Big Day For New Releases

The last week in September proved to be a bigger one for new Rock releases than any recent memory, with albums from Neil Young, Eric Clapton, the Doobie Brothers, Ron Wood, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd dropping Tuesday (9/28), along with the DVD set recorded during the Rock Hall Of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts in New York City.  Le Noise features Neil Young working for the first time with producer Daniel Lanois - a collaboration that seems to have been equally rewarding for both (story).  The Clapton studio effort, simply titled Clapton, includes contributions from Steve Winwood, JJ Cale, Derek Trucks and a number of other guests (story). Faces and Rolling Stones veteran Ron Wood released I Feel Like Playing, a surprisingly solid outting given the turmoil in his life (review).  The Rock Hall Of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert DVD has disappointed some critics because of what was left out of it.  The Hall also released its list of nominees for induction in 2011 Tuesday (story).  The absence of the Doobie Brothers on that list prevented the group from having an additional reason to celebrate the  release of its first studio album in more than a decade, World Gone Crazy. Guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd released a concert disc titled Live In Chicago.
