BEAR FAMILY RELEASES AMAZING FREDDIE KING 7CD BOX

Bear Family release a 7-CD LP size box with a 104 pages hardcover book. 168 tracks are spread across 7cds with a playing time 549:28 minutes. The set is due on 15 july.

Everything the legendary electric blues guitarist cut in the studio from 1956 to 1973 for El-Bee, Federal, King, Cotillion-Atlantic, and Leon Russell’s Shelter Records! Every killer instrumental he waxed during his early 1960s hitmaking heyday, including ‘Driving Sideways’, ‘Wash Out’, ‘Low Tide’, and ‘Remington Ride’ plus his original hit recordings of ‘Hide Away’, ‘Lonesome Whistle Blues’, ‘San-Ho-Zay’, ‘I’m Tore Down’, and his piledriving ‘Going Down’! Seven completely full discs including early rarities and previously unreleased alternate takes of some of his best-known Federal classics including ‘You’ve Got To Love Her With A Feeling’, ‘Have You Ever Loved A Woman’, and ‘See See Baby’, plus previously unissued Federal Recordings. An entire unissued 1968 demo session cut in Dallas that includes his rendition of J. B. Lenoir’s ‘The Mojo’ (available in no other studio version). Incredible unpublished photos and memorabilia plus comprehensive liner notes from Bill Dahl! — Freddie King, the legendary Texas Cannonball, was one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time whose fiery style laid the foundation of modern rock guitar. ‘Rolling Stone’ placed him #25 on the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time because he profoundly influenced Eric Clapton (who recorded several of King’s songs including ‘Hide Away’, ‘Have You Ever Loved A Woman’, ‘I’m Tore Down’), Jeff Beck (‘The Stumble’), Stevie Ray Vaughan (‘Hide Away’), and many others. — ‘He was the guy’ said Jimmie Vaughan. ‘He was powerful. It was unbelievable. And I never heard anyone play louder back then!’ — ‘If I’m building a solo,’ said Eric Clapton, ‘I’ll start with a Freddie King line. Of all the people I played with, he was the most stimulating.’ — Of the three seminal postwar blues guitarists answering to the name of King, Freddie King brought the highest energy levels to his studio exploits and probably influenced most rock axemen of all, including Eric Clapton and Jimmie Vaughan. King’s innovative Texas/West Side Chicago hybrid approach was absolutely unique, and his double-threat hitmaking career as singer and instrumentalist was unmatched. No blues guitar god ever threw more of his muscular physique into his incendiary fretwork. And what a commanding, emotionally charged voice he had! This epic collection brings together for the first time in one spectacular box every released studio recording Freddie King made from 1956 to 1973. It includes both sides of his rare debut single for tiny El-Bee Records, a slew of Federal alternate takes (several previously unheard), and an entire unissued demo session from 1968 consisting of Freddie’s only known studio rendition of J.B. Lenoir’s The Mojo, and three dynamite untitled instrumentals. Everything King subsequently had out on Cotillion and Shelter is here, too. – There have been many Freddie King ‘Greatest Hits’ packages on the market over the decades focusing on one chapter of his career, but this is the ultimate tribute to one of the most influential blues guitarists the genre has ever seen. Nothing like it has ever been attempted, and no dedicated blues fan can live without it!

SONNY LANDRETH LEVEE TOWN 2CD EXPANDED EDITION

The Mississippi-born slide guitar specialist spent most of his childhood across the way in Louisiana, soaking up the Cajun and zydeco influences that have always been present in his recordings. Landreth’s career ignited in the late 1970s, as sideman to Clifton Chenier, followed by a stint with Michael Doucet’s Beausoleil. The latter fiddler appears as one of this album’s host of guest players, which also includes another old employer, John Hiatt, as well as the omnipresent Bonnie Raitt. As expected, it’s Landreth’s sliding flash that presides over the self-penned tunes, his burning, skidding tootles and hot yowling licks repeatedly lifting each track into the red. Landreth’s song writing often tends towards nondescript rock, but his narrative lyrics have substance, crying out for some harder melodic content. Joe Mouton’s accordion and frottoir (rubboard) add authentic spice to “The U.S.S. Zydecoldsmobile”, while “Broken-Hearted Road” travels from sparse slugging to smoking frenzy. Axe fiends can rejoice in the instrumental “Spider-Gris” and “Z. Rider”, then the closing “Angeline” and “Deep South” bring on a soul horn section, adding yet another flavour to this Southern stew.

