Tony Kent

Swedish vocalist Kent Hilli has announced the upcoming release of his second solo album, "Nothing Left To Lose". Produced by Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire) with co-production by Hilli and Ulrick Lönnqvist, "Nothing Left To Lose" is yet another melodic rock gem from Hilli, who has established himself as one of the premiere vocalists in the genre. Hilli’s debut solo album “The Rumble”, which was produced and written with Michael Palace, was the culmination of the musical path that the Swedish singer started journeying down since he debuted with Swedish melodic rock upstarts Perfect Plan. Kent’s career in music started later in life than your average musician, at the beginning of '00s after he decided to quit his career as a football player.

Produced by Sandy Robertson, 1970's "P.C. Kent" featured all original material; Kent, Richards and Watson responsible for penning all eleven tracks. Musically the set's quite an early-1970s timepiece, bouncing all over the musical spectrum. As lead singer Kent had a likable and versatile voice, that displayed a bit more Cockney accent than normally encountered on Brit LPs. That Brit sense of humor was best displayed on the wild 'drunk driving' ode 'One for the Road'. In spite of the clumsy title 'Little Baby Won't You Please Come Home Honey Child Won't You Just Allow Me One More Chance, Please' started the set off on a commercial high note. A killer melody and performance would have made this a dandy single. Similarly, 'Sweet Suzie Brown Boots', 'I'm Hanging On' and 'After Dark' all had commercial potential.

Ace does it again - of course. These two discs, The Complete Modern and Kent Recordings, contain every side that the young powerhouse Etta James cut for Modern, Crown, and Kent between 1955 and 1961. There are 42 cuts on these two discs, remastered and sequenced painstakingly according to release date. There are no less than seven previously unissued cuts, and two more that have appeared only on Ace compilations. (There's a killer alternate take of "Hey Henry" here that rivals the released version). Fans will have a lot of this material in various places, but this collection puts everything together in one slamming package. The first disc is comprised exclusively of sides recorded for Modern between '55 and '57…
