Happy 74th birthday to ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, aka The One Without The Beard. He’s got to be so sick of that joke. But not sick enough to grow a beard, it seems. Some other musicians blowing out candles on June 11: Kodak Black turns 26, Steven Drozd of Flaming Lips is 54, Donnie Van Zant of .38 Special is 71 and Lohn Lawton of Uriah Heep is 77. That should give you plenty of listening options for the day — while this list of 360-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes will give you options for the rest of the week:
