After searching the 26 pages of upcoming releases for the street date of 9/30/2014, I found it difficult to choose two or three new releases to write about, so this this week I will write just a few facts about all the really big releases. Lets get started ; First is a release by Bryan Adams called Tracks Of My Years Bryan Guy Adams was born in Kingston, Ontario Canada on November 5, 1959 and is best known as a singer-songwriter and has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. Everybody knows his biggest hit ever ( Everything I Do ) I Do It For You, the theme from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Tracks Of My Years is his eleventh studio album and features 10 cover songs and one original, it is his first release since 2008. Next we have a new release by Colbie Caillat called Gypsy Heart Colbie Marie Cailat was born in Malibu, California on May 28,1985. She is a pop singer that plays an acoustic guitar. Growing up in Malibu , tells me she did not grow up in poverty. I visited Mailbu this past summer and our tour guide stated homes in the Malibu ghetto sells for about 2 million. Caillats father was one of the producers of Fleetwood Macs 1977 Rumours album. As a teen she auditioned for American Idol twice and was rejected both times. In 2007, she released her debut album that featured the song Bubbly, it became her signature song and peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Top 100. Gypsy Heart is her fifth studio release and her first to be produced by R&B artist Babyface. Next we have a new release by Melissa Etheridge called This is M.E. 53 year old , Melissa Lou Etheridge is from Leavenworth, Kansas. She is singer-songwriter and guitarist, that broke onto the music scene in 1985 but didnt hit it big until 1993 when she released her fourth album called Yes I Am . During that time she publicly came out as a lesbian and has been an gay rights activist ever since. This is M.E. is her thirteenth studio album and features eleven original songs written or co-written by Etheridge herself. Next another new release by Robin Gibb called 50 St Catherine Drive Robin Hugh Gibb was a founding member of the Bee Gees along with his two brothers, Maurice and Barry. Robin was once described as having one of the best white soul voices of all time. His career lasted for six decades before he passed in May 2012. This album was created by his wife and son and includes the last recordings of Robin Gibb. Robin had been working on this solo project from 2006 -2008 and includes three songs co-written with his son, RJ Gibb. It is named after the address where Robin was born in December of 1949. Next release is by Mr Big called Stories We Could Tell Mr Big was formed in 1988 in Los Angeles, California as an American rock band that features some big names. Eric Martin on vocals, Paul Gilbert on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and Pat Torpey on drums. Like many of the hard rock band of the 80s and 90s their biggest hit was the love ballad, To Be with You . After much tension the band broke up in 2002 and then reunited in 2009. This is eighth studio release. Another two releases this week is by Prince called Art Official Age & Plectrumelectrum Prince Rogers Nelson was born on June 7, 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is known for his love of the color purple, his flamboyant on stage costumes, his incredible guitar playing, his song writing, his singing ability & his acting. He has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, making him one of the best selling artists of all time. His song writing skills has launched the careers of many contemporary artists. As always I must add my opinion on this one, he is an incredibly talented artists but there does run a fine line between genius and complete nut job. Remember when he changed his name to that little symbol ? After researching it I found it was an unpronounceable symbol later called the Love Symbol I like when most of us became feed up with the little symbol and just started reffering to him as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince see what happens when you earn crazy amounts of money. The two albums will be his 33rd and 34th studio releases. How about one more , a new release by Lady Antebellum called 747 Lady Antebellum is country music group that was formed in Nashville,Tennessee in 2006 by Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood. They broke onto the country music scene with their debut album in 2008 where the album debut at number 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Their harmonizing sound has them the jewel of the country music world. All four previous albums have been certified platinum in sales, the only one that didnt achieve that mark was their Christmas album that was released last year. This is their sixth studio release and features eleven new songs along with the newest hit Bartender My goodness will this ever end ? I guess not here is another new release this week by Blake Shelton called Bringing Back The Sunshine Everyone knows Blake Shelton ! They know him as a country music artist and one of the judges on the television hit show The Voice and married to Miranda Lambert but what everyone doesnt know is that his middle name is Tollison. He was born in Ada, Oklahoma on June 18, 1976. He moved to Nashville in 1993 with his older sister so he could get his break into the music industry. It took a little while but by 2001 he had his first record contract. This is his ninth studio release and features twelve new songs, if you can find the deluxe version it contains 3 bonus songs.
