Jar of Flies
Shop NowComprised of 7 tracks written in 7 days, Jar of Flies is the follow up EP to Alice in Chains’ commercially successful album, Dirt. With acoustic guitars and soft vocals throughout, this EP is a stunningly gorgeous departure from the band’s usual rock-heavy grunge sound. The poignant harmonization by Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell on the track “No Excuses” is even more heartbreakingly sad in light of Staley’s untimely death. Marking the album’s 30th Anniversary this year, Jar of Flies is a timeless masterpiece that will be appreciated for generations to come. Also available on CD.
Tragic Kingdom
Shop NowThe breakout third album from No Doubt, Tragic Kingdom is a fun-filled, ska-infused slice of California Sunshine. Opening the album with the unmistakable horns of "Spiderwebs", track after track is filled with clever lyrics and catchy choruses. The incomparable Gwen Stefani sings, pouts, and shouts through the hit track "I'm Just A Girl", then pivots to quieter sadness in the breakup anthem "Don't Speak". The band's recent headlining shows at Coachella reminded us all that No Doubt has never gone out of style. Also available on CD.
The Greatest Showman Original Soundtrack
Shop NowFrom masterminds Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (who also brought us Dear Evan Hansen) is the euphoric and star-studded soundtrack from the film The Greatest Showman. Featuring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya and more, the songs range from upbeat and empowering, to slow and introspective. Introducing the world to the Keala Settle with the powerhouse track "This Is Me", the song won the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and garnered an Academy Award nomination. Also available on CD.
Traveller
Shop NowHaving written songs for the likes of Adele and Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton stepped into the spotlight with his debut album, Traveller. With roots in Folk and Bluegrass, yet decidedly Country, Traveller came together after the passing of Stapleton’s father and the reflective cross-country journey that followed. Using his unique raspy baritone to belt out songs of regret, love, and loss, Stapleton imbues everything he records with nuance and powerful emotion. Also available on CD.
