The debut self-titled Pretenders album is 40 years old today! One of the great debut albums, by one of the great female vocal rock acts. Includes the singles Stop Your Sobbing, Kid and Brass in Pocket. Catchy riffs and melodies, and makes you want to listen all over again. thepretenders.com

The 1970 Frank Sinatra LP Watertown is a concept album telling the story of a man’s disbelief in his wife leaving him. The LP was the only Sinatra release voiced over pre-recorded orchestral tracks. It received mixed critical reviews and poor sales, and his only major LP not to make Billboard 100…I loved it!

The new Eminem album Revival has received mixed reviews from critics, and I have to agree with many of the comments, negative and positive. However, Marshall Mathers is a talented fella, and it’s great to hear new material. How would you describe Eminem and his music in 5 words? eminem.com
