BEASTIE BOYS- HELLO NASTY (DELUXE)

The Beasties' reissue campaign continues with an expanded, 2 CD version of their 1998 hit "Hello Nasty," now featuring an additional disc with 21 remixes and b-sides, including 7 unreleased songs.







HARRY CONNICK JR.- YOUR SONGS

So much more than just a romantic crooner and actor, Connick's New Orleans' roots and James Booker tutelage makes him one of America's finest piano players. Unfortunately, this record is a collection of fan favorites and oft-requested concert tunes and shows little of Connick's impressive ivory-tickling. Connick is great at this, if you like this sort of stuff.

Track List:
1. “All the Way (featuring Branford Marsalis)”…(James Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn )
2. “Just the Way You Are”….(Billy Joel)
3. “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You (feat. Wynton Marsalis)”….(George David Weiss, Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore)
4. “And I Love Her”….(Paul McCartney, John Lennon)
5. “(They Long to Be) Close to You (feat. Leroy Jones)”….(Burt Bacharach, Hal David)
6. “Bésame Mucho….(Consuelo Velázquez )
7. “The Way You Look Tonight”….(Jerome Kern, Dorothy Fields)
8. “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”….(Ewan MacColl)
9. “Your Song”….(Elton John, Bernie Taupin)
10. “Some Enchanted Evening”….(Oscar Hammerstein, Richard Rodgers)
11. “And I Love You So”….(Don McLean)
12. “Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)”….Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley)
13. “Smile”….(Charlie Chaplin, John Turner, Geoffrey Parsons)
14. “Mona Lisa”….(Jay Livingston, Ray Evans)







EDDIE & THE HOT RODS- SINGLES COLLECTION


First ever collection from the almost legendary pub-rockers, covering all the key tracks from both their Island & EMI output. A bit short, but solid. Here's the lot:

1. Writing On The Wall
2. Wooly Bully
3. Get Out Of Denver
4. Teenage Depression
5. I Might Be Lying
6. Hard Drivin Man
7. Do Anything You Wanna Do

DAVID GRAY- DRAW THE LINE


First studio release in 5 years from the British singer-songwriter, "Draw The Line," features duets with Annie Lennox and Jolie Holland. I also never realized just how much Gray sounds like Loudon Wainwright III. Good stuff. I like Loudon better.







MANASSAS- PIECES

"Pieces" combines leftover tracks from both Manassas' self-titled release and "Down The Road." Amazing unreleased material featuring early versions of Stills' classics like ''Sugar Babe,'' ''Word Game'' and ''Do You Remember The Americans''








MONSTERS OF FOLK- MONSTERS OF FOLK


"Monsters of Folk" is the collaboration of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), M. Ward (Him)- three of this generations most critically acclaimed voices." Really? I've always thought these "Monsters" were three somewhat talented, but insanely over-hyped singer-songwriters. Yet together, the M.O.F. create a unique and quite pleasurable listening experience that seems to include the most accessible tunes this trio has ever offered.







PEARL JAM- BACKSPACER

Eddie Vedder and the boys are back with a vengeance. "BACKSPACER" is one kick-ass ride from the word GO! Could be the best record since their seminal debut, "Ten." Clocking in at under 40 minutes, Pearl Jam not only gets old school with the three-minute rocker, but offers some of the most tuneful songs of their career. (Shows ya what hanging around Neil Finn wll do for you.)

Sal,

Any intel on the Finn/7 worlds collide project "The Sun Came Out"?

Sal Nunziato said...

Only got through Disc One and it's fantastic. It's a true collaboration, with everyone's influence heard throughout. Great and different version of "You Never Know," from the new Wilco album, is just one of many highlights.

Not sure why I missed that on my new releases.

Dave said...

I think you missed it because it isn't due out until next Tuesday. ;-)

Sal Nunziato said...

Well, the UK has been out for 2 weeks. I could have at least mentioned THAT.
