Chrome Dreams II by Neil Young Buy new: $11.99 - What we have here is easily Mr. Young's finest work in years, one that erases the memory of his well-intentioned but anemic 2006 protest album, Living with War. Recorded using analog gear, with Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina, pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith, and Rick Rosas on bass, CD2 manages to sound both home-grown and experimental. It's the work of an artist still not afraid to take chances, who also knows what his strengths are and doesn't stray too far from them. Trainspotters will note that three of the ten songs were written but never released before, while we all might puzzle over the title. Chrome Dreams is the name of an unreleased album from 1977. So, why is this Chrome Dreams II? Is it a similar case to 1992's Harvest Moon, when Young went back to the virtual land of his 1972 hit Harvest to write more material in that vein? As the original was reportedly lost in a fire, we may never know. Chrome Dreams II offers up gorgeous, plaintive laments and country-tinged numbers sung in that achy breaky, heart-on-sleeve voice of Young's, as well as ragged barn-storming rockers delivered with a growl. There's even an 18-minute dirge that excitedly mixes R&B back-up horns with searing electric guitar leads! Wow. --Mike McGonigal

Raising Sand Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Buy new: $11.99 - The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the untapped potential of the folk-rock revolution. Supported by the unparalleled musicianship of Marc Ribot, Dennis Crouch, Mike Seeger, Jay Bellerose, Norman Blake, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, and Riley Baugus, Plant and Krauss -- as both solo and harmony vocalists -- tackle an intriguing selection of songs from such tunesmiths as Tom Waits, Gene Clark, Sam Phillips, Townes Van Zandt, The Everly Broth! ers, and Mel Tillis. Raising Sand finds Robert Plant and Alison Krauss exploring popular music's elemental roots while still sounding effortlessly, breath-takingly contemporary.

Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces by Seether Buy new: $11.99

No World For Tomorrow by Coheed & Cambria Buy new: $10.99 - For the past 20 years, Ween has established itself as a major artistic force, combining off-the-wall musical antics with brilliantly creative songwriting. La Cucaracha, Ween's new studio record, is an eclectic, dark, humorous, and bizarre assortment of songs. In other words, it's a typical Ween record. These thirteen tracks, though strongly diverse, share a common theme: relationships. It's a theme that can be at once joyful, morbid, humorous, and often frightening. From the tenderly introspective "Lullaby" to the disturbingly offensive "My Own Bare Hands," Ween pulls no punches in its latest endeavor, which acheives its power through sharp wit, clever songwriting, and brutal honesty.

La Cucaracha by Ween Buy new: $13.97

Ultimate Santana by Santana Buy new: $22.99 - 2007 single disc anthology that brings the legendary guitarist's best recordings of his Arista Records era together with his greatest classics from the Columbia Records years on a single compact disc.

Zombie Live by Rob Zombie Buy new: $10.97 - The long-awaited first live album from Rob Zombie has arrived. A brain-bashing, soul-shaking sonic earthquake, ZOMBIE LIVE (Geffen Records/UMe), released October 23, 2007, in both clean and explicit versions, spans songs from the hard rocker's entire career. Rob Zombie has sold over 15 million albums worldwide and continues to be one of Geffen Record's top selling artists. Recorded in 2006 during the tour supporting the Educated Horses album, which hit #5 on the Pop chart, ZOMBIE LIVE finds Zombie leading a supercharged band featuring guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D, drummer Tommy Clufetos and was produced by long-time co-writer and producer Scott Humphrey.

So Much to Do by Willie Nelson Buy new: $10.97 - 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. This album features thirteen tracks with minimal musical accompaniment, allowing his rich and distinctive voice to come to the fore. That he wrote or co-wrote all but one of the tracks on this album only adds to the allure. Hallmark. 2007.

