A trio of collaborations top the New Music Monday offerings, including eruptive vocalist Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa, Bob James and David Sanborn and a pair of Genesis alumni — who offer a new take on one of the band’s classic tracks.

A pair of big-selling 1980s albums from either end of the rock spectrum get the deluxe reissue treatment, one the then-emerging indie-rockers R.E.M. and the other the confirmed pop-rock stars Huey Lewis and the News.

A series of terrific collaborations highlight this May 6, 2013 edition of New Music Monday — beginning with Brian May’s out-there turn with those pioneering space-music gurus in Tangerine Dream.

A return-to-form triumph for Deep Purple, and a reunion of the crunchy Raw Power-era edition of Iggy and the Stooges tops this heavy-rocking version of New Music Monday.

A pair of titanic jazz reissues captivated us into this New Music Monday, as ECM released box sets focusing on the work of Paul Motian and Charles Lloyd.

A simmering new melding of Southern rock and R&B arrives with the new JJ Grey album, while the Replacements and Shuggie Otis — yeah, you read that right — return with their first new music in ages.

Todd Rundgren’s State offers an ultra-contemporary fusion of rock and electronica, while Mike Keneally revisits his thrilling 2012 collaboration with XTC’s Andy Partridge, adding previously unheard music, demos and remixes.

Spock’s Beard hasn’t sounded so Spock’s Beard-y in years, as they return with a new lead singer and a throwback new release that recalls the glory years with Neal Morse. (It helps that Morse contributes two songs, as well.)

Both Depeche Mode and the Waterboys are back with equally improbable returns to form. They get there by recalling everything you loved about their work in the late 1980s.

A sprawling retrospective set provides new vistas for experiencing the shooting-star genius of the late Duane Allman, and we return once more to an emotional reminiscence from Miles Davis which would ultimately be his last major concert.
