Among the English language's premier phrase-turners with music relevant to any age, the late great John Prine was part of the Atlantic Records family for four albums before he jumped over to Asylum for another three records and eventually his own label Oh Boy. A creative comeback of sorts, 1980's tasteful Storm Windows was Prine's last for Asylum. Produced by Barry Beckett (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon), the album features ten country-flavored tracks, six of which were written by Prine, with two more songs co-written with guitarist John Burns. Recorded at the iconic Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Sheffield, Alabama, poignant standouts include "Living in the Future," "One Red Rose," and the title track.

First New Album from Original Line-Up Since 1985's Ain't Love Grand!

On the 40th Anniversary of the landmark, Los Angeles, and 35 years since the original line-up have released an album – X, one of the greatest punk rock bands in music history, delivers Alphabetland! It finds Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake embodying the same spirit they did when they began in 1977. "When your heart is broken you think every song is about that. These songs were written in the last 18 months and it blows my mind how timely they are," says Doe.
