And for Hanson, their sixth studio album, Anthem, marks the beginning of their third decade of making music together. Anthem is an album that celebrates the power of music to ignite passion and bring people together.

Rory Block is THE most celebrated living female acoustic blues artist. On her fourth release in the acclaimed "Mentor Series" on Stony Plain, Rory pays tribute to Mississippi John Hurt, one of the most important country blues artists in history. Rory actively tours internationally and each new release is a high profile occasion in the blues community.

Blues.. for Listening, Swingin & Dancing! "Blues '65" is a celebration of the sounds that influenced him during his teenage years. This was an era when recordings of every genre were made to be radio friendly and charts saw Pop, Rock, Soul, R&B, and even Blues nestled comfortably together. There are no guitar pyrotechnics here - just straightforward danceable, Swingin' and listening grooves (Rumba Conga Twist). Otis, truly a master of his instrument in an age of 'guitar heroes', still plays in that authentic Blues style with simplicity, feel, lyricism and rhythmic attack to the fore. 'PRETEN'D was a big hit for Nat King Cole in 1953.

2013 sophomore album from the Australian duo featuring Luke Steele (The Sleepy Jackson) and Nick Littlemore (Pnau). Ice On The Dune is the long-awaited follow-up to the band's critically and commercially successful 2008 album Walking On A Dream.

Three Top Ten R&B albums into her career, Chrisette Michele moves from Def Jam to Motown for Better, an album inspired by personal development. Recovery from both a breakup and a negative self-image informs much of the material, from the booming optimism of the opening "Be in Love" ("I wanna love again, try one more time") to the closing "Can the Cool Be Loved?" (I'm on display, no defense/Sayin' what I say, no offense"). Instead of working strictly with Chuck Harmony, as she did on 2010's Let Freedom Reign, she collaborates with several producers.

There was an experiment with a near-electro album in 2010, and that was enough to send KT Tunstall in the opposite direction for this record. The sparse, countrified tone is new for her – it was recorded in Arizona, with Howe Gelb producing – but fits the reflective mood of the songs, half of them written after her father suddenly died and her marriage ended. The hallmark is delicacy: every song feels fragile. The track Made of Glass even has fragility as its subject – a friend who died of cancer left her a vase, which inspired this gently strummed meditation about breakable gifts.

Academy Award, Grammy, and Golden Globe-winning composer Hans Zimmer composed the music for this highly anticipated project, joining forces for the first time with director Zack Snyder.
The challenges of creating a Superman score are daunting because Superman is so iconographic, said Snyder. I really feel like what Hans created is perfect. Subtle and stirring, epic and commanding. Honestly, Hans crushed it.

The Art Of Doing Nothing is Mark Owen’s fourth solo album and most collaborative today, and his first since Take That reunited in 2006. Recorded in The Rabbit Hutch--the studio at the bottom of Owen's garden--the album features the tracks "Stars", "S.A.D." (featuring Ren Harvieu) and "Heaven's Falling" (featuring London rapper Jake Emlyn).

For fans of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt. Recorded by Greg Ashley (Gris Gris) and features Marissa Nadler as guest vocalist. This Is Another Life is the sophomore solo album from Dutchess & The Duke songwriter, Jesse Lortz. Case Studies is the musical project of Jesse Lortz, a prolific Seattle based musician. His lyrics wax and wane with truth bare tales from his life. Melodies surface as lines hummed in the in-between times. These easy melodies coat the heavy subject matter of suicide, heartbreak, grief and regret. As with his previous project, The Dutchess and the Duke, listening to Case Studies feels like taking part in an exploration of sentimental landscapes.

Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Goo Goo Dolls present their 2013 album, entitled Magnetic. The band, singer guitarist John Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer Mike Malinin recorded in New York, London and LA with Gregg Wattenberg (Train), Rob Cavallo (Green Day), John Shanks (Bon Jovi), and Greg Wells (Katy Perry). Magnetic is the tenth studio release for the Buffalo, NY trio.

Opener ‘Brennisteinn’ serves to make clear the shift in approach between this, Sigur Rós’ seventh studio set, and last year’s ‘Valtari’. It presents a driving rhythm, distorted guitars and something resembling a conventional structure.
‘Kveikur’ sounds like a band reborn. Having lost multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson in 2012, the Icelandic outfit decided to challenge themselves a little by roughening up the edges and toning down the glacial euphoria.

2013 release from the Alt-Country band. In 2010, the Deadstring Brothers did a reverse of the great Southern Migration, decamping from hometown Detroit and moving to Nashville. And while you can never, ever take all the Detroit out of a Detroiter, Cannery Row has a loose-limbed melancholy reminiscent of the Laurel Canyon folk scene, the outlaw Nashville days and the Upstate NY counterculture spirit of the Band. Like a hitchhiker with a dirty backpack, a well-worn leather hat, a beat up guitar case and a wistful distant smile, the Brothers have piled up stories like the highway miles and created something pretty damn close to that old G. Parsons dream of Cosmic American Music.

The Barenaked Ladies' 11th studio album, 2013's Grinning Streak, finds the band sticking with the polished, mature sound they delved into on 2010's All in Good Time. The second album the band has released since splitting with lead singer/songwriter Steven Page in 2009, Grinning Streak is also the band's first for Vanguard. Once again, longtime singer/songwriter Ed Robertson takes most of the spotlight here, with keyboardist Kevin Hearn getting one self-penned turn at the mike. Clearly, with Page having been such a huge part of the band’s sound, Barenaked Ladies had a tough time rethinking their identity.
