The Who are set to release the audio of their popular Shea Stadium show from 1982’s first farewell tour. Live at Shea Stadium 1982 arrives on March 1 via Mercury Studios.

Previously released on DVD and Blu-ray in June 2015, The Who delivered both classic tracks and rarely performed songs, including “Pinball Wizard,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “My Generation,” “Substitute” “Who Are You”, “I Can’t Explain”, “See Me Feel Me,” “Baba O’Riley” and many more.

The upcoming set – available in three-LP and two-CD configurations – marks the debut of the full performance in audio-only formats.

The tour promoted the 1982 album It’s Hard and the set list was comprised of several tracks from that album.

The Who’s 1982 North American tour was their last to feature Kenney Jones on drums and the band did not tour again until 1989. This recording features the show from the second of their two nights at New York’s Shea Stadium and was recorded on October 13, 1982.

Bruce Hornsby and yMusic have announced the first joint album from their collaborative project BrhyM.

The album, titled Deep Sea Vents, is scheduled for release on March 1 via Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers.

Deep Sea Vents was produced by Hornsby and yMusic’s Rob Moose, and recorded in Williamsburg, Virginia, and New York.

BrhyM shared the 10-track album’s lead single, “Deep Blue,” on Wednesday.

Speaking about the song, Hornsby said: “yMusic may be the funkiest, groovingest chamber group in all the land! Plus, I’m making my recorded debut as an electric sitarist on this piece — I have a limited range and not much ability, granted, but I feel it added a wry, exotic, and soulful texture to the song, so why not?”

He added, “In eighth grade we had a poetry section in English class, and Stephen Crane (The Red Badge Of Courage) was on the list. For some reason some of my friends and I thought two of his poems were a scream, so we never forgot them, and I couldn’t get them out of my mind after creating this track so just started singing them — voilà. The rest fairly much wrote itself, and Rob [Moose] and CJ [Camerieri] took over from there.”

BryhM is set to kick off its 15-date tour in Urbana, Illinois, on March 7.

Deep Sea Vents tracklist:

1 The Wild Whaling Life
2 (My) Theory of Everything
3 Platypus Wow
4 Phase Change
5 Foreign Sounds
6 The Wake of St. Brendan
7 Deep Blue
8 The Baited Line
9 Barber Booty
10 Deep Sea Vents

Selena Gomez will play the role of Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic about the multi-Grammy Award-winning artist.

The two artists recently spent a few hours at Ronstadt’s home discussing the project and getting to know each other, according to music publisher Great Eastern Music.

The film will be jointly produced by James Keach, award-winning producer of the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line; as well as Linda’s Grammy-winning documentary, The Sound of My Voice, together with John Boylan, Ronstadt’s manager.

“Development will continue once the current labor disputes have been settled,” Great Eastern Music says.

Ronstadt confirmed the news on her social media accounts on Wednesday. Gomez also shared a photo of Ronstadt’s 2013 memoir, “Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir,” on Instagram.

Ronstadt, 77, is a Mexican American singer who performed and recorded in diverse genres including rock, country, light opera, the Great American Songbook, and Latin music. She has earned 11 Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, and an ALMA Award.
