"Brighter days are up ahead," declares Dwight Yoakam on the title track of his new album Brighter Days (Via Records/Thirty Tigers), his first release of new original material in nine years. Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand-new songs written/co-written by Yoakam, as well as two seemingly disparate covers of �Keep On The Sunny Side� by the Carter Family and �Bound Away� by Cake, artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam. The infectious lead single �I Don�t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom),� was written by Yoakam specifically for a collaboration with self-proclaimed Dwight Yoakam superfan, Post Malone. At once timeless and timely, in fact downright cowpunk-tual, Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, blending a modern reverence for the history of country music with the pioneering rock and roll spirit of California. The result creates a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy that captures the quintessential Dwight Yoakam �cool� that has separated the two-time Grammy winner from his country contemporaries since the start of his legendary career. As usual, Yoakam�s lyrics throughout the album are both deceivingly effortless and poignant. Brighter Days was mixed by world-class engineer Chris Lord-Alge and is slated for release Nov 15, 2024.

A bruising and shadowy return to form from original Smashing Pumpkins members Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha, and Billy Corgan. Recorded in the immediate aftermath of their 33-song concept album, �Atum�, 'Aghori Mhori Mei' harkens back to the band�s early 90�s canon; where guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled.

Quantum Baby is the second installment in Tinashe�s BB/ANG3L album trilogy. The first in the series, BB/ANG3L, was released Fall �23 and was followed by the BB/ANG3L tour and Tinashe�s first Tiny Desk performance. Tinashe began teasing the hit single �Nasty,� this past Spring, debuting the song at Coachella 2024. The song quickly went viral, to become the song of the summer. This led to everyone asking the most prevalent question of the summer: �Is somebody gonna match my freak?� �Quantum Baby is about getting to know me on a deeper level. It's about exploring who I am as a person and who I am as an artist. I�ve never been one to be put into a box, so the name Quantum Baby encompasses all the different parts that make up who I am as a creative,� says Tinashe, describing the album as �forward, hot and lots of bass!�

Marking his 30th anniversary, beloved tenor Andrea Bocelli, the most celebrated classical singer in modern history, celebrates his iconic career with �Duets � 30th Anniversary.� This new career-spanning collection features 12 songs with Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion, Matteo Bocelli, Jennifer Lopez, Georgio, alongside brand-new superstar collaborations such as Chris Stapleton, Marc Anthony and KAROL G.

Following Wilco�s acclaimed 2023 album Cousin, Wilco revisited unfinished material from these sessions to craft �Hot Sun Cool Shroud�. Collaborating again with engineering mixer Tom Schick, the band crafted six tracks that expand on the sound of Cousin. According to Jeff Tweedy, they have �a summertime-after-dark kind of feeling. It starts off pretty hot, like heat during the day, has some instrumentals on it that are a little agitated and uncomfortable, and ends with a cooling breeze.�

Memphis-born trumpeter Booker Little was a bright light of the jazz world who died tragically young at age 23. A prodigiously talented hornman as well as a composer, Little first came to prominence as a member of Max Roach�s band which he joined in 1956 after the death of Clifford Brown, another trumpet great gone far too soon. Little only made a handful of albums as a leader during his brief career including his astounding debut Booker Little 4 & Max Roach recorded in 1958 for United Artists when he was just 20 years old. The full breadth of Little�s artistry leaps out of the grooves with his brilliant tone, astonishing technique, and inventive lines matched by Roach�s fiery drums throughout this engaging set that also featured George Coleman on tenor saxophone, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Art Davis on bass. The album opens with Miles Davis� �Milestones� and includes the standards �Sweet and Lovely� and a stunning version of �Moonlight Becomes You,� but the album�s centerpiece is the trio of Little originals: �Rounder�s Mood,� �Dungeon Waltz,� and �Jewel�s Tempo.�

�Leon� is the highly anticipated fourth album from Grammy Award-winning recording artist, songwriter, and performer Leon Bridges.

Featuring production by Ian Fitchuk (Beyonce, Noah Kahan), Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves), and Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), Leon describes the album as �somewhat of a self-portrait� I'm excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I'm from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.�

Longtime Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne keys and guitar player Adam Wakeman (as Milton Keanes) is back with Jazz Sabbath � The 1968 Tapes. This RSD Black Friday exclusive MONO edition features eight Black Sabbath songs re-imagined as classic jazz tracks.
Even though the two albums Jazz Sabbath recorded in 1969 (if you choose to believe the liner notes) were only just released in this decade, the songs did find their way to millions in the last 50 years. Through a vicious cycle of personal tragedy and plagiarism the songs intended to change the jazz world ended up giving birth to a much darker sound. However, the songs on those two albums were not the first ones the band recorded.
These are.
In 1968 Jazz Sabbath were an instant hit on the UK jazz scene. It wasn�t long until they were offered a record deal. They spent weeks in the studio recording the tracks that got the heaviest reactions at their live shows until they captured their live energy on tape. Unfortunately, the label told them the songs were too experimental and the whole album �just a labyrinth of noise�. The label manager said there was no way this album could be a hit and told them to record some of their �easier� tracks instead.
The two albums that followed are classics in their own right, but the band were not mistaken in thinking they had recorded their best work in 1968. Like the songs on the first two albums, these tracks also found their way to the public through that Birmingham band. Whether they copied them from live bootlegs or got their hands on the mix, it doesn�t matter anymore. Their popularity, even in the crude 'metal' way they were covered, proves just how monumental these songs were and how record labels often fail to recognize a visionary artist.
With the truth now finally out there and that Birmingham band exposed as the musical charlatans they are, Jazz Sabbath have finally mastered the 1968 tapes to present their best work to the public.
