The Battle At Garden’s Gate emerged onto the stage boasting huge theatrical capital, with the band making the most of their social media accounts to promote their much-anticipated second studio album.Upon a first listen, however, although the album may be theatricality and conceptually accomplished, that’s where the good things stop.
This is the biggest week so far this year for new music releases. They always seem to pick up this time of year.
Record Store Day normally would have been this Saturday, but it is not coming until June and July this year. So the labels seem to be emphasizing new music to make up for the delay. All of the albums mentioned here will be released Friday, April 16.
n First up is Tom Pettyâs âFinding Wildflowers.â This single CD or two-LP set on gold vinyl is made up of 16 tracks taken from studio outtakes from the original âWildflowersâ recording sessions from 1992â1994.
