Dion Celine: The essential 1992-2008 [2 CD]

Bob Dylan - The 1974 Live Recordings, New 431-Track Collection Of The Artist's Arena Performances With The Band, To Be Released Across 27 Discs On Columbia Records / Legacy Recordings, September 20.<br/><br/>Deluxe Box Set Features 417 Previously Unreleased Performances, Newly-Mixed Recordings And Liner Notes by Elizabeth Nelson.<br/><br/>Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release The 1974 Live Recordings on Friday, September 20, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's return to touring that year. Featuring all professionally recorded shows from the artist's 1974 performances backed by The Band, the collection will be available as a deluxe box set across 27 CDs. The 1974 Live Recordings offers fans 417 previously-unreleased Bob Dylan live tracks - including 133 recordings newly mixed from 16-track tape, and every single surviving soundboard recording - along with new liner notes by journalist and critic Elizabeth Nelson. <br/><br/>Bob Dylan's 1974 Tour marked his first time touring live in eight years and reunited him with The Band - who had become widely renowned in their own right since backing the artist nearly a decade earlier. Booked into arenas for the first time ever, Bob Dylan and The Band performed 30 dates in 42 days (often playing two sets per day) before an average audience of 18,500 - helping set a new standard for what rock concerts could look and sound like. And in front of those crowds, they brought an energy that Rolling Stone's Ben Fong-Torres described as "searing and soaring, unified and precise...excellent in itself." Music critic Robert Christgau compared the sound to Bob Dylan "running over his old songs like a truck." <br/><br/>Tour '74 kicked off January 3, 1974, at Chicago Stadium - the largest indoor arena in the world at the time it was built - with a tense and combative rip through ultimate deep-cut "Hero Blues," an acoustic-gone-electric outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan sessions, that he had scarcely performed before - or since. Additional rarities - like a wildly-reinvented "Ballad Of Hollis Brown," "Song to Woody" (not performed since 1962) and Planet Waves outtake "Nobody 'Cept You" - would be well received in the tour's first nights. "We were booed off of every stage in Europe," The Band's Robbie Robertson recalled to Newsweek of their previous run together. "What happened tonight in Chicago is so reassuring for us."<br/><br/>The reception wasn't the only thing that had changed since Bob Dylan and The Band last toured together in 1966. Since then, The Band had released six LPs, played Woodstock and other famous stages, and recorded a series of historic sessions with Bob Dylan - from The Basement Tapes to Planet Waves. For his part, Bob Dylan had effectively retired from the road altogether following a 1966 motorcycle accident, yet was still "widely regarded as the most influential and significant star in the last 10 years of American popular music," according to The New York Times.<br/><br/>Though they might not have known it at the time, Bob Dylan and The Band were at the vanguard of a new era. Tour '74 would help create the template for the major rock tour, and codify many of its shared experiences - from the sight of audiences holding up lighters en masse (as captured in the iconic cover image for Before The Flood), to the bright flash of the house lights during a show's signal moment, in this case their performance of "Like A Rolling Stone." Likewise many songs performed live for the first time on Tour '74 - "All Along The Watchtower," "Forever Young" and the show's eventual opener-and-closer "Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll Go Mine)" - would take on a life of their own.<br/> <br/>At the outset, the 1974 Tour was captured on a stereo soundboard mix, on both 1?4" tape and cassette. By tour's end, Asylum Records' David Geffen had commissioned recordings on multitrack tape, the standard at the time, for eventual release on Before the Flood. The 1974 Live Recordings includes it all - the cassettes and 1/4" tapes, and the shows that were recorded on 16-track tape, newly-mixed for this collection.

Detta är Dylans första studioalbum med nyskrivna låtar på 8 år sedan albumet Tempest som kom 2012.

Bo Kaspers Orkester: Landet vi ärvde 2023 [CD]

Endless Summer Vacation is the eagerly anticipated album from recording artist, songwriter, and trailblazer Miley Cyrus. This collection is Miley's eighth studio album, and the follow up to 2020's album, Plastic Hearts. 2023 finds Miley the strongest and most confident she's ever been, with the music and imagery of Endless Summer Vacation serving as a reflection of that. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced with Kid Harpoon, Greg Kurstin, Mike WiLL Made-It and Tyler Johnson, Miley describes the album as her love letter to LA.

Trippelalbumet Triplicate är en samling med 30 amerikanska låtklassiker skrivna av några av de mest hyllade och inflytelserika amerikanska låtskrivarna. <br/><br/>Fördelade på tre album med undertitlarna: "Til The Sun Goes Down", "Devil Dolls" och "Comin' Home Late", visar Triplicate på Dylans unika talang som sångare, arrangör och bandledare. Det 38e studioalbumet är, precis som föregångaren- hyllade "Fallen Angels" (2016), producerat av Jack Frost. <br/><br/>Triplicate spelades in med Dylans turnéband i Hollywoods Capitol studios och består bland annat av låtar från Charles Strouse och Lee Adams ("Once Upon A Time"), Harold Arlen och Ted Koehler ("Stormy Weather"), Harold Hupfield ("As Time Goes By") samt Cy Coleman och Carolyn Leigh ("The Best Is Yet To Come").
