February 2015 New Music Releases
As you might expect for the year's shortest month, the February 2015 New Music Releases list isn't the most voluminous affair -- but there are some real gems to look forward to from heavyweights such as Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan and the Scorpions.
The biggest release -- in terms of anticipation, physical size and price -- has got to be the expanded edition of Led Zeppelin's 1975 double-album masterpiece 'Physical Graffiti.' As was the case with the previous five albums in Jimmy Page's full-catalog Zep overhaul, this one promises upgraded sound, deluxe packaging and a handful of unreleased tracks.
There's also the much-discussed new album of standards made famous by Frank Sinatra coming from Dylan, a documentary about Jeff Beck's early days and new efforts from Kid Rock and the "Wait, I thought they retired ... " Scorpions.
