The Second Disc is proud to announce the first Second Disc Records/Real Gone Music release of 2021 - and it's one that's been years in the making! Michael Nesmith has always travelled to the beat of a "Different Drum"-whether as the writer of that classic hit for Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Poneys, the wool hat-clad member of The Monkees, or one of the earliest progenitors of the country-rock genre. In recent years, Nesmith has penned the critically acclaimed autobiography Infinite Tuesday,

Tom Petty's 1994 solo album Wildflowers yielded the instant classics "You Don't Know How It Feels," "You Wreck Me," and of course the enduring title track.

I Found Out: John and Yoko's "Plastic Ono Band" Box Due in April
The July 1969 single release of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" marked the first time that the name of the Plastic Ono Band appeared on a record label. Lennon and his new wife Yoko Ono - they'd married in March - resolved to use the flexible band handle for whichever group happened to be playing with them; the onstage document Live Peace in Toronto 1969 was credited to the band, as was the harrowing single "Cold Turkey." "Instant Karma!" modified the name slightly to "John Lennon and Yoko

The Weekend Stream: February 27, 2021

I Can See For Miles: The Who Announce Rarities-Filled Deluxe Reissue of "The Who Sell Out" Due April 23
If you're troubled and you can't relax, close your eyes and think on this... So begins "Armenia City in the Sky," the first track on The Who Sell Out. Originally released in December 1967, the album reflects not only the hippie counterculture, but also the maturing of rock music as an art form. Here, The Who go between psych-rock, pop, childlike ditties, jazzy ballads, and even a rock opera - not to mention the breakthrough hit "I Can See For Miles". It's tied together (rather loosely)

Review: Elvis Costello and The Attractions, "Armed Forces: Super Deluxe Edition"
"Hey Clockface, keep those fingers on the dial," Elvis Costello implored on the jaunty, jazz-flavored title track of his 2020 album. "You said you'd be a friend to me, but time is just my enemy and it is hurting me so..." Despite his pleas, time has been rather good to Costello's artistry. Though initially branded an "angry young man" - and indeed, he channeled the punk zeitgeist early on with his fast and furious compositions - Costello has been able to travel wherever his muse takes him.

Batteries Not Included: Rhino, Chrysalis Reissue Jethro Tull's "A" in 40th Anniversary Box
1979's Stormwatch could have been the final Jethro Tull record. The culmination of the band's "folk-rock trilogy" that began with Songs from the Wood in 1977, Stormwatch was the final album to feature Tull's classic line-up. Barriemore Barlow, John Evan, and Dee Palmer all departed the group after the April 1980 conclusion of the Stormwatch tour, and John Glascock died during the tour. With the band seemingly dissolved, Ian regrouped with guitarist Martin Barre to record a solo album. But
