New Album Releases, 1-9-2007: Mos Def's Contractual Obligation and vintage live Johnny Cash
Not much in the way of actual good new music here in the dead of winter. There's Mos Def's True Magic, which from even the packaging screams "contractual obligation." Also, there's a soundtrack for the new Hillary Swank Freedom Writers, including music by Cypress Hill, Naughty By Nature, and of course 2Pac.
Maybe slightly more musical at least, John Waite Downtown - Journey of a Heart features new arrangements of his old material, including a duet of his main hit "Missing You" with Alison Krauss. There are also some twofer re-issues of vintage Four Seasons albums.
The nearest thing though to something that would be really good is the belated CD release of a 1987 Austin City Limits concert by Johnny Cash,Live from Austin, TX. I'd be particularly interested in hearing his performance of John Prine's "Sam Stone." For about the same price as the CD though, you could score the DVD - which has been out for a year.
