin Scorsese documentary; elder statesman of rock and roll. While Johansen once called "Hot Hot Hot" - his first hit song - "the bane of my life," there's no denying the joy the infectious anthem brought (and continues to bring) fans of all ages. Think of Buster and "Hot Hot Hot" as a gateway drug to the groundbreaking and influential music Johansen made with The New York Dolls. Both in the Dolls and as Buster, Johansen also realized the significance of fashion to music. With the Dolls, he challenged gender norms through his dress. As the nattily-attired Buster, he elevated novelty songs into performance art. In any persona, David Johansen was an American original.

Though best known as Badfinger's guitarist, Joey Molland (1947-2025) enjoyed a career that saw him record with Gary Walker and The Rain and Natural Gas as well as in a solo capacity, most recently with the 2020 Omnivore release Be True to Yourself. (It also sounds like our friends at Iconoclassic will be reintroducing fans to the Natural Gas album this year.) Indeed, Joey Molland did stay true to himself - whether keeping the Badfinger name alive after countless tragedies befell the band or touring alongside the likes of Todd Rundgren and Christopher Cross to celebrate his old friends The Beatles. Joey Molland grew up near Liverpool's actual Penny Lane and was a rock-and-roll survivor who continued to play music well into the 21st century for the love of it. His warm and magnetic presence will be greatly missed.
