Who needs groundhogs? You can tell spring is near with a quick glance at Amazon.com or iTunes, where lots of new music is beginning to pop up every Tuesday.
Artists with fresh albums out this week include Lily Allen, India.Arie, The Lonely Island, Emmylou Harris, Dan Auerbach, Ryan Leslie, Red, Napalm Death and Michael Martin Murphey.
