New and/or Notable Stuff for the week of August 31
This week is full of new stuff and reissues! Stop by
Criminal Records and check out Jenny & Johnny, Sonny & The
Sunsets, Black Crowes, and more! We'll see you at the store! - Emily
CDs:
Jenny & Johnny - I'm Having Fun Now CD/LP+CD (WB)
Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice have been collaborating on and off for
years, each contributing to the other's solo records and live shows, but
with this record they had a different intention: using their two voices
in close harmony and playing practically every instrument themselves.
The result is an eleven-song thirty-five minute blast of whip-smart rock
& roll.
Sonny & The Sunsets - Tomorrow Is Alright CD (Fat Possum)
Vintage-style West Coast pop songs that tell sordid tales of distant travels, heavenly visions and otherworldly despair.
Black Crowes - Croweology 3xLP (Silver Arrow/Megaforce)
Recently released on CD -- now available on vinyl. Double album of acoustic material.

CDs:

appearance from Dinosaur Jr. frontman J Mascis, Sugar explores new
styles beyond the aching, bleak psychedelia of the debut.
