Lonesome Crow is the debut album by the German hard rock band Scorpions. It was recorded soon after Scorpions became a fully professional band under the production of Conny Plank, apparently in only six or seven days, and released February 1972 in West Germany as the soundtrack to the German anti-drug movie Das Kalte Paradies, and May 1973 in the United States. It is the band’s only album with lead guitarist Michael Schenker as a full-time member…

In 1982, A TASTE OF HONEY returned with their final album, LADIES OF THE EIGHTIES, produced by Al McKay of Earth, Wind & Fire.

With the promise of more than a dozen live performances – and more than a few surprises – it sounds like Country Music’s Biggest Night will be living up to its name this year. The 49th Annual CMA Awards will take place Wednesday, November 4, live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN. The show will be broadcast live on the ABC Television Network. Returning as co-hosts for the eighth year in a row are country superstars Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley. (The latter ranked #13 on Forbes’ 2015 Country Cash Kings list; Underwood, who took several months off this year to be with her 8-month-old son, finished just below the list’s cutoff.) The hosts have garnered rave reviews from critics and fans alike in past years with their memorable monologues and original songs. In addition to the banter from Underwood and Paisley, fans can look forward to performances from country’s top stars and rising talents. Scheduled performers include Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley with Lindsey Stirling, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Maddie & Tae, Kacey Musgraves, Paisley, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Underwood, and Zac Brown Band.

"Ensemble 415 is a chamber ensemble devoted largely to the performance of Baroque music on period instruments. The numerical reference in the group's name derives from the pitch used for tuning instruments in the Baroque era. In performing chamber music, Ensemble 415 consists of just a few players, but for larger compositions, the number expands to a minimum of 13 and can reach up to as high as 40 performers. The ensemble's repertory has been broad over the years, taking in many Baroque standards by J.S. Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel, as well as lesser known fare by Muffat and others…"

This is the latest album, "Rock Slide," by internationally recognized lap steel guitarist Sterling Koch (pronounced "Cook") from Pottsville, PA. "RockSlide" is the follow up to his previous "Let It Slide" album released in 2013 and "Slide Ruler" album released in 2011 which featured legendary blues bassist Tommy Shannon (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter) and Grammy nominated drummer Chet McCracken (Doobie Brothers). The new album, "RockSlide" includes eight songs, seven originals and one cover, of varying blues/rock styles. The cover song, "Crossfire," is a song originally recorded by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Three of the originals were co-written with South Carolina lyricist Freida Gantt…

If you're a prog fan looking for the cream of the nineties progressive releases then add Poland's Quidam to your list. Influenced by Marillion and Camel, this band elegantly blends harmonies, refined arrangements and diversity of orchestrations (keyboards, cello, flute, oboe, strings). The neo prog style guitar playing is interlaced with haunting flute, cello that evokes depth, female vocals and keyboards that give an orchestral fullness to the music. Their style is a melodic, text-based (female vocals) symphonic rock. The rhythms intensify, the symphonic keyboard textures thicken and the electric guitar plays long melancholic notes. Quidam is certainly the main and most appreciated act to have emerged from this field, with Abraxas and Collage.
