Say It's Your Birthday: The Beatles Mark 50 Years of The White Album with Deluxe Reissue

September 24, 2018 By Joe Marchese 25 Comments

Beatles White Album Packshot

It's officially named for the band that created it, but to listeners around the world, the 1968 double-album will forever be known as The White Album.  Its sprawling, eclectic lineup of 30 tracks showcased every side of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, and cast its musical net wider from the baroque pop majesty of Sgt. Pepper's to a heavier celebration of all things, and all sounds, rock-and-roll.  Just a few of its classic songs include "Back in the USSR," "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "While My Guitar

Review: Willie Nelson, "My Way"

September 21, 2018 By Joe Marchese 2 Comments

Willie Nelson My Way

Last week, Willie Nelson made headlines when he announced that he would be playing a concert in support of Texas' Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, Beto O'Rourke.  News outlets made much of the fact that some of the artist's conservative fans perceived a betrayal, but in truth, Nelson has always followed his heart and stayed true to his own convictions.  He shared that in common with the late Frank Sinatra, his friend and onetime duet partner.  The appropriately-titled My Way is a heartfelt

If You See Her, Say Hello: Bob Dylan's Next Bootleg Series Offers "More Blood, More Tracks"

September 20, 2018 By Joe Marchese 4 Comments

More Blood More Tracks packshot

Fresh off a two-record stint with Asylum, Bob Dylan returned to Columbia Records in 1975 with one of the most acclaimed records of his career.  Blood on the Tracks found Dylan reinvigorating the "confessional" singer-songwriter genre, even as he repeatedly insisted that the album's songs had no relation to his own life and then-recent marital turmoil.  Whatever the truth, Blood on the Tracks was painfully raw, vulnerable, and altogether exquisite, boasting such all-time classic compositions as
