To debate whether or not Green Day truly was or is a punk band in the purest definition of the punk ethic now seems irrelevant. If nothing else, they're a pop band who can't seem to help but write good songs–in the case of „Warning“, some really good songs. This album makes up for any missteps the band may have taken since the fluke success of „Dookie“. From the Katrina And The Waves groove of "Castaway" to the Beatles-esque harmonica on "Hold On," „Warning“ inspires a sense of musical deja vu that never crosses the line into out-and-out thievery. Hands-down, the most interesting track here is "Misery," which struts along with Doors-like quirkiness and goes through a progression of cultural movements that take instrumental turns in the form of deep strings, mariachi brass, and acoustic guitar melodies. If there's a warning to be found here, it's that Green Day has become a real band. Not very punk of them, but promising all the same.

Fire It Up is American musician Rick James' third studio album, originally released on the Motown sub-label Gordy Records. Includes the hit singles "Fire it up", "Love Gun", and "Come into My Life". Rick James's third album in 18 months may have spread the funk a little thin (or saturated the market), since Fire It Up was not as effective as his first two efforts. The usual mix of rock and R&B had some disco added, which dulled the music's edge and made it more formulaic. At the same time, James's single-entendre come ons, notably the album's biggest single, "Love Gun," were beginning to sound less provocative than just smutty. James had all the weapons for success in his arsenal, but he hadn't yet figured out a unified plan of attack, and Fire It Up was a holding action.

Come Get It! album for sale by Rick James was released Feb 10, 1992 on the Gordy label. Rick James's first album holds up remarkably well decades after its release. While many funk and R&B releases from the late 1970s don't translate very well, due to dated production or concessions to disco (there are a few of those here), Come Get It is sly, fun, buoyant, and most importantly well written. Come Get It! James's first R&B hit, 'You and I,' with its meticulously tight groove, is one of the highlights here, as is 'Mary Jane,' the artist's smooth and breezy ode to reefer. Come With help from the Stone City Band, James's funk is both cosmic and primal, but it seems no accident that Come Get It was released on Motown: the album has the smart production and clean, crisp sonics associated with the label. In short, James started building his distinctive brand of smart, sassy music on Come Get It, laying the foundations of a style he would perfect over the next several years.

Echo-jazz-award winner Heiko Fischer is back with a new band, new album and new sound. Since his last work "Gateway", the Wahlhamburger has left three years to research and to adjust itself. An album has emerged, which is new in its actuality, depth and its own sound. The studied physicist tries to find out what music and physics have in common, and what is perhaps also the difference between them, in "General Relativity". The album is inspired by the sound aesthetics of modern indie artists such as James Blake: Fischer has compared the sound of an acoustic jazz band with an electronic sound component, which is based on the modernity of modern indie / electric productions. If that is not a claim.

No one lives forever. The only thing we're promised in this life is for it to be over. When my time on this earth is finished, I hope to be satisfied by the successes I created for myself by working hard and not missing chances when they came. The last thing I'd want to be left with is, "why didn't I?" I'm a firm believer that hard work pays off and I find a fellow champion of that philosophy in rising country music star Granger Smith with the release of his newest studio album, When The Good Guys Win.

When country music superstar Kenny Chesney pulled out some tapes to listen to his last 10 years of shows, he immediately wanted to share all these moments with the people who inspire him – and who took the songs to a whole other level out on the road. The result is Live In No Shoes Nation, a 2CD live album which spans a decade. The double album showcases the high velocity good feelings that have defined Chesney’s work. Stadium shows, pop-up bar gigs, amphitheatres, and the occasional beach takeover; it’s all here. It also features appearances by his friends, co-writers and tour-mates, ranging from Eric Church, Mac McAnally, David Lee Murphy, Old Dominion, Grace Potter, Taylor Swift and the Zac Brown Band.

This historic live event honored the songs of one of the most beloved musical heroes of our time, featuring a multi-generational who's-who of country greats including Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Lady Antebellum, Reba McIntire, Willie Nelson, Darius Rucker, Hank Williams Jr, and many more. The album showcases Kristofferson's singular status as one of music's great storytellers and an enduring favorite for performers to interpret.
