Gabe – Joey Ramone, Ya Know? (2012)
Brand new collection of never-before released material from the inimitable Ramones lead vocalist, Joey Ramone. Various guest artists lend their talents to this collection and only enhance a very fine album. Joey always had a weak spot for melodic, harmonic vocals and he tried to incorporate those components as much as possible during his tenure as lead Ramone (most notably on the 1980 Phil Spector-produced End of the Century). He gets his chance to show off his vocal chops on this posthumous release and they sound better than ever. For those who long for the unmistakable vocals of Joey Ramone, take comfort in knowing that there's some new material to enjoy. Oh, and as it the correct protocol for any Ramones album, PLAY IT LOUDLY!!
Taylor – Regina Spektor, What We Saw from the Cheap Seats (2012)