I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert Buy new: $16.19 / Used from: $16.58
Stephen Colbert was The Daily Shows longest-running and most diverse correspondent. In addition to his role as Senior Political Correspondent he was one of the hosts of Even Stephven, a point-counterpoint assault featuring co-correspondent Steve Carell, and the host of This Week in God, in which he reported on all things theological with the assistance of the God Machine. His personality, insight and overall rightness could only lead to The Colbert Report, a half-hour nightly platform for him to give his take on the issues of the day, and, more importantly, to tell you why everyone elses take is just plain wrong.

Clapton: The Autobiography by Eric Clapton Buy new: $15.60 / Used from: $15.60
From Publishers Weekly Readers hoping for sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll won't be disappointed by the legendary guitarist's autobiography. As he retraces every step of his career, from the early stints with the Yardbirds and Cream to his solo successes, Clapton also devotes copious detail to his drug and alcohol addictions, particularly how they intersected with his romantic obsession with Pattie Boyd. His relationship with the woman for whom he wrote Layla culminated in a turbulent marriage he describes as drunken forays into the unknown. But he genuinely warms to the subject of his recovery, stressing its spiritual elements and eagerly discussing the fund-raising efforts for his Crossroads clinic in Antigua. His self-reckoning is filled with modesty, especially in the form of dissatisfaction with his early successes. He professes ambivalence about the famous Clapton is God graffiti, although he admits he was grateful for the recognition from fans. At times, he sounds more like landed gentry than a rock star: bragging about his collection of contemporary art, vigorously defending his hunting and fishing as leisure activities, and extolling the virtues of his quiet country living. But both the youthful excesses and the current calm state are narrated with an engaging tone that nudges Clapton's story ahead of other rock 'n' roll memoirs.

With a shiny doo-wop sound highlighted by lead singer Frankie Valli’s stratospheric falsetto, they wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds, and sold 175 million records worldwide—all before they were thirty.

Rock and Roll Jesus by Kid Rock Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $6.25
Rock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem "Bawitdaba." Other hits like "Cowboy" and "American Bad A**" followed while ballads like his "Picture" duet with Sheryl Crow and "Only God Knows Why" helped to propel him forward as one of the greatest artists of our time. His latest offering Rock N Roll Jesus is no exception, running the gamut from hard rock to hip-hop to country and soul. Of the album, which Rock co-produced with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance), he says: "I am proud of every single song on this record. It works from start to finish."

Cease to Begin by Band of Horses Buy new: $7.99
Released in March of 2006, Band of Horses debut Everything All the Time made good on thepromise hinted at in their early shows and demos. The band went from early shows opening forfriends Iron & Wine, to playing on The Late Show with David Letterman by July, and being nominatedas one of ten finalists (along with Joanna Newsom, Beirut, Tom Waits, and, the eventual winner,Cat Power) for the Shortlist Music Prize for that same year. And the record was well-receivedcritically, with celebratory press in Spin, Entertainment Weekly, NY Times, Harp, Billboard, Pitchfork,Magnet, NME, Uncut, and a slew of others. Not a bad place to start.For a lot of reasons, Cease to Begin is the perfect title for this new record. Not only do thesongs themselves weave this theme through the record, but stopping and starting anew is alsoa reflection of the past year and a half for Band of Horses. Though they worked with producerPhil Ek again, as they did on Everything All the Time, much has changed between the fairlyrecent then and now. There have been band members who have come and gone, including MatBrooke, who left the band to pursue other interests and his own band. For core members BenBridwell, Rob Hampton and Creighton Barrett, there has been a move from Seattle, WA to Mt.Pleasant, SC, a relocation that had been planned for some time so that they could all be closerto their families. And, close friends and family have come and gone some far too early. Necessarilyshot through with these experiences, the songs on Cease to Begin are strikingly beautiful, if lesselliptical and more straightforward, with more sophisticated arrangements than the last record.

