New efforts from Halestorm, Dropkick Murphys, Jimi Cravity, and Jefe make up the music shopping list for the first Friday in January 2017.
Ah, a new year and a new music shopping list. Unfortunately for music purchasing enthusiasts, the first week in January is never a prolific one. January 6, 2017 doesn’t yield a wealth of electrifying choices, but new projects appear from Halestorm, Dropkick Murphys, Jimi Cravity, and Jefe. Next week – January 13, 2017 – should be more promising by all means.
