Journey - Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour - Originally released in 2005 on DVD, this show, recorded on November 6, 1981 at The Summit, featured Journey at the peak. It’s hard to argue that Escape was the best album of their storied career and this show is jam packed with hits. I mean, it’s Journey live and its from Houston…you kind of have to buy it.

Old 97’s - Blame It On Gravity [CD] - All of the Old 97’s albums need a reissue, so I’m glad to see 200’s Blame It On Gravity get one. The Old 97's are Alt-Country pioneers originally based in Dallas, Texas. The band credits this album's enthusiasm to their return to Dallas to record, the first time since their initial independent release. The band, still comprised of original members Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples, deliver what they believe is the finest album of their 15-year career. The group formed in 1993 and took their name from an old country song popularized by Johnny Cash, "Wreck of the Old 97."
