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
I'll Be Doggone: Ace Collects U.K. Motown Covers From The Hollies, Dusty, Cilla, and More
Ace Records has released a number of splendid Motown collections in recent years, but now the label is taking a different approach to the music of Hitsville, USA.

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 -

UPDATED: Back To The Garden: "Joni 75" Tribute Concerts To Arrive on CD, DVD, and Public Television
Few musicians have had as lasting an impact on music as Joni Mitchell. In her four-decade career, she made groundbreaking music that traversed genres and continually stunned fans and critics alike.

Spotlight On Nicole Croisille: "Il Était Une Fois...Nicole"
French singer and actress Nicole Croisille can be safely described as a national treasure in her homeland, but her fame has extended to international shores. One listen to her recordings, and it's easy to see why. She's perhaps most famous as the female voice of composer Francis Lai's irresistibly catchy "A Man and a Woman" ("Un homme et une femme") opposite Pierre Barouh from the 1966 film of the same name. (Croisille had a solo, translated as "Today It's You," on the soundtrack as well, and