Sonny’s magnificent, and star-studded album from 2000 gets a welcome re-issue this time with a bonus CD containing five previously unreleased tracks. Levee Town not only combines his poetry and phenomenal slide guitar playing but also features the talents of special guests John Hiatt & Bonnie Raitt. This set coincides with a short tour to Europe in May when he is booked in for a BBC session with Paul Jones. It also follows in the succesful wake of his 2008 album From The Reach.Sonny Landreth is a one-of-a-kind slide guitarist. His unique Zydeco/ blues/ swamp- rock style has allowed him to collaborate with artists as diverse as Clifton Chenier, Mountain and Mark Knopfler. Sonny’s talent has been compared to some masterful contemporaries such as Ry Cooder and David Lindley, and on “Levee Town” Sonny reaches the pinnacle of his career, it is an amazing musical and poetic tale of life in Louisiana. Every song is a Sonny original and “Levee Town” boasts the strongest vocal performance of Sonny’s career to match his guitar virtuosity.

Tracks: CD1; Levee Town/This River/The U.S.S. Zydecoldsmobile/Love And Glory/Broken Hearted Road/Spider-Gris/Godchild/Turning With The Century/Z. Rider/Soul Salvation/Angeline/Deep South.

CD2; Bonus Disc – Pedal To Metal/For Who We Are (The Night Bird Sings)/Road A Plenty/Old Flame/Fare You Well.

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL COVERS CD

Creedence Covers The Classics due 25th May via Concord

Creedence Clearwater Revival built up a vast arsenal of covers during their lengthy apprenticeship in the local Bay Area music scene (as Tommy Fogerty & the Blue Velvets, and then later as The Golliwogs) by the time they emerged on the national stage in 1968.

Harkening back to the 1950s “Golden Age of Rock ‘n’ Roll” during their heyday, CCR hardly missed an opportunity to salute their musical heroes whenever they could.

This collection brings together for the very first time their classic covers.

Track by Track:

1. Good Golly Miss Molly – A top ten hit for Little Richard back in 1958, CCRs version appeared on their second album, Bayou Country, in January of 1969. A worthy heir to the patented Little Richard scream; John Fogerty’s vocals cut right through and leave no prisoners.

2. I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Single Edit) - A massive Motown hit for both Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight and The Pips, CCR put their own spin on this Motor City classic on 1970′s Cosmo’s Factory. Released as a single in 1976 to commemorate their greatest hits collection Chronicle, this rare edit is making its U.S. CD debut on this collection.

3. Hello Mary Lou - Coupled with Travelin’ Man, Hello Mary Lou’was Ricky Nelson’s lone double A-side single taking it all the way to #1 in 1961. CCR’s countrified take appeared on 1972′s Mardi Gras, and foreshadowed the roots music direction that would dominate much of rock music for the rest of the decade.

4. Susie Q (Single Edit) - CCR’s first charted single (going to #11 in the fall of 1968) and a highlight of their debut long player was a cover of the 1957 Top 20 Dale Hawkins classic. Often mistaken for a CCR original, Susie Q, is the cover most closely associated with the band.

5. The Midnight Special - First appearing on Willy and the Poor Boys in 1969, John Fogerty’s arrangement of this traditional American folk song (made famous a generation earlier by Leadbelly) became an immediate CCR classic and a live staple for John to this day.

6. Ooby Dooby - Rock nRoll Hall of Famer Roy Orbison made his chart debut with this unlikely rockabilly number back in 1956. CCR’s rendition of this jukebox classic appeared on 1970′s Cosmo’s Factory.

7. The Night Time Is the Right Time - A rollickin call-and-response gospel-infused side made famous by The Genius of Soul, Ray Charles, in 1959. CCR brought it on home on the Green River LP ten years later.

8. Cotton Fields - Leadbelly’s (aka Huddie Leadbetter’s) folk perennial gets a country & western make-over on this beloved album track from Willy and the Poor Boys. John Fogerty’s layered harmony vocals give an added poignancy to Leadbelly’s lyrics.

