Wicked Good: Wilson Pickett's "Complete RCA" Arrives TOMORROW From Second Disc Records!
This Friday, Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music continue the story of one of soul music's leading lights. The late Wilson Pickett (1941-2006) lived life - and made music - on strictly his own terms. Everybody knows the story of The Wicked Pickett's groundbreaking tenure at Atlantic Records during which time he largely defined the sound of sixties soul. Hits such as "In the Midnight Hour," "Land of 1,000 Dances," "Mustang Sally" and "Funky Broadway" all still cornerstones of any classic
Greasepaint Smile
Numero Group excavates a never-before-released 1969 album from singer-songwriter Elyse Weinberg. The label describes the album's sound: "Weinberg's finger-picked acoustic is layered over distant drumming, while her gravel-pit voice evokes life, love, and mortality." Neil Young, J.D. Souther, Nils Lofgren and Kenny Edwards all guest on this lost California-rock gem produced by Young's longtime associate David Briggs.

Genesis' Tony Banks Goes "A Chord Too Far" On Career-Spanning Box Set
It's been a pretty great year for fans of Genesis. This morning, the news broke of upcoming reissues from Phil Collins. Earlier this year, reissues arrived from Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, and Steve Hackett released his latest solo album. (A reissue of the 1986 album by Hackett's band GTR is on the way, and a box set of Hackett's Charisma recordings is due later this year, too.) All has been fairly quiet on the Peter Gabriel front, but even Gabriel has some vinyl remasters on the
Sweet Touch of Love: Raven Collects Three Albums From Allen Toussaint
Of all the great names in the annals of R&B history, there is only one Allen Toussaint. A pianist, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger, and all-around renaissance man, the Louisiana native is responsible - in one capacity or another - for some of the most memorable songs and recordings in the modern pop and soul canon: "Working in the Coal Mine," "Southern Nights," "Mother-in-Law," "Lady Marmalade" and "Yes We Can Can" among them. Though those hits for Lee Dorsey, Glen Campbell, Ernie
