New album releases, week of 5-11-2004

Part of: New CDs

The most promising item in this weeks new CD releases looks like the Dirty Dozen Brass Band with Funeral for a Friend. It's a religiously oriented lineup, including such classics as "Jesus on the Mainline."

Judas Priest has a FIVE DISC set out. Why?

Notice the Rhino Handmade compilations. I recognized only one of the titles from the Hallucinations set, and NONE from the soft pop nuggets set- not even the Monkees title. Coming from Rhino, collections with a high content of unknown songs certainly light my interest.
