Deep Purple’s Latest And Likely Last Album Tops Phil’s Picks 2020 Top 10 New Rock Albums List

Courtesy: earMUSIC

The year 2020 threw a lot of misery and negativity at the world.  Between the seemingly endless issues raised as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the political problems that plagued America and the world, and some of the most respected names in the industry passing, there has been more than enough for us to never speak of 2020 again when it ends.  For all of that negativity and misery that the world has seen this year though, there actually has been at least some positive in the form of new music from so many acts.  The lists compiled already recently by Phil’s Picks and other outlets have more than supported that statement.  That new music includes new albums from lots of new and established rock acts, such as Deep Purple, Faith & Scars, and even Nine Inch Nails.  All three acts are featured in this year’s list of Phil’s Picks Top 10 New Rock Albums.  Their musical and lyrical content collectively (and sometimes by themselves) prove them fully deserving of their spots on this (and any critic’s) list.

As with every other list from Phil’s Picks, this list features the Top 10 new titles in the given category and five additional honorable mention titles for a total of 15 titles.  Without any further ado, here is Phil’s Picks 2020 Top 10 New Rock Albums.

PHIL’S PICKS 2020 TOP 10 NEW ROCK ALBUMS

1. Deep Purple – Whoosh!
2. Nick Perri & The Underground Thieves – Sun Via
3. Derek Sherinian – The Phoenix
4. Ricky Byrd – Sobering Times
5. Joe Satriani – Shapeshifting
6. Pearl Jam – Gigaton
7. Nine Inch Nails – Ghosts V
8. Nine Inch Nails – Ghosts VI
9. Soul Asylum – Hurry Up and Wait
10. Shadow and the Thrill – Sugarbowl
11. Faith & Scars – Revolver

As with every past year’s list, this year’s list features the Top 10 albums and give honorable mentions for a total of 15 albums.  Without any further ado, here is Phil’s Picks 2020 Top 10 New Independent albums.

Nick Perri To Support Blackberry Smoke Live Next Month

Courtesy: Chipster PR

Singer-songwriter Nick Perri is joining southern rock band Blackberry Smoke for a series of live dates.

Perry is scheduled to join the band for four dates next month on its live drive-in concert run.  Perry will serve as support on the tour from Sept. 10-15 beginning Sept. 10 in Roanoke, VA.  From there, he will join the band in Butler, PA; Scranton, PA and Yarmouth, MA.

Perri’s run with Blackberry Smoke is noted below.

Thurs Sept 10 – Dr Pepper Park – Roanoke, VA
Sat      Sept 12 – Starlight Drive-In – Butler, PA
Sun     Sept 13 – Circle Drive-In – Scranton, PA
Tues   Sept 15 – Yarmouth Drive-In on Cape Cod – Yarmouth, MA

Perri talked about joining Blackberry Smoke during a recent interview.

“I’m thrilled to be headed back on the road, to continue sharing the experience of live music, and most of all excited to be doing it with my dear friends in Blackberry Smoke- who I love and admire so much”, said Perri. “Especially in a time like this, I think live music plays an important role in uniting and up-lifting.”

“For a variety of reasons, the Trio version of this band makes the most sense on this run,” added Perri. “I’m really excited to strip things back and offer an alternative experience to what we do with the full six-piece band.”

The Nick Perri Trio will consist of Perri on lead vocals and guitar, Brian Weaver on bass, and Zil Fessler on drums.

Perri’s upcoming dates with Blackberry Smoke are just his latest performing at drive-in dates.  He and his band The Underground Thieves joined The Struts early this month for a pair of drive-in shows in Philadelphia and Butler, PA.

Nick Perri and The underground Thieves released its debut album Sun Via Aug. 14.  The album peaked at #6 on the Top 10 US Rock Albums iTunes chart.  The album is available here.
