The Rock House

Sharing her new EP ‘Chewing Cotton Wool’ today, The Japanese House - aka Amber Bain - is unveiling two previously unreleased singles ‘Sharing Beds’ and ‘Dionne’ featuring Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. The four-track EP also includes previous releases ‘Chewing Cotton Wool’ and ‘Something Has To Change’, and marks her first body of work since her 2019 debut record ‘Good At Falling’. Taking to Twitter, Amber added, “Excited to finally release Dionne and Sharing Beds, the remaining songs on the Chewing Cotton Wool EP. These songs for me punctuate the stages of coming out of a relationship and entering into a new phase.”

The Animals are an English rhythm and blues and rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s. The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No. 1 hit single, "House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "I'm Crying" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-orientated album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US.

Rock House Blues, the 6th album from LenCat, could have just as easiliy been called the Bar Band Blues. It celebrates the life and good times of our local pub/lounge/tavern/bar/dive/night club life. As long as there's a stage and some lighting LenCat will play to the crowd, bring out the best in them and deliver a hometown feel-good night. Just listen to those last 3 cuts loosely recorded at some of the Bay Area's finest Rock and Blues establishments. For over 25 years LenCat has performed, recorded and rocked in the Bay Area. Sometimes they're bluesy and soulful. Sometimes they're hard rockin', Sometimes they're weird and warped. But they are always entertaining! LenCat is Len Callo on Guitar and vocals, Rob Barry on Bass, A.J. Leddy on Drums and, for this album, very special guest harpist, the world renowned Andy Just. Rounding out the great Harp Corp is Earl Smith and John Franks.

Canned Heat 1967-1976: The Boogie House Tapes is a double-disc set, assembled by drummer Adolfo de la Parra, the only remaining member of the original '60s band, and Canned Heat collector Walter de Paduwa; it's a compilation of some previously "lost" studio and live performances of the indefatigable boogie band. While hardcore fans will rejoice hearing the great Alan Wilson, who appears on roughly half of these tracks, in his prime, it's still a very mixed bag. Guitarists Harvey Mandel and Henry Vestine are featured prominently, as is vocalist Bob "the Bear" Hite who, along with drummer de la Parra, is the only constant band member across these two CDs.

In Memoriam. Larry Coryell, a guitarist who played rock 'n' roll as a teen but wound up pioneering jazz-rock fusion starting in the mid-1960s and then psychedelic fusion in the early '70s, died on Feb. 19. He was 73. RIP Mr. Coryell. In the 1970s, Germany's Radio Bremen simulcast a series of modern jazz concerts from all across the spectrum, and wisely archived them. Record producer Consul Bodo Jacoby was looking for a new project after losing the rights to reissue the MPS catalog and recalled them. His Promising Music label is issuing a number of these vintage performances in what he calls the Livelove series, of which January 1975 is the first volume.

Steeped in the sounds of classic blues, soul, and rock & roll from the '50s and '60s, Vintage Trouble fuse the style of the past with the swagger and cool of the present day, and have won a devoted fan following in the United States and the United Kingdom with their passionate live show. Vintage Trouble were formed in 2010 by vocalist Ty Taylor, guitarist Nalle Colt, bassist Rick Barrio Dill, and drummer Richard Danielson, all of whom were living in Los Angeles, California at the time. Taylor had previously worked with the bands Dakota Moon, Camp Freddy, and Ghosthounds, and was a contestant on the music competition series Rock Star: INXS. Swedish-born guitarist Colt had briefly been part of Dakota Moon's road band, and had also been part of the short-lived Ghosthounds.
