Time heralded it as exquisite, Slant Magazine called it one of the 100 Best Albums of the '90s, and even Alex Lifeson of Rush praised its cross-genre vibe. A touchstone of electronic music, Vanessa Daou's landmark album Zipless: Songs From the Works of Erica Jong will soon celebrate its 25th anniversary with a brand-new reissue.

Eyes On The Prize: John Mellencamp Collects Covers On New Album, "Other People's Stuff"
When John Mellencamp was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, Billy Joel remarked that, "People need to hear a voice like yours to echo the discontent that's in the heartland. They need to hear stories about it. They need to know that someone out there feels the way they do." Though Mellencamp has never sought to be the voice of the Small Town, his stories of struggle, loss, perseverance, and love have spoken to the American heartland for more than forty years. For his
The Name's Barry...John Barry: Composer's Early Sides Collected On New 3-CD Box Set
Throughout a long, celebrated career, the late John Barry scored roughly 100 films (including eleven James Bond movies), picked up five Academy Awards, penned classic television themes, and wrote five musicals.

But the New York singer-songwriter wasn't to be solitary for very long, as he soon gained the worldwide audience that, over 50 years later, still follows each one of his musical endeavors. Diamond has just looked back on his remarkable career on a handsome new box set from Capitol Records and UMe. 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition expands upon the similarly-titled
Review: Chris Darrow and Max Buda, "Eye of the Storm"
Last month, the L.A.-based label Blixa Sounds unveiled its latest release, the first-ever reissue of Chris Darrow and Max Buda's Eye of the Storm. The 1981 collaboration brought together two psych-rock heavyweights, whose multi-instrumental talents and joyous style are on full display throughout. It's hard to believe, but the album has never received any sort of reissue or re-pressing since its original release on the legendary Takoma label 37 years ago. Now, Blixa Sounds has brought the

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Elvis Presley, "'68 Comeback Special: 50th Anniversary Edition"
Elvis had a lot riding on his December 1968 NBC-TV special. Once the brightest star in the galaxy - and one whose every freeing move caused ripples in American society - he was no longer at the top of the charts. A string of lightweight movie musicals had rendered the once-"dangerous" entertainer as wholesome as apple pie. At the time of the broadcast, Elvis' most recent single ("Guitar Man") had failed to crack the top 40 and he hadn't had a chart-topper since "Good Luck Charm" in 1962. He

The ten tracks on the former are all modern-day standards, each and every one of them still a radio staple. Though the original
