A Week of Amazing Music Releases

If you are a music lover, or if you have a music lover on your holiday gift list, this is your week.  You can get a lot of holiday shopping done starting today.  And it seems that there is something for everybody.

Do you love Bruce Springsteen?  Today is the day that Bruce releases The Ties That Bind, The River Collection.  I caught some of the documentary that goes with the release last week on HBO.  It was pretty darn good.  Dead Heads like me will want the latest from Dick's Picks.  There's an awesome Allman Brothers deluxe reissue.  Roger Waters The Wall is in stores today.  We've been talking about that release for  months now.  Van Morrison fans will love the new set of his early releases.

Love vinyl?  More Rush vinyl is available today.  A great vinyl box set from Cream is out today, too.  There are also releases today from Ringo Starr, an expanded Fleetwood Mac reissue, and something for Roy Orbison fans.  It looks like holiday shopping and listening just got better.  Here are today's music releases.
