Delbert McClinton<\/strong> is a legend among Texas roots-music aficionados \u2013 not only for his amazing longevity, but for his ability to combine country, blues, soul and rock\u2019n\u2019roll as if there were no distinctions between them. A formidable harmonica player long before he started recording as a singer, McClinton performed with legends like Howlin\u2019 Wolf, Jimmy Reid and more. His career began in the late \u201950s, yet it took him nearly two decades to evolve into a bona-fide<\/em> solo artist. His new album, Tall, Dark & Handsome<\/em><\/strong>, is very definitely worth the wait.<\/p>\n Moving on to 2nd August<\/strong>\u2019s goodies, Ty Segall<\/strong> brings us First Taste<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cOur salivating makes it all taste worse,\u201d he croons in the first salvo. He\u2019s talking about us: how we\u2019re the masters of our own destiny, tellers of our own prophecy, makers of our own sickened choices. It\u2019s a warning, but this time the finger is pointing back at him too. He\u2019s one with us. Contradictions are rife. First Taste<\/em> is an introspective set after the extroversions of Freedom\u2019s Goblin<\/em> \u2013 yet somehow just as steeped in party beats, even as Ty trails through his back pages, reflecting on family, re-encountering pasts, anticipating futures. Feeling, like it was the first time, the duplexity of core truths.<\/p>\n Multi platinum-selling Danish rockers Volbeat<\/strong> release their seventh studio album, Rewind, Replay & Rebound<\/em><\/strong>. It builds on the distinct, psychobilly\/punk-tinged rock\u2019n\u2019roll sound they\u2019re known for, while reaching for new creative summits. \u201cThe whole point for us going into the studio is because you still have something to prove \u2013 not just for the fans, but mostly for yourself,<\/em>\u201d says Michael Poulsen (guitar\/vocals). \u201cWe would not be able to do this record if it wasn\u2019t for the work we have done in the past. No matter how old the band gets or how many records we do, there is always going to be that signature sound.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, 50 years after the fact, Creedence Clearwater Revival<\/strong> release the entire 11-song set they performed Live At Woodstock<\/em><\/strong> on 16 August 1969, when they hit peak CCR!<\/p>\n Our album of the week is Guesswork<\/em><\/strong>, on which Lloyd Cole<\/strong> has collaborated with a number of other musicians. Among them are two former bandmates \u2013 guitarist Neil Clark and keyboard player Blair Cowan \u2013 who found themselves working together on an album with Lloyd for the first time since The Commotions\u2019 swansong Mainstream<\/em> in 1987. However, anyone expecting a Commotions sound will be on the wrong tack: Guesswork<\/em> is predominantly an \u2018electronic\u2019 album. Lloyd has fashioned the sound of this album from classic and modern keyboards, modular and drum synthesizers; though guitars, played by both Lloyd and Neil Clark, do feature. Lloyd\u2019s ear for a melody, his lyrical smarts and his unmistakable voice ensure these songs stand shoulder to shoulder with anything he has previously written.<\/p>\n Click an image for more details and to order your copy.
