Last week’s releases were all nice, Nancy Wilson delivering some smooth Classic Rock, Aly and AJ having some pleasant Pop/Alternative Rock and Bebe Rexha delivering some nice Pop songs. I honestly might pick up her album on CD when it releases in that format in a couple of months, we’ll see. I also found out yesterday that the reason for The Dead Daisies’ new single is because they replaced their drummer, Deen Castronovo, with Tommy Clufetos, formerly of Ozzy Osbourne’s solo career and the last two Black Sabbath tours. As such, I have seen him live twice, here’s a picture from the 2016 Black Sabbath show:
A heads-up, I won’t be posting next week, I’m going to take the week off from this, it’s sometimes a real drain on me. Also, I don’t think too many people know about the artists releasing next week. As for this week, we’ve got three albums lined up that I’m interested in.
Myles Kennedy-The Ides of March: Myles Kennedy is the Spokane-born lead singer of Alter Bridge and Slash’s solo projects. He has a great rock and roll voice and has written some real great songs with Slash. This is a solo album from him, which will detail his personal emotions on recent events, with one song already released as a single saying “Can’t We All Just Get Along?” In the chorus. This will also feature some Country feel in addition to the expected Hard Rock.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young-50th Anniversary Déjà vu Deluxe Edition: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are the famed three folk-singer quartet with Neil Young also joining in. This release features the songs “Almost Cut My Hair” and “Teach Your Children,” two of my favorites by the quartet, in the original release, with demos and alternate takes filling out the box set. The demo of “Our House” will feature Joni Mitchell alongside Graham Nash, Joni being a famed singer-songwriter who influenced everyone from Led Zeppelin to Idina Menzel to Brandi Carlile.
Steve Miller Band-Live! Breaking Ground August 3rd, 1977: The Steve Miller Band is an act I saw live back in 2014, with many great Classic Rock Songs like “Jet Airliner,” “Rock’n Me” and “Fly Like An Eagle.” Yes, Space Jam didn’t invent that song, and actually it’s a bit of a protest song, with lyrics saying “Feed the Babies/who have no food to eat/shoe the children/without shoes on their feet/House the people/living in the streets/oh, there’s a solution.” This concert would be back when he was probably promoting the “Fly Like An Eagle” album, and I look forward to how his performance back then compares to the one I saw.