The Naked Brothers Band by The Naked Brothers Band Buy new: $10.99
It's been called Nickelodeon's answer to Hannah Montana, but The Naked Brothers Band is more like a latter-day Partridge Family, only you get the sense that Nat and Alex Wolff--stars of the TV series, singers in the band, and real-life brothers--lead way more balanced lives than Danny Bonaduce ever did. So it doesn't come as much of a surprise that, with the exception of "Banana Smoothie," a song that sounds extracted from a Wiggles record and grooved up for a slightly older audience, they've crafted a solid debut CD. Where the Partridges had a handful of memorable hooks and killer harmonies, the Nakeds--Nat and Alex and four non-related kid bandmates--have Beatle-y melodies and believably kid-like voices and themes. "Crazy Car," a dazed-sounding song, and one of this disc's strongest, steers straight at 8-year-olds, never minding whether it picks up any parent-age passengers (a la the Partridges) along the way. Ultimately, that's the draw--The Naked Brothers Band, the show, falls into the mock-reality category, but its depiction of a couple of kids who've hit the big time and can't quite get a grip keeps it real. The music, not too polished and not too serious, is true to form. If Nat and Alex keep collecting fans the way David Cassidy did before them, "If That's Not Love" could be the new "C'mon, Get Happy," "Beautiful Eyes" the new "I Think I Love You." --Tammy La Gorce

Necessary Evil by Deborah Harry Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $11.87
Anyone hoping for the 62-year-old Debbie Harry to sit up and act her age will be sorely disappointed by the former Blondie vixen's sixth solo album (and first in 14 years). Viscerally contemporary, Necessary Evil harnesses youthful exuberance from across the charts, and Harry and her team of producers and songwriting partners do radio-ready rock, pop, and soul-lite with à la mode savvy to spare. Big-time sing-alongs ("Two Times Blue," "You're Too Hot") rub elbows with spare, distorted guitar lines piled in arena-sized stacks ("Love with Vengeance," "Charm Redux," and the especially vivacious "Whiteout"). "The Devil's dick is hard to handle," Harry growls in "School for Scandal," encapsulating the attitude of shameless defiance coursing through this and other lean, mean, up-tempo numbers like the half-rapped, full-lipped "Dirty and Deep." Between the reversed hip-hop break bisecting "Charm Alarm," the title track's stolen riff from Rage Against the Machine's "Know Your Enemy," and Harry's bits of Internet imagery, this album won't dare let go of its of-the-moment moxie. Gumdrops like the flaccid "What Is Love" and closer "Paradise" are irrevocable but few; in all, the occasional slice of tripe strangely sweetens Harry's otherwise surprising longevity, ready to rock and salty as ever. --Jason Kirk

The Vicar of Dibley - A Holy Wholly Happy Ending Buy new: $14.99
Dawn French dons her cassock and collar once more for two very special episodes of The Vicar of Dibley, one of the BBC's most popular comedies. It boasts the brilliant comic writing of Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diary) and a gifted ensemble cast including Emma Chambers (Notting Hill) and Richard Armitage (BBC's Robin Hood). The Handsome Stranger - Gerry is fed up with all the "townies" buying weekend cottages in Dibley -- that is, until she meets one particularly charming newcomer. Could he be the one? Or is it Gerry's destiny to end up heartbroken in another 6-foot deep puddle?

Songs of Mass Destruction by Annie Lennox
One of the most respected women in popular music, Annie Lennox's career has spanned over 25 years and drawn numerous accolades and awards including Grammys®, Brits, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar® for her song "Into the West," from Lord of the Rings. VH1 describes her as "the Greatest living White Soul Singer." Ms. Lennox has consistently pushed boundaries and embraced excellence; her latest work, Songs of Mass Destruction is another example of her unforgettable vocal talents.

Revival by John Fogerty
John's new album is a triumph, with a sound that is at once timeless yet urgently rooted in this time and place. The lyrics recall a continuous conversation with America, a reminder of John's unmatched ability to resonate with people from all walks of life. With a voice that can cut glass and inspire generations, and a band that sounds like it came to tear the roadhouse down, 'Revival' is not just a great John Fogerty album -- and a great rock album -- it's an essential musical work by an artist without peer, that will certainly stand as one of the most compelling albums of 2007.

