Marc-Antoine Moreau, the duo's long-time manager and producer explains: "The original idea was to make two albums: One was going to be a crossover record made in New York City, where Amadou & Mariam have many musical friends and relationships; and the other was to be a more rootsy album recorded in Bamako with mostly African guests and African percussion instead of a drum kit." Both plans came to fruition, but when Amadou & Mariam listened back to the richness of the two sessions, a third way suggested itself: to combine the two recordings in a seamless, organic fashion. The resulting work is an example of how tradition and modernity can work together to generate something new and unique. CHAPTER ONE: December 2010. Amadou & Mariam arrive in New York City with a bunch of guitar-and-vocal song demos. They take up residence in the penthouse of Cooper Square Hotel. It's an ideal base in which to relax and limber up for three weeks of intensive sessions at Downtown Studios, where they are joined by a procession of friends and collaborators. An early arrival is Santigold, a big fan of Amadou & Mariam, who invited the couple to play at her wedding three years earlier. (Sadly, a prior engagement kept them from doing so). This time there were no calendar clashes, and Santigold co-wrote and lent vocals to the trance-like "Dougou Badia." She also brought along Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner, who proved, throughout the session, a fine foil for Amadou's bluesy guitar playing. Then came Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone of TV On The Radio, whose voices flowed effortlessly into "Wily Kitaso." Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, whom Amadou & Mariam memorably supported on a 2007 UK tour, lent his distinctive high voice to the uplifting "Metemeya." The British singer Ebony Bones, whom Amadou & Mariam met on an Africa Express outing, helped create a thrilling mix of Congolese rock ‘n' roll and tribal electronic music on "C'est Pas Facile Pour Les Aigles." Theophilus London, who had remixed the Damon Albarn-produced track "Sabali," from Amadou & Mariam's 2009 album Welcome To Mali, came by to rap on "Nebi Miri." CHAPTER TWO: It might have ended there, but back in the Malian capital of Bamako in the autumn of 2010, Amadou & Mariam took the same bunch of songs into the Manjul studio and re-recorded them, with the same tuning and tempo, in quite a different fashion: with African musicians, including the percussionists Vieux et Boubacar Dembélé on doumdoums and djembes; bassist Yao Dembélé; Bassekou Kouyaté and his hypnotic ngoni; keyboard player Idrissa Soumaoro; and Touareg guest Abdallah Oumbadougou, who added his snaking, desert blues guitar lines to "Bagnale." Into this African musical summit stepped Bertrand Cantat, former singer of the French rock band Noir Desir. His voice, his guitar and harmonica permeate tracks such as "Africa Mon Afrique" and "Mogo." CHAPTER THREE: Paris, 2011. Amadou & Mariam find themselves in their second home with two albums. It is impossible to choose between them, and so the answer becomes obvious: the two belong together in a new and rich musical concoction, ancient and modern; retro and futuristic; organic and electronic. To realize this vision, Marc-Antoine Moreau (friend, manager and producer since the duo's 1998 international debut Sou Ni Tilé) and several skilled mixing engineers are brought in, including Danger Mouse cohort Kennie Takahashi, Renaud Letang, Josh Grant and Antoine Halet. ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Bamako, Mali Band Members: Mariam Doumbia (vocals) and Amadou Bagayoko (guitar, vocals) Singer Mariam Doumbia and guitarist/vocalist Amadou Bagayoko met more than 30 years ago at the Institute for Young Blind People in Bamako, the capital of Mali, and they've been performing as a duo for almost as long. For years, they've been stars in West Africa and in France, where they now have a home. But that turned out to be just the start for them. Following the release of their 2005 Nonesuch debut, Dimanche à Bamako, the middle-aged, married pair was embraced by a new, multi-generational audience in the US and in the UK. They were welcomed at indie rock-leaning festivals like Lollapalooza, Coachella, and Glastonbury and have been asked to tour with such artists as former Blur front-man Damon Albarn, on his itinerant revue, Afrika Express; the Scissor Sisters, on a series of English dates; and Coldplay.

