Plus: T.I. [ tickets ], Ghostface Killah [ tickets ], more.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs [ tickets ]
"Show Your Bones"
(Interscope)

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs try to avoid the sophomore slump with the follow-up to the 2003 debut "Fever to Tell." The garage rock trio, which is led by the highly animated vocalist Karen O, is already getting substantial airplay for the album's first single/video, "Gold Lion."

The buzz is in overdrive on this album, and the band is garnering plenty of advance press, including a recent cover story in Spin magazine. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are supporting the album with an extensive US tour, which kicks off in early April in Washington, DC, and includes an April 30 appearance at the Coachella music festival.

Rob Zombie [ tickets ]
"Educated Horses"
(Geffen)

Zombie fans will be happy to hear that this master of the macabre is taking a break from his film career to re-focus his energy on music.

"Educated Horses," the artist's third solo CD, was produced by longtime Zombie associate Scott Humphrey, who also worked the board for the successful CDs "The Sinister Urge" and "Hellbilly Deluxe." The disc will also feature such sidemen as Tommy Lee (Motley Crue) and Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle).

Zombie, who scored a minor hit with the recent film "The Devil's Rejects," directed the video for the album's first single, "Foxy Foxy."

Tim McGraw [ tickets ]
"Greatest Hits, Vol. 2"
(Curb)

Here's a cowboy who has definitely earned two greatest hits packages. This second volume contains such big hits as "Live Like You Were Dying," "My Old Friend" and "She's My Kind of Rain."

The CD will also include the duets "Like We Never Loved at All" (with McGraw's wife, Faith Hill) and "Over and Over" (with Nelly) as well as four new tracks: "Beautiful People," "When the Stars Go Blue," "My Little Girl" and "I've Got Friends That Do."

McGraw has a blockbuster co-headlining tour planned with Hill, which begins in late April in Ohio.

T.I.
"King"
(Atlantic)

"Hotlanta" rapper T.I. is expected to make a strong chart debut with his first record since 2004's "Urban Legend." The record should greatly benefit from the publicity surrounding T.I.'s role in the film "ATL," which will be released nationwide on March 31. "ATL," as one might expect, is a music-driven drama about coming of age and dreaming large on the mean streets of Atlanta. Sounds like a perfect fit for T.I.

Ghostface Killah
"Fishscale"
(Def Jam)

Ghostface Killah is fishing for a hit with this follow-up to 2004's "The Pretty Toney Album." The hip-hop hero is best known for his time with the rap crew Wu-Tang Clan, but he's also released a number of successful solo projects, including 1996's "Ironman" and 2000's "Supreme Clientele."
