The Belle Brigade: “Rusted Wheel” (2011)
Led by harmonizing siblings Barbara and Ethan Gruska, The Belle Brigade debuted in 2011 with an album of self-penned pop songs that may make you think of 1970’s Fleetwood Mac. Or if you’re old enough, the Everly Brothers. Or if you’re young enough, the Avett Brothers–if one of them was a sister.

(Reprinted from Rolling Stone)
Thin Lizzy are set to record their first album in nearly 30 years, and their first without original frontman Phil Lynott, HotPress.com reports. Guitarist Scott Gorham said the group will work with producer Kevin Shirley on the new album, and that recording will likely start next month. “I’ll be going out to Los Angeles at the end of the month to work on some songs with [guitarist] Damon [Johnson] and then I think we will start recording in October in our producer Kevin Shirley’s studio,” Gorham said.
“We are all excited about the new record but especially [vocalist] Ricky [Warwick] and Damon, they just can’t wait to start recording!” said Gorham. “You have got six guys there that are chomping at the bit that can’t wait to get this thing going.”
The current Thin Lizzy lineup includes Gorham, Warwick and Johnson along with founding member Brian Downey, longtime keyboardist Darren Wharton and bassist Marco Mendoza. Lynott died in 1986 at age 36. Thin Lizzy’s last studio album, Thunder and Lightning, was released in 1983.

Justin Hayward: “Broken Dream” (1996)
Angelic-voiced Moody Blues lead vocalist Hayward sets aside his trademark red Gibson electric for some nylon strings on this gorgeous ballad from a 1996 solo album.
The only thing that mars the performance is the apparent absence of a live drummer. Programmed tracks, assuming that’s what he used here, are inexcusable for such an established artist.
Having said that it’s a marvelous song, sung from a wizened perspective, about a midlife crossroads.
