Grammy-nominated Kim Richey returns with her first album of new music in six years. The album's 10 tracks share a common thread of nostalgia and longing for times gone by. The album, except for one song, was produced by Doug Lancio in Nashville. Piano, fugel horn, pipe organ and acoustic guitars elevate these songs to a place that defies genre, but live somewhere in the folk, country, rock universe and illustrate what an incredible songwriter and singer Kim Richey is.
Drawing heavily on her early-'80s peak, when she spent nine weeks at number one with "Bette Davis Eyes," Gypsy Honeymoon: The Best of Kim Carnes may not be a definitive collection, but it nevertheless is a first-rate one, containing the majority of her best-known songs. There's "Bette Davis Eyes," plus "Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer," "More Love," "Mistaken Identity," and "Crazy in the Night (Barking at Airplanes)." While "Draw of the Cards" and "Voyeur" should have been here, this still winds up being a fairly satisfying collection for most casual fans.
Kim Sixx, from Aarhus in Denmark, was one of the most remarkable female fronted Heavy Metal bands of the 80s. Unfortunately the band’s career was cut short because the singer, Kim Power Baby Sixx (Lone Kim Jensen) suffered a deadly accident. Kim Sixx only released two demos and an extremely sought after vinyl single.This album contains all these releases as well as 8 more unreleased songs.
The joint programs of the Polish cellist Anna Mikulska and the French-Spanish pianist Philippe Argenty are always of a colorful lightness in their special compilation and inspired by the claim to present classical music as a contemporary form of expression. And their success proves them right. The two artists have already given concerts in renowned concert halls in France, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Norway, Poland, China and Germany.
Large industrial complexes, built of solid brick tell the story of industrialization of 19th century Leipzig. Where spinning wheels once rattled, chimneys smoked and thousands of workers carried out their daily work, new life has moved in over the past few years. Today, former factories are home to artists' studios, galleries and manufactories.
