Like their West Coast contemporaries in Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley steadily gained traction in indie pop circles throughout the late '90s and early 2000s before the record industry (and public at large) officially took note. Led by former child actors Jenny Lewis (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Blake Sennett (guitar, vocals), the L.A.-based quartet held its first practice in 1998. Bassist Pierre de Reeder and drummer Dave Brock (later replaced by ex-Foundation Lassie member Jason Boesel) completed the lineup, and a weekly residency at the Spaceland nightclub in Silverlake allowed Rilo Kiley to hone its mix of classic pop, country, torch song, and folk. Collection includes: Take Offs and Landings (2001); The Execution of All Things (2002); More Adventurous (2004); Under the Blacklight (2007).

Recorded April 7th, 1993. Long John Baldry, who now lives in Canada, was one of the figure-heads of the blues explosion in England in the swinging sixties.
Baldry raised his profile as a singer with Alexis Korner's legendary Blues Incorporated. In 1967 the two-meter man went to number one in the British charts with the pop ballad 'Let the Heartaches Begin'. Later on Baldry went firmly back to his roots, using his rough voice to promote unsophisticated blues and blues rock. And as a live entertainer, he is always good for an electrifying show.
