Vintage Rock Singer-Songwriters Resurface
Suddenly,
out of nowhere, we're getting all these great new albums from some of the most
acclaimed singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. We're talking about people
like Neil Diamond, Steve Winwood, Carly Simon and Van Morrison, who each have released brand
new CDs. Then there's those classic album reissues falling out of
the sky and into our CD players. We gave the new expanded Legacy Edition of

albums of the rock era, a test drive and were quite pleased with the results.
As more new records come to light, the time for singer-songwriters has never
been better. Check out the reviews below, and be sure to stop by the Vintage
Rock Digital Lounge for a taste of these and other new releases.
