New albums roundup: Styx, Tommy Keene, Hollis Brown, Marshall Crenshaw, Pocahontas soundtrack

New music heroes and classic rock icons, as well as one of Disney's greatest-ever soundtracks are showcased via recent releases.

Artist: Styx
Title: Live at The Orleans Arena Las Vegas (Eagle Rock Entertainment)
You might like if you enjoy: Styx, Kansas, Tommy Shaw
Tell me more: Just as Rush, and subsequently Kansas have enjoyed a wide-ranging resurgence over the past few years, Styx has experienced a renewal for songs blending virtuoso musicianship, memorable songwriting and arena-worthy dynamics. Live at The Orleans Arena Las Vegas is the perfect audio showcase of Styx's contemporary powers, with the dozen-song set mixing up hits ("Lady," "Renegade," "Come Sail Away") and choice album cuts ("The Grand Illusion," "Suite Madame Blue"). The most memorable selections here are nuanced version of singer-guitarist Tommy Shaw's masterwork "Crystal Ball," and a rocking take on "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)" where Styx is joined by former Eagles lead guitarist Don Felder. Information: eagle-rock.com or styxworld.com.

Artist: Hollis Brown
Title: 3 Shots (Inkind Music)
You might like if you enjoy: Counting Crows, Simon and Garfunkel; Crosby, Stills and Nash
Tell me more: With an artistic spirit that recalls a myriad of roots and folk rock greats, New York-spawned quintet Hollis Brown's 3 Shots rings true via the anthemic "Cathedral," lush "3 Shots," the ambitious "John Wayne" (that grows from an acoustic lament to a roaring rocker over nearly 7-1/2 minutes), Bo Diddley-mining "Rain Dance" and tuneful "Sweet Tooth." The band also joins forces with acclaimed Americana songstress Nikki Lane on the infectious rootsy rocker "Highway 1." Hollis Brown is currently on tour and will open for Counting Crows at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA on Oct. 2 and at Austin City Limits in Texas on Oct. 7; Hollis Brown will also headline at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on Oct. 3.

Artist: Tommy Keene
Title: Laugh in the Dark (Second Motion)
You might like if you enjoy: Matthew Sweet, Marshall Crenshaw, The Replacements
Tell me more: There isn't a clunker anywhere to be found on rocker Tommy Keene's Laugh in the Dark, the latest in a long line of strong discs from the Maryland native. Kicking things off with the driving "Out Of My Mind" and continuing with the romantic "Dear Heloise," Keene's songs cast their spell with a single listen. "Last Of The Twilight Girls" and "Alone in These Modern Times" mine that melody-meets-melancholy rock territory once owned strictly by the Smithereens, while the beautiful "All The Lights Are Alive," spirited Replacements-minded "I Belong To You" and genre-blending "All Gone Away" cast further delight on the singer-guitarist's potent original song craft.  Information: tommykeene.com.

Artist: Marshall Crenshaw
Title: #392: The EP Collection (Red River Entertainment)
You might like if you enjoy: Elvis Costello, Matthew Sweet, Tommy Keene
Tell me more: Singer-songwriter Marshall Crenshaw isn't afraid to mix things up. Evidence the Detroit, Michigan native's excellent new #392: The EP Collection, a 14-track disc that features a dozen songs drawn from his purposeful series of six 10-inch vinyl EPs that the singer-guitarist released between 2013 and 2015, as well as a pair of never-before-heard tracks specifically included in this new set. Crenshaw's wide-ranging approach is to create lush soundscapes that totally support the songs (both his own, or artful remakes). The original "Red Wine" finds Crenshaw's emotive vocal delivery positioned amidst a lush mix highlighted by shimmering guitars and organ, while "Move Now" works as both a hypnotic rocker and compelling glimpse into the modern world. An involving tale of romantic departure is rendered via the jazz-rock nugget "Stranger and Stranger," this featuring Crenshaw's excellent lead guitar work. Must-hear covers include a sparse version of Jeff Lynne's "No Time," a poignant performance of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David classic "(They Long to Be) Close to You" and faithful take of the Bobby Fuller Four's 1965 classic "Never to be Forgotten." Information: marshallcrenshaw.com.

