Friday New Releases – April 3, 2026

April is upon us and as things are warming up, so are the releases. I have a couple I’m getting and they are first on the list. Michael Sweet’s new solo album, a Michael Schenker Group Live Box Set. I also be getting the cd of some really early songs from a young Johnny Cougar, but the digital release was last week. There are a lot more as well so let me know what you want to hear this week. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
