Claude Fontaine: La Mer (Innovative Leisure) - review

Fleetwood Mac: Mirage Tour '82 (Warner/Rhino) - review

You might not remember Speedball Baby. But bassist Ali Smith’s memoir is engaging in a way that few typical rock and roll stories are.

Yes: Yale Bowl ’71 (Rhino/Atlantic)

Pete Jolly: Seasons (Future Days Recordings) - review

Dave’s Picks Volume 49 highlights an era of the Grateful Dead that most may not think of as prime Dead; however, the performances herein stand with the band’s best.

Your Absence is Darkness expounds on themes of life, death, love, loneliness, mistakes, and the search for meaning, those of which great novels are made. It will be one of the best books you read this year.

This half-speed mastered reissue is the best way to revisit this Who classic.

By Grateful Dead’s 1977 album, Terrapin Station, the band was losing steam, but the album has enough redeeming qualities to prevent its relegation to the bargain bin and ultimately justify this spectacular sounding remastered vinyl reissue.

Alkaline Trio’s 10th album stays true to its roots while demonstrating a subtle growth to keep things interesting.
