What this episode covers

This week, it's all about reinvention. Bon Jovi turns country with fiddles and steel pedals on Lost Highway. It's something of a mixed bag for the Jersey rocker -- his compilation with Big and Rich is unforgivable, he makes up for it by a duet with LeAnn Rimes called "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore." Next, former members of The Beta Band reconnect to make The Aliens. Their debut CD Astronomy for Dogs cranks out eight five-minute plus songs of summery pop and garage rock, the most notable being "Setting Sun." Last, the ultimate identity crisis group Mooney Suzuki reemerges with Have Mercy, a mix of country, rock and psychadellica. Skip the album and download "Good Ole Alcohol." Also featured this week: The Fragile Army from Polyphonic Spree.
