Multi-Grammy award-winning band Train recently shared a new song, "Long Yellow Dress," along with an accompanying lyric video.

"Have you ever had a dream more real than reality? Me too. There she was in a long yellow dress. Do I know her? It's obvious that I'm supposed to find her so I can't stop looking. She's out there somewhere," frontman Pat Monahan shares.

The single drops just ahead of Train's headlining European and U.K. tour, which includes the band's first performance at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall on April 30th. They'll be recording a live album there, to be released sometime this summer.

The multi-Grammy winning band will kick off a North American tour with REO Speedwagon in Somerset, Wisconsin, on July 8.

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour has announced that his new album, Luck and Strange, will be released on September 6 on Sony Music.

Luck and Strange was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew.

Of this new working relationship, Gilmour says, "We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, 'Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?' and 'Do they all fade out? Can't some of them just end?'"

"He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine," the Pink Floyd guitarist added. "He's very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you".

The majority of the album's lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years.

Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on Luck and Strange, "It's written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant."

Gilmour elaborates, "We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things."

Samson also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, saying, "He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who's playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason".

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers' "Between Two Points" and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards, with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright.

Luck and Strange is available in LP, CD, Blu-Ray & Digital For Pre-Order at https://davidgilmour.lnk.to/LuckandStrange

Gilmour also shared the track "The Piper's Call" from the upcoming album.

On April 30, the Recording Academy will host its annual Grammys on the Hill Awards, honoring nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow and Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) for their contributions to support music creators.

Hosted by singer and actress Candiace Dillard Bassett, the awards dinner will be held at the Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C., and will feature live performances and special guests.

Crow has dedicated much of her life to activism, supporting policies and philanthropic endeavors close to her heart.

"Receiving this award from Recording Academy is a tremendous honor for me, because protecting the rights of creators is more important now than ever before," said Crow. "In this age where technology is changing the world faster than we can adapt, we need clear eyes to see both the opportunities and the challenges ahead, so that artists are not disadvantaged any more than they already are. Music nourishes our humanity, and I am proud to be recognized as an advocate for the protection of the people who make it."

Cornyn and Klobuchar are the congressional honorees being recognized for their stalwart support of creators and their collaborative efforts championing key policies in support of the music community.

"As a Texan, a love of live music is in my blood, and I've been proud to lead the charge on legislation that helps artists, entertainers, and venues meet the needs of their fans, including the Save Our Stages Act and the Fans First Act," said Cornyn. "I want to thank the Recording Academy for honoring me, and I look forward to continue to work on behalf of performers and fans across Texas and the nation."

"It's an honor to be recognized by the Recording Academy, an organization that uplifts performers, songwriters, and other music professionals in our country," said Klobuchar. "Music has the power to bring us together and it is something we can never take for granted. That's why I fought to pass the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act with Senator Cornyn to ensure independent arts venues survived the pandemic, and why we are working together to improve the ticketing experience with the Fans First Act. There's nothing like live music and concerts, and I remain committed to ensuring artists can continue to share their music with the fans who love it."

Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has teamed up with Anthrax members Charlie Benante and Scott Ian for a cover of the Bad Brains song "The Regulator."

The single was released on Record Store Day, April 20th, as a vinyl release. The seven-inch single, limited to 6,000 copies, comes complete with cover art by Benante.

Upon the initial announcement of the single, Ian revealed the story behind the collaboration, saying, "Anthrax were recording our new album at [Grohl's] 606 [studio] and the Foo's were there rehearsing at the same time. Dave had popped into the studio to hang and listen to what we were doing and we'd gone over to hear the Foo's rehearse. I texted Dave the next morning and said: 'Hey! Good to see ya the other day. Are you rehearsing today? I'll be there doing guitars. Wanna record a Minor Threat song? Bad Brains?' He replied immediately with the Spotify link for 'The Regulator.' I said I'd be there at 12:30pm and he said, 'See you at 1.' It was that simple."

He continued, "We recorded at 606. Charlie and I asked Dave if he'd play drums and sing as well, he was in. Charlie plays bass and I'm on guitar. Charlie did the badass art for the cover. GBI!"

Proceeds from the single benefit legendary Bad Brains singer H.R., who is suffering from SUNCT Syndrome, which causes cycles of intense headaches that make it impossible for him to perform.

Green Day co-founder and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said "Dilemma" was "one of those songs that was kind of easy to write because it was so personal to me. We've seen so many of our peers struggle with addiction and mental illness. This song is all about the pain that comes from those experiences."

The song also remains at No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart for a fourth week and retained its second rank on the Alternative Airplay chart.
