So Much to Do by Willie Nelson
If Willie Nelson had concentrated on just his songwriting, he would be considered one of the most important composers of his generation. Fortunately, Willie maintained his writing career in tandem with his own recording career, further adding to his importance.

That he wrote or co-wrote all but one of the tracks on this album only adds to the allure. Hallmark. 2007.

B-Sides and Rarities by Cake
Since breaking on to the music scene in the early nineties, CAKE has not only survived, but thrived in a tumultuous industry where major labels have continued to merge themselves out of existence, indies are regaining power, and the average band's life span is a meager two albums.

The band now brings forth a unique collection of "b-sides and rarities", their first release since 2004's studio album "Pressure Chief". Songs on the album were originally sung by legendary singers such as Frank Sinatra, Barry White, Buck Owens, George Jones, Ozzy Osborne, and Kenny Rogers. The band has used these songs to find new creative elements within themselves, producing eloquently accomplished tracks that simultaneously maintain the band's own unique stamp. CAKE's "b-sides and rarities" comes complete with a collectible "scratch and sniff" CD package and features re-mixed and re-mastered tracks, plus an exclusive live bonus track of "War Pigs" with Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips.

She captivated audiences with her dramatic, compelling presence that pushed, then broke, boundaries. Her continually evolving style from chaotic, aggressive punk to sophisticated, glossy pop resulted in an impressive canon of work that continues to remain provocative today.
