Getting your player ready...
White Stripes, “Icky Thump” (Warner Bros.) Early word is all positive, with the Stripes bringing together garage, roots and even Flamenco music.
Brad Paisley, “5th Gear” (Arista) All of Paisley’s buddies are along for the ride – including Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, George Jones and Little Jimmy Dickens – and he even pokes a little fun at people’s Internet-only personalities on “Online.”
Bon Jovi, “Lost Highway” (Mercury Nashville) Jon Bon Jovi calls this “a Bon Jovi record influenced by Nashville.” And to his credit, it doesn’t sound like a cheap, Bon Jovi-goes-country record. But it also is too Bon Jovi to be considered a pure country release.
