The Way It Is (Glenn Hughes Album)
''The Way It Is'' is a studio album by former Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Trapeze vocalist/ bassist Glenn Hughes. It was released in 1999 on Nippon Crown, SPV and Shrapnel Records and was Hughes’ sixth solo studio album. History While Hughes' previous album, 1996's ''Addiction'', had a serious, quite dramatic and heavy sound with songs that focused on the turmoil in his life, its follow-up, ''The Way It Is'', has a distinctly lighter tone. The metal edge of ''Addiction'' was replaced with funk-infused one. However, unlike 1995's ''Feel'', which had definite funk, pop and soul sounds, ''The Way It Is'' keeps the hard rock Hughes is best known for. This was Hughes' second album to feature long-time guitarist Jocke 'JJ' Marsh; the two of them worked closely on the album, locking themselves away in Hughes' Los Angeles home in November 1998. The album also features two songs co-written with funk guitarist Stevie Salas and performed by Hughes, Salas and former Guns N' Roses, n ...

The Sheepdogs were the first unsigned band to make the cover of ''Rolling Stone'' and have gone on to a career featuring multi-platinum album sales and four Juno Awards.

Neptune City (album)
''Neptune City'' is an album by Nicole Atkins, released in the U.S. on October 30, 2007 by Columbia Records. The album reached No. 6 on ''Billboard's'' Top Heatseekers chart. Album title Prior to the album's release, Atkins found herself at a bar her family frequented in Neptune City, New Jersey called Bilow's, thinking about what she would title her album. She pondered aloud naming the album Neptune City, almost as a counterbalance to ''Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.'', with encouragement from the bar's patrons. "And I figured Neptune City, too, it seems so ominous," she told the Village Voice. "It sounds like very, you know, aquatic and mysterious." Though several publications have suggested the album's title refers directly to her hometown, the real life Neptune City is a distinct municipality just to the east of Atkins' native Neptune, New Jersey. Critical reception ''Neptune City'' was generally well received by most music critics. Katherine Fulton of Allmusic noticed tha ...
