YOUR CHANCE TO WIN! Varese Reissues Linda Ronstadt's "Silk Purse"

YOUR CHANCE TO WIN! Varese Reissues Linda Ronstadt's "Silk Purse"

Linda Ronstadt may have gotten down and dirty in the pigpen for the cover of her sophomore solo album, but the alluring music within the record's grooves was indeed far closer to the Silk Purse of its title than to a sow's ear.  The 1970 Nashville-recorded LP, recently reissued on CD by Varese Vintage on the heels of its 2015 Black Friday Record Store Day vinyl release, fused Ronstadt's West Coast sensibilities with an authentic country-and-western vibe.  It's as potent a blend now as it was

WIN! WIN! WIN! Sentimental Journey: Doris Day's "The Love Album" Returns From Varese

When Doris Day sings, the title of one of her signature songs most definitely applies: "It's Magic."  The legendary vocalist, who celebrated her 92nd birthday on April 3, is the subject of a new reissue from Varese Vintage.  The Love Album, recorded over three sessions in May and June 1967, was first issued in the mid-1990s and has seen a couple of previous iterations on CD.  Varese's newly remastered edition adds stunning period photography and updated liner notes for the most compelling
