Review: Tropical rock and "Island escapism" hero Jimmy Buffett passed away in September, a few weeks after finishing recording on Equal Strain on All Parts, his 32nd and final studio album. As final hurrahs go, it's quietly impressive, with the American singer-songwriter - backed by the Coral Reefer Band and a smattering of high-profile guest performers - delivering a jaunty, All-American blend of horn-sporting blues-rock, psych-country, semi-acoustic sing-alongs and tropical swamp-funk. Highlights include the humid, steel pan-sporting dance-rock of 'My Gummie Just Kicked In' (featuring fellow celebrity stoner and all-round legend Paul McCartney on bass), the fiddle-sporting hoedown that is 'Close Calls', the cheery 'Like My Dog' and Emylou Harris collaboration 'Mozambique'.

Review: This festive season, the soothing and angelic voice of Olivia Newton-John returns with a heartwarming collection of reimagined holiday classics.

A standout moment comes with the new duet of 'O Come, All Ye Faithful', featuring Jane Lynch, adding an extra layer of joy to your celebrations. The album also includes Olivia's signature renditions of 'Silent Night' and 'We Three Kings', reimagined with lush arrangements that highlight her unique voice. With tracks like 'Angels in the Snow' and 'Christmas on My Radio', it perfectly captures the warmth and spirit of the season. Whether playing in the background during holiday gatherings or adding to your collection, it's sure to become a seasonal favorite.
