Bruce Springsteen covers classic soul and R&B on 'Only the Strong Survive,' plus a live Alex Chilton reissue and a new album from Melissa Carper.

A live set from pop/soul singer Paul Young, plus the soundtrack from the Springsteen-inspired 'Blinded by the Light' and CDs from Dale Boyle, Big Star, and Modern Love Child.

As for the music of 2016, there was the usual amount of "meh" mixed in with a host of impressive releases. Certainly, there were no game-changers that I heard. (Sorry Kanye and Kendrick.)

If you didn't pick up the 2009 bundle of the two albums together, it's time to finally hitch your wagon to Big Star.

'Excitement at Your Feet' is Tommy Keene's new wave-centered collection of obscure covers.

The British singer/songwriter releases her 2004 covers album in the U.S. for the first time.

Excellent two disc representation of Tommy Keene's long career.

Adam Franklin & Bolts Of Melody have come up with a power-pop gem on their latest release.

The Swimmers’ People Are Soft is a damn good record.

Chris Bell's amazing I Am The Cosmos original 12 tracks are expanded with an addition 15. Splendid.
