'Live at the Royal Albert Hall' is Katie Melua's third live album, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 16th May 2023 to a sold-out audience. Bookending Katie's 'Love & Money' tour in 2023, promoting her ninth studio album of the same name, 'Live at the Royal Albert Hall' is a celebration of her remarkable 20-year career to date. Initially postponed from 2020 due to the global pandemic, the concert was the fulfilment of a long-held personal ambition of Katie's. The 21-track setlist takes in beautiful live renditions of some of Katie's best-loved and classic songs, including 'The Closest Thing To Crazy', 'I Cried For You' and 'Nine Million Bicycles', as well as the first live recordings of newer songs like 'Golden Record' and 'Quiet Moves'.
What more can you ask for? Asleep at the Wheel playing on Austin City Limits running through a smoking program of rocking, strolling Western swing tunes – with special guests like Eldon Shamblin, Johnny Gimble, Leon Rausch, and Herb Remington no less. Asleep at the Wheel have performed on Austin City Limits numerous times – including the very first broadcast program back in 1976 – but this show, recorded gorgeously from 1992, is special. The bandmembers are so relaxed, open, and in the groove here that this stands out among their live recordings. It's true that the program is familiar, full of favorites and legendary swing tunes, though "Boot Scoot Boogie" by Brooks & Dunn's Ronnie Dunn is also here. Some of the standouts include "Roly Poly," "Corrine, Corrina," "Blues for Dixie," and the closing read of the Cindy Walker/Bob Wills tune "Sugar Moon."
Oblivion Records is delighted to announce the February 15, 2022 release of Cecil Taylor – The Complete, Legendary, Live Return Concert, marking the first chance for listeners to hear the legendary pianist’s 1973 return to live performance in full. The concert saw Taylor reunite with Cecil Taylor Unit members Jimmy Lyons (alto saxophone) and Andrew Cyrille (percussion), with the addition of Sirone on bass. This project, assembled by the original producer and recording engineer Fred Seibert, is a much-anticipated opportunity to hear the missing piece of a puzzle long-thought lost, that adds another chapter to the story of Taylor’s search for artistic freedom.
