The Indigo Girls have set an October 4th release date for their fourteenth studio album, Beauty Queen Sister.
The new album is a 13-song collection recorded in Nashville. The duo reunited with producer Peter Collins, with whom the Indigo Girls worked on 1992's Rites of Passage and 1994's Swamp Ophelia.

Rock and funk icon has Sly Stone has released I’m Back: Family and Friends. Remakes include Jeff Beck’s contribution to “(I Want to Take You) Higher” ; Bootsy Collins’ bass contributions to “Hot Fun”; and the Doors’ Ray Manzarek on “Dance to the Music.” Other than those appearance, Stone played all of the instruments himself.
“Plain Jane,” is a previously unheard Stone composition, is a nasty funk. “His Eye is on the Sparrow,” is a traditional hymn, and “Get Away,” reminds of “Family Affair”
