Ashford & Simpson – The Real Thing
They are the most successful husband & wife duo in music history. Best known for their 1984 hit Solid (as a Rock), it is their songwriting that has brought them the most success. On The Real Thing Ashford & Simpson perform the greatest songs they’ve ever written, including Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, I’m Every Woman and You’re All I Need to Get By.
Pat Green – What I’m For
Pat Green may be the most under appreciated man in country music. He’s toured with Willie Nelson and Keith Urban, packed dance halls across the country, and cracked the Billboard Country charts with 12 different singles. For an artist at the top of his game he gets nowhere near the attention he deserves. But all that is set to change with What I’m For.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes – Eye Legacy
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes was a member of the groundbreaking 90’s female group TLC, and was known for her trademark eyewear (remember that condom eye patch?).
Eye Legacy is a tribute to Left Eye featuring some of her greatest recordings and contributions from Missy Elliot, Tupak Shakur, Lil Mama and more.
Franz Ferdinand – Tonight
The Scottish rockers are back with their third full-length studio album, the latest chapter in their quest for world domination. The boys behind the 2004 smash hit Take Me Out are hoping to find success once again with Tonight, recorded entirely in Glasgow, Scotland.
Music Director’s Blog – Vol. 1
Hey I’m Seth, the Music Director – welcome to my Streeetdate blog! I’m here to talk about new and recent releases, happenings, etc. Click through to see what I’m saying about Springsteen, U2, and lots of other artists that are happening right now.
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band – Working on a Dream
Bruce and the boys from Jersey have captured magic in a bottle again and the result is Working on a Dream. Picking up where Magic left off, Springsteen once again speaks as the conscience of America – a folk hero for modern times.
Mariah Carey – Ballads
She’s got more #1 singles (18) than any other solo artist in history, and she’s second only to The Beatles (20) on the all-time list. Only the King himself, Elvis Presley, has spent more weeks at the top of the charts. Mariah Carey has dominated R&B music for nearly two decades, and her influence is as strong today as ever before.
Inaugural Special: Solid (as Barack) by Ashford & Simpson
The people have spoken, and they’ve said that Solid as Barack was too good not to be released as a single. So here it is, in honor of this historic Inauguration Day, sung by the duo who took it to #1 back in 1984, Ashford & Simpson.
Umphrey’s McGee – Mantis
Umphrey’s McGee has conquered the festival curcuit with their inventive, improvisational style and fearless covers of funk tunes both classic and current. Now the crown princes of the jamband scene are back with a new studio album, Mantis that aims to broaden their appeal beyond the mud-soaked fields and late-night dive bars.
Derek Trucks Band Already Free
Already Free is the new studio album from the Derek Trucks Band, and it’s poised to break them out of the jamband scene and onto the radio dial. Click through to hear two live tracks from the album plus an interview with Derek on his plans for 2009.
