The first original album in more than three years from multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated superstars the Goo Goo Dolls, "Gutterflower" is the follow-up to 1998's massive hit "Dizzy Up The Girl". With melodic pop hooks, powerful guitar-driven rock and glorious acoustic outings, "Gutterflower" is a triumpant mix of songs that build on and surpass the extraordinary accomplishments that precede it.

Woody Herman,one of the shining lights of the big band era,has the release of 25 cuts from his 1945-47-period band,otherwise known as the First Herd and some from his Second Herd.The name"herd" was a moniker that had been kicking around the offices of "Metronome"(along with Downbeat the best source for music info) for years.It wasn't until around 1944 that the name started getting on going use in the music industry.His first well known band was referred to by many as "the band that played the blues" in the /30s and early /40s.When he switched labels from Decca to Columbia in Feb/45 he hired some of the best musicians he could find and boy what recordings came out of those sessions;and those arrangements! Fast moving and progressive swing with high end trumpets and beautiful harmonic runs,with a solid rhythmic back beat.It was the most successful band Woody ever had.Due to personal problems he disbanded the Herd in early 1947 but came back later in the year to put together another band known as the "Four Brothers" or the Second herd.Again the progressive/aggressive arrangements were on the table and the band blew with wild abandon.
