Beach Boy Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:50:00 GMT

Eternal Beach Boy Dennis Wilson's much sought-after 1977 solo album - which Mojo Magazine has heralded as a "buried treasure" -- will return to circulation on the occasion of its 30th anniversary, and the 25th anniversary of Wilson's untimely death in 1983, at age 39.� The double-CD PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE - LEGACY EDITION will arrive in stores June 17th on Caribou/Epic/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.� A vinyl edition of the LP will also be released at the same time, on the Sundazed label.

In 1977, Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue became the first solo LP to be released by a member of the legendary Beach Boys.� Dennis, the band's surfer, drummer and free spirit, emerged from the shadow of his older brother, pop genius Brian Wilson, and shocked the industry with a sound and style unlike any other.� Over thirty years later Pacific Ocean Blue remains arguably the greatest solo work by a Wilson.

"In all those years since Pacific Ocean Blue became a rare gem, I have been eager to make it more widely available," says James William Guercio,� producer and owner of Caribou Records, who served then and now as executive producer.� "The music that caught the ear of critics and fans in 1977 has fallen from popular conscious�ness in the last two decades, and it has long been due this incredible treatment.� The devotion that the Legacy Recordings crew has shown to both the official album and the huge number of unreleased tracks is a testa�ment to the strength of Dennis' musical genius."

Dozens of musicians and singers collaborated on the Pacific Ocean Blue and Bambu sessions, which took place at numerous studios around Los Angeles, Seattle, and Miami.� In addition to Dennis Wilson on vocals, drums, percussion, keyboards, and harmonica, there were his wife Karen Lamm-Wilson; Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys on guitar and vocal backgrounds; latter day Beach Boys members Billy Hinsche and Bruce Johnston (vocal backgrounds) and Ricky Fataar (drums); Beach Boys engineer Earle Mankey (guitar); and many West Coast session greats.� A host of background vocalists included Christine McVie of Fleeetwood Mac, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of America, Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean, and more.

Patti Labelle "Live In Washington, D.C."

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:00:00 GMT

The electrifying performance of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" that was delivered by two-time Grammy Award winner Patti Labelle at the opening of the 2008 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony brought the entire house to its feet with a well-earned standing ovation.

"If You Don't Know Me By Now" not only set the tone for the evening, but also underscored her decades-long relationship with Philadelphia International founders, producers and songwriters (and fellow Philadelphians) Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, as Patti illuminated the classic 1972 hit by PIR's Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, a long-time staple of her live performance sets.

Turning back the clock nearly three decades to a previously unreleased concert by Patti Labelle in 1982, "If You Don't Know Me By Now" is now a center�piece of LIVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., which takes its rightful place in Patti's discography as her earliest live recording, after she began her solo career five years before.�

LIVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. was produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff (who also serve as executive producers).� This newly discovered treasure will arrive in stores June 10^th on Philadelphia International/Legacy, a division of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAIN�MENT.

Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" Gains Press

"The Very Best of Outlaw Country" In Stores April 1st

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 06:00:00 GMT

The Nashville Underground movement united an influential portion of country music's alienated minority of singers, songwriters, and producers in the early 1970s - and didn't let go. By 1975, when Willie Nelson - relocated outside Austin, Texas for five years by then - released his groundbreaking debut album on Columbia Records, Red Headed Stranger, the movement was no longer underground and had a bold new name: Outlaw Country.

With Willie Nelson as the Godfather, aided and abetted by a mob of Nashville rebels that included Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels, David Allan Coe, Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Paycheck and others, the movement gained the traction it needed to upset the establishment.� The lines between country and Southern rock had been blurred for years, and with the ascendance of the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, there was no looking back.

Three decades later, those artists are the cornerstones of THE VERY BEST OF OUTLAW COUNTRY, a collection in stores and on-line April 1st that gathers together the roots and branches of one of the most enduring genres in country music history. Tracks from Travis Tritt, Gretchen Wilson, and Shooter Jennings, bring this generous 20-song single-CD into the new millennium. A 2-CD version is also available online only as well.

Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" Becomes America's #1 Digital Song

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 07:30:00 GMT

This week, Jeff's 1994 recording "Hallelujah" hit the #1 spot on iTunes' singles chart thanks to America's top-rated network television show, American Idol. It's the first U.S. Number One song on any chart for the revered singer/songwriter, who died May 29, 1997 at age 30.

Jason Castro, a 20-year-old aspiring singer from Rockwall, Texas, performed "Hallelujah" on Tuesday, March 4th before the Idol judges. Although "Hallelujah" has been performed by artists ranging from k.d. lang to Bon Jovi, American Idol judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell both stated that Jeff Buckley's version was their personal favorite. Jason Castro's rendition of the song-combined with the judges' favorable comments-propelled droves of viewers to the iTunes Store to download the original version from Grace, which promptly shot to No. 4 on iTunes singles chart and then over the following weekend continued to climb, finally reaching the coveted Number One position. To date, Legacy Recordings has sold over 565,773 digital downloads of Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah."

