Coldplay - Music of the Spheres [Buy Now]

The band's ninth LP, produced by Max Martin, features twelve tracks, five of which are represented by emojis. I’m not sure of the direction Coldplay is taking with this album, but it’s sure to sell a few copies.

Heavy metal legends Judas Priest mark an incredible 50 year career with Reflections – 50 Heavy Metal Years Of Music.

The Beatles - Let It Be Super Deluxe Edition [Buy Now]

Newly mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell in stereo, 5.1 surround DTS, and Dolby Atmos. The new stereo mix of the album was guided by the original "reproduced for disc" version by Phil Spector.

A career-spanning compilation of the RIAA Platinum-selling group's greatest hits, including 16 #1 original singles, as well as the fan-favorite cover of "Careless Whisper." The track list, curated by the band, takes you through their impactful 20-year career - from their early breakthrough singles "Broken" and "Fine Again" to their recent radio success "Dangerous." Gatefold Jacket 2 LP.

Pokey LaFarge - In The Blossoms of the Shade [Buy Now]

One of my favorite artists of the last decade or so, Pokey mines the lost sounds of the 30’s through the 50’s. From the hardpan country of the 30’s to the easy rock & roll of the early 50’s, he’s a master craftsman who makes those sounds his own, while also making them feel new. His newest LP seems to fall more towards the 50’s rock & roll sounds, but could venture off into any direction from song to song.
