The collection spans four decades of Crue anthems, kicking off with their first global single and MTV video “Live Wire” and winding through the years to 2024’s Top 5 Rock smash “Dogs Of War”. In between are the hits and fan favorites that shaped the rock genre and a generation including “Kickstart My Heart”, “Dr. Feelgood”, “Girls, Girls, Girls”, “Shout at the Devil”, “Smokin’ In The Boys Room”, “Wild Side” and many more.

The reimagined recording, currently nearing 5 Million streams, found its way at #1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock Songs chart marking the first #1 for the song, and to date the official music video featuring Parton, which pays homage to the classic original video for the song from 1985, has received over 1 Million views.

Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist, and best-selling author Josh Ritter’s new album, I Believe in You, My Honeydew, is out today via Thirty Tigers. Stream/purchase the album HERE.
Throughout his decades-long career, Ritter has established himself as “one of the most perceptive artists making music today” (American Songwriter), releasing twelve albums to date and earning the respect of countless music legends, with artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir performing and recording his songs. With the release of I Believe in You, My Honeydew, Ritter shares ten new tracks that further highlight the insightful and engaging artistry he’s celebrated for.
Already receiving critical attention, The Boston Globe hails I Believe in You, My Honeydew as “one of his strongest records to date,” while Americana Highways praises, “one of the most essential voices in American songwriting…The album sparkles with clever turns, rollicking stories, and irresistible hooks—proof that even the weightiest ideas can be entertaining when delivered by a master storyteller.” Glide Magazine adds, “Strange, joyful, patient, curious—these are the qualities that keep Josh Ritter’s songs alive. I Believe in You, My Honeydew is not just another record, but his reminder that creativity, like pleasure, fills all the space we allow it.”
Produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), the album features Ritter alongside his Royal City Band: Kassirer (piano, organ, synthesizer, accordion), Zachariah Hickman (acoustic and electric bass, thumb piano, mandolin), Rich Hinman (guitars, pedal steel, mandolin), and Ray Rizzo (drums, percussion).
In celebration of the new music, Ritter will tour this fall with a mix of solo and full-band performances. Highlights include Los Angeles’ Masonic Lodge, Portland’s The Old Church (two nights), Seattle’s St. Mark’s Cathedral, New York’s Brooklyn Steel, Minneapolis’ Fitzgerald Theater, Philadelphia’s Keswick Theatre, and Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Theatre. He will also return to Boston for his First Annual Homecoming Dance at Citizens House of Blues on November 15. Tickets are available now at www.joshritter.com.
The new album follows Ritter’s 2024 mini-album Heaven, or Someplace as Nice, recorded with legendary jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and his acclaimed 2023 full-length Spectral Lines. Paste praised Ritter as “a more open-hearted version of Leonard Cohen,” while No Depression called Spectral Lines “a hopeful tapestry that encourages listeners to sit with each other in introspection, but not to forget to sing along.”
In addition to music, Ritter is a national best-selling author of two novels: Bright’s Passage (2011) and The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All (2021), which has been optioned for film. The New York Times Book Review’s Stephen King lauded Bright’s Passage as “the work of a gifted novelist.” Most recently, Ritter launched his Substack, Josh Ritter’s Book of Jubilations, a space for reflection and exploration of ideas, stories, and creative moments that continue to shape his artistry.

