New releases for March 2, 2010: Blake Shelton, K.C. Clifford, “Alice in Wonderland” music
For Oklahoma music fans, this week’s new releases offer plenty of reasons to celebrate. Country star Blake Shelton, who was born in Ada and lives in Tishomingo, has his sixth album, “Hillbilly Bone,” out today.
Oklahoma City singer-songwriter K.C. Clifford also has a new album, “Orchid,” available for purchase today.
And Stillwater pop-rockers All-American Rejects are featured on the album “Almost Alice,” a collection of songs inspired by Tim Burton’s film adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland.” Along with the Rejects’ “The Poison,” the soundtrack companion includes tracks from Motion City Soundtrack, Owl City, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and more.
In DVDs, Spike Jonze’s cinematic adaptation of the classic children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” is now in stores.
