Boz Scaggs to make long-awaited album return in October

Singer/guitarist Boz Scaggs will release 'Detour,' which focuses on the Great American Songbook, on October 17 via Concord Records. It is his first new studio album in seven years. The first single is “I’ll Be Long Gone,” a newly arranged take on the fan-favorite track, also on Scaggs' 1969 self-titled debut.

“I had no intention of making a record when I started singing these songs,” Scaggs confesses. “It was all very casual at first, just an opportunity to explore a style of music I’ve always liked, to get together with a friend and play for the sheer joy of it.”

That friend is pianist Seth Asarnow, and their informal sessions together became the heart of Detour. The album started as a series of personal demos for Scaggs to expand his vocal stylings. The result is a mix of the familiar and the obscure that tips its hat to Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Irma Thomas and others. 

“If I look at myself as a musician over the years, I’d have to consider my primary instrument to be my voice,” he says. The veteran musician tackles Allen Toussaint’s “It’s Raining,” “The Very Thought Of You” and he revisited “I’ll Be Long Gone” at the suggestion of pianist Seth Asarnow. “I get a lot of requests for it,” Scaggs explains, “he put together this beautiful arrangement... it ended up falling in perfectly with everything else we did for this album.”

Track listing:

1. It's Raining
2. Angel Eyes
3. Once I Loved
4. The Very Thought of You
5. I'll Be Long Gone
6. Detour Ahead
7. I Could Have Told You
8. The Meaning of the Blues
9. Tomorrow Night
10. Too Late Now
11. We'll Be Together Again

Out Friday: Belinda Carlisle's Classic Pop Covers Album 'Once Upon a Time in California'

Belinda Carlisle - who wowed Coachella Festival crowds last spring with The Go-Go's - releases her ninth solo album and the first devoted solely to cover tunes, 'Once Upon a Time in California' on Friday via Demon Music. 

This thoroughly enchanting collection represents the singer's first full-length studio effort since 2017's 'Wilder Shores' (the Diane Warren-penned 'Kismet' EP arrived in 2023). The 10 tracks on 'Once Upon a Time in California,' primarily spanning 1965-75, were ones that Carlisle listened to on AM pop radio as a young girl in LA and helped inspire her to become a singer. Carlisle owned three of the chosen selections on 7" vinyl singles back then. Astute followers will recognize three covers from prior collections.

For Carlisle's take on the Harry Nilsson hit “One” (a #5 hit for Three Dog Night in 1969), she went for a jazz-styled approach that concludes with manic piano work and said in a press release, "I've never done anything like this before, so I think it might be a surprise for some of my fans." Another Nilsson number, "Everybody's Talkin'," from the "Midnight Cowboy" soundtrack, contains glorious vocals. 

About The Hollies-popularized "The Air That I Breathe" (done with full-bodied vocals on 'California'), Carlisle stated, "this song has always been one of my very favorites growing up. I love the lyrics and the complicated melody. This was on the list I originally made of songs that I wanted to sing if I ever did a cover album. During the pandemic, I started performing karaoke style on my Instagram every Saturday and called it “Saturday Serenades.” This one got such a good response that I thought 'This definitely should be a contender for the album.' I'm so happy with the way it turned out."

Additionally, Carlisle said her upbeat version of The Youngbloods’ “Get Together” was initially lyrically relevant "when it was released during the Vietnam war and it's relevant today with all of the craziness going on in our world. I recorded it firstly because I love it and secondly because I think it is perfect for this time."

Bacharach & David's "Anyone Who Had a Heart," best known for the hit Dionne Warwick rendition, kicks the 'California' album off in fine dramatic fashion. 

Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind," featuring elegant, intricate acoustic guitar, a sublime string section, a sweeping thrust and prominent female backing vocals, is simply gorgeous, bettering the original. 

Another standout here is Leon Russell & Bonnie Bramlett's "Superstar," popularized by The Carpenters. Carlisle's joyous chorus vocal delivery along with a bittersweet melody, is superb.

All told, 'Once Upon a Time in California' is a must-have for fans of Belinda Carlisle's solo career hits like "Heaven is a Place on Earth," "Circle in the Sand," and "I Get Weak." 

Available configurations include CD, vinyl and digital. Order HERE

Out now: John Fogerty re-records his classic tunes on 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years'

John Fogerty, Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and Songwriters Hall of Famer, just put out a new album, 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years' via Concord. 

Arriving as he celebrates his 80th birthday year, the 20-track collection features newly recorded versions of his most beloved songs, all written by Fogerty. 

For the first time in his career, Fogerty fully owns the rights to his CCR catalog. “For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”

In addition to Fogerty's sons, players on the album include esteemed session vets Matt Chamberlain, Bob Glaub, and others. It was mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain in both stereo and Atmos, marking the first time these songs have been available in Atmos.

“Bad Moon Rising,” a focus track, has long been one of Fogerty’s signature songs—and streamed more than one billion times. Listen to “Bad Moon Rising” HERE. Fogerty also unveiled a new music video for “Born On The Bayou.” Watch HERE.

The project is also deeply personal. Inspiration for Legacy began in 2023, when Fogerty achieved a lifelong goal of reclaiming ownership of his publishing after decades of legal battles. Recording the songs anew was his way of not only celebrating that victory, but also creating definitive new versions. “I’m 80 years old,” he says. “I’m giving myself a gift with this album—and I’m giving my fans a gift at the same time.”

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years is available now on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms HERE.

Last week, Fogerty did a iHeartRadio ICONS performance on the Deep Cuts Station, followed by a SiriusXM weekend takeover on the Classic Vinyl channel. Coming up in September, Fogerty will be honored with BMI’s 2025 Troubadour Award. Fogerty will tour throughout the remainder of 2025, including his just-announced return to Mexico City after 20 years.

Bon Jovi revamps '24 album with all-star guests Bruce Springsteen, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, others

Bon Jovi has announced the album FOREVER (LEGENDARY EDITION), released October 24 via Island Records (Pre-order HERE). Lead single "Red, White and Jersey," will be available Friday to stream on all platforms.The album’s collab track with Bruce Springsteen “Hollow Man” is also out Friday.

“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit -- a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE,” said Jon Bon Jovi.

Track listing:
