Happy New Year to you!  And, while it is a new year, a few things linger from last year, most notably a rather pithy selection of new release dates during the holidays.  Yet, there are two albums that we'd be remiss if we didn't showcase here so without further ado, let's get to mentioning them!

In Rainbows - Radiohead: This may be somewhat anticlimatic for those of you who took advantage of the UK wunderkind's groundbreaking digital "pay what you wish" experiment earlier last year but, for those of us who still like the feel of a CD in our hands, this release is a big one.  With the album having already graced more than one Top 10 list for 2007, you owe it to yourself to get a hold of this one.  (Editor's Note: If you do have an urge to pick this up, many of the big box retailers, i.e. Target, Circuit City, Best Buy, are offering this for $7.98 this week.  What a steal!)

Elvis: Viva Las Vegas - Elvis Presley: The companion soundtrack to an ABC documentary focusing on the King's Vegas years that aired last September, this release features not only remastered gems from Presley but unique interpretations from artists as diverse as Daughtry, Chris Isaak with Brandi Carlile, and Toby Keith and Joe Perry.  Should be a good one.

That's it for now.  Keep your heads up though.  The next couple months promise to reverse the slow trend with tons of albums dropping soon!  What release date can't you wait to come?