Title: The Legacy Collection: Pocahontas (Walt Disney Records)
You might like if you enjoy: Composer Alan Menken, singer Judy Kuhn
Tell me more: Even when separated from the 1995 animated Disney classic that creatively mixed history and fantasy, The Legacy Collection: Pocahontas soundtrack is a joyful listen. Composer Alan Menken's instrumental score, as well as the songs he composed with lyricist Stephen Schwartz, shine bright more than 20 years after their creation on the newly-issued "The Legacy Collection: Pocahontas." The centerpiece "Colors of the Wind" is one of the decade's best film-related songs (far besting "My Heart Will Go On" from 1997's Titanic), and the new deluxe edition features that gem along with a number of other wonderful songs. Singer Judy Kuhn has a beautiful soprano, as heard on the soaring "Just Around the Riverbend" and dramatic "Epiphany/Savages" which features a mix of solo voices and chorus. A second disc includes some early demos (including the sweet duet "In The Middle of the River" which was not included in the final film). "Pocahontas" received two Academy Awards for its music, including Best Original Score and Best Original Song for "Colors of the Wind." Information: DisneyMusicEmporium.com.

Frank Zappa's "Roxy: The Movie" out on DVD, Blu-ray - October 30, 2015

Whether you are a long-time fan of Frank Zappa - or are just getting to know the groundbreaking artist - here is some pretty exciting news to get the weekend started...

Frank Zappa's 'Roxy: The Movie' to see release on October 30, 2015

Never-before-released concert film featuring Frank Zappa and the Mothers coming to DVD & Blu-ray 


On October 30, Eagle Rock Entertainment and Zappa's Honker Home Video will issue the never-before-released Frank Zappa’s Roxy: The Movie on DVD & Blu-Ray with an exclusive Soundtrack included.
 
A Frank Zappa show goes way beyond a mere concert – it is an experience…a flight of improvisation, musicianship, and cerebral cynicism.  An unparalleled composer and guitarist, Zappa redefined rock n roll paradigms by introducing  into the mix his favorite influences from classical music, jazz, blues, doowop, traditional and non-traditional music.  And he did so with unparalleled humor and audacity.  But it was the music itself that influenced generations of musicians and, quite frankly, blew minds.  Roxy: The Movie, filmed over three nights in December 1973, at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, is a powerful display of this experience, and reveals what made him such a pioneering musical revolutionary.
 
Right from the top of the program, the film exudes the essence of Zappa, as we only see a dark room with a single light, and we hear him commiserating with the audience, as he stalls for time because of technical snafus that would ultimately force the film into hibernation for decades (make that eras in musical terms) while advancement in technology aligned allowing the Zappa Family Trust to bring this project to a patient and deserving audience.  The curtain goes up and the magic unravels to reveal “Cosmic Debris” and we are up and away with one of the most enduring band line-ups under Frank Zappa's leadership.
 
“Frank broke all sound barriers in Music and pushed musical event horizons to educate and entertain his audiences so they could experience real possibilities on a contemporary music stage – all without taking himself seriously.  He always said he had “something for everyone from 8 to 13.”  Being a mom I can tell you, that is when your imagination is wide open and some of those ideas stay fixed and expandable in time and space forever,” says Gail Zappa.
 
 
"I'm beyond thrilled that Roxy The Movie is finally going to be available. It took a herculean effort to bring it to life. So much love, time, energy and attention to detail went into its resurrection. This movie rocks so hard, I think both old and new fans will agree,” says Ahmet Zappa. “Enjoy!"
 
 
Written, directed, conducted & performed by Frank Zappa, as well as originally  produced by him, all these 40 years later Gail Zappa, Ahmet Zappa, and Jeff Stein, bring you now Roxy: The Movie.  Starring Zappa, The Mothers, and the Music and the Musicianship.  The film contains some of Zappa's most challenging instrumentals, expertly executed by himself (lead guitar, vocals),  George Duke (keyboards, synthesizer, vocals), Bruce Fowler (trombone), Napoleon Murphy Brock (flute, tenor saxophone, vocals), Tom Fowler (bass guitar), Ralph Humphrey (drums), Chester Thompson (drums), and Ruth Underwood (percussion).
 
Released just in time for Frank Zappa's favorite holiday, Halloween.  Roxy: The Movie is a stunning homage to one of unpopular music's most fearless musicians.
