Oft-sampled soul-blues singer O.V. Wright's 1972 southern soul classic, featuring The Hi Records Rhythm Section, The Memphis Horns, and production by Willie Mitchell, was packaged much like a bootleg (complete with typos). That didn't stop it from earning cult status and fetching high coin on the secondary market. It's been out-of-print on vinyl since the 1980s; the last CD edition was released in 2010 and also commands top dollar. The LP features the R&B chart hits "Eight Men, Four

Straight to the Top: Southside Johnny Reissues Tom Waits Tribute "Grapefruit Moon"
At first glance, Southside Johnny Lyon and Tom Waits might seem at disparate ends of the musical spectrum. New Jersey native Lyon is a progenitor of the Jersey Shore sound with its brassy, party-time fusion of rock & roll and rhythm & blues. California's Waits came into prominence during that state's singer-songwriter boom, touching on folk before settling into a piano-based, jazz-influenced sound that he would ultimately jettison in favor of a more experimental and avant-garde

To Groove You: Cherry Red's Robinsongs Boxes Kleeer's Atlantic Albums
Richard Lee (guitar), Norman Durham (bass), Paul Crutchfield (percussion/keyboards) and Woody Cunningham (lead vocals/drums) united in 1972 as The Choice 4 before evolving into The Jam Band, Pipeline and, under the aegis of Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael, The Universal Robot Band. After flirting with R&B, funk, disco and even straight-ahead rock, the quartet settled as Kleeer and signed to Atlantic Records. Between 1979 and 1985, Kleeer released seven albums on Atlantic, proving worthy

The splashy production reopened the
Brian May Goes 'Back to the Light' with Expansion of Solo Debut

Rest in Blue
Rhino gives a digital release to a posthumous album from late troubadour Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011). Rest in Blue was assembled by the artist's daughter Martha Rafferty from demos recorded by her father; she stripped back the synthesizers applied by Gerry to place the focus squarely on his voice. The 14 songs were written and recorded at various periods in his career, and include originals as well as folk standards ("Wild Mountain Thyme," "Dirty Old Town"), a cover of Richard and Linda
