Review: The Band, "Music from Big Pink: 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition"
The house on Parnassus Lane, formerly Stoll Road, in West Saugerties, New York might be one of rock and roll's least likely landmarks, with its unassuming residential façade distinguished only by its pink siding. But the colorful house bore witness to the birth of some of the greatest songs in American pop history when Bob Dylan and his band - soon to be The Band - recorded "The Basement Tapes" there. When Capitol Records subsequently signed Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Rick

You Go To My Head: Legacy Reissues Legendary LP "The Voice of Frank Sinatra"
In a career encompassing seven decades, Frank Sinatra blazed many trails. Yet his role in the birth of the long-playing record, or LP, is oddly among his lesser-known accomplishments.

Cherry Red's Doctor Bird imprint is shining the spotlight on arguably the most significant female artist of the rocksteady genre, Phyllis Dillon.

Review: Michael Nesmith and The First National Band Redux, "Live at The Troubadour"
Michael Nesmith always traveled to the beat of a different drum. While serving as one-fourth of The Monkees, Nesmith was expanding his musical horizons beyond the group's infectious Brill Building pop stylings. "I wanted beautiful music wherever I could find it," he writes in the liner notes to his new release on 7a Records. "But if I wanted to sing it myself and write it myself, I had to have an understanding of what that music was, and how to get to it. So, the first place I looked was in
