Jakob Dylan releases his debut album Seeing Things in the UK today. Formally of The Wallflowers, Jakob has recorded Seeing Things with producer Rick Rubin, who has added his sparse, threadbare production to Jakob's sombre, reflective songs. If you're a fan of his father, then you'll love this album, but Jakob's music stands up in its own right; his songs are well-crafted, contemporary and contain nice turns of phrases. You can listen to Seeing Things now, for free on We7.
Pacific Ocean Blue was the first solo album to be released by Beach Boys' brother Dennis Wilson. Long regarded by many as his greatest solo album, thirty years ago it enabled Dennis to step out of the shadow cast by his older brother, Brian. At long last, this lost classic has been reissued with bonus tracks and a second CD of rare tracks from his Bambu project. Long time fans and newcomers to Dennis' work will find much to love in this album. Listen for free, now on We7.
Willie Nelson's album Stardust has been reissued with a second disc of bonus material. Originally released in 1978, the album took many of Nelson's traditional country fans by surprise, containing as it did pop standards that he had loved for decades. With Memphis R&B legend Booker T. Jones producing and arranging, the result, Stardust, became a landmark, its appeal spanning generations. The second disc contains more of Willie Nelson's explorations in the Great American Songbook. You can listen to Stardust here, for free.
