Australia’s greatest and most enduring songwriter, Paul Kelly, brings fans ‘Songs From The South 1985-2019’, a collection of songs that spans the depth and breadth of his illustrious career including recent studio album releases, ‘Life Is Fine’ and ‘Nature’.

Maximum Swing: The Unissued 1965 Half Note Recordings is the first official release of the complete previously unissued recordings from jazz guitar giant Wes Montgomery with the Wynton Kelly Trio at the famed Half Note jazz club in New York City in 1965 with drummer Jimmy Cobb and bassists Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Herman Wright and Larry Ridley. Including over 2 hours from the original radio broadcasts with host Alan Grant, the deluxe 2-CD set is mastered by Matthew Lutthans. 2023 marks Wes Montgomery’s Centennial (born March 6, 1923), and this is Resonance’s 7th release of Wes Montgomery recordings in cooperation with the estate. Now Wes Montgomery fans can hear the rest of the music from the Half Note that was only broadcast on the radio nearly 60 years ago.

Paul Kelly’s first Christmas album is an extraordinary 22-song double collection that travels across the centuries, from a Latin hymn to well-known carols, from a traditional Irish folk ballad to new Kelly music written for Christmas poems.

When Christmas Comes Around…, the ninth studio album from GRAMMY-winning global superstar KellyClarkson, features a mix of new original songs and Christmas classics, alongside show-stopping collaborations with Ariana Grande (“Santa, Can’t You Hear Me”), Chris Stapleton (“Glow”) & Brett Eldredge( 2020’s hit single “Under The Mistletoe”). The 15-track collection explores a wide range of holiday emotions and experiences anchored by Clarkson’s incomparable vocal prowess, marking her latest album since 2017’s Meaning of Life and her second holiday offering following 2013’s Wrapped In Red.

This third CD of Vance Kelly for Wolf has great music from Vance: Soul, Blues and R&B! On this CD, Vance plays with his Backstreet Blues Band and the great Billy Branch! There are great Blues - "Little Red Rooster" and "Bad Taste in my Mouth" and Soul songs like "Mustang Sally" and "Crying for You".

The trio led by pianist Wynton Kelly, which also included bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, first functioned as the rhythm section of Miles Davis' Quintet in 1958. In 1963, they left Davis' band and spent time as Wes Montgomery's backup group; the unit stayed together until Chambers' death on Jan. 4, 1969, a run of over ten years (Kelly would pass away two years later). Their final studio session, released for the first time domestically by Delmark in 1988, is unfortunately partly hindered by the inclusion of some unsuitable pop songs (including "Say a Little Prayer for Me," "Watch What Happens," "Light My Fire" and "Yesterday"), but typically, the musicians do their best to swing the tunes. Best are "Kelly's Blues" and "Castilian Waltz."

This CD was recorded in Chicago 1998 at ACME Recording. Vance had his own band, the Backstreet Blues Band in the studio and also background singers. There is a mix of Blues, R&B and Soul songs on this CD! "Twenty Four Hours", "Highway, here I come", are some of the best.
