After being away from the music biz for several years, <strong>Damian Marley<\/strong> returns with a homage to <strong><em>Stony Hill<\/em><\/strong>, where he grew up in Jamaica, recorded with his brother Stephen. <strong><em>Defying Gravity<\/em><\/strong> neatly showcases <strong>Mr. Big<\/strong>\u2019s trademark crunch allied to an acute sense of melody that never escapes them; the band\u2019s pursuit of creative excellence shines through. Time to get noisy! Punk-metallers <strong>Tau Cross<\/strong> release their second album, <strong><em>Pillar Of Fire<\/em><\/strong>, a moody melting pot of dark post-punk and anthemic hard rock shot through with 16th-century English mysticism. <strong>Wintersun<\/strong>\u2019s third album, <strong><em>The Forest Seasons<\/em><\/strong>, develops their ability to create otherwordly epic metal; it\u2019s a foray into the world of symphonic metal that oozes bravado throughout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Heaton &amp; Jacqui Abbot<\/strong>\u2019s third album, <strong><em>Crooked Calypso<\/em><\/strong>, boasts all the hallmarks of Heaton\u2019s peerless songwriting: songs buoyant with melody and redolent with biting wit, but also full of real emotion, and that makes it our album of the week.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbs\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_Heaton\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Paul Heaton &amp; Jacqui Abbott - Crooked Calypso\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/Heaton.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Heaton &amp; Jacqui Abbott - Crooked Calypso\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_Kenny\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Lay It On Down\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/Kenny.jpg\" alt=\"Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Lay It On Down\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_CRB\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Barefoot In The Head\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/CRB.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Barefoot In The Head\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_Declan\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Declan McKenna - What Do You Think About The Car?\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/Declan.jpg\" alt=\"Declan McKenna - What Do You Think About The Car?\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_Marley\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Damian Marley - Stony Hill\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/Marley.jpg\" alt=\"Damian Marley - Stony Hill\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_MrBig\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Mr. Big - Defying Gravity\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/MrBig.jpg\" alt=\"Mr. Big - Defying Gravity\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_Tau\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Tau Cross - Pillar Of Fire\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/Tau.jpg\" alt=\"Tau Cross - Pillar Of Fire\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/releases1704.php#r170721_Wintersun\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover4 alignnone\" title=\"Wintersun - The Forest Seasons\" src=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.com\/img\/rls\/170721\/Wintersun.jpg\" alt=\"Wintersun - The Forest Seasons\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Click an image for more details and to order your copy.
