Nobody I'd Sooner Love: Cherry Red Collects The Paper Dolls' Girl Group Sounds
Pauline Bennett, Sue Marshall, and Susie Mathis - a.k.a. The Paper Dolls - worked their way up the showbiz ranks, from taking second billing to strippers all the way to pop stardom.

Review: Chris Hillman, "The Asylum Years"
Chris Hillman is surely one of rock's largely unsung heroes. A veteran of groups including The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Desert Rose Band, and supergroup The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, Hillman last year released the acclaimed album Bidin' My Time - only his seventh solo album. Produced by Tom Petty (one of the late superstar's last projects) with one foot in the past and another in the present, the LP reaffirmed the artist's deserved place in the pantheon. Now, Omnivore

When Will I Be Loved: Morello Reissues Two Phil Everly Solo Albums Featuring Warren Zevon

Who, What, When, Where, Why: Rupert Holmes' "Songs That Sound Like Movies" OUT TODAY from Cherry Red [UPDATED]
There are songs that sound like movies/There are themes that fill the screen/There are lines I say that sound as if they're written/There are looks I wear the theatre should have seen... With those words, Rupert Holmes welcomed listeners into his singular musical world - one in which the only limits were those of the singer-songwriter's boundless imagination.
