My colleagues in Readers' Services publish a monthly blog post of "Coming Attractions," and I thought that might be a good idea for music as well. So here are a few CDs new on our shelves or soon to arrive. Place a hold with your library card if you see something interesting!
Scream - Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy's back and the reviews are surprisingly, overwhelmingly positive! (Unlike the subject matter of most of the songs)
Live From Orensanz - Taking Back Sunday
Live, acoustic shows recorded at the Angel Orensanz Synagogue on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Coming soon.
Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: The Songs of John Prine - various artists
Hear the great American songwriting of Maywood, IL native John Prine reinterpreted by a crowd of today's hipster alternative types (Bon Iver, My Morning Jacket, and Drive-By Truckers, to name a few). Coming soon.
The Trouble With Angels - Filter
Mixed reviews thus far for the latest from Richard Patrick's heavy industrial outfit. Check it out for yourself when it arrives on our shelves.
Iconos - Marc Anthony
A few months old, this Spanish language release finds covering eight of his all-time favorite balladeers with two original tracks along for the ride. Say what you will: the guy can sing.
Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook - Bettye LaVette
Here's an odder choice of covers, as R & B queen LaVette wraps her pipes around Elton John, The Who, The Beatles, and yes, Pink Floyd. Coming soon and I'm curious!
Recovery - Eminem
Does he still have what it takes? Eminem mixes it up with guest stars Rihanna, P!nk, Lil Wayne and Kobe. We own three copies but they are constantly checked out, so place a hold for this one.
While I was writing this post, a brand new CD suddenly appeared in our catalog, so I will end with this one:
The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night - The Besnard Lakes
Third release from the Canadian indie band with the funny album titles (funny to me, at least). Released in March, 2010, and already shortlisted for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.
What are you listening to that is new?
