Music DVD & Blu-ray Reviews

The Dream Syndicate, Long Ryders, the Rain Parade, and, of course, the Bangles are here, along with groups you've probably never heard.

Melissa Carper's 'A Very Carper Christmas' is the best Christmas album of 2025, and one of the very best so far in this century.

What might well offer sufficient reason to fork over your money for this expanded edition are the live performances of 'Nebraska'’s songs, which are presented in the same order as on the original album and offered both on CD and as a film on Blu-ray.

There’s not a bad track on the album, which isn’t surprising given how consistently Holzman’s fabled label [Elektra] issued superlative music in its heyday.

This new box includes three CDs, a Blu-ray, and a copiously illustrated hardcover book that features reminiscences by all the group’s members.

The 23-song program mines some of Zappa’s most noteworthy material. He reaches all the way back to 'Freak Out,' the Mothers’ sterling 1966 debut...

The visuals, which are as unusual as the music, contribute to the sense that you’ve entered some sort of LSD dreamworld.

The life of Fanny Mendelssohn, Felix's older sister and an important composer in her own right, springs into color in a recent documentary.

We can argue about the wisdom behind the decisions to induct—or not induct—various artists into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What seems undebatable is whether its annual induction ceremonies have been musically memorable.

A concert pays tribute to Willie Nelson, plus a reissue of Violent Femmes' debut and a new release from the mysterious Catbells.
