U2 - “The Best of 1990-2000” (Interscope)
U2 chronicles another decade of music with this two-disc set, which follows 1998’s “The Best of 1980-1990.” The new collection features numerous remixes, as well as two new tracks: “Electrical Storm” and “The Hands That Built America.” A limited-edition version of the release will be available for one week, according to the band’s official website, and will feature a bonus disc of B-sides and a bonus DVD.

Dave Matthews Band - “Live at Folsom Field” (RCA)
Dave Matthews Band’s fifth official live release captures the group’s July 11, 2001 performance in Boulder Colo., and is joined by the simultaneous release of a live video of the concert in both DVD and VHS format. The collection features over two-and-a-half hours of music, according to a press release. The set comes less than four months after the group released its most-recent studio effort, “Busted Stuff.” The group will back the new release with a round of December concert dates.

Justin Timberlake - “Justified” (Jive)
The ‘NSync member’s first solo album is available in a regular jewel box version and a limited edition digi-pack version; both include a fold-out poster featuring pictures of the singer. Timberlake’s interview with 20-20’s Barbara Walters airs on Monday (11/4) on ABC-TV, and he appears on MTV’s Total Request Live on Tuesday (11/5), on BET’s 106 and Park on Thursday (11/7) and on NBC’s Today show on Friday (11/8). Samples from the album are streaming at Jive Records’ Timberlake website.

The Wallflowers - “Red Letter Days” (Interscope)
“Red Letter Days” follows 2000’s “Breach,” which failed to live up to the high sales expectations set by its predecessor, the four-million-plus-selling 1996 release “Bringing Down the House.” Frontman Jakob Dylan played most guitar parts on the new album, and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam contributed a few licks. Founding guitarist Tobi Miller, who left the Wallflowers in 1996, produced “Red Letter Days” with Bill Appleberry (Adema, 7th House).

Willie Nelson & Friends - “Stars & Guitars” (Lost Highway)
The prolific and ever-touring Nelson’s latest is a live set that was recorded in April at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Guests featured on the album include Jon Bon Jovi, Keith Richards, Norah Jones, Dave Matthews and others, according to Lost Highway’s official “Stars & Guitars” website. The site features streaming samples of all of the album’s tracks, as well as information about a companion television special that CMT will air throughout November.
