BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Expanded Sessions Set(Posted 3:00 AM, 8/9/2006)
The expanded edition of Bruce Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions will hit stores October 3rd. The C-D/D-V-D package, now subtitled American Land Edition, contains three new songs ("How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live," "Bring 'Em Home" and "American Land"), and the C-D features two tracks ("Buffalo Gals" and "How Can I Keep From Singing") that had only been available on the D-V-D side of the original dual-disc. The D-V-D includes an extended cut of the documentary about recording the album, videos of "American Land" and "Pay Me My Money Down" and concert footage of Springsteen performing two songs with the Seeger Sessions Band. Springsteen fans who already own the dual-disc and don't want to shell out for the new edition will be able to buy the bonus tracks through I-Tunes. --Steve Reynolds
BOB DYLAN: Time to Pick Times(Posted 3:00 AM, 8/9/2006)
Bob Dylan fans have a couple of options to get extra stuff if they pre-order his new album, Modern Times. I-Tunes customers will get the four videos ("Cold Irons Bound" "Blood in My Eyes," "Things Have Changed" and "Love Sick") featured on the deluxe C-D and D-V-D edition plus a bonus video of "Jokerman" and pre-sale passwords for Dylan's fall tour from Ticketmaster. Fans who pre-order through Sony's own music store will receive a sampler disc of Dylan's X-M radio show. Modern Times is in stores August 29th.
Dylan is also following in the footsteps of U-2 by offering a digital box set through I-Tunes. The Collection includes every song on all of his studio albums and The Bootleg Series releases, plus 42 rarities. All told, the set includes nearly 800 tracks. The Collection will be available for 199 bucks starting August 29th. --Steve Reynolds
RONNIE WOOD: Gets Retrospective(Posted 3:00 AM, 8/9/2006)
Guitarist Ronnie Wood gets the retrospective treatment on The Essential Crossexion, a two-disc compilation covering his four-decade career. The 37-song set contains material from Wood's solo career as well as his work in The Faces, The Jeff Beck Group (as a bassist) and The Rolling Stones. Slated for release on September 26th, the album includes a previously unreleased duet with Rod Stewart, "You Strum and I Sing," which was recorded last year. -- David Sprague
JERRY LEE LEWIS: CD Plans Are Set(Posted 3:00 AM, 8/9/2006)
Jerry Lee Lewis's new C-D arrives in stores on September 26th. Last Man Standing grew out of a planned soundtrack to a movie titled Why Men Shouldn't Marry. Given the Killer's numerous divorces, the theme seemed to be a good fit. And though the film was never made, Lewis had recorded a pair of songs for it by the time it was scrapped. Soon those two songs grew into a 21-track project with such guest stars as Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, George Jones, Willie Nelson and Rod Stewart. The C-D will be cross-promoted with a P-B-S Great Performances special that will air in December. --Mike McCann
