One of the world’s most beloved American rock bands, The Goo Goo Dolls release its twelfth album, Volume Two, through Warner Music Gallo Africa. It is the follow-up to last year’s Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles — the first-ever collection of the band’s hits in its 22-year-career.
Volume Two, a two-disc DVD+CD set, is a treasure trove of audio and video destined to be an instant must-have for Goos fans.
The DVD features 23 of the Goo Goo Dolls’ music videos, including their three No. 1 smashes “Name,” “Iris,” and “Slide,” as well as the Top 10 singles “Black Balloon,” “Dizzy,” “Broadway,” “Here is Gone,” “Sympathy,” “Stay With You,” and “Let Love In.” In addition, the DVD features six live tracks from their sold-out show at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre in June 2007, including “Before It’s Too Late” (from The Transformers’ soundtrack) and “Better Days,” the lead-off single from Let Love In.
The 23-track audio CD features several favorite album tracks, including “No Way Out,” from Jed, and a live take of “All Eyes on Me,” from Dizzy Up The Girl. Also included are such rarities as a demo version of their No. 1 single “Iris” and a brand new mix of “We’ll Be Here,” from Let Love In. It also includes eight cover songs, including the band’s renditions of The Plimsouls’ “A Million Miles Away,” INXS’s “Don’t Change,” Fleetwood Mac’s “I Don’t Wanna Know,” and live versions of Tom Petty’s “American Girl.”
The Goo Goo Dolls, which is singer/guitarist Johnny Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer Mike Malinin, have spent the last year and a half touring the world in support of Let Love In.
