Throughout his four decades at the forefront of Southern rock, Warren Haynes has inexhaustibly innovated on time-honored musical traditions. In a career full of bold moves, largely harmonizing the gritty traditionalism of blues and roots with the improvisatory fluency of jazz and jam, one of his most striking projects has been an embrace of orchestral performance. The singer, songwriter and guitarist’s rare symphonic shows situate his music in arrangements that work productive tensions to reach new heights of grandeur. Today, he shared the second single from his highly anticipated first symphonic live album: a rootsy and elaborate take on the Grateful Dead’s classic “Shakedown Street.”

Restlessly prolific as he was, Prince’s career was also steered by an awareness of his legacy and the deliberate assembly of a body of work that would continue to reveal itself long after he’d gone. The late icon’s estate has been attentive to this as it sorts through his legendary vault, continuing his story by sharing a fistful of sprawling deluxe reissues and shelved records that Prince saved for the future. Today, the estate announced plans to resume that effort with Timeless, a new posthumous collection of unheard songs from throughout his whole career.
