Lady Gaga may not be releasing her next studio album until 2011 but she does throw her little monsters a bone today. The eccentric star releases The Remix. Fans will find all their favourites here from Just Dance and Poker Face to Paparazzi and Telephone.
The Black Crowes offer Croweology, a two-CD acoustic album. Its release coincides with the 20th anniversary of the band’s 1990 debut album. There are over 20 songs, personal and fan favourites, from the Crowes’ 20-year run.
Grammy Award-winning band Los Lobos also has a new album out today. Amazon.ca describes Tin Can Trust: "Their first collection of new original material in four years. Featuring powerful rock ‘n’ roll, blistering blues, two Spanish-language tracks, and even a Grateful Dead cover, the album is classic Lobos through and through."
