Ann Wilson - Fierce Bliss [2022/FLAC]
Next year will see the 50th Anniversary of Heart, conjuring fond memories of classics like “Barracuda”, “Dog and Butterfly” and “Crazy On You”. Many casual fans of the band would likely not be expecting new music from the band’s lead singer at this stage in 2022, much less a substantial album of quality material that rocks.
Ann Wilson is here to prove otherwise. Her new album “Fierce Bliss” is a startling home run that sees the pioneering rocker excel in songwriting and swagger. As for her voice, it sounds like we’re still in the 70s – she’s lost none of her power or emotive range. Armed with a slew of inspired new original songs and a few choice covers, Wilson succeeds on one track after another. In short, this album is a must-have for fans of any era of the band, particularly those who still want to rock out a bit.
Having a new ace band forming was crucial but Wilson didn’t stop there, inviting in several guest artists from guitarists Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Warren Haynes to singer Vince Gill and many more, resulting in a satisfying musical range.

Phish - New Year's Eve 1995 - Live at Madison Square Garden (3 CD, 2005/FLAC)
New Year's Eve 1995 - Live at Madison Square Garden is a live concert album by American rock band Phish that was released in 2005. The album comprises the band's December 31, 1995 show at Madison Square Garden, named by Rolling Stone as one of the "Greatest Concerts of the '90s".
Fans consider it one of Phish's best shows and the band considers it one of their top five concerts. Following this 1995 show, Phish established a tradition of performing multi-night New Year's shows at Madison Square Garden. The concert includes versions of two songs from The Who's Quadrophenia album, which Phish had covered in its entirety for their 1995 Halloween show, and songs from the band's Gamehendge song cycle.
The album was released on December 20, 2005, to celebrate the show's tenth anniversary and received the Archival Album of the Year award at the 6th Annual Jammy Awards in 2006. The release marked the first time that the song "The Sloth" had been issued on a commercially released Phish recording.

be an extremely positive and fertile market for the music of Jimi
Hendrix. This boxed set contains recordings from two specific tours and
although there is only twelve months between the two sets of concerts
captured here much had happened to Jimi between the two tours.

VA - Ladies Sing The Boss (2022) [FLAC]
As one of rock's most prolific songwriters, Bruce Springsteen has covered a lot of bases, building a catalogue of albums that has seen him deliver stadium rockin' anthems and then switch horses mid-stream and riding solo with noir, character-based long players. In the mid-70s, Bruce's songs started to look at where he fitted in (or not). Much of the public's perception of Bruce is wrapped up in his male persona, singing songs about girls and cars, a hyper masculine image. So, how do women relate to this? Part of the inspiration for this compilation came from seeing the all-female Bruce tribute act the She Street Band at the Clapham Grand in 2019 and experiencing how these songs, which I had known all my life, took on another perspective when seen through the filter of a female protagonist. Includes tracks by the Patty Smith Group, Darlene Love, Deana Carter, Cowboy Junkies, Hem, and others.

Phish - Chicago '94 [6 CD, 2012]

By 1994, Phish was well established as an international touring act and already well known to a growing group of hardcore fans. Amidst a tour packed with highlights - it was this summer that convinced the band to start multi-tracking their live shows - this show was recorded for posterity on 2-track DAT. Lightning rarely strikes twice in the same place but Chicago '94 is an example of just that.
Paul Languedoc's stereo soundboard mixes re-mastered by Fred Kevorkian carry the intensity and intricacy of these special shows to listeners' ears eighteen years later. Chicago '94 contains nearly six hours of music performed at both shows for a total of 43 songs, including material from the UIC soundchecks.
The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed (50th anniversary, 2 x SACD with booklet, 2019) [FLAC]
The Rolling Stones' groundbreaking multi-platinum selling album Let It Bleed was released in late 1969, charting at #1 in the UK and #3 in the US. The Rolling Stones, at this point already a critically and commercially dominant force, composed and recorded their eighth long player (tenth for the U.S.) amidst both geopolitical and personal turmoil. The second of four Rolling Stones albums made with producer Jimmy Miller (Traffic, Blind Faith), Let It Bleed perfectly captures the ominous spirit of the times with "Gimme Shelter", the opening track. The 2019 remaster has been engineered by eleven-time Grammy®-winning mastering engineer Bob Ludwig.
