 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live , from Zac Harmon & The Drive and it's super! Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar. Terrific opener. Blue Pill Thrill has super movement and soulful vocals by Harmon. Lacy on keys works the rhythm with Robinson and Iglehart and Livingston and and Harmon play stinging riffs on guitar really giving this track some kick. Deep blues track, Feet Back On The Ground features Albert King like stinging riffs and super soulful vocals by Harmon. Keeping the music floor low allows Harmon plenty of space to go dynamically from soft to wow quickly adding real emotion to the track. Excellent! Boogie Down is a strong jam with a firm piano base by Lacy giving Harmon plenty of headroom for vocal corralling. Lacy lays in some real tasty keyboar...

From Varèse Sarabande Records  and Universal Music Distribution Due to unforeseen manufacturing issues the Genesis vinyl album From Genesis To Revelation will, unfortunately, not be ready to ship in time for this year’s Record Store Day.  Varese has been working diligently with our manufacturer Erika Records to resolve the problem. While checking test pressings in quality control, both of us found points that did not meet with either of our production standards.   Fortunately, the album will be available to release for Black Friday in the fall.  This is the first time this album will be available on vinyl since its original U.S. release in 1974. The album features the original multi-platinum-selling core Genesis line-up of Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips, and Peter Gabriel.

New Release from Varèse Sarabande Records

New Release from Varèse Sarabande Records  and Universal Music Distribution Available March 11th, 2014   Pure, haunting, meditative, somber, simple and classic: The Everly Brothers’ 1958 Songs Our Daddy Taught Us made a seminal artistic statement without pretension. A concept album before there was such thing; a return to basics before rock music had even matured. It all came naturally to Don and Phil Everly, the chart-topping brothers, recording stars aged just 21 and 19 respectively. Every extant session tape from the August 1958 sessions for Songs Our Daddy Taught Us was reviewed for this reissue. Alternate takes of four of the songs – “Roving Gambler,” “Down In The Willow Garden,” “Barbara Allen,” and “Put My Little Shoes Away” – were selected as bonus tracks and are all, heretofore, unissued. Of particular note are rough early takes of “Down In The Willow...
