Today in musical birthdays: Lauryn Hill turns 49 (though she probably won’t show up until she’s 50), Lenny Kravitz is 60, Hank Williams Jr. is 75, Stevie Nicks turns 76, Guess Who drummer Gary Peterson hits 79 — and in the posthumous category, guitarist Mick Ronson would be 78, Levon Helm would be 84, Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit would be 78, Miles Davis would be 98 and Peggy Lee would be 104. Pick your favourite and go to town. But first, check out the 430-plus albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week:
