9/27/2019 Releases of Personal Note

Well, it's that time of the week again, time to look ahead at the upcoming releases I'm looking forward to at 9:00 pm PDT/Tomorrow EDT.

Tegan and Sara-Hey I'm Just Like You: Canada's favorite twin lesbian sisters are back with their first album since Love You To Death, one of my all-time favorites.  There's more of an alternative rock edge this time around from the singles, which makes sense because that's where they started and this album is apparently fleshing out their first demos.

David Hasselhoff-Open Your Eyes: This isn't a joke, I've had a casual interest in David Hasselhoff since watching Internet Comedienne Allison Pregler's show Baywatching and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.  This also features a cover of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" with Tracii Guns of L.A. Guns on Guitar.

The Beatles-Deluxe Abbey Road: The landmark swan song turns 50, so they're releasing a pair of deluxe anniversary editions with outtakes of each song.  The outtakes released thus far for "Oh!  Darling" and "Come Together" are worth a listen, and I'm hoping the "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" session is the popular bootleg recording where Paul McCartney sings lead.  Also, according to Spotify, today is the 50th anniversary of the album's original release.  Based on my knowledge of Beatles trivia, that means tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman and Alan White performing in Toronto and Saturday is the 50th anniversary of that band with Ringo Starr replacing Alan White recording "Cold Turkey."  Unless I can buy the two-disc version myself, I would love it for Christmas.

Kristin Chenoweth-For The Girls: I didn't know about this singer until a few weeks ago when Spotify showed her singing a duet of "I Will Always Love You" with Dolly Parton.  I'm curious for more, especially since some of the tracks sound like they could be covers, too and there's a duet with Ariana Grande.

Humble Pie-Tourin': The Official Bootleg Box Set, Vol. 4; Humble Pie was an early 1970s British rock band famous for launching the career of Peter Frampton, either writing or popularizing the song "I Don't Need No Doctor," and writing the song "30 Days in the Hole."  They present an exuberant rock sound and sometimes play blues, and the track listing suggests this will be a fun listen.
