New and Recently Added Albums
Africa Speaks / Santana

This new energy-infused, full-length album from Santana features the soulful vocals of Afro-Latin singer Buika and was produced by the legendary Rick Rubin. Santana and his eight-piece band (featuring his wife, Cindy Blackman Santana, on drums), convened at Rubin’s Shangri La Studios in Malibu, and in a 10-day period recorded an astonishing number of tracks, many of them in one take. Inspired by the melodies, sounds and rhythms of Africa, Santana has created a truly memorable and powerful experience. 
The Art of Piano Duo Live / Kenny Barron

The works of true artistic masters are things to cherish. When two such masters come together to create, it is truly a moment to behold. Pianists Kenny Barron and Mulgrew Miller have cemented themselves as two of the foremost pianists and song interpreters of the 21st century. In an inspired conception, Barron and Miller were paired in duo performances, one in 2005 and two in 2011, that are presented here as "The Art of Piano Duo – Live."
Fully Loaded: God's Country / Blake Shelton

Two years after releasing "Texoma Shore," Blake Shelton returns with a new album. It includes the CMA Award nominated single "God's Country," as well as the new single "Hell Right."
Who / The Who

"Who" will be released December 6 on Interscope Records. It is the first studio album in over 13 years, produced by Pete Townsend and Dave Sardy (Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, Gorillaz), featuring artwork by Sir Peter Blake (The Beatles' Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band). One of the top three greatest rock legacies in music history, The Who have sold over 100 million records worldwide including 9 US and 10 UK top ten albums and 14 UK top ten singles.
Miracle Pill / Goo Goo Dolls

With over 30 years together as a band, over 12 million albums sold, and 14 number one and Top 10 hits at Hot AC, Miracle Pill finds the band at the top of their game with a collection of songs that are complete with emotion, incredible melodies, and sweeping guitars. The album observes and reflects on our current landscape of instant gratification and relief that everyone seems to be seeking.
9 / Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean releases the follow-up to his "Rearview Town" album. It includes the songs "Blame It On You," "Keeping It Small Again," and "I Don't Drink Anymore."
Christmas Celebration / Jim Brickman

A holiday music celebration featuring America's romantic piano sensation. Jim Brickman has revolutionized the sound of solo piano with his pop-style instrumentals and star-studded vocal collaborations. With four certified gold albums he's sold more than seven million CDs. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Brickman is the host of a weekly syndicated radio show, "Your Weekend with Jim Brickman," airing on 80+ stations across North America.
Everything Hits At Once: The Best Of Spoon / Spoon

Abbey Road: Anniversary Edition / The Beatles

The first time the album has been remixed and presented with additional session recordings and demos. To create the new stereo mixes, Giles Martin and Sam Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios. The deluxe two CD set pairs the new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original eight-track session tapes, with versions taken from the session takes and demo recordings of its seventeen songs, sequenced to match the album's running order.
Cause and Effect / Keane

After seven years, Keane are back with a new studio album. Features the single "The Way I Feel."

The album is a marked departure from 2016's acclaimed "A Sailor's Guide To Earth," which won Best Country Album.

After contributing the song "Sunflower" to the "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" soundtrack, Post Malone returns with his highly awaited fourth album. Along with the single "Circles," there are appearances from Travis Scott, Halsey, Ozzy Osbourne, and more.
