$5 MP3 Album Deal: The James Gang ‘Thirds’

Posted: 30 Sep 2012 05:20 AM PDT

James Gang Thirds Album Cover

Thirds, by the hard rock trio The James Gang, which is led by the strong, quirky, and out and out rocking presence of lead singer/guitarist Joe Walsh, is now available on MP3 format from Amazon for only $5.

Released in 1971 and spawning the infectious radio hard rock hit "Walk Away," Thirds (representing the bands third release) finds the three musicians in fine musical fettle indeed. The genre pendulum sways ever so slightly here, as the album goes from hard rock (the aforementioned "Walk Away") to country ("Dreaming in the Country") and back around to hard rock again albeit sublime as well ("Midnight Man"). Thirds would prove to be Walsh's last album with the other two members (Jim Fox and Dale Peters on drums and bass respectively), as he would find further success and superstardom with his solid solo career and his work in The Eagles. But here back when he was in the James Gang, he was part of a great little swinging rock and roll unit of a band that also has their place in rock history. And as evidenced by a listen to Thirds, The James Gang, with their rocking struts and no-nonsense approach, made the band rise way above being just a Joe Walsh curio ultimately.

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 12:42 PM PDT

47 Ronin preview banner

Courtesy of the good folks over at Dark Horse, we have some preview pages for Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo) and Mike Richardson's (Cut, Caravan) comic adaptation of the greatest revenge story ever told—47 Ronin.

The legend of the 47 Ronin began in the 18th century as a group of samurai who were set on a course of revenge after their daimyo, Asano Naganori was forced to commit ritual suicide after attacking a man knows as Kira Yoshinaka. The tale has been popularized in Japanese culture as a shining example of loyalty, sacrifice, and honor.

With Sakai behind the helm, the comic will unquestionably be grounded in the classic realistic style that has made the comic creator's work legendary. Check out the preview pages below and get ready for some cold entrees. You know, because revenge is best served….ah, never mind. [...]
