New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: John Anderson, Wild and Blue: Since releasing his self-titled debut album in 1980, John Anderson has earned five #1 hits on the Billboard Country Singles chart, but only in one instance did he released an album that featured two #1 hits, and—you guessed it—that album was Wild and Blue. The songs in question were the title track and “Swingin’,” with the latter track also providing Anderson with his only appearance to date on the Billboard Hot 100. (It hit #43.) In addition to the two chart-toppers, Anderson earned an additional major country hit from

Tuesday, October 20, 2015
It's happening. You probably first noticed it a week or so ago at the grocery store; most likely only half registering the Halloween themed Reeses peanut butter cups as you made your way towards the express aisle. Or perhaps you spotted an ad hoc pumpkin farm popping up as you drove home from work the other night. In any case, Halloween season is here. If not already, soon ever other commercial on your television will have some sort of Halloween theme. Your Facebook feed too. So let's embrace it. Oh, and by the way: Boo.

Now Available: Jack’s Mannequin, Everything in Transit: 10th Anniversary Edition (Article)
Friday, October 16, 2015
Sit down, kids, and let us tell you a tale of a gentleman named Jack and his mannequin… No, no, just kidding. This is actually a story about a band called Something Corporate…or to be more specific, it's a story about Something Corporate's singer, Andrew McMahon, who decided in 2004 that the fact that his band was going on a bit of a hiatus didn't mean that he had to do the same with his career. Instead, McMahon took the money in his savings account and recorded a solo album, releasing it under the moniker Jack's Mannequin. The sense of victory McMahon should've felt from wrapping up the album

Doing a 180: New Order (Article)
Tuesday, October 13, 2015
If you did a dance of joy last month when New Order released Music Complete, their first proper studio album in a decade, then you're most likely exactly the sort of person who'll be excited to learn that - not entirely coincidentally - we've just released 180-gram vinyl reissues on the three most recent albums in the band's catalog prior to their latest effort. Can't remember what those albums were? Well, that's understandable, given that it's been 10 years or more since any of them were originally released, so allow us to refresh your memory: Republic: If you aren't familiar with this album

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Sam Phillips' Sun Studio/Fifteen (Article)
Monday, October 12, 2015
Originally dubbed the Memphis Recording Service, Sam Phillips' Sun Studio in Memphis, TN is about as close to 'rock & roll mecca' as you're likely to find. Blues, gospel, soul, R&B, rockabilly and the nascent sound known as rock & roll all coalesced under this roof. Not to mention Phillips patent recording sound. Like all 'brand' labels, the Sun catalog has since undergone numerous, ad nausem, re-dressings and re-packagings over the years. Thankfully the contents are always stellar. This week's entry highlights twenty Sun tracks skating the label's venerable surface. Roots, indeed. ABOUT

New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Harry Chapin, The Elektra Collection (1971-1978): Harry Chapin didn't spend his entire career on Elektra Records, but the years during which he found his most significant commercial success were most definitely during the Elektra era, starting with his 1971 debut album, Head & Tales. This effort is, as you'd expect from its title, one of the eight albums contained within The Elektra Collection (1971-1978). The others, in case you don't know his catalog backwards and forwards - heck, you may not know anything at all beyond “Cat's in the Cradle” - are

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Jamaican Heavy (Article)
Monday, October 5, 2015
Legendary Jamaican music behemoth, Trojan Records, is synonymous with both the history and proliferation of island's Reggae, Rocksteady, Ska and Dancehall scenes. Over the past decade the label has released a vast amount of compilations, box sets, retrospectives and 'celebrity' guest-DJ curated compilations. Great for the faithful, redundant to the skeptic and formidable to the newbie. This week's playlist digs into the vaults.

New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: George Carlin, Playin' with Your Head: There's a vocal chapter of the George Carlin fan club that considers this album to be the last time Carlin delivered a set that wasn't heavily political, and there's some merit to that theory. That's not to dismiss anything that may have emerged afterwards, but when AllMusic wrote that this was a fine companion piece to Carlin's classic A Place forMy Stuff, they were not wrong: it's fantastically funny from start to finish. George Carlin, What Am I Doing in New Jersey?: “I really haven't seen this many people in
