Cleveland Rocks [Various Formats]
CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada Cleveland's rock scene during the '70s was largely championed by Steve Popovich, a former Cleveland resident who ended up being the head of A&R at Epic.

While You Were Out: Expanded Edition [CD]
Omnivore Recordings' series of Soul Asylum reissues has shone a light on their early years. On January 18, the label will release an expanded edition of While You Were Out. It was Soul Asylum's last independent album on Twin/Tone Records before the group signed with A&M Records. Originally released in 1986 (their third album that year!), it's considered by many to be their best work. Omnivore's reissue combines the original album with the 1988 rarities collection Clam Dip & Other

Live at Baker's
Recorded live in Detroit in 2006, Live at Baker's features The Funk Brothers' legendary guitarist Dennis Coffey and his band (two-time Detroit Music Award winner Demetrius Nabors on keys, Grammy-nominated Gaelynn McKinney on drums and bassist Damon Warmack) performing nine songs, including the standard "Moonlight in Vermont" and well-chosen covers of Miles Davis ("All Blues"), Freddie Hubbard (the bossa-flecked "Little Sunflower"), and The Temptations (the beautiful "Just My Imagination," the
Coffey At The Club: Unreleased Dennis Coffey Concert Arrives on "Live At Baker's"
Dennis Coffey's legacy is probably most tied to his legendary session work for Motown Records. As a member of The Funk Brothers, Coffey appeared on hits such as Edwin Starr's "War," The Temptations' "Ball of Confusion," and Stevie Wonder's cover of "We Can Work It Out." Coffey also performed on recordings by Wilson Pickett, Parliament/Funkadelic, and even produced Rodriguez's debut, Cold Fact. But Coffey, still active to this day, also shines as a live performer. Last summer, Omnivore

The former Bronski Beat and Communards vocalist's third solo album, it was his first after leaving his longtime home of London Records.

Too Wild To Tame: Meat Loaf, Ian Hunter, Ronnie Spector, and More Collected on "Cleveland Rocks"
"Cleveland Rocks" is the name of one of Ian Hunter's best-loved compositions. First released in 1979, it's since became the de-facto anthem of the city, a rock proclamation whose title has always rung true. Cleveland's rock scene during the '70s was largely championed by Steve Popovich, a former Cleveland resident who ended up being the head of A&R at Epic. In mid-1976, he left the corporate rock world and headed back home to Cleveland, where he set up Cleveland International Records, part

How Can I Keep From Singing: Pete Seeger's Centennial Celebrated With "The Smithsonian Collection," 6-CD Box Including Previously Unreleased Music
May 3rd will mark 100 years since the birth of Pete Seeger. He was a musician of incalculable influence, an activist, lyricist, banjo picker, and, most significantly, a unifier of the masses. Like a Johnny Appleseed of music, Pete Seeger spent his life spreading music to all that would listen. From "We Shall Overcome" and "If I Had A Hammer," and "The Bells of Rhymney," to "Turn! Turn! Turn!" "Wimoweh," and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," Seeger left an indelible mark on music history that

Different Drummer: Edsel Collects Michael Nesmith's RCA and Pacific Arts Years on New Box Set
And the Hits Just Keep On Comin'. Michael Nesmith titled his 1972 RCA album ironically - when it "bubbled under" the Billboard 200 at No. 208, it actually bested its predecessor by three slots - but the LP did feature the former and future Monkee's rendition of one major favorite, "Different Drum." The 1965 tune became an enduring hit for the Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt in 1967, establishing Nesmith outside of The Monkees. Since 1968, he's released 16 albums. Now, 12 of them -
