CD Release of the Week #58
Are you ready to rock!?!?! and prehaps roll a bit?! Well if you are then you’re ready for this week’s CD Release of the Week.
This week we’re taking a listen to the debut self-titled album from Them Crooked Vultures. Them Crooked Vultures has the honor of joining the list of rock super-groups as the band is comprised of Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), none other than John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin).
I’m sure after seeing those names you are creating some high expectations in your mind for this band. Well I’m happy to say that Them Crooked Vultures delivers on those expectations. What the band has laid down on their debut album is Queens of the Stone Age infused with some classic Led Zeppelin and Dave Grohl’s signature drumming.
I’ve pretty much spent all week rockin’ out to this album and so I hope you’ll enjoy my top three picks off the debut album from Them Crooked Vultures as we feature them on tonight’s live episode of Talk That Rocks at 9/8c only on www.talkthatrocks.com
Foo Fighters: 2 New Songs on Greatest Hits Album
Dave Grohl / Josh Homme / John Paul Jones supergroup Them Crooked Vultures has been generating so much excitement recently, it’s easy to forget Grohl’s other group. Yeah, the Foo Fighters, remember them?
Well, to help refresh your memory, the band will release Foo Fighters Greatest Hits November 3 via Roswell/RCA. It’s their first release since 2007’s Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace. In addition to classics like “Best of You” and “Everlong,” Greatest will also feature two news songs, “Wheels” and “Word Forward,” which the band — Grohl, Taylor Hawkins (drums/vocals), Nate Mendel (bass) and Chris Shiflett (guitar) — recorded with producer Butch Vig especially for the release.
Grohl and Co. performed “Wheels” for Barack Obama at the White House on the Fourth of July. Read more

Dave Grohl’s performance behind the drums in support of Paul McCartney at the Grammys was pretty sweet, but it left us wondering: When is the ex-Nirvana sticksman planning to record with his main gig, the Foo Fighters? Read more
