Norah Jones is to release her fourth album this November. Norah has suggested that this album will have a somewhat different sound to previous efforts, after she collaborated with the likes of Ryan Adams, Okkervil River's Will Sheff, and Jess Harris. The album was produced by Jacquire King, who has also produced for Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse.
Kiss are to follow in the footsteps of other veteran rockers like Journey and Foreigner by releasing their new album 'Sonic Boom' exclusively through Wal-Mart in the U.S. The release is a three disc set, which includes a CD of 'Kiss Klassics', and a DVD of Kiss performing live in Buenos Aires, as well as the new album itself, their first since 1999's 'Psycho Circus'. Gene Simmons describes 'Sonic Boom' as 'the best new record we've done since "Destroyer"'.
California blues and country man Seasick Steve is to follow last year's 'I Started out With Nothing and Still Most of it Left', with a new album, entitled 'Man From Another Time', due for release on Friday October 16th.