Worth, Detroit, Washington DC, Houston CD 5 Deluxe ($18.98) Deluxe/Limited/Special Edition Details: Deluxe Edition includes 3 bonus tracks & a 16-page booklet Description: Atlantic recording group Halestorm has announced the release of their hugely anticipated new album. The Strange Case Of... arrives in stores and at all DSPs on April 10th. Halestorm started writing for the new record while they were on the road in 2010. Then when the band finished the Uproar Tour in May 2011, they entered the studio with producer Howard Benson (3 Doors Down, Seether, Three Days Grace) and tracked one of the heaviest songs of their career. The album is heralded by the electrifying new single, "Love Bites (So Do I)," impacting now at Rock radio outlets nationwide. The track - as well as "Here's To Us", which was recently featured in Glee's midseason finale, are featured on Halestorm's new EP, Hello, it's Mz. Hyde, which is now available at all leading digital retailers. The Strange Case Of... marks Halestorm's first release since last year's ReAniMate: The CoVeRs eP, which saw the band putting their unique stamp on a diverse collection of classic songs, including tracks by Guns N' Roses, The Beatles, Heart, Temple Of The Dog, Skid Row, and Lady Gaga. Halestorm also unleashed their first-ever live CD/DVD, Live in Philly 2010 featuring such favorites from the band's self-titled debut as "It's Not You," "Familiar Taste of Poison," and the rock radio smash "I Get Off." ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Red Lion, PA Band Members: Lzzy Hale, Josh Smith, Joe Hottinger, Arejay Hale Formed by frontwoman Lzzy Hale and her brother, drummer Arejay Hale, Halestorm has been hailed far and wide as an incendiary new force in modern hard rock. "HALESTORM" made a top 5 debut on SoundScan's "Hard Music" chart upon its 2009 release, simultaneously bursting into the top 40 on the comprehensive Billboard 200. The album subsequently sold more than 300,000 copies, and half a million cumulative tracks. Produced by Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, Flyleaf), the album earned extensive acclaim for its infectious hard rock anthems, sexy hooks, and rough-and-tumble grooves. After scoring two top 10 singles ("I Get Off" and "It's Not You") from their self-titled debut and touring steadily for two years with acts as diverse as Shinedown, Stone Sour, Disturbed, Megadeth, Papa Roach, Godsmack and countless others, Pennsylvania quartet Halestorm are back with their second full-length, The Strange Case of.... Musically diverse and emotionally revealing, the album resonates with a newfound poignancy that takes Halestorm to a new level of creative achievement. Currently poised to embark on a European tour alongside Atlantic's own Shinedown, Halestorm will hit the road hard to support "THE STRANGE CASE OF...," beginning with a major U.S. trek alongside Godsmack and fellow Atlantic recording group Staind. The dates get underway April 13th at Augusta, Georgia's John Paul Jones Arena and then continue through mid-May.

It was Marti Sarbit's voice that immediately captured multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Rusty Matyas's attention at the Cavern, a Winnipeg bar where Sarbit was fronting a Motown cover band and Matyas had come to mix the sound. Matyas, a major label veteran via his band The Waking Eyes and a touring member of Canadian indie rock stalwarts The Weakerthans, knew he wanted to write something for -- or with -- this innately gifted young singer if only to commit her voice to tape and hear what the results might be. The instantly compelling "Say You" was the song they soon whipped up, and one quick listen to what is now Imaginary Cities' dramatic album opener clearly demonstrates what caught Matyas's ear - and what subsequently propelled the duo to the top of Canada's college charts and year-end best-of lists. Though Canadian critics often emphasis the soul-music aspect of the duo, Imaginary Cities utilizes a mixture of musical flavors for a more expansive, often stirring, pop-rock palate, as in the albums' title track "Temporary Resident", or others such as "Don't Cry," or "Hummingbird". They also take an amusing left turn with "Manitoba Bossa Nova," which sounds just like the title suggests. Throughout 2011, Imaginary Cities' debut has gradually been released in various territories outside of Canada, including Europe and Australia, where they toured last year, backed by a band they'd assembled with other Winnipeg-based musician friends. Their reputation grew quickly, appearing in the North by Northeast music festival, winning a Western Canada Music Award for best pop album of the year and were long-listed for the Polaris Prize. They have snagged opening spots with groups like Ra Ra Riot and Besnard Lakes. Most impressively they were invited to join the Pixies on the entire run of their North American tour last year. In a little over a year, Rusty and Marti have evolved from strangers, to a pair of musical allies tinkering in the studio to part of a permanent five-piece band preparing for the U.S release of Temporary resident and subsequent tour dates. Imaginary Cities is proof that sometimes the best creative partnerships are simply destined to be.

Prince Royce once again teams up with legendary and multiple Grammy Award winning producer Sergio George on the production and songwriting for Phase II. ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Bronx, New York Band Members: Prince Royce There are but a handful of young, solo artists who dare to tackle the challenge of performing bachata music at the international level, and even fewer who embody the charisma and talent to make the genre their own. In a relatively short time, Prince Royce has done just that by introducing the genre of bachata to a worldwide mainstream audience, breaking new ground in the Latin music industry and becoming the most successful breakthrough Latin music artist in many years. Prince Royce's self-titled debut album has been certified Triple Platinum by the RIAA (300.000 units) and has garnered four 2012 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, three 2011 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, four 2011 Latin Billboard Awards, four 2011 Premios Juventud Awards, a 2010 Latin GRAMMY® nomination (for Best Tropical Contemporary Album) as well as a 2011 Latin GRAMMY nomination (for Best Urban Song). Furthermore, Prince Royce was the artist with most #1s on Billboard's 2011 Year End Charts with eleven #1s, including: #1 Latin Album of the Year; #1 Hot Latin Song of the Year (for Corazón Sin Cara), #1 Top Latin Artist - Male; and #1 Hot Latin Songwriter of the Year. In the last two years, Prince Royce has had two sold out tours in Europe and two in the United States, the second of which he embarked on alongside Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull.

"I was in limbo, without knowing what to do with myself," he says. It wasn't the first time that fate would intervene in the band's formation. Danny put down the soccer ball and picked up for his father's guitar. "I'm quite an obsessive person. I became kind of addicted," he says. "I used to lock myself away to write songs and record on four-track recorder." Those early years led to the creation of Scars on 45, a quintet from Bradford, England, that combines the gentle melodic intensity of Snow Patrol or Keane with the added allure of co-ed vocals. Tension, often propelled by drummer Chris Durling's insistent beat, builds throughout the songs as the emotional ante rises. Hearts are broken and seldom rendered whole again before new wounds pierce through. Highlights on the group's self-titled debut album include the gracefully propulsive "Heart On Fire," on which Danny and fellow lead vocalist Aimee Driver play out a couple's anguished conversation. "That song came out of nothing," Danny says. "It just seemed to pour straight out. I must have sung it 4,000 times and it feels fresh every time I sing it. I'm sure one day, I'll fully understand it." On the lilting, yet melancholic, "Give Me Something," Danny, his voice vulnerable and aching, searches for some sign--any sign--that there's a reason to believe in a lasting love. "Everyone's been in that situation of wanting someone and it not being reciprocated," he says. "It just rules your entire life." On album opener, the piano-driven, pulsing "Warning Sign," Danny and Aimee's voices weave around each other to create a spellbinding story about trying to fix "the hole inside they will never see." Crunchy guitar riffs lure the listener into "Don't Say," as Danny pleads with a lover not to say "it won't get better." On the stripped bare "Change My Needs," Aimee quietly, but with heartbreaking resignation, wishes she could ask for less, but simply can't. But all of that's getting ahead of the story. After teaching himself guitar, Danny and one of his best mates/fellow footballer, bassist Stu Nichols, began playing together in various bands. "We were awful," Danny laughs, but "we were always passionate about it and had this belief that we'd make it someday." 04/20/12 Old Town Pub Steamboat Springs, CO 04/21/12 The Waiting Room Omaha, NE 04/23/12 The Riot Room Kansas City, MO Soon keyboardist David "Nova" Nowakowski joined the pair and the trio began recording demos and playing live around Leeds. The nascent group ultimately picked the band name Scars on 45, taken from a radio interview that Danny heard with Emmylou Harris, in which she recalled her father telling her as a young girl that she better not get any "scars on his 45s" as she played them. The trio became the axis of the band, with other members coming and going. "We must have been through at least 500 members," Danny says. And then, amid the revolving door, the second serendipitous event occurred that firmly set Scars on 45 on its path. Danny wrote a song that required a female voice. Out of the blue, Nova heard his friend Aimee singing along with the radio to The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love." Although she wasn't a performer and had never sung in public, he was struck by her innocent, sweet voice. "I was just singing along when Nova rushed in seeming really shocked," Aimee recalls. "I thought his dad had a heart attack or something! He made me stand there in his living room and sing another song to him - which was the scariest thing ever at the time. Danny recorded me on one of the songs and it just seemed to work. The next thing I knew I was in the band. When I told my family and friends they were saying, ‘but you can't sing, can you?'" The band, now expanded to a quintet with the addition of Chris on drums, placed songs on A&E's s MARKETING POINTS Press & Publicity: Performing on Jay Leno 3/2/2012 Print features in Billboard and Entertainment Weekly Billboard: Top 3 Singles of the year-Amazon.com Entertainment Weekly's "Must List" VH1 "You Oughta Know" 2012 SoundScan: "Heart on Fire" EP Sales: 281 this week / 5,369 RTD "Heart On Fire" Single Sales: 1,891 TW / 25,370 RTD *Sales bet.

