Return of the Okie from Muskogee: Live Merle Haggard Records Paired for Reissue
If you like livin' right and free, you're going to love the recent revelation that Merle Haggard's famed live album Okie from Muskogee will be reissued next week, paired with a follow-up live record making its CD debut. Named for the 1969 country chart-topper that's easily Haggard's signature song - a tongue-in-cheek lampooning of the liberal values that were taking youth culture by storm at the time - Okie from Muskogee is a perfect distillation of Haggard's unique voice and sound, a uniquely

On May 27, they'll do just that with KISS 40, a new two-disc anthology of their hits. As previously promised, KISS 40 features one track from each of their studio and live albums, as well as tracks from each of the original band

And We Love Them: "A Hard Day's Night" Added to Criterion Collection for 50th Anniversary
Despite the insistence of punk rock saint Joe Strummer, Beatlemania seems no closer to biting the dust in 2014. Apple Corps have made quite the big deal out of this year's 50th anniversary mark of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr making their first trip to America in 1964, branding a generation with their blend of highly original, mania-inducing pop/rock. November saw the release of a second volume of recordings for the BBC and a copyright-busting,

R.E.M. "Unplugged" Set to Complicate Your Life on Record Store Day
A then-unheard of gap of three years stood between R.E.M.'s first two albums for Warner Bros. Records - 1988's Green and 1991's Out of Time - so there's still time to go before the departed band's ongoing 25th anniversary album remaster campaign enters the 1990s. With that, Warner Bros. is instead releasing, for the first time, two complete live sets the band recorded for the beloved MTV Unplugged series. Both sets will first be available in a single, four-disc vinyl box set to be released on
Big Day: XTC's "Skylarking," with Improved Sound, to Get CD Reissue
Four years after it was upgraded for vinyl, XTC's Skylarking will get the same sonic upgrade on CD next month. XTC's ninth (and arguably best) album found them working an uneasy alliance with producer Todd Rundgren, with whom singer-songwriter Andy Partridge found himself frequently at odds with (despite Partridge's lasting respect for Rundgren's work on the album). But a spate of killer songs by Partridge ("Summer's Cauldron," "Earn Enough for Us") and vocalist/bassist Colin Moulding (singles

CCR Take It Back to '69 with Record Store Day Compilation
Creedence Clearwater Revival are taking it back to the year it all started - sort of - for a new compilation to be released on Record Store Day. To those who were paying attention, Creedence Clearwater Revival were pretty active before 1969. Singer-songwriter-guitarist John Fogerty, older brother/rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford had been performing and recording together in their native San Francisco since 1959, first under the name of The Blue Velvets