Exile on Mainstream by Matchbox Twenty
After 28 million records sold worldwide, 5 Grammy nominations, and more #1 hits and weeks at #1 than any other artist in history at Adult Top 40 and Modern AC, Melisma/Atlantic recording group matchbox twenty is overdue for a Greatest Hits package. In order to create something truly special for their fans, the band returned to the studio to record their first new material in five years. Grammy-winning producer Steve Lillywhite oversaw the sessions in L.A., marking the band s first work with the renowned producer - whose credits include the likes of U2, The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, and many others. Out of the session came six brand-new songs, turning the package into a new EP with a bonus of 11 matchbox twenty hits. The new tracks also mark their first recordings as a foursome.

Cowboy Town by Brooks & Dunn

A second DVD of bonus material presents 24 archival performances, from his earliest known TV performance on Swiss TV in 1970 to his BBC "In Session" show from 2006.

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. This album features thirteen tracks with minimal musical accompaniment, allowing his rich and distinctive voice to come to the fore. 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. CAKE's distinctive brand of music has transcended scene and genre alike for over a decade, garnering the band several platinum records and a dedicated following. 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.

Trey Day by Trey Songz

Mantaray by Siouxsie
Decca Records is proud to announce the release of MANTARAY, the debut solo album from renowned British artist Siouxsie. Siouxsie's first solo recording without The Banshees or The Creatures will be released on October 2. MANTARAY, produced by Steve Evans (Robert Plant) and Charlie Jones is fresh and contemporary, while remaining immediately recognizable. Incorporating industrial rhythms, modern glam and other orgainic elements, Siouxsie's iconic vocals are showcased in a newly expansive sound across the whole album. Since her first appearance onstage in 1976 at the 100 Club Punk Festival, Siouxsie has been a pioneer. 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.

Romancing the 60's by Frankie Valli Frankie Valli is best known as the lead singer of The Four Seasons, a music act of the 1960s, which continued from then to the 1970s disco scene to the present day. Valli scored over 25 Top 40 hits with The Four Seasons, and additional Top 40 hits as a solo act in the late 1960s and again in the mid to late 1970s. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with The Four Seasons in 1990. As the lead singer of the Four Seasons, he had a string of hits beginning with the #1 hits Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry in 1962 and Walk Like A Man in 1963, as well as a long list of Top 10 records, well into the late 70s!

Ramones: It's Alive 1974-1996 Punk forefathers Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Tommy, Marky, Richie, and C-Jay Ramone outlasted almost every one of their legions of followers. For over twenty years, they delivered their signature garage-flavored, ear-shattering chainsaw level and pop-skewed sound through a string of now-classic, loud-and-fast punk rock LPs, and 2,263 concerts together. This new two DVD set captures the essence of the legendary racket they made with over four hours of rare and previously unreleased live footage that's the closest you can get to experiencing this blitzkrieg of a band. From their earliest performances at lower Manhattan's CBGBs to international festivals in front of hundreds of thousands of fans, IT'S ALIVE 1974-1996 is your VIP ticket to the Ramones. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, the band may be gone, but their sound and influence are indestructible.

New Releases For The Week Of August 26, 2007

'Ben Harper's Life' Goes On

Technically speaking, Ben Harper's new record, "Lifeline," due this
week on Virgin, was recorded during a single lively week in the
artist's Paris home base. But it was truly born during two months'
worth of sound checks on a European tour by Harper and his band the
Innocent Criminals.



"It all hit me in a split second," Harper says. He explains that he
was "basically tired of mundane sound checks. We were at the end of
an eight-month run, about to start a two-month tour, and I thought,
'We own our own sound system, amps, speakers -- everything you want
when you're bringing music to life. But when you get to sound check,
you're playing the same material. This can't stand.'"



So Harper and his band hatched a plan: Each member would come to
sound check with song ideas that they would refine before the show.
"The operative term was 'acoustic soul,' " Harper says of the
record's framework. "'Soul' meaning anything from Motown to Blind
Willie Johnson. And we said, 'What do you got? Throw it out.'"



