June 19, 2006

It's a busy week for both Rhino and the Interscope/Geffen group of labels. Interscope has the new Keane album and Geffen has Nelly Furtado's third album, Loose, which will be greatly helped by her hit single “Promiscuous,” as well as the latest album by Field Mob. Furtado should have a huge first week. Counting Crows have a live album coming out on Geffen that probably won't sell as much as Furtado's album.

Rhino has box sets from Gram Parsons and Willy Nelson, plus best of compilations from Old '97s, Paula Cole, Marc Cohn, The Rembrandts and Luna.

Capitol is releasing Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled debut. It's been a big hit in her native England, and it looks to be setting up nicely here in the States. Press has been abundant and she's getting media exposure in both pop and urban worlds.

Lastly, Pearl Jam is quietly releasing a seven-song EP on J Records. It was recorded at Seattle's Easy Street Records and has three unreleased songs.
