New Album Releases, Week of 6-6-2006
We got some pretty good action going in new releases this week. The big Kahuna of the menu is the Allen Toussaint/Elvis Costello River in Reverse. Elvis and the Katrina survivor wrote five new songs, to go with Elvis singing Toussaint classics as the author plays piano on it all.
Cheap Trick has a new album for the hometown, Rockford. I"ve found it too painful to sit all the way through recent Cheap Trick albums, but this one is getting exceptionally good marks. Tom Johnson, for one, will tell you that this is their best album in 20 years.
Ice Cube has a new joint as well, Laugh Now, Cry Later. Given the Boston controversy around the specific phrase, I'm curious what Brother Cube might have to say about "Stop Snitchin'."
In the archive material, there's a particularly choice jazz label retrospective, starring their first signing in 1961, John Coltrane in The House That Trane Built: Story of Impulse Records.
