5 Albums I'm Excited About In 2011

1) Ben Harper And the Relentless 7- Give Till Its Gone.
                    Due to release May, 2011.  I have been a Ben Harper fan for many many years, and I loved his team up with the Relentless 7.  I can't wait to hear this- it will be a great rock album!

2) Brett Dennen- Loverboy.
                    Due to release April 12, 2011.  Known best for his song, "Ain't No Reason", and "Heaven", Brett brings a fun and passionate sound to the table.  This album is said to have a less folksy feel than his previous albums.  Dennen wrote, "I don’t want to be categorized as a folk singer-songwriter anymore. I want to play music that makes people dance. I want to inspire people to get on their feet singing."


3) The Script- Science and Faith.
                      Released in US January 18, 2011.  I have already listened to this album, and it is very good.  It continues with the feel that The Script showed off on their last album, and Science and Faith is filled with catchy pop-rock tunes and great songwriting. 


4) U2-  Songs of Ascent.
                     Due to release 'early 2011'.  I love some U2.  I have Joshua Tree on vinyl, and it is perfect in almost any mood!  But their last album- No Line on the Horizon- tanked.  I bought the vinyl because I was in a big U2 and records craze, and I listened to half of it.  A hit like that should make the band come back strong with a great album to try to counteract this.


5) Capstone Church- [Title TBA]
                 Expected to release Spring 2011.  Okay, so this isn't like the others.  I'm not excited to buy this one, but for it to release.  This is my church's first worship album, featuring songs by John Dukes, myself, and some others.  It was recorded January 9, 2011, and is in Nashville currently being mixed.
