Want to know what new release discs and platters are moving across the Valley at local record stores? We’ve got you covered with another installment of What’s Selling.
Well the Red Hot Chili Peppers certainly didn’t waste any time jumping to the top of Hoodlums’ list of best sellers last week. Joining the rockin’ Angelenos at the top is Ry Cooder’s politically-inspired album and John Hiatt’s gritty-blues opus.
Gillian Welch and William Elliott Whitmore continue their stranglehold on the list. Follow the jump to see who else made the cut.
