Today, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, Columbia Records, and Legacy Recordings have released a previously unheard live performance of “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues,” played at Madison Square Garden in New York City on January 30, 1974, by the combined musical force: Bob Dylan and The Band. The final advanced track from the impending collection featuring every professionally recorded show from Dylan’s 1974 arena tour with The Band, dubbed The 1974 Live Recordings, the set is due in full on September 20.

Today, Joni Mitchell shares an unheard rarity from her vault with the release of “Traveling (Hejira),” a demo of the title track from her revolutionary eighth studio album. This early version stands in stark contrast to the soul-stirring original release, stripping Mitchell’s folk-fusion opus back to the artist and her guitar and introducing a bright and springing wide-eyed wisdom to the dusky highway meditation. The enlightening behind-the-scenes sample arrives as the second preview single for Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980), the legendary musician’s 12th retrospective collection with Rhino Records.

On Sept. 4, Las Vegas’ Big Blues Bender kicked off with the HART Party benefit, rounding up an all-star squad of blues artists alongside the Bender Brass Band Septet to set off this year’s Sin City festivities and raise money for a good cause. Through the course of the evening, such blues torchbearers as Jimmy Vivino, Dale Spalding, Victor Wainwright, John Németh and more took the storied stage of the Westgate Resort & Casino’s International Theater, but it was the penultimate act that was the evening’s true highlight. After a thrilling set from Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia, the Blood Brothers welcomed a guest spot from none other than Bill Murray, who shut down the performance with two anthemic covers.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.
