Elemental Journey

Storm Corrosion

Heavy Blanket

s/t

Legend has it that J. took a sabbatical in 1984 from his Hardcore band Deep Wound to start something new, something slower, something louder.

Hooking up with Johnny Pancake and Pete Cougar, he formed Heavy Blanket. But before the trio could record any of their music, a series of unfortunate accidents caused the band to split.

In 2011, the trio reunited to tape the album they were destined to record nearly three decades ago.

Dr John

Locked Down

2012 album from the New Orleans legend, produced by Black Keys guitarist and uber-fan Dan Auerbach.

Locked Down distills half a century of this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s picaresque musical history, melding his shamanistic stage persona with the authority of a consummate studio musician, the cosmic conjurer with the street-savvy poet.

George Harrison

Early Takes Vol. One

CD or LP

Early Takes, Vol. 1 rounds up ten of George Harrison’s demos dating from the ‘70s.

The exact dates are fuzzy, as the liner notes are little more than hagiography, but a quick scan of the titles pegs the great bulk of them—six, to be precise—from All Things Must Pass, with two others dating from 1976’s Thirty Three & 1/3 (“Let It Be Me,” “Woman Don’t You Cry for Me), another from Living in the Material World, the 1973 album (“The Light That Has Lighted the World), and, finally, a perfectly fine cover of Dylan’s “Mama, You’ve Been on My Mind.”
