New releases for Oct. 27, 2009
Halloween is almost here, so naturally the number of Christmas-related releases is beginning to increase, a trend that will only intensify as the holiday shopping season heats up.
Sting pays tribute to winter with his collection of songs, carols and lullabies “If On A Winter’s Night …” Taylor Swift and U2 have special editions of their hit albums out in time for seasonal giving.
Also in new CDs, The Swell Season, the Oscar-winning duo behind the film and soundtrack to “Once,” release their second album. And Grammy-nominated country singer Joe Nichols has his new record, “Old Things New,” out this week; I’ll have an interview with Nichols next week, when he’s playing Oklahoma City’s Wormy Dog Saloon.
In DVDs, the next installment of the wildly popular Disney Fairies series, “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” is out, and I’ll have a review and interview with the director and producer soon. Another family-friendly new release is “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.” Also, Woody Allen’s latest film, “Whatever Works,” and the horror film “Orphan,” are new on DVD.
In books, titles from Anne Rice, Emeril Lagasse, Robert Jordan, Phil Mickelson and Hulk Hogan are out this week.
