The Legends

The Legends, aka Labrador Records head Johan Angergård (also of Club 8, Acid House Kings, and many others), will release new album Nightshift on April 22. The album includes The Legends’ recent singles “Cocaine,” “Summer In The City (Living Is For Somebody Else)” and their cover of Chainsmokers’ “Roses.” It also continues Angergård’s fascination with vocoder and light synthpop. Lyrically, though, the forecast is cloudier. “With people like Trump, Putin, and Jinping ruling and ruining the world I need this creative outlet more than ever,” says Angergård. “I don’t know if it’s a happy album… it’s more of an ‘eat-your-SSRIs-and-try-to-enjoy-yourself-FFS!’ kind of record.”

3CD, 58 track compilation cd from EMI featuring tracks from Queen, Abba, Elton John, David Bowie, John Lennon & many more.

Sometimes the bloodlines show up and at other times they explode with a fanfare that shows itself to the world. Lil' Ed Williams traces his heritage back to his uncle, one of the Chicago blues legends, slide guitar master J.B. Hutto. He was tutored by his uncle, and the West Side Chicago blues scene that nurtured him, and readily gives J.B. much of the credit for his prowess. He captures some of that same raw street energy that was his uncle's trademark on many of the tracks on this, his fifth Alligator release. Listen to "The Creeper" to get an idea of the savage fury that he can channel through his slide guitar work. This disc manifests that feel for the blues that can't be taught, but must be both lived and seen from the inside…

This is a group of legendary sidemen with nearly 300 years of combined experience in blues music and history. If you want real blues and real blues history from the guys who have lived it, recorded it, and played it every night with the legends, then just take a look at what these guys have accomplished. A set list we all know and love. Some we may not have heard in awhile performed by the artists who were part of it. This new CD takes us from the Delta to present day. It has already been called " Goldilocks" by radio professionals. From the man who helped put Jimi Hendrix in our lives, to other great sidemen from B.B. King, Gatemouth Brown, Mighty Sam McClain, and the list goes on. This is a true Blues fans CD!
