It has been exactly 40 years since the legendary bluesman Muddy Waters died in his sleep at the age of 68 on April 30, 1983. Similarly, it has been eight years since soul singer Ben E. King — who sang and co-wrote Stand By Me, one of the highest-earning songs in history — died after a brief illness at the age of 76. And it has been one year since country star Naomi Judd took her own life at the age of 76, the day before The Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. That should give you plenty of options for your Sunday listening. And this list of the 370-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving soon should give you plenty of options for the rest of the week:
