Originally released on vinyl for Record Store Day in April 2025, the release in other formats over a month later clarifies how, in more ways than one, Neil Young’s live album with the Chrome Hearts is a mirror image of last year’s studio album with that band.

If Legacy Recordings’ ongoing Miles Davis Bootleg Series has proven anything, it’s that there can never be too much music from Miles Davis. Beyond simply expanding the catalog, these releases provide a rare window into his creative process — revealing how he interacted with musicians, shaped sessions in real time, and continually pushed jazz forward as a living, evolving art form. Each volume gains its power by deepening our understanding of music we already thought we knew, while also uncovering entirely new layers of invention and spontaneity.

The longer the Wood Brothers played at Burlington’s Flynn Theater on the evening of June 11, the more calm and peaceful the room became. And the resulting intimacy grew despite the almost imperceptible increase in intensity over the ninety-plus minutes the trio performed.

One of the hallmark releases of Bob Dylan’s career, Blonde On Blonde (released 6/20/66) is one-third of the history-defining trilogy including 1965’s Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Not only did the two companion pieces set the artistic and cultural terms for the Nobel Laureate’s career for the immediate future—and for many followers right up until today—but the LP following a year later also certified Dylan’s status as a mainstream celebrity.
