Steve Hackett, the lead guitarist of Genesis between 1970 and 1977, has recently revisited his 1994 solo album Blues with a Feeling for an expanded reissue on Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint.

Hackett's first solo album, Voyage of the Acolyte, arrived in 1975 while he was

Review: Gerry Beckley, "Carousel"
Gerry Beckley celebrated his 64th birthday earlier this week, on Monday, September 12. We're marking the occasion with a look at his new studio album! One hardly expects the first verse of the first song on a new album from America's resident romantic troubadour, Gerry Beckley, to include the lines "Everything's turned to shit/No matter how I look at it/And I am running out of time..." But while Beckley is happily defying convention on "Tokyo" - the taut, rocking opening cut of his new album

Don't Walk On By: Legacy To Release Single-Disc Roy Orbison Career Retrospective
This last April marks what would have been Roy Orbison's 80th birthday had he not sadly died in 1988 at the age of 52. As one of the pioneers of rock 'n' roll, there have been numerous compilations and reissues devoted to Orbison's career. Just this last year, Universal released a 13-CD box set chronicling his tenure at MGM Records. But, despite all of the collections over the years, there hasn't been one that rounded up selections from most stages of his career from his time at Sun Records
Sound and Vision: "Lazarus" Cast Recording Premieres David Bowie's Final Recordings

WIN! WIN! WIN! Ready To Take A Chance: Varese Reissues Charles Fox Soundtrack, Solo LP

The themes to The Love Boat, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Love American Style, The Bugaloos, Angie, Wonder Woman, and more.

Beatles, Live at the Hollywood Bowl (Apple/Capitol/UMe) CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada Vinyl: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada Since the advent of the compact disc era, The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl has been the forgotten stepchild of the Fab Four's legendary catalogue.

SoulMusic Records Round-Up: Label Reissues Isaac Hayes, Curtis Hairston, Mass Production
A quartet of recent releases from SoulMusic Records in association with Cherry Red turn the spotlight onto overlooked classics of 1980s R&B. Isaac Hayes' Love Attack (1988) put the hot buttered soul man squarely into Big '80s territory with thumping drum machines and gleaming synthesizers. It was the Stax legend's second album for Columbia Records and built on the sound of his label debut U-Turn on which he'd played almost every instrument on the record. For Love Attack, he was joined
Remember Love: Yoko Ono's Catalogue to Be Reissued
Since shortly before The Second Disc began in 2010, we've seen a swath of major reissues, overhauls and catalog deliveries of the works of both The Beatles, together and separately, too. This fall, it's time to take a look at the catalogue of one of The Beatles' most intriguing associates: Yoko Ono. John Lennon's second wife is not "the woman who broke up The Beatles," as has been famously charged. But John's devotion to her as expressed in much of his solo music, as well as her own
Rock My Soul: Cherry Red, Grapefruit Collect Early British Hard Rock On "I'm a Freak, Baby"
What do Deep Purple, The Move, Hawkwind, Fleetwood Mac and The Yardbirds all have in common? Though each of those five bands carved out distinct musical identities, all incorporated elements of psychedelia in their early hard-rock explorations. A new 3-CD box set from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint offers an in-depth chronicle of the music that planted the seeds of progressive rock and metal. I'm a Freak, Baby is, as per its subtitle, A Journey Through the British Heavy Psych and Hard Rock
Oh Yeah! "Ferris Bueller" Soundtrack Coming from La-La Land Records
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you might miss something...like La-La Land Records' newest soundtrack title, the first-ever release of a soundtrack from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. An all-time classic since it was first released in 1986, John Hughes' seminal comedy (which he wrote in under a week and also directed) tells the story of the titular teen slacker (Matthew Broderick), who takes a day off from school and recruits his neurotic best friend

The sophomore album by the band, Stand Up was the first to feature music written completely by Ian Anderson (with the exception of
Review: Judy Henske and Jerry Yester, "Farewell Aldebaran"
Hello, Aldebaran...or more accurately, welcome back! Farewell Aldebaran first arrived in 1969 on Frank Zappa's Straight Records label from the duo of Judy Henske and Jerry Yester. Henske was the onetime "Queen of the Beatniks" whose distinctive, bluesy and big voice earned her legions of fans on the folk circuit. In 1963, Henske married Jerry Yester, a member of The Modern Folk Quartet and veteran of The New Christy Minstrels. When the MFQ broke up, Yester busied himself as a producer,
Warm Ride: HNE Collects Graham Bonnet's Pre-Rainbow Albums Including Lost LP
Cherry Red's Hear No Evil Recordings imprint has returned to the catalogue of Graham Bonnet with a pair of recent releases. Before stepping into the role vacated by Ronnie James Dio in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, the big-voiced Bonnet had cut a number of records in a pop/R&B, rather than a hard rock, vein. HNE has reissued and expanded the vocalist's never-before-released 1974 DJM album Back Row in the Stalls on one CD, as well as Graham Bonnet (1977) and No Bad Habits (1978) on a

Steppin' Out: Intervention Records Reissues Two From Joe Jackson
Look Sharp! Joe Jackson certainly did as nattily attired on his debut release of that name. Joined by Graham Maby on bass, Gary Sanford on guitar and Dave Houghton on drums, pianist-singer Jackson delivered a record for the ages. Both Look Sharp! and Night and Day, Jackson's fifth album for A&M Records, have recently been reissued as deluxe audiophile vinyl editions by the team at Intervention Records.

Faith was hugely in demand at Columbia Records, arranging and conducting for a large
Ramseur Reissues Josh White's Elektra Classic "Josh At Midnight" On Vinyl
Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman once said of Josh White, "Josh was his own man in a time before it became fashionable." Indeed, White (1914-1969) had a remarkable career. He recorded blues, gospel and folk on so-called "race records" in the 1920s and 1930s before moving on to headline at New York's Café Society, and appearing on radio, in motion pictures and in four Broadway productions. He played stages around the world, singing before royalty. Yet the career of the pioneering
A Taste of Honey: 25 Herb Alpert Albums Come to CD on September 9
Herb Alpert is about to release his latest studio album, Human Nature, on September 30, and it looks to be an exciting set even by the high standards of the eternally youthful trumpeter. His fourth album in three years, Human Nature features five original songs plus reworkings of Steve Porcaro and John Bettis' "Human Nature" (the 1983 Michael Jackson hit), Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Alfie" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," and a world premiere composition from Bacharach and Elvis Costello,
