He Shall Be a Good Man: Elton John's 'Madman Across the Water' Gets Deluxe Edition
Elton John's breathtaking piano pop conjured up powerful images thanks to the lyrics of Bernie Taupin - but the duo were often writing about things before they experienced them. The Americana of 1970's Tumbleweed Connection, for instance, was indeed a fantasy; only within the year would Elton get his first taste of America - and the results powered his next studio album, 1971's appropriately-titled Madman Across the Water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rUarpBrfLI That album will be the

Official Release Series Volume 4
CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada LP: Greedy Hand Store A new box set brings together three of Neil Young's '80s albums, along with a rare EP making its widest release yet. Official Release Series Volume 4 runs the gamut of Young's eclectic output in the '80s - likely because it only covers his releases on his longtime home base of Reprise Records. (From 1982 to 1987, Young signed instead to Geffen Records.) The '80s were a time of transition and experimentation for Young - much
This Note's for You: Neil Young's Latest Albums Box Includes Rare 'Eldorado' EP
A new box set will bring together three of Neil Young's '80s albums, along with a rare EP making its widest release yet. Official Release Series Volume 4, available April 29, runs the gamut of Young's eclectic output in the '80s - likely because it only covers his releases on his longtime home base of Reprise Records. (From 1982 to 1987, Young signed instead to Geffen Records.) The '80s were a time of transition and experimentation for Young - much of it done on Geffen, though sparks of that
Open My Eyes: Ace Celebrates Todd Rundgren and Gus Dudgeon in Label's Producers Series
In recent weeks, Ace Records has made two new additions to its ongoing Producers Series, and both titles spotlight the versatility of the respective talents, Todd Rundgren and Gus Dudgeon. The Studio Wizardry of Todd Rundgren is, in many senses, an update of Rhino's 1992 compilation An Elpee's Worth of Productions. Like that set, it paints a portrait of the singer-songwriter largely in service of others' songs, though a handful of his own compositions appear, too. Ace's collection spans

I Saw the Light: BMG Collects Hank Williams' Radio Gospel Performances on "I'm Gonna Sing"
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin/Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night/Praise the Lord, I saw the light... Though Hank Williams is often remembered today as much for his hellraising ways as for his venerable songbook - a remarkable one that crossed genre lines via such stone-cold standards as "Hey, Good Lookin'," "Cold, Cold Heart," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," and "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You") - he was brought up in the church and its music stayed with
Vinyl Me, Please Releases Lavish "Story of Philadelphia International Records" Anthology

UPDATE - Glory of Love: Cherry Pop's Expansive Peter Cetera Box Arrives
UPDATED 3/1/22: As one of the seven members of Chicago as featured on their 1969 debut album Chicago Transit Authority, bassist-singer Peter Cetera's soaring tenor became an integral component of the band's sound on such hits as "25 or 6 to 4," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "Just You 'n' Me," and "(I've Been) Searching So Long." When his own composition "If You Leave Me Now" became Chicago's first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - not to mention in international territories such as Canada,
