Eagles To the Limit

Last fall, Eagles embarked on their Long Goodbye tour.  While dates are currently expected to stretch into 2025 - hence the "long" part of the title - the band stated that "everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle."  The tour currently has gigs lined up through June in North America and Europe, including stops in Chicago, Toronto, and Manchester.  Each show has amounted to a greatest-hits retrospective, and so it's no surprise that a companion audio release will

Amy Grant Heart in Motion

In March 1991, Amy Grant released her ninth studio album, Heart in Motion.  By that time, Grant was already a well-established superstar in the realm of CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) who had made significant inroads in mainstream pop.  1985's Unguarded - her first album to be distributed by A&M Records to secular retailers - yielded a top 30 Pop hit with "Find a Way."  The very next year, she found herself atop the Hot 100 with the Peter Cetera duet "The Next Time I Fall."  Heart in

marvin gaye ballads

Having recently introduced some EMI-controlled artists to the ICON roster, Universal now incorporates some of those artists (and some of their most treasured R&B and country acts) into a new budget-oriented series, Ballads. And while none of the artists covered here really, truly need more compilations on the market - and, one can assume, the assembly of these is as low-impact as the ICON series - there's actually some promise to be had here. The overall selection of artists isn't terrible,
