Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

7 Worlds Collide7 Worlds Collide’s Sun Came Out is a unique album, a project by Neil Finn with original songs written and performed by Finn, Jeff Tweedy, Johnny Marr, KT Tunstall and others.

The Avett Brothers’ I and Love and You is one of the year’s musical highlights for me, I can’t recommend this disc enough.

Other releases I can recommend this week include Cymbals Eat Guitars’ Why There Are Mountains (which finally gets a label release), Ghostface Killah’s Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry, Hope Sandoval’s Through The Devil Softly, Karen O’s Where The Wild Things Are Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Original Songs By Karen O And The Kids, Langhorne Slim’s Be Set Free, Princeton’s Cocoon of Love, and Richmond Fontaine’s We Used to Think the Freeway Sounded Like a River.

Genesis Live 1973-2007 is an 8-CD, 3-DVD box set that collects the four (now remastered) live albums the band put out in that period, each with bonus tracks.

Aside from the Genesis live box set, the only reissues worth mentioning this week are two from The Brian Jonestown Massacre (Love EP and This Is Why You Love Me EP) and Matthew Friedberger’s 2006 double solo album, Winter Women/ Holy Ghost Language School.
