I have just added 12 new tracks into high rotation in the playlist. Eleven of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:
Bruce Hornsby – Absolute Zero … This new album takes a sharp right turn from his previous piano-less album, to a place that finds him pushing the more technical and conceptual side of his piano artistry. The album has strong jazz overtones but amazing song-writing and musicianship. Listen for the track Voyager One and Take You There (Misty). Read the review here.
Don Felder – American Rock ‘n’ Roll … This is an amazing album from the former Eagle – you can tell by the guests lending a hand: Sammy Hagar, Slash, Richie Sambora, Orianthi, Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani, Mick Fleetwood, and more. Two early released singles from the album are already in rotation in the playlist. Joining them are the songs Hearts On Fire, She Doesn’t Get It and a beautiful ballad The Way Things Have To Be. Read the review here.
Mike + The Mechanics – Out Of The Blue … The former Genesis member returns with his band and a new album, which features 3 new songs, along with re-workings of some of the band’s best known songs. Listen for the new tracks Out Of The Blue and What Would You Do. Read the review here.
Melissa Etheridge – The Medicine Show … The high-profile, outspoken and fearless performer’s 15th studio album features some great songs, sung with her usual passion. Listen for the songs Faded By Design and Wild And Lonely. Read the review here.
Gino Vannelli – Wilderness Road … The 20th album from the Canadian singer-songwriter hearkens back to his earlier days – but is meticulously produced, written, played and sung. Listen for the song Ghost Train. Read the review here.
Jon Anderson – 1000 Hands … The Yes vocalist’s new album features a huge numbers of guest musicians – such as Steve Howe, Rick Derringer, Pat Travers, Rick Wakeman, Edgar Winter, Ian Anderson and more. Listen for the song Ramalama.
