The Mother They Share: CHVRCHES Revisit Debut for 10th Anniversary

August 17, 2023 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

CHVRCHES 10

CHVRCHES have really had some moments in the last few years. The Scottish electronic trio has toured relentlessly, working up enough presence to secure a new deal away from longtime indie home Glassnote, signing to Island Records in 2022. And the band are celebrating with a well-earned rest: frontwoman Lauren Mayberry is releasing her first solo music and supporting it with a tour this fall. But CHVRCHES proper is all about celebration this season, specifically the 10th anniversary of their

Break out your speakers and climb aboard: another remix of an XTC album by Steven Wilson is coming to CD and Blu-ray this fall. Following expanded remixes of Drums and Wires, Black Sea, Skylarking, Oranges & Lemons and Nonsuch as well as the Dukes of Stratosphear collection Psurroundabout Ride, Wilson has worked his stereo and surround magic on one of the two missing releases in that 1980-1992 run: The Big Express.

Not Like We Love Our Freedom: Joni Mitchell's Third "Archives" Revisits 1972-1975 Period

August 17, 2023 By Joe Marchese 6 Comments

Joni Archives 3

"The sound of this thing was like, 'We're breaking some new ground here.'" Earlier this year, musician-arranger-bandleader Tom Scott of the L.A. Express reminisced to the U.K.'s MOJO magazine about working with Joni Mitchell on her 1972 album For the Roses. Indeed, Scott realized early on that the merging of folk and jazz sensibilities was about to take the singer-songwriter's music to the next level. Mitchell's creatively groundbreaking 1972-1975 albums - For the Roses, Court and Spark (1974),

A1 on the Jukebox: 7a Reissues Dave Edmunds and Rockpile's "Tracks on Wax 4" and "Repeat When Necessary"

August 16, 2023 By Joe Marchese 12 Comments

Dave Edmunds Repeat When Necessary

Throughout a career spanning six decades, Dave Edmunds never strayed far from the primal power of genuine rock-and-roll.  After stints in various bands - most notably, Love Sculpture - the Welsh singer-guitarist struck out on his own and scored a U.K. Christmas chart-topper in 1970 with a cover of Dave Bartholomew's "I Hear You Knocking."   In January 1972, he released his first solo album: Rockpile.  Its title would figure prominently in Edmunds' future as he co-founded a band of that name with

Cherry Red's El Label Celebrates Burt Bacharach, Leonard Bernstein on New Box Sets

August 15, 2023 By Joe Marchese 5 Comments

Burt Bacharach Dream Big

In recent months, Cherry Red's El imprint has turned its attention to a pair of legendary American composers.  Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) and Burt Bacharach (1928-2023) were born just a decade apart, though Bacharach lived more than three decades longer than Bernstein.  Neither man was born in New York City, but both created much of their remarkable work there.  Both were proud Jewish Americans, and both wrote for the musical theatre.  An American in New York: Leonard Bernstein - The City

Review: Elvis Presley, "Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite: 50th Anniversary Edition"

August 14, 2023 By Joe Marchese 8 Comments

Elvis Aloha from Hawaii 2023

When Elvis Presley said Aloha from Hawaii 50 years ago, the whole world was watching - or close to it.  The King, fashionably late, stepped onstage at Honolulu's International Center (capacity at the time: roughly 6,000) at 1:00 a.m. on January 14, 1973 for a scheduled 12:30 a.m. concert.  Satellites were beaming the program to a reported audience of over one billion.  Another fanciful claim by Colonel Parker?  Perhaps.  But Aloha was a technological achievement.  It was the most expensive

Merry Christmas, Baby: Johnny Mathis Celebrates the Holiday Season with New Studio Album "Christmas Time Is Here"

August 11, 2023 By The Second Disc 10 Comments

Johnny Mathis Christmas Time Is Here

Johnny Mathis is known the world over as The Voice of Romance, but the legendary vocalist deserves another title, as well: The Voice of Christmas.  Mathis' very first holiday album, 1958's Merry Christmas, sold over five million copies and remains one of the biggest-selling Christmas albums of all time.  Now, Mathis is back with his first album since 2017 and his first yuletide set in a decade. Christmas Time Is Here arrives on October 13 in CD and digital formats from Legacy Recordings and

Jason Isbell Southeastern 10

Already enjoying a burgeoning solo career after his time with the alt-country group Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell established a presence as one of the genre's most intriguing performers with his fourth album Southeastern, released in 2013. Ten years later, he's revisiting the record in a deluxe edition. The remastered and expanded Southeastern will combine the original album with two alternate listens: a disc featuring demo versions of every track on the album and a set

I Ain't Gonna Worry: Motown Preps Digital Deluxe for 50th Anniversary of Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'

August 10, 2023 By Mike Duquette 8 Comments

Let's Get It On 50

No need to hold back for so long: Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On will be celebrated this month with a digital deluxe edition packed with unreleased tracks. Following the stirring social consciousness of his last album, 1971's What's Going On, Gaye used the musical canvas to dive deep into matters of the bedroom. Romance, carnal desire and the intersections between the two were explored in sessions split between Motown's Detroit studio - including contributions and their newly constructed

In Memoriam: Robbie Robertson (1943-2023)

August 10, 2023 By Joe Marchese 8 Comments

Robbie Robertson Testimony

Storyteller, songwriter, guitarist, musicologist, singer: throughout a career spanning the 1950s through the present day, Jaime Royal "Robbie" Robertson wore many hats.  The Toronto-born musician joined his first band in 1956 and attracted the attention of Ronnie "The Hawk" Hawkins in 1959.  Hawkins liked what he heard, and recorded two of the teenaged Robertson's songs in 1959.  Before long, he was playing in Hawkins' band alongside fellow Canadians Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson,

The Lost World LLL

The last few weekends have seen moviegoers pouring back into theaters thanks to the head-to-head blockbusters Barbie and Oppenheimer. Their dual openings made for one of the highest-grossing non-holiday weekends ever, and the talents of Greta Gerwig (co-writer/director of the zingy comedy based on the popular doll) and Christopher Nolan (writer/director of the epic biopic about the man who spearheaded America's creation of the atomic bomb) have already netted a cumulative $1 billion at the box

I'm Yours: Jason Mraz Revisits 'We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.' for New Deluxe Reissue

August 9, 2023 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Mraz WSWDWST Deluxe

Jason Mraz's debut album Waiting for My Rocket to Come (2002), released amid a new wave of witty but sensitive acoustic rockers, became a major hit thanks to the irresistible single "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)." But the lead single to follow-up Mr. A-Z (2005), the self-effacing "Wordplay," pretty accurately predicted a sophomore slump. How would he bounce back? The answer, it turns out, was right in front of him. How that turnaround played out is the subject of a new deluxe reissue coming

Right Now: Van Halen's Second Phase Gets Remastered for New Box Set

Van Halen Collection II

Van Halen fans were on pins and needles in the spring of 1986, when the California rockers replaced iconoclastic vocalist David Lee Roth with former Montrose frontman/rhythm guitarist Sammy Hagar. This unexpected partnership will be examined in full on a box set offering the first ever remastered editions of the group's Hagar-led albums on vinyl and CD - plus some bonus material, to boot. The Collection II, released October 6, is a sequel to Warner/Rhino's 2015 box containing new remasters of
