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

Stoney, a powerhouse blues singer who stopped the show nightly with her incendiary rendition of "Easy to Be Hard." Motown quickly saw the potential of this

Harmony Constant: 7a Records Reissues, Expands Michael Nesmith's "And The Hits Just Keep On Comin'" For Its 50th Anniversary
"I realized early on that Red was the magic carpet," the late Michael Nesmith observed to this author in 2020 of his longtime collaborator Orville "Red" Rhodes. "I began to realize this guy is on another level...He's playing music up at the highest jazz levels, but he's playing all by himself. I thought it was some of the most inspired and celestial pedal steel guitar music -which was like an impossibility, but it really was." Perhaps no release better epitomizes the intuitive, almost
