Last week was pretty uneventful, I had a bad cold or possibly a 48-hour flu I needed to recover my mental and physical strength from. I did hear a lot of the singles I hadn't heard last week, plus a new live version of Demi Lovato's "Anyone" taken from the Grammys. Now, here's what's coming out later today/tomorrow depending on what time zone you're in.
Cream-Goodbye Tour; Live 1968: A collection of four shows by the Power Trio, one in Oakland, one in Los Angeles, one in San Diego and one in the Royal Albert Hall. Each features their hits "White Room," "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Crossroads." I was going to see a Cream tribute on Sunday that would've featured the entire "Disraeli Gears" album, featuring Ginger Baker's son and Eric Clapton's nephew, but I was too sick to go.
Mandy Moore-Silver Landings: Mandy Moore is a pop star best known to the people around me as the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's Tangled and Ralph Breaks The Internet. As such, she is the second Disney Princess voice to perform a concert at Seattle's Paramount Theatre, the first being Idina Menzel, Elsa's VA. I thought about going to the show, but couldn't afford it, but the singles have been great and it helped me find some of the songs from Tangled on Spotify.
Blue Oyster Cult-Agents of Fortune; 40th Anniversary-Live 2016: Blue Oyster Cult already released a more standard live album in January featuring tracks across their discography, but this release is a track-by-track live performance of the album their hit "Don't Fear The Reaper" was on. As such, there are some lesser-known tracks getting the spotlight here, including some I've not heard before. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a live version of "Godzilla" as a bonus track/encore on this release.
Allen/Olzon-Worlds Apart: A metal album with both a man and a woman vocalist, this is their first album together and it sounds like a great metal experience. There's some great harmonies, great singing and amazing guitar work.
King Crimson-Cat Food; 50th Anniversary Edition: A four-track EP from the prog-rock band responsible for Greg Lake and the song "21st Century Schizoid Man," this features a track, a live version of that track, a remix of the aforementioned track and the original single's B-side. Hopefully, it will live up to some of their other releases, "21st Century" was covered by both Gov't Mule and Ozzy Osbourne and King Crimson themselves covered David Bowie's "Heroes" in tribute, all of which are great recordings.