Following the recent release of her single “Tell Her,” Grammy Award-winning R&B singer and songwriter Ella Mai drops the official music video, directed by Cole Santiago.
The video showcases Mai asserting herself in a variety of playful roles at an office, where we see her reminding her lover who the focus should be on. Ella exudes confidence as she seemingly puts her man in place, making sure he keeps his ex in check. “Tell Her” builds on the excitement of Ella’s return, giving fans both a new single and a visual to match. The track shows her stepping into a new chapter with confidence, while the video adds a creative twist that highlights her style and presence. Together, they set the stage for what’s next from her.
Produced by Mustard, “Tell Her” pairs Ella’s soulful delivery with a smooth, bouncy beat that feels classic and new. At her most confident and direct, she explores the complexities of love in the modern age, navigating trust, loyalty, and clarity in relationships. Both vulnerable and assertive, the song reflects the perspective of a woman who values honesty and emotional clarity, reminding everyone that real love requires openness and consistency.
Platinum recording artist Atlus has announced the release of his debut EP, Secondhand Smoke, on BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, arriving October 10th. The six-song collection marks the next chapter for the viral hitmaker whose career has grown from underground phenom to a billion-plus on-demand streams, four independent studio albums, a platinum single, national touring, and millions of fans across social platforms.
“The songs on Secondhand Smoke are more than just individual tracks; they are chapters from my life,” says Atlus. ”Each one tells a story that I’ve lived through, and it’s my hope that they push somebody out there to keep fighting, dreaming, and that there is something in one of those chapters that helps them keep showing up.”
Pulling back the curtain on his past to forge a new path forward, Secondhand Smoke sees Atlus writing on each track, confronting deeply personal themes, from a turbulent home life and his mother’s resilience, to his sister’s battle with addiction and his own journey with mental health.
“IOD on You” is the second release from the project. The song transforms a family history of addiction into a striking love story. Over an ethereal, dream-like soundscape that builds toward an uplifting crescendo, Atlus revisits past vices of loved ones before revealing the twist: his newest and most consuming addiction is love itself.
“IOD on You” joins the previously released “Devil Ain’t Done” and its official video on the forthcoming project.
Atlus will mark the release of Secondhand Smoke with a special Nashville preview performance on October 9th at Cannery Hall.

Prince’s seventh album, Around The World In A Day, will be reissued as a deluxe edition for its 40th anniversary this fall. The new version will be available on 2 CDs, 3 LPs, a single CD, a single LP, a single LP blue marble 140-gram vinyl, and a single LP picture disc on November 21st via NPG Records and Paisley Park Enterprises, in partnership with Warner Records and Legacy Recordings.
The sets contain audio newly remastered by original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman, with additional mastering by Chris James. The Around The World In A Day Deluxe Edition includes the original album plus an entire bonus disc of extra material. The B-Sides & Bonus Tracks disc features the extended versions of the A & B sides, including the remix of “Paisley Park,” the extended version of “Girl and Hello (Fresh Dance Mix),” the nearly 22-minute 12-inch version of “America” (which makes its debut on CD), and two versions of the 1985 song, “4 The Tears In Your Eyes.”
Around the World In A Day was the second to be credited to Prince and the Revolution. It was released on April 22, 1985, and featured no fewer than four singles. The album saw Prince and the Revolution change musical direction again, experimenting with psychedelic textures, incorporating new instrumentation, and expanding the genres of songs within the album.
In July, the labels released the nearly 22-minute full version of “America” to digital outlets. Originally released in October 1985, “America,” which Prince described as “straightforwardly patriotic,” was the fourth and final single to be taken from Around The World In A Day, released five months earlier. The 12-inch version of the track weighs in at 21 minutes 41 seconds and has been newly remastered in stereo by Bernie Grundman for its first-ever streaming release. The single and album versions of the song were edited down from this epic performance, which was only cut short as the tape ran out.

