11/15/2019 releases of note

Right now, this looks to be the last busy release day of this year and I am considering, due to the high amount of songs I've heard about from Spotify, making today's releases the last I'm going to consider for my Favorites of 2019.  The main reason is the list is over 160 songs already and there's only one album post this day likely to make an impact, The Who's album on 12/6.  Anyway, here are the releases tonight.

Foreigner-Double Vision; Then and Now: A live album featuring both Lou Gramm and Kelly Hansen on vocals for the classic rock band.  They've already released great renditions of "Hot Blooded" and "I Want To Know What Love Is," and the album also promises classics like "Double Vision" and "Juke Box Hero."  I am seriously looking forward to this one.

Celine Dion-Courage: The powerhouse Canadian singer is back and releasing a Brand New album.  I've been a minor fan of her work since she was on the Touched By An Angel Soundtrack and it's great to hear her again.

Frozen II Soundtrack-The soundtrack to the movie to be widely released next week, featuring Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and TWO songs for Jonathan Groff, including a continuation of "Reindeer(s) are Better Than People."  Looking forward to this and the movie itself, it looks like another good animated film from Disney.

Blackberry Smoke-Homecoming Live In Atlanta: A Southern Rock band from Georgia, Blackberry Smoke entered my radar by playing "Working For MCA" at a Lynyrd Skynyrd event in their hometown Fox Theater, where the most famous live Lynyrd Skynyrd album, "One More From The Road" was recorded in July 1976, primarily on July 8th.

Ronnie Wood-Mad Lad, A Live Tribute To Chuck Berry: Without Chuck Berry, there'd be no Rock and Roll.  Former Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood teams with his Blues Band to deliver classics like "Rock and Roll Music" and "Johnny B. Goode."  While this will be the second Chuck Berry tribute after one on 11/1, that was one of my more favorite covers albums and was fun to sing along to what I knew from it.  The only downside is there will be less tracks this time.
