Living in the Sunshine: Bruce Hornsby Expands 'Spirit Trail' for 25th Anniversary
Bruce Hornsby has made a career out of defying expectations. This fall, one of his most eclectic albums of a less commercial period - the late '90s - will be expanded and revisited for its 25th anniversary: 1998's Spirit Trail. The lengthy double album will feature four outtakes from a "lost" full-band follow-up to Spirit Trail that was abandoned in favor of 2002's Big Swing Face, a more electronic effort backed by his then-new band The Noisemakers. The CD version of the reissue will feature

The Land of Make Believe: The Definitive Collection lives up to its name, gathering 39 single

Is Your Love in Vain? Bob Dylan Expands Budokan Live Album for New Box Set
There was something about Midwestern-born rockers on the CBS Records roster making stops at the Nippon Budokan Hall in Japan. In 1979, Columbia issued not one but two live albums from the Tokyo venue, both simply titled At Budokan. While the one by Cheap Trick essentially made them stars in their home country, a double album of rearranged hits from Bob Dylan sharply polarized fans and critics. Now, on November 17, the Dylan camp is re-examining the artist's time in Japan with a brand-new box

Heart-Shaped Box: Nirvana's "In Utero" Returns in 30th Anniversary Box Set Editions
The culmination of the band's tragically short career, Nirvana's In Utero initially stoked fears over its raw, aggressive, and seemingly uncommercial sound. To say that those fears were unfounded is an understatement: the 1993 album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the U.K. Albums Chart, and has since been certified 6x Platinum in the United States.
