Review: Little Richard, "Directly From My Heart"
The annals of rock have been filled with colorful characters, but few can compare to Richard Penniman, a.k.a. Little Richard. Over the course of just eighteen months beginning in 1955, the man who has called himself The King and Queen of Rock and Roll recorded the songs that laid the foundation of the genre, notching seventeen R&B Top 10s - four of which also made the Pop Top 10. After that initial burst of fame, however, Richard retreated from the spotlight. The new box set Directly from

Love Is The Answer: Edsel Collects Complete Big Tree Albums of England Dan and John Ford Coley
Here's one from the "Just in Case You Missed It" Department...

The Bad Seeds: "Nick Cave Heard Them Here First" Features Dylan, Cash, Pitney, More
Ace Records has an unusual name on its roster: that of Australian musical iconoclast Nick Cave. An artist who's lived up to his description as rock's "Prince of Darkness," Cave has nonetheless drawn on a wide array of influences in crafting his own intense, personal and powerful songbook. Ace has rounded up the original versions of 25 songs recorded over the years by the artist on the collection entitled Nick Cave Heard Them Here First. This anthology follows the label's similar sets for The
Review: Nils Lofgren, "Nils Lofgren"
Nils Lofgren was only in his teenage years when Neil Young called upon him to add piano and guitar to his now-classic 1970 album After the Gold Rush. The Chicago-born musician's association with Young announced him in a big way, launching a career that flourishes to this very day. Lofgren served a brief stint in Crazy Horse, playing on that band's 1971 album, and with his own band Grin recorded four well-received albums between 1971 and 1973 on the Epic and A&M labels. It was in 1975 for

As with the previous deluxe editions, Presence, In Through The Out Door, and Coda have been newly remastered by
Not Fade Away: Rhino Celebrates Live Grateful Dead With 4-CD and 80-CD Box Sets
With the ongoing celebration of the band's 50th anniversary and the upcoming reunion shows at Chicago's Soldier Field, the Grateful Dead have arguably been more visible in 2015 than in any point since the passing of Jerry Garcia in 1995.

River Deep Mountain High: Ace Returns to the Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich Songbook
With Sweet Things, Ace Records has picked a most apt title for its third volume of music from the Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry songbook (Ace CDCHD 1434). Though Greenwich and Barry were united as husband and wife for just the short period of 1962-1965, and only worked together for a short time after that, a year hasn't gone by since when their enduring songs haven't been recorded and re-recorded. The collection's 24 titles span 1963-1978 and blend hits and rarities from the duo with tracks
