Country and Americana

A new collection serves up previously unreleased Bob Dylan material from 1970. Plus, New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno, and 3 Pairs of Boots.

The Band's third album reappears in a 50th anniversary edition that includes a 1971 concert and surround-sound audio.

My annual list of personal favorite studio albums, EPs, live releases, and box sets.

A well-priced box collects Dire Straits' studio albums. Also: Uncle Walt's Band and music from actor Harry Dean Stanton.

With 'The Summer Before The Storm' Grievous Angels have created an album for our times both universal and personal.

A new box offers a comprehensive look at Fleetwood Mac's middle years. Plus, a tip of the hat to the so-called Father of Country Music.

An anthology shows Jerry Jeff Walker had more to offer than "Mr. Bojangles." Plus, a 1970 Jimi Hendrix concert and unjustly overlooked covers from British singer Kevin Rowland.

An anthology of early American folk, country, blues, and gospel answers an obvious question that no one previously asked. Plus, Bee Gees, Johnny Nicholas, and the Flamin' Groovies.

A book documents the history of an influential 1960s British TV music show. Plus, CDs from Solomon Burke, Sensational Country Blues Wonders, Paul Winter, and Felix Hatfield.
