Huey Lewis & The News

After a near-decade-long break, Huey Lewis & The News finally re-emerged with a new album in 2010: Soulsville, an easygoing set of covers from the Stax Records songbook.  But there was plenty of street cred to go around: the group recorded at Memphis' legendary Ardent Studios alongside one of the label's original engineers, Jim Gaines (who'd been at the desk for the band's blockbusters Sports and Fore!). Critics dug the inspired choices beyond notable hits like "Cry to Me" and "Respect Yourself," and the album managed to eke out a Top 20 performance on Billboard's R&B albums chart.  BMG brings it back to CD on this new reissue.
