Now Available: Emmylou Harris, Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems (Article)
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
It’s only been a few short weeks since we introduced Emmylou Harris’s 70’s Studio Album Collection and 80’s Studio Album Collection to our digital catalog, but now it’s time to bring something from Ms. Harris’s catalog to CD…or, more specifically, to bring it back to CD. In 2007, we put out a pretty cool Emmylou Harris box set entitled Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems, one which featured 78 tracks, all hand-chosen by the singer-songwriter herself. At the time of its initial release, Emmylou said of its contents, "I've selected not greatest hits but personal favorites that – with a few

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Zeppelin (Article)
Monday, November 17, 2014
Two things that let me know that it is Fall: the smell of burning leaves and and the way early Led Zeppelin sounds. The first is obvious, though not something I happen upon much (ok, at all) here in Los Angeles. The second is a bit more intangible, but I've thought about it a lot over the years and I believe the genesis of this particular sense memory has to do with the 'bargain' bins of cassettes of the early 90s. For those of you who don't recall these, imagine great swaths of 6x6 bins stretching the length of record stores filled with all manner of 60s/70s rocknroll. You had your Dead, your

Rhino Factoids: Blur Causes a Bother at a Bookstore (Article)
Friday, November 14, 2014
19 years ago today, the boys from Blur inspired a minor mob outside a London bookstore when they turned up to sign copies of their new official photo anthology, Blurbook. (One can only imagine how many hours the band hemmed and hawed over possible titles before finally coming to an agreement on that one.) It’s a bit of a testament to just how huge Blur were at the time that a collection of photos of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree basically just being themselves was sufficiently exciting to the band’s fans that they queued up to buy it. Oh, all right, it probably had

Now Available: The Monkees, The Monkees: Super Deluxe Edition (Article)
Tuesday, November 11, 2014
Sometimes we write posts because we think you’ll enjoy reading them, other times we write posts simply because we think they’re important, but this is one which feels at least a little bit superfluous, if only because the people to whom this release would likely be the most important have probably already ordered it. Nonetheless, we have a duty to perform, and perform it we will, so here goes: Hey, hey, the Super Deluxe Edition of the Monkees’ self-titled debut album is finally here! See what we mean? We know that you diehard Monkees fans already knew this day was coming, so it seems unlikely

Now Available: Chris Bell, I Am the Cosmos (Article)
Monday, November 10, 2014
If you never travel far without a little Big Star, then not only do you likely already know who Chris Bell is, but you probably already own the lone solo album by the late Mr. Bell, who played guitar and sang on Big Star’s boldly-titled debut album, #1 Record, before departing the band’s ranks for a solo career which ended abruptly when, at the age of 27, he was killed in a car crash. It was a sad, sudden end for a songwriter who’d already begun to earn respect from his peers, and it seems all the more tragic in retrospect, given how many artists have found inspiration in I Am the Cosmos since

Digital Roundup: 11/05/14 (Article)
Wednesday, November 5, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Emmylou Harris, The ‘70s Studio Album Collection / The ‘80s Studio Album Collection: Technically speaking, we only have two releases being added to our digital catalog this week, but when you consider that one of those is a set that includes six albums and the other is a collection that includes eight albums…well, frankly, isn’t two releases enough? Emmylou Harris didn’t start her career on Reprise Records – which, sadly, is one of the reasons why her initial studio effort, 1969’s Gliding Bird, isn’t a part of The ‘70s Studio Album Collection (the

Rhino Historic Tours: Prince Kicks Off the Purple Rain Tour (Article)
Tuesday, November 4, 2014
30 years ago on the stage of the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan, Prince simultaneously started the tour to promote his latest album, Purple Rain, while also allowing that evening’s audience to witness the live debut of his latest backing band, The Revolution. Actually, The Revolution was really just Prince’s former backing band, but in addition to finally getting a name other than “Prince’s backing band,” there was one very key change in the lineup: guitarist Dez Dickerson, who’d been a stalwart since Prince had toured behind his self-titled second album, departed the ranks. Depressing

Happy Anniversary: David Bowie, The Man Who Sold the World (Article)
Tuesday, November 4, 2014
44 years ago today, the man occasionally identified as the Thin White Duke released the album which first took his music in the direction that made him a superstar and graced it with a title track so wonderful that a cover of the song became one of grunge’s greatest hits. It’s inarguable that David Bowie was already a success in the UK by the time he released The Man Who Sold the World in 1970, having left the ‘60s behind with a top-10 hit (“The Laughing Gnome”) and a bona fide chart-topper (“Space Oddity”) tucked snugly into his back pocket. The vaguely folky sounds of those songs, however
