Sting spent this year releasing and touring an unconventional collection of his own songs - and now, he's reissuing it with a bonus disc of live material. My Songs found the venerable singer-songwriter revisiting his catalogue - both solo and with The Police - on an album that included revisited versions of his greatest hits. Some were remixed, some were re-recorded, but all showcased the influence of the man born Gordon Sumner for several decades running. Indeed, beyond chart-toppers like

Start Choppin: Cherry Red Expands Dinosaur Jr.'s Major Label Discography
The major label works of alt-rock act Dinosaur Jr. have recently been revisited by Cherry Red in a series of expanded reissues. At the beginning of the 1990s, the Amherst, Massachusetts-based trio had issued three records across the prior decade, the latter two on the seminal SST label. 1988's Bug topped the U.K. independent albums chart, after lead single "Freak Scene" reached the Top 5 of the country's indie singles chart.

In the 1980s, after a successful run as a key member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band as well as a key architect of the rock-and-soul-infused "Jersey Shore sound," Steven Van Zandt struck out on his own.

Story To Story, Building To Building: INXS Remix 'Live Baby Live' For New Theatrical Reissue
When producer Giles Martin signed on as INXS' executive music director in 2018 - not long after a 30th anniversary edition of Kick was issued - it was not immediately clear what that entailed. The latest fruits of the partnership have just been unveiled - but, frustratingly, don't mean as much for the Australian band's American fans. Next month, INXS will release a completely restored version of Live Baby Live, their 1991 concert film captured on their Summer XS date at London's Wembley

Way to Go Home: Rhino Compiles Lost Grateful Dead Album as "Ready or Not"

Unfortunately, with the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, the Dead were unable to complete them in the studio. Today, Rhino announced a new release that may prove to be the closest we'll ever get to

America's Gerry Beckley Returns with New Solo Album "Five Mile Road"

The artist may be celebrating 50 years with America, but he still has plenty to say. For his first solo album since 2016's Carousel, Beckley has reunited with many of the same collaborators.
