Once again we're a day late and a dollar short this week on our weekly New Album Releases column because once again AMG has totally played me out. I've started a miniseries within my daily Verse Chorus Verse column I'm calling 'What Would Tiny Tim Do?' and it's all about thankfulness and blessings. I'd be a lot more thankful at the moment if I'd gotten my New Release e-mail on time. I'd be thankful if I'd gotten one at all. What to do? Improvise.
I think I know why there hasn't been a list from AMG after scanning a few of the sites out there. It's thin this week, and I don't mean that in the sense of I'm an elitist and only like things that are cool. I mean the record labels seem to have dumped most of their hottest titles on us leading up to Black Friday and there weren't many held over for this first week of December. There will likely be an interesting title or two between now and Christmas, but this week is anorexic.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
An Evening With Il Divo-Live In Barcelona (CD/DVD)
Il Divo
I got pretty well creamed last week for trashing Adam Lambert. I wonder if this Simon Cowell-related product will inspire the same passion. Actually, I'm not going to trash Il Divo. I didn't know who or what they were. I've heard the name but had to look them up. They're signed to Cowell's label and are an international operatic pop band, in some fashion. If that's your thing, here's a live CD/DVD package from them.
The Best of Enya
Enya
This isn't the first Enya compilation to hit the market, but it is the first one to add her contributions from the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack to "Carribbean Blue" and "Orinoco Flow."

Next week (or the week after), will probably be the last week you get reports from AMG till the new year, cause that's when the industry shuts down for the holiday. f.y.i...
