Happy Anniversary: Dokken, Back for the Attack (Article)
Friday, November 27, 2015
28 years ago today, Dokken - who, for the record, are still rockin' - released an album which would go on to become the highest-charting full-length effort of their entire career. After releasing three albums, each of which had charted higher than the one before it, Don Dokken (lead singer), George Lynch (guitarist), Jeff Pilson (bassist), and Mick Brown (drummer) were sitting somewhere hard rock and a hair-metal place: their 1985 album, Under Lock and Key, showed about as many sides of the band as could realistically be expected without taking things into 2-LP territory, but it also put them

New This Week: Supergrass (Article)
Wednesday, November 25, 2015
Earlier this year, we reissued Supergrass's debut album, I Should Coco, on 180-gram vinyl, referring to it as “an exuberant pop album” and giddily describing it as “one of the true gems of the Britpop era.” We stand by both of those descriptions, as most anyone would if they've heard songs like “Alright,” “Lenny,” “Mansize Rooster,” and “Caught by the Fuzz,” which is why we're so excited to announce that we are celebrating the occasion of the album's 20th anniversary by expanding I Should Coco into a three-disc set. First up, unsurprisingly, is Disc 1, which features a newly remastered version

Rhino Factoids: John Lydon on Judge Judy (Article)
Tuesday, November 24, 2015
There are plenty of things that would probably qualify as being more punk rock than appearing on a syndicated court show, but there was still something kind of cool when - 18 years ago today - John Lydon found himself fighting a claim of lost wages and civil battery filed against him by drummer Robert Williams on Judge Judy. Judge Judith Sheindlin had only been on the air for about a year when Lydon appeared on her show, and while it might not have been a real sweeps-week spectacular to have the former frontman of the Sex Pistols in her courtroom, it certainly brought a slightly unique

Doing a 180: Sisters of Mercy, The Floodland Era Collection (Article)
Tuesday, November 24, 2015
Spinal Tap might've been the band that popularized the phrase “none more black,” but Sisters of Mercy have made a career out of it: they are amongst the gothiest of all the goth bands, and they've delivered some truly bleak material that has nonetheless managed to fill more than a few dance floors over the years. If you're a DJ who appreciates spinning dark tracks or perhaps just a fan of the band who favors vinyl, then you'll be excited about the 180-gram pressing of The Floodland Era Collection, a four-piece set that includes the Floodland album along with its three singles: “This Corrison”

Digital Roundup (Article)
Monday, November 23, 2015
The Beckies, The Beckies: It must be said that it's a real shame that this album couldn't have been added to our digital catalog several months ago, as Michael Brown, the man behind The Beckies, died on March 19, 2015. It would've been wonderful if we could've interviewed him about this underrated power pop classic, which has been held up by those who know their hooks and harmonies as one of the best of its kind…not that Brown didn't already have a well-established history for composing catchy tracks, having already been part of The Left Banke and Stories. If you're a fan of artists like the

Now Available: Tracy Chapman, Greatest Hits (Article)
Monday, November 23, 2015
> With the caveat that it's never really all that shocking when an artist that's achieved even so much as a modicum of success is given the best-of treatment, it's actually rather remarkable that Tracy Chapman released her self-titled debut album in 1988, has put out an additional seven studio albums since then, and yet has never before been the subject of a greatest-hits collection in the US…until now. Now in stores, Tracy Chapman's Greatest Hits features 18 tracks selected by Chapman herself, including her two top-10 hits, “Fast Car” and “Give Me One Reason,” her additional Billboard Hot 100

Now Available: Carly Simon, Songs from the Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection (Article)
Friday, November 20, 2015
When a musician releases a memoir, they generally find themselves in the public eye when the time comes to promote it, so it makes sense that they'd take advantage of their increased profile by releasing some new music at the same time. As it happens, that's exactly what Carly Simon is doing: when her autobiography, Songs from the Trees, hits bookstores, so will a new 31-track compilation entitled Songs from the Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection. It's to be expected that the book will prove interesting even to Simon fans who haven't really followed her career beyond whichever of her singles

Gig Of The Week: Michelle Branch @ The Vanderbilt, New York USA, 2001 (Article)
Friday, November 20, 2015
Michelle was just starting out in 2001 - she was signed to Maverick Records in August of that year where she released her first full album THE SPIRIT ROOM. Before that though, she played at The Vanderbilt in New York to a select few, and here is her short (but sweet) setlist.

Rhino Factoids: The J. Geils Band Blow Out Some Faces in Detroit (Article)
Thursday, November 19, 2015
40 years ago today, The J. Geils Band performed the second of the two shows that would soon become immortalized on their second live album, 1976's Blow Your Face Out. There's often a price to be paid for being one of the best damned bar bands in the world, and it's that it can be frustratingly difficult to capture your live sound in a studio environment. Such was often the case with The J. Geils Band, who earned their first gold record with - you guessed it - a live album: 1972's *Live* Full House, which proved to be their highest-charting album up to that point, hitting #54 when its

Led Zeppelin's Mothership Lands on 180-Gram Vinyl (Article)
Thursday, November 19, 2015
It's been a good year or two to be a Led Zeppelin fan, as those of you who've been picking up our deluxe editions of their back catalog are already well aware, but this year's not quite over yet, and we've still got one last little surprise for you: the band's latest greatest-hits compilation is getting the 180-gram vinyl reissue treatment just in time for the holidays. Mothership first made landfall in November 2007, its arrival coinciding with the band's entire catalog finally turning up on iTunes and other digital-music storefronts, but it's continued to be a strong seller because it's
