Frank Sinatra’s son Frank Sinatra Jr (and Nancy Sinatra’s younger brother) died of a massive heart attack at the age of 72, according to tmz.com. Sinatra was set to play on Wednesday night (March 16th) in Los Angeles, but after feeling unwell, canceled the Peabody Auditorium show. After checking into Halifax Medical Center, he suffered a heart attack at the hospital.
Heart disease seemed to run in the family, as his father Sinatra Sr also died of a heart attack.

Nancy Sinatra will be releasing Shifting Gears this December, her first album in four years.
Sinatra is the daughter of the late Frank Sinatra, and probably is known for a few hits from her time: "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" (which was actually a Cher cover, but it's Sinatra version that Quentin Tarantino used in his Kill Bill movie).
Although she's known as a pop singer, the title, Shifting Gears refers to her shifting music genres with this upcoming album. According to Sinatra, "This particular collection of music contains some of the biggest charts and arrangements, as well as the most dynamic vocals, of my career. I'm thrilled to have these songs finally available to the public."
She is talking about a number of songs from her past, that she's gone back and re-recorded for the album, including Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song" (although according to Sinatra, she said the song was originally by Lori Lieberman - you can read the well-written and researched Sinatra blog entry) and Neil Diamond's "Holly Holy". You can check out the latter track on USAToday.com:
Side note: fans of Peter, Bjorn and John, look for your friend Peter Moren on three tracks. Ane Brun and Kathryn Williams also make lovely appearances.…
Norwegian-born pop singer-songwriter Ane Brun has released Rareties, on her label, Balloon Ranger label. This is the second collection, following Songs 2003-2013 in May, but this new compilation feature, as the title suggests, rarities and oddities.
According to Brun, "Rarities is a compilation of songs and recordings that have either not been released, or have been released on other compilations or as singles. This is a way to empty our cupboards of recordings that have been lying around, and another way to mark my ten year anniversary as an artist."
The collection includes covers of Beyoncé ("Halo"), Björk ("Joga") and The Beatles ("From Me To You"), among others, see track listing below for full details.

Joanna Gruesome, not to be confused with Joanna Newsom (they must really dislike her?), recently covered Galaxie 500's "Tugboat" - which is the B-Side to their Sugarcrush single, out November 18th, from Slumberland Records.
According to the press release, the band previously played the cover song at their show at CMJ's Music Marathon last month.
As for me, I've previously heard the "original" band Dean & Britta play Galaxie 500 songs at Bathysphere: A Psychonautical Voyage earlier this year, and yes, they did play "Tugboat" live. Also, a little trivia, but Britta is the singing voice of JEM (that girl band cartoon).
Jenny & Tyler are a husband-wife duo, currently based out of Nashville, Tennessee. The "soul-grass" (soul/bluegrass) songwriters recently announced they are on tour in support of Sara Groves & Bebo Norman. . …

Trails and Ways recently covered Frank Ocean's "Lost", but as a bossa nova version... and in Portuguese.
The song is available for download at Soundcloud.
If you don't listen to pop music, Frank Ocean is a singer/rapper from New Orleans. He's probably more famous for writing some songs for Brandy, Justin Bieber and John Legend. Ocean is currently in OFWGKTA (aka Odd Future).
As for Trails and Ways, I think they are from Oakland, California (but apparently knows Portuguese). Regarding the cover, I believe it's the first in a series of cover songs. Their EP called Trilingual is out now, via Non•Market.
Just to set the record straight, The Pines, that I'm familiar with, are a UK duo, consisting of Pamela Berry (singer of Black Tambourine, as well as Glo-Worm, and others...) and Joe Brooker (from The Foxgloves).
With that said, there is another band called The Pines, from Minneapolis. They're described as "gothic indie-folk", and founded by David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey when they met in Arizona. I believe, according the press release, for this particular Highwaymen cover song, they have two singers, Erik Koskinen and Dave Simonett (of Trampled By Turtles), for this particular song.
"Highwayman" is out now on Red House Records.
The band is currently on tour:
11/15/13 Detroit Lakes, MN - Caravan du Nord, Holmes Theater 6p
11/22/13 Minneapolis, MN - Cedar Cultural Center w/Dave Simonett
11/23/13 Minneapolis, MN - Cedar Cultural Center w/Dave More
12/06/13 Kansas City, MO - Knuckleheads
12/07/13 Fairfield, IA - Cafe Paradiso
12/08/13 Omaha, NE - The Slowdown
12/18/13 Chicago, IL - City Winery
01/18/14 Lake City, MN - Oak Center General Store
01/24/14 Hayward, WI - Park Theater
