COUNTRY
Alan Jackson
Good Time
With eight of his last 10 albums reaching the #1 position on the Billboard Country charts, Alan Jackson has set the bar high for his latest release. Jackson's 15th studio album features the single "Small Town Southern Man," which is already climbing the charts. Adding some star power to the mix, Track 11 features a duet with Martina McBride.
PUNK/FOLK
Flogging Molly
Float
As one of the most unique bands to ever break onto the scene, Flogging Molly combines traditional punk and alternative with Celtic rock. In their upcoming release, "Float", the band sticks with the style that made them famous, unleashing 11 more tracks that just might leave you tempted to Riverdance.
HIP HOP
Layzie Bone
Thugz Nation
In possibly the most lyrically explicit release in the history of 'Dropping,' Bone Thugs-n-Harmony member Layzie Bone comes at you with his fourth solo release since he saw moderate success with his solo debut, 'Thug by Nature.' The album features a number of unreleased tracks from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's 2X Platinum release, 'Strength & Loyalty.'
METAL/HARDCORE
Our Last Night
The Ghosts Among Us

Through a Dog's Ear: Music to Calm Your Canine Companion, Volume 1
Featuring tracks from Bach, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Schumann, Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven, this compilation of sorts is supposedly music to your dog's ears. Before you write it off as sheer lunacy, consider this: it's been "clinically demonstrated." 85% of household dogs showed signs of calmness after being exposed to the psycho-acoustically designed classical piano arrangements on this CD.
