01GT eibach Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 A couple of recent noteworthy releases ... 1) Sonny Landreth has a new album out called Blacktop Run -- It features some stellar guitar playing and just excellent music (check out the guitar playing, especially, on Groovy Goddess). 2) Def Leppard has a new Early Years 5-CD release -- Typically, anything by Def Leppard is not at all interesting to me. This is different, though. This is a complete re-mastering and extra stuff only related to their often overlooked first two albums. This is the ONLY only Def Leppard era that I ever really liked (Pyromania was okay), but I always hated Hysteria and everything after. This is the era where they were just a hard-working and gritty Les Paul slinging hard rock band from Northern England, a bit reminiscent of Humble Pie. The first three CDs are the most interesting as they include remasters of those two albums plus a 1979 concert -- the only thing for beyond that is the mandatory "Me and My Wine" bonus track from CD 4. For those going to the Motley Crue/Def Leppard stadium tour this summer (if that even happens), they were expected to play a bunch of this early stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
