The first time Carole King and James Taylor performed together was in 1970 at the Troubadour club in West Hollywood. In 2007, when the club was celebrating its 50th anniversary, the two singer-songwriters who were virtually unkown when they first played the Troubadour returned for an encore. That performance was recorded, and can now be seen and heard on the CD/DVD set, Live At The Troubadour. The release coincides with the duo's 2010 Troubadour Reunion Tour, running May through July.

In 2006, Jackson Browne teamed up with multi-instrumentalist David Lindley for a tour of Spain. Performances from that tour have been packaged in the two-CD set, Love Is Strange. Not coincidentally, the album's release coincides with a Browne-Lambert tour of the U.S. and Europe, June through August.

Meat Loaf's 11th studio album, Hang Cool, Teddy Bear is a concept album that tells the story of a wounded soldier's thoughts about his future. The Guardian says the album "is of a piece with the rest of his catalogue: the pounding guitars never slacken, emotions are writ very large and the lyrics rarely lack sly wit."