"It's a thrill to see Jeff's work being embraced in his own country at this level," says Mary Guilbert, the artist's mother and the chief executor of his estate. "Even though it has been more than a decade since his departure, it was very moving to hear the American Idol judges speak so highly of Jeff. A mother can't help but love that!"

"Hallelujah" appears on Jeff Buckley's Grace: Legacy Edition, a special three-disc set issued by Legacy Recordings in August 2004 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the album's original Columbia release.� Fans can download the track now directly from iTunes.

Carole King's 1971 masterpiece, Tapestry, endures as an artistic benchmark, a cornerstone of '70s pop, and an industry phenomenon.

It was 1958 when she graduated from New York's High School Of Performing Arts (PA), met songwriting partner and future husband Gerry Goffin at Queens College, and signed with Al Nevins and Don Kirshner's Aldon Music (in the legendary Brill Building). Her debut single, "The Right Girl" was released on ABC-Paramount Records in May 1958.

When asked to comment about the impact of Tapestry, Carole King said, "I feel honored that Tapestry has made a difference in small ways and large ways in people's lives around the world. It's been a major part of my life, too," she adds. "As a songwriter, I'm so happy that the songs have held up for all of these years. As a performer, I'm still enjoying playing them live, most recently on my Living Room Tour."

The Living Room Tour was captured live on a double CD as well as a new DVD called "Welcome To My Living Room," both released through King's own Rockingale Records, and available in stores everywhere and through CaroleKing.com.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL, LIVE 1969

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:54:00 GMT

��In the fall of 1969, at the absolute pinnacle of their decade-and-a-half working association - and with two Grammy Awards, four multi-million selling Columbia LPs and nearly a dozen hit singles under their belts, including the #1's "The Sounds Of Silence" and "Mrs. Robinson," and their penultimate album masterpiece, Bridge Over Troubled Water, newly recorded (but not yet released) - Simon & Garfunkel undertook a major North American tour, which turned out to be their last live dates together until 1982.
��The release of SIMON & GARFUNKEL, LIVE 1969 fills a significant gap in the duo's history.� It sheds light not only on their development but on the American cultural and political landscape at the height of the Civil Rights and free speech and Anti-War movements that involved so many of their listeners and concert-goers.� It was, "a time of great extremes, a tumultuous era," Scoppa writes.� "In short, it was an era similar in many ways to the one we're now living through.� We needed Simon & Garfunkel then, and we could very much use their equivalent now, 40 years later."

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:39:00 GMT

Bruce Springsteen has hit the ground running in 2008. Springsteen's new video will see release on the iTunes Store, new tour dates have been announced and 'Magic' is one of the top albums of 2007.

Today, Columbia Records released a "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" bundle exclusively through the iTunes Store. The release marks the premiere of the "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" video and also includes a "Winter Mix" of the song; and a live rendition. Directed by Mark Pellington ("Lonesome Day," Pearl Jam's "Jeremy"), the video was shot in Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, NJ. Click here to download "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" bundle from iTunes

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced an extensive tour schedule for 2008. Their 2007 tour was met with rapturous critical response and rapid sell-outs. The Washington Post proclaimed, "Springsteen and his longtime band were simply great, performing a well-considered set with heightened intensity and a very clear sense of purpose... Springsteen remains one of the most potent live performers in popular music -- largely because he's among the most committed practitioners of the form, draining all of his creative energy every time he's onstage."

'Magic' has received notice on over forty critics' year-end best lists, including Rolling Stone, Blender, Spin, and USA Today, and was named Entertainment Weekly's top album of 2007.

Glenn Gould Fine Art Prints Available at Icon Collectibles

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:33:00 GMT

In 1980, Columbia Masterworks released the "Glenn Gould Silver Jubilee Album," a monumental double-album celebrating the artist's quarter century of the recording for the label. In June of that year, Don Hunstein sat with Gould for his first photo shoot with Gould in more than a decade. Here Hunstein captures Gould, notorious for his eccentric posture and oddly graceful physical movements while performing, literally defying gravity as he leans precariously backwards in a director's chair, his body ready to spring into thin air as he pushes up on the ball of his right foot, one shoe mysteriously absent.

It was also the year that Bob Dylan would pick up a solid-body Fender guitar and send shock-waves through pop culture with his own newly-electrified sound. In December 1965, Dylan, his sunglasses resting atop a Fender Band Master amp, ran through some runs on a well-worn Fender bass guitar for a Don Hunstein photo-shoot at the Columbia Recording Studios.

The Theatrical Debut of I'm Not There and Its Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:35:00 GMT

Only in theaters November 21, I'm Not There is an unconventional journey into the life and times of Bob Dylan. Six actors portray Dylan as a series of shifting personae - from the public to the private to the fantastical - weaving together a rich and colorful portrait of this ever-elusive American icon.

The six actors portraying Dylan (Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Leadger, and Ben Whishaw) along with support from Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and comedian David Cross, each give an incredible performance and really provide a great homage to Dylan's influence not just on music but on pop culture itself.
