Sorry this one is relatively late, I had a tough time getting out of bed. Anyway, here are the releases I'm looking forward to the most this week on Spotify:
Jimmy Page, Jack Bruce, Ian Stewart-Tribute to Alexis Korner: I'll be honest, this may not be on Spotify, namely because I've not seen it available to be pre-ordered as MP3s. Still, this features the guitarist from Led Zeppelin, the bassist from Cream and the pianist from The Rolling Stones who jammed with Led Zeppelin on "Rock and Roll" and "Boogie for Stu," all paying tribute to an artist who helped influence the British Blues scene.
Quiet Riot-Hollywood Cowboys: In 2015, I got the chance to see this band. Since then, they've recorded a studio album and a live album with the same lineup, except a different lead singer. This is the second studio album from this lineup, featuring longtime members Chuck Wright and Frankie Banali, and relatively recent guitarist Alexi Grossi.
Pat Travers-Live April 30th, 1981, Pittsburgh, PA: Pat Travers has become one of my more favorite blues rockers since having the Spotify app, playing both covers and originals in a fun, loud way. He's performed songs by Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd and has great guitar tone. I look forward to hearing more from him tonight.
John Fogerty-50 year Trip, Live At Red Rocks: The lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revival is still going, 50 years after Woodstock. "Fortunate Son" and "Centerfield" were already released as singes and sound good, and I look forward to revisiting others like "Born on the Bayou," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and "Suzie Q."
Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders-Get the Money: A band made by the drummer of the Foo Fighters. This album's singles show a great display of hard rock and amazon.com's description promises appearances from other Seattle-based musicians such as Dave Grohl, Duff McKagan and Nancy Wilson.
George Michael and Wham!-Last Christmas Soundtrack: A soundtrack for a movie featuring a musician I'm curious about. George Michael passed on in 2016, and I've only heard him sing "Somebody to Love" at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert and be responsible for a joke about androgyny in the second season of Full House. I'd like to hear more of his music, Tegan and Sara credited him as an inspiration, and here seems like a good chance.
