Holiday Gift Guide Review: The Doors, "The Soft Parade: 50th Anniversary Edition"
Tell all the people that you see/Follow me... With those words penned by bandmate Robbie Krieger, Jim Morrison invited listeners to the world of The Doors' fourth studio album, The Soft Parade. Originally released on July 18, 1969, it was the fourth consecutive top ten smash for Messrs. Morrison, Krieger, Manzarek, and Densmore, but in the ensuing years it's also become one of the group's most divisive - primarily for its extensive use of orchestral arrangements. To mark its fiftieth

Thanks For the Dance: Leonard Cohen's Final Farewell Reviewed

Back in the USSR: Elton John Announces "Live From Moscow 1979" on CD and Vinyl

Birds A-Plenty: Bert Jansch's "Avocet" To Receive Expanded 40th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue
Few figures have been as influential in the development of the acoustic guitar as British folk revival hero Bert Jansch. His 1965 self-titled debut brought him instant renown among other guitarists, including Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Paul Simon and more. He continued on as one-fifth of Pentangle and released a litany of stunning albums, both solo and with the likes of John Renbourn. But when the boundary-pushing guitarist recorded his 1979 album Avocet, he was creating something decidedly

Revolution Rock: The Clash Celebrate Landmark Anniversary With "London Calling Scrapbook" and Vinyl Reissue
When The Clash released their third studio effort, London Calling in December 1979, they unleashed an instant classic. The double album -- with its diverse blend of punk, reggae, rockabilly, ska, R&B and jazz -- was quickly heralded as a high-water mark for the band and for punk music. John Rockwell of The New York Times wrote in 1980 that London Calling "reveals depths of invention and creativity barely suggested by the band's previous work." The same yearm Down Beat 's Michael Goldberg

Shadows and Reflexions: High Moon Records Collects Rarities from Curt Boettcher and Friends
High Moon Records' new collection from Curt Boettcher and Friends, Looking for the Sun, takes its title from a 1968 Boettcher production for singer-songwriter Gordon Alexander. Given Boettcher's participation, one might expect the song to be a dreamy SoCal pop fantasia with richly layered harmonies. But instead it's a rather sparse, dark rumination with an acid coffeehouse feel. Alexander, in the song at least, doesn't find the sun, and arguably, neither did Curt Boettcher in his lifetime. But
