Dan Walsh

After two stripped back solo albums, Dan Walsh returns with a brand new album featuring the new Dan Walsh trio with award winning fiddler Ciaran Algar (Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar, Sam Kelly and the Lost Boys) and mandolin maestro Nic Zuppardi (Shackleton Trio).

Joe Walsh's catalog by this point was two albums strong and of a consistently high quality. Despite a change of lineup for So What - a wide range of musicians is used, including the Eagles' Don Henley - the sound is very similar to previous releases. A number of classic Walsh tracks are featured, including a more polished version of "Turn to Stone," originally featured on his debut album, Barnstorm, in a somewhat more riotous style.

Los Angeles, CA (March 4, 2025) – Dan Fogelberg’s seminal second album, Souvenirs, will be celebrated with a special 50th-anniversary release. The album, originally released in 1974, will be available as a 180-gram audiophile vinyl LP (order HERE) and a digitally remastered edition (pre-save HERE) featuring bonus tracks via Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music. Both will be released by Impex Records/Sony Music, in conjunction with Iconic Artists Group. The vinyl reissue, limited to 3,000 numbered copies, will ship on May 30, 2025, while the digital release will be available to stream on all major DSPs on April 4, 2025.

Before his aquilisation, Joe Walsh recorded an outstanding sequence of four albums in the first half of the 70s: 'Barnstorm', 'The Smoker You Get …', 'So What' and the live 'You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind'. Any or all of these albums should be on the shelves of the discerning CD collector. And nearly all of them contain a different version of 'Turn to Stone'!
With 'So What', Joe recorded a wonderful variety of songs, some of which give advance notice of his Eagle-eyed intent: Don Henley, Randy Meisner, JD Souther and Glenn Frey all put in appearances. Death is also stamped across the LP: 'Song For Emma' features maudlin lyrics such as 'You were with us for a while, then he took you, and it made your mama cry'. 'Pavanne' is taken from Ravel – not his Pavanne for a Dead Child, but the Pavanne for the Belle of the Sleeping Wood. It took me ages to find a full orchestral version of the Mother Goose Suite from which this comes, and I have to say I still prefer Joe's version, despite the uncredited string section at the start of the track. Only 'All Night Laundry Mat Blues' is a filler, but great fun.
For me, the stand-out tracks are 'Welcome to the Club', 'County Fair' and 'Turn To Stone', which get closest to the tight band sound he had on the previous album, 'The Smoker You Get …', which is his masterpiece; (whatever happened to Rocke Grace, the pianist who contributed so much to that album?) Kenny Passarelli, on his way to becoming a member of Elton John's band, was a great bassist, and Joe Vitale a superb drummer. Vitale was also a fantastic songwriter, as evidenced on the superb 'Roller Coaster Weekend' which has never been released on CD.

The Eagles are among the artists featured on the upcoming album A Tribute to Dan Fogelberg, which is released on Nov. 17 and available for pre-order now via Amazon and iTunes. The album features new takes on some of Fogelberg’s best-known songs, with the Eagles covering “Part of the Plan," as well as their new recruit Vince Gill delivering “Longer” with Amy Grant

"Results" is the 1989 Liza Minnelli studio album produced by Pet Shop Boys and Julian Mendelsohn. The album was a success in the United Kingdom, where it reached #6 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by BPI (promoted by the lead single, "Losing My Mind," which reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart). Results also reached #13 in Spain and was certified Gold there. The album was less successful in the United States, peaking only at #128 on the Billboard 200.

Dan Romer has recently scored the upcoming sci-fi romance Zoe. The film is directed by Drake Doremus (Like Crazy, Breathe In, Equals) and stars Ewan McGregor, Lea Seydoux, Christina Aguilera, Rashida Jones, Theo James and Miranda Otto. The movie follows two colleagues at a revolutionary research lab who design technology to improve and perfect romantic relationships. Richard Greenberg (The Beauty Inside) has written the screenplay. Doremus is also producing the project with Kevin Walsh (Manchester by the Sea, All the Money in the World), Michael Pruss and Robert George. Ridley Scott serves as an executive producer. Zoe will premiere as the opening night film in April as the Centerpiece Gala of the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival.

This extravagant six-CD set documents the astonishing life span of the first pop independent label in the U.K., Immediate Records. Founded in 1965, Immediate flipped, flopped, and staggered its own way, competing against unhip American labels like EMI and Decca until late 1969. The label, and the documentary CD set, showcases in particular the Small Faces, who enjoyed a brief U.K. number one hit, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. More familiar to American listeners will no doubt be the three-chord sock-hop favorite "Hang on Sloopy" by the McCoys, and a number of covers of familiar American folk-rock hits are present as well. The esoteric collector will appreciate inclusions by such café balladeers as the Poets and Les Fleurs-de-Lis, also signed by Immediate before the advent of the swinging London sound, marked by the Rolling Stones revolution and other mod developers influencing the pants off the tiniest studio cover bands.
