On Monday Dave Arcari Announces New Album and EP was a top story. Here is the recap: (The Blues) Dave Arcari has scheduled the release of his album Givers & Takers for August - and he'll lead it with the launch of an EP called Hellbound Train on June 10.

The four-track title is his first release in three years, with the exception of digital-only track McPherson's Lament in January. Arcari had the following to say:

"I've been working on a bunch of new songs for a while, but despite plans to record and release them long before now, things have been so busy on the road there just hasn't been time - not that I can complain about that!"