True to form, the project teems with real life and emotion, from longing and struggle to breakthrough and gratitude, with front man Mike Weaver’s forthright songwriting and intimate and unmistakable vocals backed by powerful arrangements and stellar musicianship. It derives its power from the fact that life and music intertwine so fully. “We’ve faced a lot of personal challenges and adversity during the past couple of years,” says Mike, “and coming to the other side of that leaves us with fresh things to share, and I think we can share even more deeply than ever before.” Those challenges—from the fatigue faced at times by musicians who spend much of their time on the road to a devastating fire that swept through guitarist/ producer Jeremy Redmon’s house, and health issues faced by some band members—produced a record that reflects two sides of the Christian life. “You’ve got the ones I term the belly-achers,” says Mike with a laugh. “Those are the hurting songs, which are way outnumbered by what came after that, the songs that say, ‘We can’t wait to worship God because we see even in tragedy, God, you are triumphant.’” ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Nashville, TN & Mobile, AL MARKETING POINTS SoundScan: Have Sold over 520,000 physical albums Big Daddy Weave visited Tanzania in February 2012 with World Vision Info: The Love Come To Life Tour will play to 70 markets by May 2012 DIGITAL SPINS & SALES Online Stats: Nearly 700,000 YouTube Video views Sold more than 620,000 digital tracks 55,000 Facebook Likes ARTIST CATALOG LBL SEL# CFG ARTIST TITLE UPC FER 430040 CD Big Daddy Weave Fields of Grace (06/07/05) 679143004024 FER 887992 CD Big Daddy Weave The Ultimate Collection (09/20/11) © 2012 Warner Elektra Atlantic Corporation | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy SRP One Way 080688799229 $13.98 Last Update: 02/28/12 For the latest up to date info on this release visit WEA.com.

"I traveled so long and got to see so many people and places," he says. "And sharing music with the fans every night got me thinking: The best concerts are when people sing along with me. So for the next one, what kind of songs do I want people singing with me? What kind of songs do I want people dancing to?" Get ready to sing and dance. On Moving Up Living Down, all of Eric's ever-widening musical embraces are brought into play, from the exuberant folk-pop bounce of "Watching You Watch Him" (the first single, which debuted on the season premiere of ABC-TV's "Grey's Anatomy") through the reggae lilt of opener "Talk is Cheap" through the soul grounding of "The Basement." The music is tuneful and rhythmic. The lyrics are engaging and reflective. Comparisons, as always, are tough, but you wouldn't go wrong thinking of a spectrum that includes Paul Simon, the Beatles and Stevie Wonder, all integrated into a truly Hutchinsonian whole. "The album's called Moving Up Living Down because it's about that chutes and ladders lifestyle," he says. "There's no end game. It's about growing pains and I think I've grown a lot, experienced a lot since the first album and this is the next step. Sometimes it can be frustrating, learning on the fly. But it's all worked out really well. Especially as I've made this album I've had time to reflect over what's happened in the last few years. Really inspiring, proud and I feel lucky, which is a word I never got to use before. I feel really lucky." But the journey's hardly over. As the title of one song states, he's "Not There Yet." ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Washington DC Band Members: Eric Hutchinson - vocals, piano, guitar As the Washington, DC-raised singer, pianist and guitarist traveled the world over the course of several years, word of mouth about his irresistible songs and engaging presence brought out consistently growing concert crowds. That helped turn the song "Rock & Roll" into an international hit (certified Gold in the U.S., Platinum in New Zealand, Norway and Australia) and the album hit No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, ultimately selling more than 250,000 copies. The songs "OK, It's Alright With Me" (top 5 on AAA radio) and "Oh!" also caught fire, helping push total single sales past the million mark. Hutchinson has performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He has also been selected as an artist for VH1 "You Oughta Know", AOL "About To Pop", Yahoo! "Who's Next" and MSN "Ones To Watch".