Psychedelic rock duo SORRYNOTSORRY returns with “Disappear,” an ambient track with cathartic lyrics that get to the core of loss, tumultuous passion, and heartbreak.
The single, which is the final track off their upcoming album The Other Side, out on October 17, will be followed by an official music video featuring a performance by dancer Camilia Araque, directed by Samantha Dagnino. “Disappear” is out now on all digital platforms worldwide.
With hypnotic vocals, fuzzy and ethereal arrangements, and stripped-down production, “Disappear” stands as SORRYNOTSORRY’s most intimate track to date. Written and produced by the duo, the single was mixed by Andres Cottin and mastered by Zach Kornhauser (Portugal. The Man, Sia, Kelly Clarkson). “If you pay close attention, you can hear the emotion in my voice. I didn’t replace the vocals in the studio even though I was sobbing while recording this song,” says vocalist Samantha Dagnino. “I was singing from a broken heart. There’s something about capturing a moment like that, where you are alone in your room with a guitar expressing a deep feeling, you can’t replace or replicate that in a studio or on a computer.” Leaning into themes of yearning and heartache, the track unravels the complicated weight of loss through soul-baring lyrics that feel like free-falling. The production enhances this vulnerability, with Cottin’s guitar work stretching between melancholy and lift, creating a wistful atmosphere before climaxing into a storm of epic, roaring guitars that bring the song to a cathartic close. “Samantha suggested that I record a couple of guitar takes to give the song an arc,” explains Cottin. “My idea was to introduce elements from ambient guitar and make the song feel like it’s growing and add some shimmer.”
SORRYNOTSORRY is a Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock duo formed by Venezuelan artists Samantha Dagnino and Andres Cottin. What began as an impromptu jam session in a Long Island City recording studio quickly evolved into a lasting creative partnership, one defined by spontaneity and authenticity. After stepping away from music for eight years, Dagnino found in Cottin a collaborator who mirrored her experimental instincts and fearless approach to songwriting. Together, they craft music that is intuitive and genre-bending, blending elements of trip hop, indie rock, and electronic into soundscapes that are as vulnerable as they are boundary-pushing. Already earning praise from outlets including EARMILK, glamglare, NYS Music, The Indy Review, and Up To Hear Music, the duo’s forthcoming album, The Other Side, captures the adventurous spirit and soul at the heart of their artistry.
“Disappear” marks a bold and vulnerable milestone for SORRYNOTSORRY, distilling the duo’s signature blend of raw emotion and experimental sound into their most personal work yet. As they continue to carve out their place in the psychedelic rock landscape, The Other Side promises to further showcase their dynamic artistry and vision.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings, the digital deluxe edition of John Prine’s beloved and GRAMMY-nominated album is out today via Oh Boy Records.
The release features five previously unreleased demos and alternate takes, along with the never-before-heard track “Hey Ah Nothin’.” The album is also available on vinyl for the first time ever, newly remastered from the original tapes.
Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings is widely cherished for its warmth, wit, and depth, and this new edition provides an even closer look at one of the most joyful and creatively fertile periods in Prine’s storied career. Stream it here.
Originally released in 1995, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings followed Prine’s Grammy-winning album The Missing Years and further cemented his legacy as one of America’s greatest songwriters. Produced by Howie Epstein of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the album captured Prine at a personal and artistic high, filled with the joy of new love, fatherhood, and unshakable creative chemistry.
Backed by an all-star ensemble including Heartbreakers pianist Benmont Tench and guest vocals from Carlene Carter and Marianne Faithfull, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings is a vibrant showcase of Prine’s unmatched lyrical gifts. The album flows effortlessly from the wry contentment of “Ain’t Hurtin’ Nobody” to the epic storytelling of “Lake Marie,” a song Bob Dylan once cited as one of his favorites.
With its blend of heartfelt ballads, surreal narratives, and playful humor, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings remains one of Prine’s most expansive and beloved works. At 14 tracks and nearly an hour in length, it captures the richness of the midlife experience, honest, relaxed, and fully alive. Thirty years on, this release offers a fresh invitation to revisit an album that continues to comfort, surprise, and inspire.
Additionally, the Prine family will host the fourth annual You Got Gold: Celebrating the Songs of John Prine in Nashville from October 9-12, 2025. This will be the final year for this highly anticipated event and will feature performances at some of the city’s most legendary venues, including the historic Ryman Auditorium (October 10, John Prine’s birthday), The Basement East (October 9), The Bluebird Cafe (October 9), and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater (October 11). Proceeds from the week will benefit The Hello in There Foundation, which the family of John Prine established as a way for his fan network, friends, and family to celebrate his memory and generous spirit through a philanthropic commitment to community care.
