VARIOUS ARTISTS - ROCK AND ROLL DOCTOR - LOWELL GEORGE TRIBUTE ALBUM

  • Various Artists: Rock And Roll Doctor - Lowell George Tribute Album
        (2026, 2lp, --, omnivore recordings)

Omnivore Records released a 2 LP vinyl version of the 1997 "Rock And Roll Doctor - Lowell George Tribute Album" CD.
If my info is correct the album will also get a CD re-issue, and it will be made available on digital musical platforms as well.

Listen to the below YouTube clip.
Goosebumps.



FUTURE OF BAD MEN, A MELVINS TRIBUTE

The album got released a couple of years already, but one of the tracks on the digital download got a makeover.

The message from Wax Donut Records:
One of the tracks on our Melvins tribute has been updated with a new mix. More specifically, Night Goat, as performed by Doctor Monster (yours truly on vox), has an alternate vocal take. Is it better? Is it worse? Is it of no appreciable consequence? Only you can decide! It’s waiting for you here:

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND - MARCH 20, 2026 - THE BEACON THEATRE

Nugs net keeps making these incredible concert recordings available...
I recently got hold of the March 20, 2026 Beacon Theatre concert by the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

https://www.nugs.net/tedeschi-trucks-band-concerts-live-downloads-in-mp3-flac-or-online-music-streaming-1/

Wonderful.


I do hope that the March 13 concert, during which the band performed Frank Zappa's 'Willie The Pimp', and with Derek Trucks playing Frank's SG guitar, will also be released one day.


PRINCE - WITH THIS TEAR

Prince's NPG Records Release Previously Unreleased Vault Single “With This Tear”.

'With This Tear' is a previously unreleased studio recording from Prince’s legendary vault. Recorded in November 1991 at Paisley Park, the track has been newly mixed and mastered by GRAMMY-nominated engineer/producer Chris James, a longtime Prince collaborator (HITnRUN Phase Two, Art Official Age, Plectrumelectrum) and features Prince producing, arranging, composing, and performing all instrumentation. Shortly after its creation, Prince offered the song to CĂ©line Dion, who recorded her own version in 1992. This track is the beginning of a number of unreleased Prince recordings scheduled for release this year, as part of a never before released Prince album project.