Now, for the first time ever, Gordon has gone through the archives of live recordings from Massey Hall and has picked the finest performances recorded between 1998 - 2001. "The recordings have not been technically altered and are authentic live mixes," says Lightfoot of the album. Fans will hear each song exactly as it was performed that night - no over dubs, no mixing - ALL LIVE. "Gordon Lightfoot has performed at Massey Hall more than any other individual artist in the Halls 117 year history.

The two musicians first met back in 2000, when Mraz was just making his mark on the San Diego coffee house scene. Enthralled by the young songwriter’s free-flowing lyrical mastery, Rivera invited Mraz to join the eponymous trio he fronted alongside his brother Carlos. The group hit the road, travelling California’s highways and byways together in a beat-up Winnebago, inspiring Mraz’s classic song, “Dream Life of Rand McNally.” When Carlos decided to take time off, Jason and Toca continued to collaborate as a duo, earning acclaim and passionate audience responses wherever they performed. Mraz’s guitar and vocals match beautifully with Rivera’s intuitive djembe playing and the two maintain a long friendship and collaborative relationship, recording and touring together to this day. Mraz of course soon became a worldwide superstar, a multi-talented singer/songwriter who made pop history with the sensational single, “I’m Yours.” The track – featured on Jason’s RIAA platinum-certified album, We Sing. We Dance. We Setal Things. – was a momentous #1 smash, earning ASCAP’s 2010 “Song of the Year” award while also setting the record for the longest-running song in the 51-year history of Billboard’s “Hot 100.” Fueled by the success of “I’m Yours,” as well as such singles as “Lucky (Feat. Colbie Caillat),” and “Make It Mine,” We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. proved a global blockbuster, earning multiple platinum certifications in Korea (6x), France (5x), and Indonesia (3x); double platinum certifications in Australia and Canada; and platinum certification in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Thailand, Switzerland, Brazil and the United Kingdom. What’s more, Mraz was honored with a wide array of awards, including 2010 Grammy Awards for both “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” (for “Make It Mine”) and “Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals” (for “Lucky”). In addition, Mraz has been feted with a number of other honors, including the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s esteemed “Hal David Starlight Award,” presented to gifted songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs. A committed activist as well as an artist, in 2009 Mraz was honored alongside Sir Richard Branson by the Environmental Media Association for his impassioned efforts, including his work with the Surfrider Foundation (www.surfrider.org). Mraz is also a vocal human rights advocate, working closely with the organization Free The Slaves (www.freetheslaves.net) to end child slavery around the world, and with the True Colors Fund (www.truecolorsfund.org) to promote the advancement of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality.

