Happy Birthday: Bonnie Raitt (Article)
Wednesday, November 8, 2017
It’s Bonnie Raitt’s birthday, and if ever there was a woman whose birth was worth celebrating, it’s this brilliantly bluesy broad. Yes, we know that “broad” isn’t the accepted term for women these days, but given the context, we think she’ll appreciate the sentiment and accept it in the spirit in which it’s intended. In celebration of Raitt’s birthday, we’ve put together a list of 10 tracks on which she’s guested over the years, and once you’ve made your way through those, be sure to check out our official Bonnie Raitt playlist on Spotify! Jackson Browne, “The Times You’ve Come” (1973): The

Happy Anniversary: Faith Hill, BREATHE (Article)
Thursday, November 9, 2017
18 years ago today, Faith Hill released her fourth studio album, an LP which transformed her from a country music superstar into a phenomenon on the pop charts as well. Produced variously by Byron Gallimore, Dann Huff, and Hill herself, BREATHE may have technically still been promoted as a country album, but it didn’t take listeners very long to come to the conclusion that it was an unabashed bid for across-the-board success. Not that it was all that difficult for Hill to charm mainstream audiences – she’s gorgeous, she’s sweet, and she’s married to a man who’s a superstar in his own right

Make It a Double: Metallica, … AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (Article)
Thursday, November 16, 2017
Not enough people anymore buy music in order to be pummeled. Some do, to be sure; Slayer, Mastodon and others like them remain quite popular among people who enjoy a good auditory beating. It's just not the same, though, as when Metallica was coming up through the ranks in the mid- and late '80s, when each new Metallica record provided metal fans not only with an opportunity to bang their heads, but also to put on their headphones, sit in a comfortable chair, and receive some honest-to-goodness stereophonic blunt-force trauma. Many point to 1986's MASTER OF PUPPETS as the apotheosis of such

The One after the Big One: Emmylou Harris, LUXURY LINER (Article)
Thursday, November 23, 2017
In her earliest days as a performer on a national stage, Emmylou Harris cast her lot with hippie cowboys like Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers, performers who had both a reverence for tradition and the propensity for discarding that tradition when the mood or muse dictated. Parsons, in particular, could get the Byrds to sing Louvin Brothers songs onstage at the Ryman Theater, then later help the Rolling Stones develop a believable twang on STICKY FINGERS. When he sang with Harris, there was a kind of purity that seemed unreal—they weren't just duet partners; they were natural

Single Stories: Eagles, “New Kid in Town” (Article)
Thursday, November 9, 2017
Way back yonder in 1976, the Eagles released the first single from their HOTEL CALIFORNIA album, but do you know the story of how that single came into existence in the first place? Written by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and J.D. Souther, “New Kid In Town” was one of those songs that started as a chorus and had the rest of the track constructed around it. The author of that chorus was the aforementioned Mr. Souther, who – after penning it – played it for the Eagles members, who promptly declared that it sounded like a hit. Uncertain about how to progress with the track, however, Souther set it

Now Available: Aretha Franklin, A BRAND NEW ME (Article)
Friday, November 10, 2017
This year marks the 50 th anniversary of Aretha Franklin signing to Atlantic Records, kicking off a career with the label which led to her not only earning the title “Queen of Soul” but proving the absence of hyperbole in that title with iconic single after iconic single after… Well, let’s just say that she had five hit singles in ’67 alone, so that’s a whole lot of iconic singles. To celebrate this very big 5-0, Rhino has just released A BRAND NEW ME: ARETHA FRANKLIN WITH THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, which takes Aretha’s classic vocals from some of her most iconic songs and pairs them

Out Now: Whitesnake, SLIDE IT IN / SLIP OF THE TONGUE (Article)
Friday, November 10, 2017
A few weeks ago, Rhino reissued Whitesnake’s self-titled 1987 album to celebrate its 30 th anniversary, but we’re in no way done with our efforts to show a little love to the back catalog of David Coverdale and company. This week brings our reissues of two additional albums from their discography, a pair which provides listeners with the opportunity to both slip and slide. SLIDE IT IN (1984): Although the band originally entered the studio with Eddie Kramer on board to helm the sessions, his lack of feeling for the band led to him being replaced by Martin Birch, who ultimately produced an

Happy 25th: Mudhoney, PIECE OF CAKE (Article)
Wednesday, October 11, 2017
25 years ago this week, Mudhoney reaped the benefits of being from Seattle and released their first major-label album. Produced by Conrad Uno, PIECE OF CAKE was released on Reprise Records, which meant that Mudhoney was playing in the majors for the first time in their career. Not that they hadn’t already made considerable critical waves in 1988 when they released their debut EP, SUPERFUZZ BIGMUFF, featuring the all-time classic track “Touch Me I’m Sick.” In the wake of Nirvana’s phenomenal success, however, every band that had been lumped into the so-called “grunge” movement was being snapped

Out Tomorrow: Barenaked Ladies, GORDON LP (Article)
Thursday, October 12, 2017
It seems like only yesterday when a fresh-faced collective of Canadians armed with a debut album filled with incredibly catchy tunes arrived from the Great White North and took America by storm, but brace yourselves: it’s been 25 years since Barenaked Ladies released GORDON. To celebrate its anniversary, Rhino will be releasing GORDON on 180-gram vinyl. To give you an idea of just how jam-packed with great songs the album was when it was originally released, it’s actually a 2-LP set now, but it’s got everything you remember and it sounds better than ever. Here’s the full track listing of the

Out Now: Sepultura, CHAOS A.D. (Article)
Friday, October 13, 2017
When Sepultura first came roaring out of Brazil in 1984, the hard rock band’s emphasis was definitely on the roar, but their musical evolution over the course of their career has been considerable, and nowhere is it more evident than in their mid-1990s work. Rhino is revisiting two of Sepultura’s seminal albums from that era, and the first of the pair arrives in stores today: 1993’s CHAOS A.D. Recorded at Rockfield Studios and Chepstow Castle, Wales, CHAOS A.D. found Sepultura incorporating a groove metal sound into their music, and the end result was an album that has been declared one of the
