Tuesday Tunes - 3/3/09

New release tunes:

Do you preorder new music or do you wait and buy it at a store on its release day.

I don't usually preorder things. If I buy it at a store on the day it comes out, I can have it now. If you preorder, it still must be shipped.

What's your most anticipated release this year?

The only new release that I know of, that I'd buy, is Gavin Degraw's new album Free. It's supposed to be a back-to-basics sound, which would be very good indeed. I don't know if Pete Yorn is going to get his new album out this year, but if he does that will be on my list too.

Have you ever been so excited about a new release only to have it disappoint you? If so what was it?

I was fairly disappointed in Alison Krauss and Union Station's Lonely Runs Both Ways. They played it too safe on that release.

Have you ever expected the worst of a new release and then were pleasantly surprised when the album was better than expected?

I wasn't sure what to expect from Introducing Joss Stone, but it turned out to be her best yet.
