Brand new album from Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) performing acoustic covers of Bob Dylan songs. Stewart and Dylan have been dear friends for over 40 years and this is Dave's love letter to Bob. Talking about Stewart, Dylan says, "An explosive musician, Captain Dave is a dreamer and a fearless innovator, a visionary of high order, very delicately tractable on the surface but beneath that, he's a slamming, thumping, battering ram, very mystical but rational and sensitive when it comes to the hot irons of art forms."

Blue Bossa In The Bronx: Live From The Blue Morocco is a never-before-released recording of jazz trumpet icon Kenny Dorham, captured live at the Blue Morocco jazz club in The Bronx, NY in 1967 - featuring Sonny Red, Cedar Walton, Paul Chambers and Denis Charles. Transferred from the original tape reels that were recorded by engineer Bernard Drayton, the limited-edition 2 LP set was mastered for by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Le Vinylist. The elaborate booklet includes liner notes by jazz author and scholar Bob Blumenthal, plus interviews with artists who knew or were inspired by Kenny Dorham, such as Eddie Henderson, Jeremy Pelt, Steven Bernstein, Reggie Workman, Dan Morgenstern and others. Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2025.

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jackie DeShannon got her start singing gospel at home and in church as a child in her native Kentucky, and then singing country songs in her teens on her own weekly radio show, followed by rockabilly in the late 1950s. But her career really started in full swing after she moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and signed to Liberty Records and it's song publishing arm, Metric Music, where she would write on her own as well as in collaboration with Sharon Sheely, Randy Newman, Jack Nitzsche, and Jimmy Page. Her recordings during this time initially emphasized rhythm-and-blues material and then embraced the folk era blending with west coast country rock and the Southern California sound. As a staff member of Metric Music, Jackie created a countless number of demo recordings. Although some of these have appeared on unofficial/bootleg CDs over the years and a few were sprinkled in her with her Liberty/Imperial releases, there has never been a complete authorized commercial issue of DeShannon demos until now. Covering the years 1966-68, LOVE FOREVER offers over 16 demo selections by Jackie which reflect the decade's shift to a more introspective songwriting approach. Although Jackie enjoyed major hit singles such as "What the World Needs Now Is Love" and her evergreen anthem "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," her craftsmanship as a tunesmith took a more personal tack here. And with recollections by Lady Love herself incorporated into Richie Unterberger's liner notes as well as photographs from her private collection, LOVE FOREVER paints a picture of a timeless artist evolving with the times, on her way to new creative territory in the 1970s with career crowning compositions and recordings at Capitol, Atlantic, Columbia, and Amherst Records. And best of all, 10 of the 16 tracks have never appeared ANYWHERE (and only one on vinyl), so most of the tunes and tracks on LOVE FOREVER will be new even to DeShannon devotees. Pressed for Record Store Day in Valentine red with white swirl vinyl limited to 1250 copies!

For Flotsam and Jetsam, the heavy metal highway has been sprinkled with nails since their inception in 1981. However, despite the rough ride, the band has endured and continues to put out album after album of unapologetic heavy metal and thrash. Eleven years after releasing their classic debut album Doomsday for the Deceiver, the band returned to the label that signed them, writing more aggressive material than it had in years. High is a declaration of hate, brimming with full-fisted guitar riffs and head-bobbing beats-an unrestrained battle cry from a band that refuses to lay down and die.

Twenty-five years into a music career that has seen five Grammy nominations, two RIAA certified Gold records and, most recently, the publication of 'Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir', an honest reflection on his life in music and beyond, Mark Morton's creative energy is at an all-time high. Over the course of two decades spent building a worldwide audience as guitarist and songwriter for Lamb of God, Morton's musical ambitions were steadily evolving. While enjoying Lamb of God's success in the heavy metal world, there were still elements of his songwriting that weren't finding their way to the surface - the result being, first, 2019's 'Anesthetic', an album featuring a host of high-profile artists, including late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington, and now 'Without The Pain', his second solo outing and a paean to his longstanding love of southern rock As a young child in the '70s and '80s, southern rock music was a mainstay of Morton's small town Virginia upbringing. The sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and more helped to shape the fledgling musician's understanding of what would eventually become his lifelong passion for rock guitar. 'Without The Pain' wasn't a project Morton took on alone. Produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, the album features a world class list of contributors, including some of Americana, rock and country's biggest names Outlaw country star Cody Jinks delivers two powerful songs, including the haunting 'Brother'; Blackberry Smoke frontman Charlie Starr teams up with Americana superstar Jason Isbell on 'Come December', while Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three) delivers an attitude packed performance on opening track, 'Hell & Back'. Meanwhile, country hitmaker Travis Denning - a Georgia-born artist with a previous No. 1 on the US country airplay chart - collaborates on two moving numbers, both featuring subtle and delicate guitar textures that showcase a different dimension of Morton's songwriting. Troy Sanders (Mastodon) steps up to sing 'Nocturnal Sun', a thunderous doom dirge and the heaviest track on the album, while blues guitar phenomenon Tyler Bryant teams up with Morton for a fireworks-filled guitar duel on throwback psychedelic blues romp, 'Forever In The Light'. The album also features a choice Lynyrd Skynyrd cover, 'The Needle And The Spoon', purposefully delivered by Neil Fallon (Clutch) and released first, making it clear just where the heart of the project lies. Finally, rounding things off, there's a storming anthemic rocker fronted by Matt James of Blacktop Mojo, also the album's title track, and James will be fronting the live band when it takes to the road in 2025. Other featured players include guitar greats Grace Bowers and Jared James Nichols, while joining Morton to make up 'Without The Pain's core studio band are bassist Tim Lefebrve (David Bowie, Tedeschi Trucks Band), drummer Gary Novak (Allan Holdsworth, Alanis Morrissette) and keyboardist Adam MacDougall (The Black Crowes, Macy Gray).

Limited release of Spirit Box, available for the first time on vinyl. Originally released digitally, this edition will be the first chance for fans to acquire a physical copy of the release. Fans of Flying Lotus know very well that Steven Ellison draws from a wide variety of influences in his art. On Spirit Box, his latest EP, the influences remain as disparate as ever, resulting in what might be, for him, his most idiosyncratic project thus far. In the past, outer space, anime, and Jean-Michel Jarre would play into a FlyLo project. This time around, Ellison turns to the supernatural, the underrated, and the mystical. Ellison used this EP to morph his sound into something new; as someone who's been a trailblazer for nearly two decades, he's just starting out on a new path that plenty others are sure to follow knowing that a visionary is at it's helm.
