Reviews: a vastly expanded edition of Eric Clapton's "24 Nights" includes three Blu-rays, plus CDs from Hot Tuna, Marshall Crenshaw, and Delbert McClinton.

Styx singer/keyboardist Lawrence Gowan returned to the Canadian concert scene for a memorable night of hits with his immensely popular solo band, Gowan.

'Bigger Waves' is remarkable because of its cool alt rock/punk blend of energy.

Although 'Smart Heart' is enclosed in decidedly dark, sad hues, it’s worth listening to.

Kaz Bielinski's songs are mostly about love: new love, lost love, forever love, and one-sided love.

'Inward' is one of those albums best described as luxuriously comfortable, which makes it worth your time and attention.

Crushed Out's sound is eccentrically retro yet gorgeously contagious, blending the heady sounds of the '50s and '60s with modern sonic aromas.

'Last of the West Side Cowboys' is simply marvelous. The melody rumbles and rolls along with egregious dynamism, while the rhythm vibrates with a pulsing irresistible pattern. Goddess’ grating voice magnifies the music's electrical sparkle. All these elements combined make it a winner.

This is a beautiful album, full of sumptuous rich melodies laced with exquisite, mellow energy. Reed’s voice is easy to listen to, placid and satisfying. 'If All the World Were Right' is perfect for chilling on a sunny afternoon.

Simply put, this is the best Todd Rundgren album in a very long time.