ARTIST: Hank III TITLE: Long Gone Daddy Label: CUR/Curb Config & Selection #: CD 79299 Street Date: 04/17/12 Order Due Date: 03/28/12 UPC: 715187929920 Box Count: 30 Unit Per Set: 1 SRP: $13.99 Alphabetize Under: W TRACKS Compact Disc 1 01 02 03 04 05 I'm A Long Gone Daddy - By Hank Williams III Sun Comes Up - By Hank Williams III The Bottle Let Me Down - By Hank Williams III Wreck Of The Old '97 - By Hank Williams III Neath A Cold Gray Tomb Of Stone - By Hank Williams III 06 07 08 09 10 The Wind Blew Cold - By Hank Williams III Good Hearted Woman - By Hank Williams III This Ain't Montgomery - By Hank Williams III What They Want Me To Be - By Hank Williams III If The Shoe Fits (Shuffle Mix) - By Hank Williams III ALBUM FACTS Genre: Country Producers: Produced by Hank III, Joe Funderburk, Chuck Howard, Bob Campbell Smith, David Rorick, Chuck Mead, Tim Lawrence & Joey Allcorn Radio Formats: Servicing full album to Americana, Triple A, College Focus Markets: Los Angeles, New York, Denver, Seattle, Washington DC, Portland, San Francisco, Dallas-Ft Worth, Chicago, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Nashville, Houston, Indianapolis Description: As illustrated by Long Gone Daddy - Curb's new career-spanning sampler of Hank III songs - this third generation Hank has never veered from being fiercely independent while staying true in spirit to the path blazed by his family. “Tidy” is not a word often associated with the against-the-grain work of Hank III, but it’s a fitting way to describe the way Long Gone Daddy packages up a full-bodied sampling of his career, style and influences. This 10-song collection could have been titled “Long Gone Granddaddy” for the shuffling country blues flavor of not just the Hank Williams covers but of much of the batch. Grandpa’s contributions, title track “I’m A Long Gone Daddy” and “Neath A Cold Gray Tomb of Stone,” are complemented by fiddle and steel-drenched songs written by generations he influenced, including Merle Haggard (“The Bottle Let Me Down”), Johnny Cash (“Wreck of the Old 97”) and Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson (“Good Hearted Woman”). The singer-songwriter Hank Williams influenced most – on this record, at least – is Hank III, whose remarkable vocal, including yodeling sendoff on the title track, would have been just right on a circa 1950 Grand Ole Opry or Louisiana Hayride stage. A collection of six previously unreleased recordings and four resurrected from prior releases, the album is an exclamation point on the style and mood of Hank III’s 1999 Risin’ Outlaw breakthrough and acclaimed follow-upLovesick Broke & Driftin’. As “This Ain’t Montgomery,” a lament of the state of modern country, states: “Hank Williams is dead and he ain’t comin’ back here again.” True, of course. But he’d be proud of his grandson. ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Nashville, TN Shelton Hank Williams, better known as Hank III, is an outlaw, a battler of convention. He comes by it naturally: The third generation of Hanks, and the third generation to tilt nobly at country traditions and white-collar establishment sensibilities. After all, this 39-year-old semi-reformed punk-metal drummer is the son of Hank Jr., a blue-collar hero who has difficulty ducking controversy even on something as Richard Nixon and apple pie American as “Monday Night Football.” MARKETING POINTS Info: Online Advertising Campaign Pandora Targeting Country/Alt Country/ Rock Spin.com Last.fm Targeting Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Sr. Facebook Targeting like artists fans OTHER EDITIONS A 79299 Vinyl w/Bonus CD ($21.98) Indie Music Blogs Popmatters, Gorilla vs Bear, Stereokiller, Culture Bully, LA Record, Punk News & more ARTIST CATALOG LBL CUR CUR CUR CUR CUR CUR CUR CUR SEL# 79233 C 78869 79150 C 79027 C 79299 77949 79179 C 78728 CFG CD CD CD CD A CD CD CD ARTIST Hank Williams III Hank Williams III Assjack Hank Williams III Hank III Hank Williams Iii Hank Williams III Hank Williams III TITLE Hillbilly Joker (05/17/11) Straight To Hell (2CD) (02/28/06) Assjack (08/04/09) Damn Right Rebel Proud (10/21/08) Long Gone Daddy (Vinyl w/Bonus CD) (04/17/12) Risin' Outlaw (09/03/99) Rebel Within (05/25/10) Lovesick, Broke & Driftin' (01/29/02) © 2012 Warner Elektra Atlantic Corporation | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy UPC 715187923324 715187886926 715187915022 715187902725 715187929913 715187794924 715187917927 715187872820 SRP $18.98 $18.98 $13.98 $13.98 $21.98 $9.99 $13.98 $9.99
