On November 30, Neil Young will release Songs For Judy, a 23-track collection of previously unreleased solo acoustic performances from his legendary 1976 tour of the U.S. The album will first be released on CD and
Holding Back the Years: Rhino to Deliver Reimagined Orchestral Classics with "'80s Symphonic"
Looking back from a vantage point thirty years on, there's no denying the special place that the 1980s have in the history of popular music. It was a decade that surveyed past musical ground while simultaneously advancing the art form further, making an indelible mark on music to come. With dancefloor grooves, yearning ballads, infectious pop, and more, it was a decade of great music. Now, Rhino has announced a new collection that reimagines some of the smash hits from the decade: 80s

How The Story Goes: Cherry Red Collects REO Speedwagon's "Early Years" On New Box Set
When "Keep on Loving You" reached the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980, some listeners could be forgiven for thinking that REO Speedwagon came out of nowhere. Prior to that seminal power ballad, the Illinois-formed band had never attained a chart position higher than No. 56 ("Time for Me to Fly," 1978). When the success of "Take It on the Run" (No. 5) quickly followed, it was clear that REO Speedwagon was here to stay. But their success was hard-earned, and their catalogue already

For their fourth album, Road to Ruin, the band would continue on the path blazed on 1977's Rocket to Russia with stronger playing, stronger production, stronger songwriting, bigger hooks, and more varied
