Heart guitarist-vocalist Nancy Wilson’s new single, a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising,” came out yesterday and it’s available to stream or buy on various sites. It’s a preview of a solo album she plans to release in early 2021 on her own Carry On Music label.
I dropped by the Reckless Records in downtown Chicago this morning and was able to buy all three of my top choices for RSD Drop 3. I was so thrilled I’ve spent the entire day bar-hopping to celebrate. Not really, but I am happy to add Out To Get You! Live 1977 by Cheap Trick; Metamorphosis by The Rolling Stones; and A Quick Live One by The Who to my limited-edition vinyl collection. The Cheap Trick double LP came with an MP3 download card, which is always a great bonus. I wish all the Record Store Day releases had those.
On a non-RSD note, I also picked up the new Made Of Rain CD by The Psychedelic Furs at Reckless Records. Always be sure to support your local record store.

As reported on the Yahoo Entertainment and Consequence Of Sound websites, Tegan and Sara’s popular memoir High School is being developed into a television series. It will be set in the 1990s.
Congratulations are in order for Henry Diltz. He’ll receive the International Photography Hall Of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award on October 30. Graham Nash, who was first photographed by Diltz as a member of The Hollies and quite a few times later as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, will offer a special introduction. Diltz created some of rock and roll’s iconic album cover images, including the Crosby, Stills and Nash debut and Morrison Hotel for The Doors. His limited-edition, 344-page California Dreaming from Genesis Publications Ltd. is by far the most expensive book in my library.
Syd Barrett fans will want to check out a new book titled Barrett - The Definitive Visual Companion, which is now available for pre-order from Rocket 88 Publishing. According to the website, this will be the only official Syd Barrett book and will offer previously unseen and rare images, as well as art and photographs by the musician himself.