9. Ninety-Nine and a Half - The wicked Mr. Wilson Pickett’s 1966 R&B mover got the CCR makeover on their ’68 debut platter. Fogerty’s urgent vocals add to the energy, proving the band could hold their own against the best Memphis had to offer.

10. Before You Accuse Me - The band saw fit to pay homage to rock n roll’s original innovator by including this Bo Diddley classic (who first recorded it in 1957) on Cosmo’s Factory in 1970.

11. My Baby Left Me – There isn’t a band working today who doesn’t owe a debt to The King – Elvis Presley. CCR repaid theirs in full on Cosmo’s Factory with the straight ahead cover of the 1957 Presley classic (which originally appeared as the B side of I Want You, I Need You, I Love You).

12. I Put a Spell on You - The lead-off cut from CCR’s debut. Just as guttural as Screamin Jay Hawkins 1957 original and twice as primal. Another cover they would forever make their own, it is rock ‘n’ roll in its purest and best form.

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL THE CONCERT 40th ANNIVERSARY CD

Due 25th May via Concord

Creedence Clearwater Revival were made of different stuff. As their name suggests, they were dedicated to bringing back the clear, clean, honest spirit that rock and roll started with. Rock & roll came up from the streets and gutters of Memphis, the swamps of Louisiana, and the roadhouses of Texas; places where you had to be able to play damn well if you wanted to survive.

Those who know their history need no reminding that when Creedence emerged on the Bay Area music scene in the late Sixties, they already had a decade’s experience behind them as the Golliwogs, and before that as the Blue Velvets, playing and paying their dues in an endless succession of bars, teen clubs, fairs, dances, pizza parlors, shopping centers, lounges, frat parties, and so on.

They were, in a sense, the last of the great rock and roll bands. They had the superb tightness which only this amount of experience can bestow, and what’s more, their taste and instincts were as pure as their roots. I recall clearly their first appearance at the Fillmore. Not having charted any hits yet, they offered the ecstatic audience an hour or more of classic rock and roll as we’d never heard it before. Words of raw genius from the Fifties that has inspired John Fogerty so much in his youth proved their durability as Creedence used them as vehicles for some of the most intense guitar jamming the experienced ears of the Fillmore crowd had ever been exposed to.

As time went on and they racked up their incredible chain of hits, the live shows changed. By 1970 they had enough hits of their own to fill a complete set, and the stretching-out was saved for the end, where the longtime closing number, “Keep on Chooglin’,” allowed them to rock it up and leave everyone on their feet. It was a song no one could keep still to, and it generated such a good-time feeling that an audience just naturally ended up dancing in the aisles or on the seats.

Such was certainly the case at the Oakland Coliseum on the night of Saturday, January 31, 1970, when the concert on this record was taped.

CROSBY STILLS NASH ‘DEMOS’ CD

The Legendary Group Kicks Off A Summer Tour with The Release Of A Collection Of Group And Solo Demos, Including Early Versions Of “Marrakesh Express,” “Almost Cut My Hair,” “Long Time Gone” And “Love The One You’re With”

Album Available from Rhino June 2

LOS ANGELES – As members of one of rock’s first supergroups, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash helped define the Woodstock generation through their peerless harmonies, resonant songwriting and deep commitment to political and social causes. The trio will tour this summer in both the U.S. and Europe, with more dates to be added to the U.S. leg. In between the late-spring North American and early summer European segments of the tour, Crosby, Stills & Nash will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 18 in New York City, and before the tour begins, Rhino will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the group’s early days with a collection of 12 previously unreleased demos recorded between 1968 and 1971. CROSBY, STILLS & NASH DEMOS will be available June 2.

While many demos feature members performing solo, the opening cut includes all three harmonizing on the Nash-penned hit “Marrakesh Express,” recorded four months before the release of the trio’s eponymous debut in 1969. Crosby and Stills can be heard on another song from that blockbuster album, “Long Time Gone.” The two recorded the demo in June 1968, just a few weeks before Nash joined the group.

