Though he's been - and continues to be - the subject of numerous reissues and releases, Gene Clark still remains somewhat of an enigma. The founding member of The Byrds (1944-1991) only released six solo studio albums within his too-short lifetime, bolstering a discography also containing group and collaborative efforts. But he left behind what seems like scores of unreleased tracks, much of which has been mined in the years since his death. In 2013, the Omnivore label issued his demos for
Wap Bam Boogie: Cherry Pop Expands Matt Bianco's "Indigo" to 3 CDs
Cherry Pop has just continued its reissue series celebrating U.K. outfit Matt Bianco with a 3-CD deluxe edition of 1988's Indigo.

By the time of Indigo, Matt Bianco was down to just two members. Vocalist Basia and keyboardist Danny White had both left the group after the first album (the duo would collaborate on every Basia solo

Heart and Soul: Omnivore Readies "The Death of Rock: Peter Holsapple vs. Alex Chilton"
Two weeks ago, on July 27, Omnivore Recordings released Game Day from Peter Holsapple, the dB's co-founder and singer-songwriter's first album in 21 years. It was, of course, filled with all of the melodic hooks and incisive lyrical turns of phrase one would expect from the multi-faceted artist. Now, Omnivore has uncovered a much less expected piece of Holsapple's history - and one which converges with the label's ongoing efforts to restore and revisit the catalogue of Big Star's Alex

Dee Snider, Jay Jay French, Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, Mark "The Animal" Mendoza, and A.J. Pero, along with producer Stuart Epps, reached a turning point with You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll.

Throughout her career, Marlena Shaw has traversed the worlds of jazz, R&B, soul, pop, funk, and dance with equal aplomb.

Give Me More, More, More: Bear Family Compiles The Ultimate Lefty Frizzell Box Set
The venerable Bear Family label is no stranger to the music of William Orville "Lefty" Frizzell (1928-1975), one of the most influential honky-tonk singers of all time. The German reissue specialists first compiled the Lefty oeuvre in 1984 as a 14-LP box set, updating that in 1992 on 12 CDs.

Fill My Little World: Cherry Red Reissues The Feeling's "Twelve Stops and Home" In Deluxe Box
The Feeling burst onto the scene from Horsham, West Sussex, England in early 2006 when their single "Sewn" became a top ten hit in their native United Kingdom. Across the pond, the song was featured on television's Medium and One Tree Hill, and worldwide, it was heard as part of the soundtrack to the football (or soccer)-themed video game FIFA 07. The melodic rock piano ballad had both a current radio-friendly sheen and a retro vibe reminiscent of pop's halcyon days. It was included in June
Another Sleepy Dusty Delta Day: Bobbie Gentry's Complete Capitol Masters Collected On New Box Set
Why did Billie Joe McAllister jump off the Tallahatchie Bridge? It's almost as big a mystery as why Bobbie Gentry vanished from view after 1981. Happily, the enigmatic singer-songwriter left behind an enduring and diverse body of work which is now being celebrated on a comprehensive box set from Universal's U.K. arm. On September 21, the 8-CD collection The Girl from Chickasaw County: The Complete Capitol Masters will collect all seven of Gentry's 1967-1971 Capitol Records studio albums plus
Love Kills: Joe Strummer's Solo Material Highlighted In New Collection
When it comes to Joe Strummer, 001 is the number to watch. That's the name of the upcoming box set that shines a deserved light on the late Clash frontman's work outside of his famous band - solo, with former bandmate Mick Jones, and with his 101ers and The Mescaleros. 001 arrives on September 28 from Ignition Records in an array of formats, including 2CD, 2CD Deluxe, 4LP, and a 2CD/4LP/7"/Cassette Super Deluxe edition.

Ride Like the Wind: "California Groove IV" Box Set Captures Sounds of Summer
Warner Music France is providing a breezy soundtrack for summer with the fourth installment of California Groove. Arriving seven years after Volume 3, this impressive 6-CD box set is a little bit country, a little bit-rock-and-roll - not to mention filled with pop, lounge, jazz, dance, R&B, soul, and beyond. It's too eclectic to be filed under "yacht rock," though many of that so-called genre's bright lights are here, including Christopher Cross and Steely Dan. What it is, however, is a

Thomas Dolby Goes 'Hyperactive' On New Compilation, Upcoming Tour
Thomas Dolby chronicled his singular life in the 2016 memoir The Speed of Sound. He detailed his career trajectory from "one hit wonder" new wave singer-songwriter (who, in fact, charted sixteen songs in the U.K. and three in the U.S.) to Silicon Valley entrepreneur. He's lately been spending his days as a university professor (decades after turning his back on the "family business" of academia), but this summer he's taking a break from the classroom to headline a short U.S. tour.
