Music Reviews: Velvet Underground Tribute & Soundtrack Albums, plus Johnny Cash
New projects celebrate the work of one of the most innovative and influential bands in the history of rock.
Music Reviews: Rolling Stones’ ‘Tattoo You’ (Super Deluxe Ed.), plus Elvis Costello’s ‘Spanish Model’ and New Holiday Music
The Rolling Stones’ ‘Tattoo You,’ now available in a greatly expanded deluxe edition, could have easily ended up as a mess. Instead, it’s often regarded as the group’s last great album.
Music Reviews: David Crosby, plus Steve Goodman, People Years, John DeNicola, and a Landslide Records Anthology
An expanded reissue offers a second chance to appreciate David Crosby’s critically derided 1971 solo debut, which was also the last album he issued under his own name for 18 years.
Music Reviews: Lindsey Buckingham, plus Bruce T. Carroll, Sarah McQuaid, Sue Foley, and Hank Erwin
On his first solo album in about a decade, the Fleetwood Mac alumnus delivers performances that sound redolent of his work with his old group.
Music Reviews: ‘Next Stop Is Vietnam,’ plus Kinky Friedman and Billy Joe Shaver
One of the most comprehensive and imaginatively assembled box sets ever released on any subject. Also, Friedman and Shaver in concert in 2002.