Neil Young, whose arrival in 1969 launched CSN&Y, performs with Crosby and Nash on “Music Is Love,” a song the three cowrote that appeared on Crosby’s 1971 solo debut, If I Could Only Remember My Name. Crosby flies his “freak flag” alone on the anthemic “Almost Cut My Hair,” a track featured on the group’s 1970 #1 album Déjà Vu. Stills performs unaccompanied on a 1968 demo of “My Love Is A Gentle Thing.” Recorded in 1968, the song was never released on a studio album, although a 1975 recording of the track did surface in 1991 on the boxed set CSN.

More than half of CROSBY, STILLS & NASH DEMOS comprises early versions of songs destined for solo projects that each member focused on following the success of Déjà Vu. Stills released his self-titled debut in 1970, which introduced “Love The One You’re With,” his biggest solo hit to-date and a live favorite. Stills recorded this version in April 1970, more than six months before recording the album version in London. Another Stills demo, “Singing Call,” features a song that would appear on his follow-up, Stephen Stills 2.

Nearly all of the tracks on CROSBY, STILLS & NASH DEMOS were recorded at Wally Heider studios, a popular recording destination on the West Coast for everyone from Jefferson Airplane to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Nash chose Heider’s studio to record his 1971 solo debut, Songs For Beginners, demoing much of the album there as well. This collection includes three of those demos: “Sleep Song,” “Be Yourself,” and the politically charged “Chicago.” For more information on Crosby, Stills & Nash and for updated tour information, please visit www.crosbystillsnash.com.

QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS LIVE IN UKRAINE CD AND DVD

Queen + Paul Rodgers Live in Ukraine Release date: June 15th

Formats:  DVD AMARAY BOX 2CD Album + DVD Limited Edition  TIN BOX 2CD Album + DVD + T-SHIRT Digital Download (Audio only)

When it comes to taking on logic-defying challenges, Queen have never fought shy: think Hyde Park, Latin America, Live Aid. All these years later, Queen are still living adventurously. Here’s the case in point: just weeks ahead of the start of the band’s 2008 Queen + Paul Rodgers’ The Cosmos Rocks tour the band were approached to help Ukraine’s AntiAids Foundation reach out to the youth of the country with the message ‘Don’t Let Aids Ruin Your Life”.

In a country facing the highest rising rate of infection throughout Europe, it is a message which cannot wait. For Queen + Paul Rodgers – already well prepared for a tour opening with two nights at Moscow’s SCO arena, it would mean some drastic rethinking. The venue on offer was Kharkov, Ukraine’s, historic Freedom Square, a place so big that during World War II it was used to land planes. For the band and crew it meant “Everyone had to run very fast, very suddenly, but then most of the great and worthwhile things in your life are a little dangerous.” Despite the seeming impossibility of it, Queen + Paul Rodgers made it to Freedom Square for the night of September 12, 2008.

Over 350,000 Ukrainians came to see them play and more than 10million homes watched the show live on television. In all, more than 20 million took part in what the band recall as “an unforgettable experience…one of those rare things in life you know you will never forget. A meeting in Music, but also a coming together to fight a common enemy…”

John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band’s only recorded concert is coming to Shout! DVD on June 23. Filmed live on the eve of the release of Abbey Road, this concert features Lennon paying homage to a couple of his heroes with covers of “Blue Suede Shoes,” and “Dizzy Miss Lizzy,” playing some Beatles (“Yer Blues” and “Money”) and the now-classic “Give Peace A Chance.” Also included on the disc is an interview with Yoko Ono from 1988.

John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band Live In Toronto ’69 is a rare look at one of the world’s most influential popular artists at a pivotal moment in his career. Filmed on the eve of the release of the Abbey Road LP — the last Beatles album to be recorded — this is the only performance ever caught on film of John Lennon & the Plastic Ono Band.

It had been three years since Lennon had performed onstage with The Beatles. Seemingly on a whim, John and wife Yoko Ono hopped on a plane with guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Klaus Voormann and drummer Alan White to travel to the Toronto Rock ’N’ Roll Revival festival showcasing some of Lennon’s early musical heroes — among them Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. As it turned out, Lennon and the newly formed Plastic Ono Band played an equally significant role that night in the history of rock ’n’ roll, as it is widely believed this concert foreshadowed the official end of The Beatles.

Captured by Academy Award®–nominated director D.A. Pennebaker (The War Room,Don’t Look Back, Monterey Pop), this concert film serves as one of the great historical documents in the career and life of John Lennon.
