While the family "Corr" is taking a break from recording/touring, etc., to concentrate on family matters, two items of news are worthy of a bit of attention.

- DREAMS / THE ULTIMATE CORRS COLLECTION has just been released in the US. It's been out as an import since last November, but not available as a US product until this week. Rhino has the US distribution rights for this Warner UK product. The album is a second greatest hits type of album for The Corrs featuring mostly previously-released material. It covers some of their earlier hits plus adds in material from BORROWED HEAVEN, LIVE IN DUBLIN, and HOME, and in addition, finally releases a few tracks from the unreleased-in-the-US UNPLUGGED album. Of interest here is a new remix of the BORROWED HEAVEN track called "Goodbye (2006 Remix)" along with a studio mix of the duet between Andrea Corr and Bono (of U2 fame) on "When The Stars Go Blue". Also noteworthy in the inclusion of the old classic song, "All I Have To Do Is Dream", performed by Andrea Corr and French artist Laurent Voulzy. Previously, you had to seek out his disc from France to get that track.
- While her siblings are busy building families, Andrea Corr is slated to release her solo album this year. The first single ("Shame On You") is due out in May, with the album by June. The title, once known as PRESENT, will actually be TEN FEET HIGH. The cover has begun showing up on the Internet. You can view it here. Word is that Andrea wrote all of the songs on the album except for the old Squeeze song, "Take Me I'm Yours."
