New Album Releases, Week of 4-25-2006
Pete Seeger was famously an old Stalinist, so it's fitting that this Bruce Springsteen tribute album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions [DualDisc] comes chained down to some repressive DRM crap worthy of the regime they celebrate. It appears the CD will not play in most computers at all, much less let you rip mp3s for your Ipod. In the name of The People's Revolutionary Council, I'd recommend that rather than pay money for this and then not get to use it- good comrades should reach across the Limewire and liberate a copy of this in the name of the proletariat.
Meanwhile, if you were wanting music rather than corporate political rants, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris have just released an apparently long gestating album All the Road Running. This would be the top likely item this week to take a flyer on. Do these two broody personalities compliment each other? Enquiring minds want to know.
The world has been waiting four anxious years for a new Goo Goo Dolls album. Thank G-d the long drought is over.
New compilation album of note: Reintarnation is the first ever compilation of kd lang. Looks pretty sharp, and geared to her "country" records. This would be a nice simple likely Mother's Day gift for cool moms.
PSST! Heads up- a new Paul Simon album Surprise comes out in two weeks, on May 9. Amazon is taking orders now.
