Rhino Factoids: Head Hits the Big Screen (Article)
Friday, November 6, 2015
47 years ago today, The Monkees released their first and only major motion picture, an effort which-although it has certainly found a fanbase over the years—served to befuddle far more of the band's fans than it charmed. 1968 did not begin as the best of all possible years for The Monkees: NBC had kicked their prime-time TV series to the curb in March, which—probably not coincidentally—was the same month that they released their final top-10 single, “Valleri.” By the time the show disappeared from NBC's lineup, however, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork were already

Coming Soon: Rush, Counterparts / Test for Echo on vinyl (Article)
Thursday, November 5, 2015
As you probably already know, 2015 is Rush's 40th anniversary as a band, and it's a monumental occasion that we've been celebrating with some top-notch vinyl reissues. And we're not just blowing smoke when we use the term “top-notch,” friend: we're talking 200-gram vinyl here. Even better, each one comes with a code to access a high-definition digital download. Last month, we delivered Presto and Roll The Bones. In January, we'll be offering up Feedback and Snakes & Arrows, which we're telling you now just so you can be financially prepared. This week, however, it's time to revisit 1993's

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Shades of November (Article)
Monday, November 2, 2015
Depending on where you find yourself reading this, it may very well feel like "Fall" outside. And I use those quotations for a reason, as, here, in Los Angeles where I sit typing, it was a balmy 75 degrees today. As a non LA native, who grew up accustomed to four distinct seasons, I still catch myself on days like today having to consciously think about what season, what month, we are presently in. And while I'm obviously not alone in this phenomena, it can still be jarring at times. Despite near 15 years living in southern California, I still think in terms of seasons. And for our purposes

Interview: Jay Farrar of Son Volt (Article)
Monday, November 2, 2015
by Will Harris Once upon a time, there was a band called Uncle Tupelo that helped define the musical genre known as “Americana,” and if you disagree with this premise, the editors of No Depression would probably like to have a word with you. After four albums, Uncle Tupelo split, with its two predominant musical forces going in different directions: Jeff Tweedy went off to start a little group called Wilco, while Jay Farrar—who actually left first, just for the record—started his own band. That band, of course, was Son Volt, and their debut album, Trace is celebrating its 20th anniversary this

Now Available: Van Morrison, Astral Weeks / His Band and the Street Choir: Expanded and Remastered (Article)
Friday, October 30, 2015
It must be pretty great to be Van Morrison - particularly when he gets one of his royalty checks for “Brown Eyed Girl” - but it must also be a little frustrating at times, since he's released so many great albums over the course of his career and yet is so frequently identified solely by his hit singles. If you're a longtime fan of Van the man, then you're no doubt nodding your head in agreement right now, but if you're one of the folks who only knows those singles, then we've got two great ways for you to begin the process of further educating yourself on his back catalog…and, say, you

Pantera, History of Hostility (Article)
Wednesday, October 28, 2015
Looking for a way to celebrate the weekend in a suitably hard-rocking fashion? Then get ready for the release of History of Hostility, a nine-track compilation that provides what we think is one of the best possible primers for those looking to learn about a little band called Pantera. History of Hostility features inclusions from all five of Pantera's studio albums, so you can tell that there's been a concerted effort to cover the band's career in as even-handed a fashion as possible: you'll get material from Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display Of Power, Far Beyond Driven, The Great Southern

Doing a 180: Gang of Four, Solid Gold / Starsailor, Love is Here (Article)
Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. These are the latest to get that treatment. You're welcome. Gang of Four, Solid Gold: When pop culture elitists sit around citing the most influential bands of the post-punk era, Gang of Four have a tendency to pop up in the conversation (as well they should), but while their debut album is generally the one held aloft as the reason they were so awesome, let's not praise Entertainment! at the expense of their very strong sophomore effort, Solid Gold. You may or may not know it for its semi-hit, “What We

Digital Roundup: 10/26/2015 (Article)
Monday, October 26, 2015
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

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Halloween - Part One (Article)
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.
