There are labors of love and then there are obsessive passion projects that we can only marvel over. For Another Mississippi Sunday Morning, Tinariwen producer Ian Brennan took on the arduous task of obtaining permission to record a Sunday service at the notorious Parchman Farm prison. Though recorded separately, it is presented in the order of a church service. The result is a revelation, as it does not sound like a field recording at all, and it mixes traditional and contemporary numbers beautifully. For obscure prison system reasons, the artists were not allowed to be identified or photographed, so the listener is forced to focus entirely on the music, which shows off the deep variety of traditional gospel.

Tom & His Free Mockingbirds, an indie folk-blues band on shoestrings budget.

Cool instrumental music, recorded in superior sound quality, and wrapped in stunning artwork. Enjoy!

Past Masters is a compilation album series by The Beatles released in 1988 - the initial two volumes were released on 7 March 1988 on separate CDs and a double collection two-record set followed on 24 October 1988 in the United States and 10 November 1988 in the United Kingdom. When The Beatles' albums were first released on Compact Disc, this series was put together so that The Beatles' entire catalogue of released work would be available on CD. None of these songs (in the versions included on this album) are found on any of The Beatles' original non-compilation albums released in the United Kingdom up to 1970

Little can be said about Grave Digger that hasn’t already been expressed by me or a thousand other metal reviewers. In existence since 1982, this Germanic heavy metal institution has crossed an ocean of time, tide, shifting scenes, and countless lineup changes while continuing to churn out their tried-and-trve brand of Accept-meets-Manowar metal. Bone Collector is their 21st freaking album and it’s more of the same meat and grave-y, done with an admirable amount of energy and grit considering the advanced age of some of these geez-lords. Longtime guitarist Alex Ritt is out, replaced by former Ordan Ogan axe Tobias Kersting, but the sound and style remain largely unaffected.
