NEW ALBUMS

THE HOLD STEADY – OPEN DOOR POLICY

There was a 5½ gap between The Hold Steady‘s Teeth Dreams and 2019’s Thrashing Thru the Passion. Much to the delight of fans, this is the quickest turnaround time between albums since The Hold Steady’s first two albums. Open Door Policy delivers more of what fans have come to love. The rock, the stories, and Craig Finn’s acquired-taste vocal delivery.

DAMON JOHNSON & THE GET READY – BATTLE LESSONS

Damon Johnson has been making music for over 30 years, but only sporadically on his own. You’ve definitely heard his work with Brother Cane (“Got No Shame”, “And Fools Shine On”), and perhaps his co-written songs with Stevie Nicks, Sammy Hagar, Queensryche, Alice Cooper, etc. Battle Lessons is his fourth solo album, and first with backing band The Get Ready.
