Don Henley "Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits"

Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits compilation album by American singer-songwriter Don Henley, released in 1995. The album was the first compilation album released by Henley and it covered hits from all three of his solo albums throughout the 1980s. The album features three new songs, "The Garden of Allah", "You Don't Know Me at All", and Henley's cover of "Everybody Knows". The collection peaked at No. 48 on the charts and reached platinum status. "The Garden of Allah" reached No. 16 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

The photograph on the cover half-jokingly depicts Henley as a cigar-smoking used car salesman, which Don himself was asked about by David Letterman following a 1995 performance on The Late Show. Henley explained that the picture and album title was a subtle satire on the record industry.

Belinda Carlisle "Live Your Life Be Free (2013 Remastered Deluxe Edition)"

Live Your Life Be Free is the fourth studio album by American singer Belinda Carlisle, released in 1991 by MCA Records in the United States and Virgin Records in the UK. This was the first of Carlisle's albums not to chart in the United States and the last album of hers to produce a U.S. Billboard Hot 100 single ("Do You Feel Like I Feel?", number 73). The album fared better in the UK, where it peaked at number seven.

Carlisle co-wrote two of the tracks on the album: "Loneliness Game" and "Little Black Book" (which went to number 28 in the UK Singles Chart).

The song "You Came Out of Nowhere" begins with a sample from the opening of "Nobody Told Me", a song by John Lennon that was released in 1984.

The reception of Live Your Life Be Free was not as good as her previous albums. Rolling Stone wrote "Carlisle merely stirs up a nostalgia for carefree girl groups singing gooey love songs – giving Live Your Life a certain giddy, pointless coherence", while for AllMusic, "Live Your Life Be Free shows the singer to be capable in a variety of musical contexts, and is a pleasing listen throughout".

The album sold better outside the U.S. and managed to enter the top 10 in the UK, where it was certified gold. Outside the UK the album charted No. 21 in Sweden for 10 weeks and No. 27 in Australia.

The first single release outside the United States was the album title track, which peaked at No. 11 in Italy, No. 12 in the UK, No. 16 in Sweden and No. 13 in Australia. In the U.S. the first single to be released was "Do You Feel Like I Feel?", which was the last Carlisle single to enter the U.S. top 100.

Live Your Life Be Free was re-released on August 26, 2013, in a 2CD+DVD casebook edition from Edsel Recording, featuring the original album remastered, the single versions, remixes and B-sides. The DVD features the videos from the album and an exclusive interview with Carlisle discussing the album.

Sheryl Crow "C'mon, C'mon (Mexico, A&M Records, 493 261-2)"

C'mon, C'mon is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, released on April 8, 2002 in the United Kingdom and April 16, 2002 in the United States. Lead single "Soak Up the Sun" peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of her biggest hits since "All I Wanna Do". The album was arguably her most pop-influenced to date, a big departure from the folk and experimental influences on her previous release, The Globe Sessions.

C'mon, C'mon debuted at No. 2 on the UK Album Chart and on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 185,000 copies in the United States. The album has been certified Platinum in the U.S. and Japan, selling 2.1 million units in the U.S. as of January 2008. The album is dedicated to Crow's former boyfriend Owen Wilson and is an account of their relationship.
