((((( NEW ARRIVALS ))))) Ryan Adams, Beastie Boys, Brian Ferry

RYAN ADAMS Easy Tiger CD
*** "I won't say Adams is the best North American singer-songwriter since Neil Young...but I won't say he isn't, either. What I know is there has never been a Ryan Adams record quite as strong and together as Easy Tiger. The songs themselves are beautiful--the lyrics tightly focused and brief, the feeling one of melancholy calm that will probably be a revelation to fans that remember the old, sometimes angry Ryan Adams." - Stephen King. Yeah, seriously.

BEASTIE BOYS The Mix-Up CD
*** "The first-ever full album of all new instrumental material!"

BRIAN FERRY Dylanesque CD
*** Roxy's top bro sings 11 of Dylan's classics.

GORE GORE GIRLS Get The Gore CD
*** "To appreciate this music, you have to have a streak of wildness, a fierce independence of spirit, and an absolute belief in the unusual, the strange, the unpredictable, the offbeat, and even the generally unacceptable." - HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS.

GRATEFUL DEAD Three From The Vault 2xCD
*** "Long-delayed final installment in the historic From The Vault series. It's a full-concert gem from long-heralded '71 Port Chester, NY, run."

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN The Essential 2xCD
*** "The consummate guitar god! Nearly three hours of music, including works by THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, MILES DAVIS, JACK BRUCE, THE TONY WILLIAMS LIFETIME, SANTANA, CHICK COREA, THE GUITAR TRIO and more."

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, JACO PASTORIUS, & TONY WILLIAMS Trio Of Doom CD
*** "The show you've waited 28 years to get into! Three titans of '70s electric jazz/rock first ever release of their one explosive live show from the historic 1979 Havana Jam in Cuba plus their one subsequent recording session. Liner notes of McLaughlin."

OXBOW The Narcotic Story CD
*** "The sixth chambered installment of a suiciide that plays itself out on the hustings of a substanced and principled addiction to failure while the band plays on." Yes!

PHAROAHE MONCH Desire CD
*** The new and controversial album from the Pharoahe. Featuring ERYKAH BADU, DWELE, and TOWER OF POWER.

SOCIAL DISTORTION Greatest Hits CD
*** Perhaps you've heard of them! Somehow they only came up with 11 tunes from their entire career to highlight.
