If Europe's 2015 album "War Of Kings" was the album that made the rock world realise what a formidable act Europe had become then "Walk The Earth" is the album that is set to establish the band as one of the most exciting contemporary rock acts of current times.<br/><br/>From the anthemic sound of the opening track "Walk The Earth" - to the heavy vibe that is "Haze", from the instant melody of "Election Day" to the lyrical content of "Kingdom United", "Walk The Earth" is the album that should see Europe rightly acclaimed as a band at the height of their powers. The wonderful melodies and depth of Joey Tempest's vocals along with a powerhouse rhythm section and the guitar playing of John Norum, one of the great underrated guitarists. Norum's guitar playing shines across the record. This is an album that is big in its scope and sound. Much like previous album "War Of Kings", "Walk The Earth" is an album that has instant appeal but is also an album that needs to be lived with, in order to uncover its depth. The album was recorded at famed Abbey Road Studios in London with Grammy winning producer Dave Cobb (Rival Sons, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton).

Evanescence's fjärde album "Synthesis" är ett album med deras populäraste låtar i omarbetade versioner inspelade med symfoniorkester

Världens genom tiderna bästa rockplatta?<br/>50 år efter att Beatles överraskade musikvärlden med denna evigt unga klassiker är det fortfarande många som anser att "Sgt Pepper" håller ställningen i toppen. <br/><br/>Som 50-årspresent till alla musikälskare släpps nu albumet i flera olika versioner: CD, dubbel-CD, vinyl, DL och - inte minst fullmatad en Deluxebox med 4 CD, BR och DVD. Plattan ges ut i en ny fräsch stereomix av Giles Martin. Detta är också första gången som en Beatlesskiva mixats om sedan utgivningen 2003 av "Let It Be. Naked". <br/><br/>Men dessutom kan fantasterna glädjas åt mängder av tidigare outgivna versioner och tagningar av de klassiska låtarna som bonus. På Deluxe-boxen ryms hela tre extra-CD med spännande versioner och nya mixar i såväl stereo som mono. Dessutom ingår singelspåren "Strawberry Fields Forever" och "Penny Lane" som ursprungligen var tänkta att ingå på plattan. På BR och DVD återfinns en ny 5.1 Stereo Mix, en dokumentär, videor och andra godsaker. Och tidlös magisk musik. Årets återutgivning? Utan tvekan.

Elton John har bjudit på många musikaliska ädelstenar genom åren. På den fullmatade dubbelsamlingen "Diamonds" har han samlat 34 av sina allra vackraste poppärlor, från "Your Song" och framåt över hela karriären. Här märks även den inlevelsefulla duetten med George Michael: "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".<br/>Filmen visar innehållet i den större boxen.

It's 2017, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd is reaching unstoppable momentum - the proof is all over his eighth solo album, Lay It On Down. As a renowned hot-rodder, it's apt that Shepherd's musical career has no reverse gear. Awards, acclaim and platinum album sales flash by in a blur, vanishing in the rear-view mirror. For this questing musician, the focus is always the horizon, the next challenge, the new songs, the crowd out front stamping their feet. "We're still breaking new ground, not just repeating ourselves," notes the standard-bearer for modern blues. "Every album is representative of the things that are going on with me right now. Every album is another page in the book."<br/><br/>True to the brief, Lay It On Down is a tracklisting that runs the musical gamut, with songs that will be embraced by Shepherd's long-standing fans, alongside moments that strike out in fresh directions. "There's certain songs on this album that I think have balls and rock pretty hard," he nods. "Like Baby Got Gone, Ride Of Your Life and Down For Love. Those songs have what a lot of people will expect to hear from me and my band. Blazing guitar, rocking grooves, aggressive playing and stuff. But I wanted there to be a variety of textures and grooves and feelings and emotions conveyed through this record. So Nothing But The Night, I don't know what you'd compare that to. It doesn't sound like any other song we've ever recorded. It's a smoky, vibey kind of song."
