Sights and Sounds: The Rolling Stones, Matthew Sweet, Jason Falkner

Two fantastic live albums featuring the Rolling Stones, an eagerly-anticipated return from power pop hero Matthew Sweet and an under-the-radar instrumental tribute to The Beatles courtesy of Jason Falkner make for an essential mix of releases available now.

Artist: The Rolling Stones
Title: Ladies & Gentlemen… The Rolling Stones (Eagle Rock Entertainment)
You might like if you enjoy: The Rolling Stones, Mick Taylor
Tell me more: Previously available only as a stand-alone DVD release, it is wonderful that Ladies & Gentlemen… The Rolling Stones is finally available on audio CD and digitally (as an MP3 or via streaming). The 16-track performance captured during the band's four-night stint in Texas during the "Exile On Main Street" tour in 1972 stands as one of the British band's best performances. Indeed, many fans of the Rolling Stones consider the band's late '60s and early '70s material their strongest, and this performance is filled with standout tracks from their catalog delivered with passion and firepower. Listen no further than the wild "Brown Sugar," jaunty "Happy" (love Mick Taylor's guitar work on that one), introspective "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and rowdy "Street Fighting Man." Information: eagle-rock.com.

Artists: Muddy Walters and The Rolling Stones
Title: Checkerboard Lounge: Live Chicago 1981 (Eagle Rock Entertainment)
You might like if you enjoy: The Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters
Tell me more: While the Rolling Stones' 2016 Blue & Lonesome celebrated the band's blues influences, a unique trek to Buddy Guy's intimate club in Chicago in November 1981 showcased a more immersive commemoration of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers' links with blues music. In the middle of the band's ambitious American tour that year (which attracted approximately 3 million concertgoers), the Rolling Stones dropped by the Checkerboard Lounge to see one of the group's most influential heroes, Muddy Waters, perform. It wasn't long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were on stage performing with the legend. The quality is excellent, as are the loose and authentic performances. Standouts abound, with Muddy Waters'  leading the charge on "You Don't Have to Go," members of the Stones joining Waters for animated takes on the bona fide blues classics "Baby Please Don't Go" and "Hoochie Coochie Man," and a true all-star ensemble with Waters and members of the Stones joined by Chicago blues greats Buddy Guy and Junior Wells for a frantic "Got My Mojo Workin'." Information: eagle-rock.com.

Artist: Matthew Sweet
Title: Tomorrow Forever (Honeycomb Hideout/RED)
You might like if you enjoy: Marshall Crenshaw, the Bangles, the Raspberries
Tell me more: Prior to the release of Tomorrow Forever, power pop hero Matthew Sweet had not issued a new studio album since 2011. "Tomorrow Forever" finds Sweet back with a welcome vengeance, bolstered by a marathon-length 17-song collection that fits on a single audio CD disc but comes packaged as a double LP if you purchase it on vinyl. Sweet dealt with a number of life-changing events leading up to the release of Tomorrow Forever (including the death of his mother and a move from Los Angeles to Omaha, Nebraska), and there is a definite depth and purpose to the songs this time around. The driving "Trick," swirling psychedelic-edged "Entangled," tender "You Knew Me" (a beautiful tribute to his mother) and the longing rocker "Bittersweet." In addition to his long-time rhythm section (bassist Paul Chastain and drummer Ric Menck), guests on "Tomorrow Forever" include Debbi Peterson (drummer of the Bangles), Jason Victor (Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3), Gary Louris (the Jayhawks), Val McCallum (Jackson Browne) and keyboardist Rod Argent (of The Zombies). Information: matthewsweet.com.

Artist: Jason Falkner
Title: Bedtime With The Beatles: Instrumental Versions of Classic Beatles Songs (Sony Wonder)
You might like if you enjoy: The Beatles, Laurence Juber
Tell me more: Thanks to Jason Falkner's continuing high-profile role as a touring member of Beck's band and his acclaimed collaboration with R. Stevie Moore earlier this year (Make It Be), now is an excellent time to catch up on Falkner's previous releases. I was recently introduced to Falkner's 2001 release Bedtime With The Beatles, which features 11 instrumental versions of Fab Four classics. The Beatles' time-tested tunes are solid enough to have fueled an endless parade of tributes, but it are Falkner's singularly dazzling talents as multi-instrumentalist and arranger that make these artful versions rank alongside Laurence Juber's fingerstyle guitar recordings as the finest instrumental interpretations of Lennon/McCartney compositions I've heard. A lush "Across The Universe," haunting "I'm Only Sleeping," dreamy baroque take of "Here There And Everywhere" and gentle guitar-meets-keyboards dance of "In My Life" are among my favorites. But the truth is every track on the disc is outstanding. Information: JasonFalkner.net.

New releases provide time machine-worthy ride

From the ’50s rock ‘n’ roll-minded cult classic flick Daddy-O featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and a stunning look back at The Rolling Stones to the final release from power-pop champions The Knack and an ambitious look at the Continental Drifters, July has racked up an eclectic wealth of sonic riches.

Artist: The Rolling Stones
Title: From the Vault – Hyde Park Live 1969 (Eagle Rock Entertainment)
You might like if you enjoy: The Rolling Stones, Mick Taylor, Keith Richards

Tell me more: While the release of The Rolling Stones' From The Vault: The Marquee – Live in 1971 earlier this summer captured the band performing at an intimate club in 1971, the new From the Vault – Hyde Park Live 1969 (available on DVD and Blu-ray) features the same stellar Stones line-up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman in their first public performance together. Captured at London's Hyde Park on July 5, 1969 (and only two days after the death of former Stones guitarist Brian Jones), the concert also marked the Rolling Stones' first full-length concert appearance in two years. From the Vault – Hyde Park Live 1969 is more than a concert, offering up the full 8-song set along with fascinating crowd footage (look closely and you can catch Paul McCartney), interviews with a young Mick Jagger and the debut of young lead guitar great Mick Taylor. A fascinating and essential moment in the Rolling Stones' impressive career.  Information: eagle-rock.com.

