New releases: Special Oklahoma Country Music Day edition
As I indicated Monday, it’s a huge week if you’re a country fan from Oklahoma, with three big releases coming out today.
Toby Keith, who was born in Clinton, raised in Moore and lives in Norman, has his new studio album, “That Don’t Make Me a Bad Guy,” hitting today. The album already has scored a No. 1 hit with the embittered ballad “She Never Cried in Front of Me.”
I’ll be reviewing Keith’s latest offering in the coming days, so keep an eye out.
Country trio Rascal Flatts, which includes guitarist Joe Don Rooney of Picher, releases its first compiliation, “Greatest Hits Volume 1″ today.
Reba McEntire, who was born in McAlester and raised in nearby Chockie, comes out today with the huge hits collection, “50 Greatest Hits.”
In honor of these big releases, I’m declaring it Oklahoma Country Music Day here on BAM’s Blog. So, crank a little something with a good drawl and a great beat on your stereo and play it loud and proud.
In the DVD arena, it’s MST3K Week here at the blog in honor of today’s release of the “Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th Anniversary Edition,” or “MST3K 20AE,” as the commemorative box is labeled. Enjoy a bad movie with Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, as well as the host of your particular preference, Joel or Mike. (I’m not going to get into that long-standing debate at this time, fellow MSTies, so don’t even start with me.)
I’ll also be bringing you a review of that limited edition box set in the coming days, so again, be on watch for that.
In the books section, Charles R. Cross, author of the biography ”Heavier Than Heaven: The Biography of Kurt Cobain,” revisits the troubled late Nirvana singer in “Cobain Unseen,” a collection of photographs, facsimiles of journal pages and other personal items, many of them previously unseen, that give insight into the rocker’s too-short life. The books comes with an audio CD of Cobain’s spoken-word material.
Here is the list of this week’s new releases, from Amazon.com, VideoETA.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
