This Week's Interesting Music Releases - May 20, 2014
Haley Bonar's album Last War is my favorite new music this week.
I can also recommend Alana Amram and The Rough Gems' Spring River and Jolie Holland's Wine Dark Sea.
Reissues include a remastered and expanded edition of Oasis' Definitely Maybe, vinyl edition of The Cramps' Flamejob album and R.E.M.'s Unplugged 1991/2001: The Complete Sessions.