DVD Title: Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXXIII (Shout! Factory)
You might like if you enjoy: Mystery Science Theater 3000, Svengoolie

Tell me more: What possible reason would compel any sane person to watch Daddy-O, an awful 1958 movie that somehow tapped into the explosion of early rock 'n' roll and hot rod culture while getting it all horribly wrong. Look no further than the first of four must-see films skewered on the newly-released Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXXIII collection. On Daddy-O, aspiring rock singer Phil "Daddy-O" Sandifer (played by singer-actor Dick Contino) somehow is able to pick up on girls, get pulled into a drug-running scheme and lose his best friend thanks to a solid story that somehow never flies on film. The most noteworthy aspect of the movie itself is that it provided young composer John Williams with his first-ever feature film score, while Joel and his two bots are able to entertain via their sharp-witted zingers and commentary. The other three films that get a well-deserved Satellite of Love treatment include Earth Vs. The Spider, Teen-Age Crime Wave and Agent for H.A.R.M. Information: shoutfactory.com.

Artist: The Knack
Title: Live From the Rock 'n' Roll Fun House (Omnivore Recordings)
You might like if you enjoy: The Knack, Fountains of Wayne

Tell me more: Providing the final chapter in The Knack's long and acclaimed career, 2001's Live from the Rock 'n' Roll Fun House has been lovingly reissued and expanded courtesy of Omnivore Recordings. While the 17-song set includes the Los Angeles-based quartet's biggest hits ("That's What the Little Girls Do," "Good Girls Don't" "My Sharona"), the high-octane performance also shines via career-spanning material including the melodic "Can I Borrow a Kiss," driving "Pop Is Dead" and the set-ending rollicking medley of "Tequila"/"Break On Through." Sadly, Live From the Rock 'n' Roll Fun House would mark The Knack's final release; lead singer-rhythm guitarist Doug Fieger died after a long battle with cancer on Feb. 14, 2010. Information: omnivorerecordings.com.

Artist: Continental Drifters
Title: Drifted: In The Beginning & Beyond (Omnivore Recordings)
You might like if you enjoy: Dawes, the dB's, the Jayhawks

Tell me more: The two-disc Continental Drifters compilation Drifted: In The Beginning & Beyond is astounding, with the Americana-styled collective's early course captured perfectly via a number of sweet demos, alternate tracks, live recordings and more. Featuring a number of talented members over the decade-long history of the group, the far-flung material ranges from the rousing folk rock-tinged "Who We Are, Where We Live" (featuring Vicki Peterson's strong soprano) and Southern rocker "Side Steppin' the Fire" to a freewheeling take on Gram Parsons' "A Song For You" (featuring Peter Holsapple and Susan Cowsill providing lead and harmony vocals) and harmony-filled enthralling take on Neil Young's wonderful "When You Dance I Can Really Love." The one bond that magically binds all the material across the 33-track collection is the strength of song craft and gifted touch used by the musicians to bring these songs to life. Information: omnivorerecordings.com.

Music-minded Gift Guide: Blu-rays, DVDs and albums aplenty

With Christmas and Hanukkah rapidly approaching, you've come to the right place if you are looking for interesting gift ideas for that favorite music fan. I'll have more picks in another column slated to run later this week, but there are more than enough choice releases here to start filling your shopping cart...

Let's kick off with some noteworthy albums and audio box sets.

Artists: Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs

Title: Under the Covers, Vol. 3 (Shout! Factory)

You might like if you enjoy: R.E.M., The Bangles, The English Beat

Tell me more: There have been plenty of musical supergroups over the years ranging from ASIA and Bad Company to the Traveling Wilburys. When it comes to super duos, the unlikely teaming of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs has been equally special. In 2006, Sid and Susie released their musical love letter to the '60s, Under the Covers, Vol. 1, which showcased artful and exuberant versions of some of that decades best songs. With the release of a similarly-minded Under the Covers, Vol. 2 tackling '70s songs in 2009, fans had been hoping for an 1980s-mining disc and it has fully arrived via the 14-track Under the Covers, Vol. 3. Highlights here include a buoyant take on R.E.M.'s "Sitting Still," introspective reworking of the Dave Edmunds fave "Girls Talk" and captivating take on Roxy Music's "More Than This."

The four-disc set features all audio recordings pulled from Humble Pie's four shows played over the course of two consecutive nights at the legendary Fillmore East in May 1971. Highlights include the textured versions of "I Walk On Gilded Splinters" and bone-crunching rocker "I Don't Need No Doctor." Information: http://omnivorerecordings.com.

Artist: Herb Alpert

Title: Steppin' Out

You might like if you enjoy: Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

Tell me more: Looking back at the 1960s, it's easy to believe that seminal rockers such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and the Byrds completely owned the Billboard charts. But artists working outside of rock were also able to make their mark. Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, headed by Los Angeles-born trumpeter Herb Alpert, embarked on a career more than 50 years ago with the success of his 1962 hit "The Lonely Bull." Now the 7-time Grammy-winning artist is back with this unique blend of Latin-tinged pop and jazz courtesy of Steppin' Out. The 16-track disc features choice cuts from his own catalog and the Great American Songbook while he is joined by his wife Grammy-winning singer Lani Hall, as well as keyboardist Bill Cantos, drummer Michael Shapiro, bassist Hussain Jiffry, acoustic guitarist Ramon Stagnaro and a guest turn from lead guitarist Carlos Santana.
