Hello again to the
faithful readers of the Midwest
BEAT. I hope you
enjoyed the return of this column last month.
Rest assured, I will be gracing these pages delivering you the
latest and greatest for a long time to come.
With that said, let’s get down to business. MARCH
4
With the album already in stores, George
Strait’s DVD “For the Last Time – Live from the Astrodome” is sure
to be a stunning visual compliment… Sexy rap siren Lil’ Kim delivers “La Bella
Mafia” to store shelves… ‘90s chart toppers
Hootie & The Blowfish return with a self-titled effort.
The legendary Don Was produced their new collection… “The Power To Believe”
will be given to you by King
Crimson. The man who had
us all “proud to be Americans” in the early ‘90s, Lee
Greenwood, attempts to prove that he is “Stronger Than Time”
… Katie Bull has “Conversations With Jokers.”
And the Triple Threat DJ’s prove that they have “Many Styles.” MARCH
11
Originally slated for a February release, blues great Bobby Blue Bland’s new album “Blues At Midnight”
will finally see the light of day… BlackStreet
takes it to “Level II” … Epic will release “The Essential Collections”
from both Sly & The Family
Stone and The Clash, who
will be inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame on March 10… Machine Head will deliver their long awaited new album “Hellalvie”
… Everclear
wanders around in a “Slow Motion Daydream”…
Ani DiFranco attempts to “Evolve”
… and EMI will release Queensryche’s
“Classic
Masters”. MARCH
18
David Darling, who
collaborated with Nikki Sixx
(Motley Crue) on his side project 58,
serves up “The
Tao of the Cello.” The
buzz on this one is strong, and I highly suggest picking it up.
That’s my “sleeper pick” for the month.
After a title change, hed(pe)
will finally deliver “Blackout”…
Concrete Blonde goes “Live
In Brazil”, a 2-CD set… Biohazard
says to “Kill or Be Killed”
… The Allman Brothers Band is
“Hittin’
The Note” …
The Buzzcocks release a
self-titled effort… “Volume II” of the various artist tribute to Led
Zeppelin called, “Pickin’
on Led Zeppelin,” will “ramble on” into record stores…
Want some new DVD’s? Well,
how about eye-friendly music from The
Beatles, Goo Goo Dolls, and
Dave Matthews Band? All
will arrive on the 18th. To
finish off the third Tuesday, we have quite a collection of Rolling
Stones material arriving. The
band themselves has a DVD due out. “For
The Record” is their new feature… complete with female artists
doing acoustic versions of Stones classics, New Licks should be a worthy
tribute to the band… and if you like strings,
The String Quartet will deliver an album which not only pays tribute
to the Stones, but Aerosmith as
well. MARCH
25
To coincide with her engagement at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Celine
Dion shares her “One
Heart” with people who don’t care to share $125 with her for a
ticket to her show… Brian
McKnight makes a “U
Turn” at the end of the month… beer drinker, guitar slinger,
and true American badass George
Thorogood says he’s going to “Ride Til I Die”… “Meteora”
is the new one from Linkin Park…
and to finish things off, Ringo
Starr
That’s all I have, folks. Tune
in next month to find out the scoop on albums from the White Stripes, “American
Idol” lass Kelly Clarkson,
Macy Gray, and Jeff Beck.
As always people, feel free to drop me a line: davegrove@midwestbeat.com Until then…