"Lifeline" finds Harper and his Innocent Criminals -- drummer Oliver
Charles, percussionist Leon Mobley, bassist Juan Nelson, guitarist
Michael Ward and keyboardist Jason Yates -- at their most
thematically united. Though there are tastes of gravel-road blues
("Needed You Tonight"), gospel ("Say You Will"), soulful anthems
("Heart of Matters") and subtle but sharp calls to arms ("Fight
Outta You"), there's a certain organic unity to its sound.





Yung Joc 'Hustle' And Flow

Bad Boy rapper Yung Joc just wants to have fun. And judging by the
success of his first two singles last year, so do his listeners.
Joc's "It's Goin' Down" -- a ditty about clothes and cars that even
spawned a "joccin' " dance -- spent eight weeks atop the Hot
R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and helped the rapper become Warner Music
Group's No. 1 ringtone artist, according to the company. The
similarly catchy follow-up, "I Know You See It," reached No. 5 on
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.



But a third single, "Dope Boy Magic," which awkwardly cast Joc as a
drug-slinger, failed to catch on. So on his sophomore album, "Hustlenomics,"
Joc is tailoring his rhymes to the younger fans he attracted with
"It's Goin' Down" while attempting not to lose sight of the core
hip-hop audience. Due this week, the set is led by the single
"Coffee Shop," on which he implores, "Kids, please don't do drugs."



"I always hear parents tell me, 'My 5-year-old daughter loves you.'
That's why I didn't want to talk about drugs when I talked about
hustling on this record," the Georgia native says. "That's not what
people expect from me. 'Coffee Shop' is fun because I know the kids
feel me. The song's title is really about me selling everything. I
used to cut hair, sell clothes, shoes, women's bags, accessories,
cars, whatever, so my hustling headquarters is the coffee shop."



In an effort to beat the sophomore jinx -- which Joc says happens
because most MCs don't have enough material to choose from -- he's
been recording since his debut, "New Joc City," dropped in 2006.
Unlike on the first album, several big-name producers (the Neptunes,
Cool & Dre, DJ Quik, Jazze Pha and Collipark) and guests (the Game,
Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and Jim Jones) appear on "Hustlenomics."





Lyle Lovett Bigger And Better

Texas-bred singer/songwriter/actor Lyle Lovett has been as busy as
ever in the past year in preparation for his new album, "It's Not
Big It's Large." Recorded live in the studio with his longtime
collaborator the Large Band, the follow-up to 2003's "My Baby Don't
Tolerate" is due this week via Lost Highway. Lovett admits he's
taking a more proactive approach to marketing this time around,
offering the album in a deluxe CD/DVD edition as well as in a
Starbucks-exclusive format with extra tracks.



As for the unusual album title, "The name of the band was always
sort of a double-meaning thing," Lovett says. "It's my way of
saying, 'I'm not trying to do legit big band,' but it hints at it.
And there are 36 people on the road every day right now, so it's
larger than ever. That was the intent of the name originally, but
people still invariably will refer to it as 'the big band,' and
people invariably are asking me, 'Are you touring with your big
band?" I always just say, 'Yes, we are," but [the album title] is a
small attempt to clarify."



Lovett hit the studio last October "but with our touring schedule
through the end of last year and the beginning of this year, it just
took us this long to finish it," he says. "I was trying to feature
the whole band since we hadn't done that in a while. We recorded
everything live. I've always felt as though recordings come out
different when you record all together, like you play live. Just
being a little less careful in the performing in terms of recording
always feels better.



On the road this summer with k.d. lang, Lovett and company have
"been playing quite a few [new] songs. The response has been good,
and it's fun to perform songs people haven't heard or they're not
used to listening to. I always try to put a set together that
features the group that we have out on the road. So some of the
bigger songs like 'I Will Rise Up' that we're doing, they feature
the singers and the horns. We're doing 'Don't Cry a Tear' because
that enables us to break down and do something in a smaller setup
onstage."



Also out this week



Veteran vocalist Paul Anka's "Classic Songs, My Way" (Decca).

The Cledus T. Judd-steered album "Boogity Boogity, A Tribute to the
