London Records will issue brand new two-CD deluxe editions of the Fine Young Cannibals two studio albums in December. The band’s debut single ‘Johnny Come Home’ was a top ten hit in 1985 and the self-titled debut album reached number 11 in the UK charts the same year after further singles were issued, including a cover of Elvis Presley’s ‘Suspicious Minds’. In 1989, Fine Young Cannibals hit the commercial stratosphere, particularly in America, with The Raw & The Cooked. The first two singles ‘She Drives Me Crazy’ and ‘Good Thing’ both were number one singles in the USA and were top ten hits in Britain (and around the world). The band split in 1992 although they did record a new single, ‘The Flame’, for a 1996 best of.
“A new peak in what’s been a rather mountainous career, Malone’s latest shows off everything that makes him great and more…the kind of record you can listen to over and over, the way records used to be. Great songs, amazing production and playing, it doesn’t get much better than this." FILTER MAGAZINE.“The presence of first-call players like Leland Sklar and Marty Rifkin, alongside the artist’s New Orleans drenched piano, raises the bar for this troubadour. On “Ain’t What You Know,” Bob Malone is clearly in the big leagues.” MUSIC CONNECTION.– by cdbaby

Holliday's heart wrenching torch-song ballad, "And I Am Telling you I'm Not Going" was a show stopping moment in the history of Broadway musicals and catapulted her into international stardom. Holliday recorded five CD's and she has given solo and symphony pops concerts throughout the world.
Like spiritually similar brethren George Thorogood (only with a Tex-Mex flair, natch), the Thunderbirds have released a live disc on the CMC imprint. This appropriately monikered Live does a fine job of displaying the hits, namely "Wrap It Up" and "Tuff Enuff," and that alone would make it a decent primer for the band, though purists would no-doubt be able to find one or a dozen missing gems from the band's vast catalog. Gearheads will appreciate the modern technology used to capture the band's set — this is outlined nicely in the liner notes, though those same liner notes refer to the disc as This Night in L.A., which is bound to create confusion.
This 5 CD / 2 Blu-ray set captures An Evening of Innocence and An Evening of Danger shows which premiered the new NMB songs with a selection of deep cuts and favorite tracks!
