Stars Willem Dafoe, Mickey Rourke, and Samuel L. Jackson, set in New Mexico. Worth watching just for the soundtrack by Patrick O'Hearn.
35th Anniversary, basically a "last hurrah" for the Anderson / Howe / Wakeman / Squire / White lineup.
Most of the expected classics are here.
Necrot - Blood Offerings
Death - Individual Thought Patterns*
Willie Nelson - and then I wrote
Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade*
Incantation - Profane Nexus
Exhumed - Death Revenge
*these were Christmas presents from my wife. She gets me. 
and a Willie Nelson album smack dab in the middle. 
I've enjoyed his music since The Byrds, and saw him in concert with the short-lived Souther Hillman Furay Band.
I thought it was worth the wait. If you enjoyed that, I'd recommend Marty Stewart & His Fabulous Superlatives' "Way Out West," easily one of the best albums of 2017. It flows like a long, lost Flying Burrito Bros album and is a perfect bookend for the year with the Hillman disc.
You can either log in with your Facebook credentials or set up an account. The only reason I haven't is that I already own all of the music (including the recent remasters he did for his Pono player).
He is definitely going to charge something for it at some point. I posted something here a couple of weeks ago, when the site opened..."free, for now." It's everything...the only music that's not on there yet would be the unreleased albums, the ones that started out as something and then got shelved or scattered among other albums. Eventually they'll be out there too. Also, some of the CSNY stuff is still on the way. Other than that, it's every note he's recorded in the last 50 years.
The premise behind the site is that is measures your bandwidth and gives you the best possible sound for the quality of service you have. You might get "master tapes" quality, or it may be throttled down to accommodate your current speed, but he claims it will still be superior to other streaming services.

Anyway, check it out...if it's still free you can hear both albums now without waiting for the coin.
I had the original 2-LP vinyl version of this...it was called "Cerulean" at one point. Original was bootleg-quality but it just BURNED.
Then someone found the master tapes, and it was released in 3 individual CDs, then a box, then another box.
It was recorded near the end of Peter Green's tenure at the Boston Tea Party. There are a few rockabilly rave-ups, but the highlights are 2 separate 25-minute insane rave-ups of "Rattlesnake Shake." You also get "Green Manalishi" and "Oh Well," among others.
Page, Beck and Clapton all cut their teeth on Yardbirds tracks that now sound a little quaint compared to what followed. Green, like Clapton, also paid some dues with Mayall. But the "Boston" set shows that he could have risen to the same heights as the other three, that Fleetwood Mac could have morphed into a Led Zeppelin, in the same way that the Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart / Ron Wood "Jeff Beck Group" could have done the same, if egos hadn't sent the whole thing crashing down after one strong album and a second "wobbler."
If you like the Peter Green Mac short and sweet, you may or may not like this. But the set is legendary, and shows what could have been but what was simply not meant to be. Green had all of this in him, but he just wasn't wired for the long haul. When he restored himself, he produced a lot of very good, solid albums, but he never did this again.
I'll check it out. 
I discovered Richard Thompson several years ago, when his entire solo output at the time (up to Hand of Kindness) was remastered and re-released on vinyl. I remember the Rolling Stone review clearly...it said something like "Imagine you woke up one day and realized you'd never heard of Jimi Hendrix."
During the chronic "tribute album" phase of the 80s, they eventually got around to Richard. One of the participants was John Mellencamp, who praised Thompson's songwriting, saying "I'm never going to write as song as good as any of his."
I like the vast majority of what he's done, from Fairport Convention to "Still," but as a guitarist, I lean toward his guitar rave-ups. One of my favorites is "Hard On Me" from "Mock Tudour."
He later released a live album, "Semi-Detached Mock Tudour," in which he more than doubled the track length:
Enjoy.
Falling in love all over again to their music-- quite the extraordinary band!
And I just saw History of the Eagles-- superb!
