Duwayne Burnside: Acoustic Burnside
by Doug Collette

Chick Corea: The Montreux Years
by Doug Collette
If there is anything more ambitious than curating an extensive, comprehensive collection covering the history of an artist, it is collating selected works which vividly outline a particular timeline or theme.

Creedence Clearwater Revival: At The Royal Albert Hall
by Doug Collette
There is a decidedly celebratory air surrounding the release of Creedence Clearwater Revival's At The The Royal Albert Hall and it is a wholly deserved one.

The Beatles: Get Back
by Doug Collette
The Beatles Get Back Apple2022 Following Thanksgiving weekend 2021's much-ballyhooed Disney+ streaming premiere of Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back, the announcement of its physical release came off slightly anti-climactic.
