…and reasons to make sure that you pick up the Itunes deluxe edition of Lonely Avenue, Ben’s new album with author Nick Hornby, which hits stores next week. After hearing the new album, Ben’s previous work on Way To Normal has been forgiven 🙂

Celebrating 20 Years of Cowboys From Hell: A conversation with Philip Anselmo
I’m pleased to welcome ATV friend Chris Akin back for another post, this time featuring a conversation recorded this past week with Pantera vocalist Philip Anselmo. With the pending release of the 20th anniversary deluxe edition of Cowboys From Hell, the opportunity to speak with Anselmo came around and I knew that Chris would enjoy […]
For Springsteen fans, Christmas comes in November
Leave it to Bruce to make sure that the holidays are just a little bit more special this year with today’s announcement that you can celebrate the legacy of Darkness on The Edge of Town with six (!!!!) discs overflowing with more Darkness related material (three CDs and three DVDs) than we possibly could have […]
A Peculiar Life: The ATV Interview with Richard Page
Life is full of happy accidents — I was in the midst of setting up an interview with Gary Wright via his publicist and mentioned to him that former Mr. Mister vocalist Richard Page (Wright’s current tour mate) had a new solo album out. Wright relayed to his publicist that Richard was willing to speak […]
Good Listening: Bruce Hornsby & The Roanoke Symphony in Salem, 10/9/97
Before I developed my appreciation for the music of the Grateful Dead, I found it hard to understand the tape collectors with hundreds to thousands of hours of Grateful Dead shows. You’d hear them talking about that one version of “Dark Star,” recorded on that one night in Albany. (I’m still fascinated by Grayfolded, the […]
Well alright, Doobie Brothers….
World Gone Crazy sounds like an appropriate album title for the new Doobie Brothers album that will hit the streets on September 28th. Listening to the first single “Nobody,” I think that the world must have gone crazy, because I can’t believe how good this tune sounds! Resurrected from the band’s very first self-titled album […]
DVDs You Probably Need: Nils Lofgren “Cry Tough”
Besides the recent release of Live in Hyde Park, things have been otherwise a bit quiet for Springsteen fans. I’ve been amusing myself, attempting to collect the 2005 Japanese remasters, which are slowly starting to trickle onto the shelves at Half Price Books. So far, I have (at $7.99 a pop) Nebraska, Plugged, Born to […]
I don’t like Mondays…except for this one!
You know what? You’re right. Mondays do suck, except when you get some really good news from J. Geils Band and Rhino Handmade. An expanded reissue of “Live” Full House? Featuring 23 previously unreleased performances? Double disc? Hell yeah! Click here to pre-order your copy now. UPDATE: Arrrrrgh. It looks like this title has been […]
Dire Straits – Alchemy – out next week on DVD and Blu-ray!
The advance word regarding the DVD and Blu-ray release of Dire Strait’s classic concert film Alchemy isn’t completely glowing with praise, but as a previous commenter noted, this release might be worth having for the bonus documentary alone. As a Knopfler nut, it’s a must have for me, although I think I’ll probably opt for […]
Good Listening: Crowded House at the Mermaid Theatre, May 2010
Intriguer is the name of the new album from Crowded House, coming out on July 13th via Fantasy/Rounder. You can pre-order the album now from Amazon for only $13.99, and it comes with a free bonus live DVD, which is a pretty awesome deal for the price! The band is already out playing shows in […]
