Brautigan

Listening To Richard Brautigan was the first and only album released by poet and writer Richard Brautigan. The album was recorded and originally meant for release in 1969 on The Beatles' Apple Records subsidiary, Zapple. The label released works by George Harrison and John Lennon & Yoko Ono, but it only went as far as two releases before The Beatles' manager at the time, Allen Klein, decided to shelve its release, despite it getting an acetate made by Apple. The album would be released by EMI subsidiary Harvest Records. This comes from a CD release made by Collector's Choice in 2005.

À en croire son patronyme, on pourrait prendre Peter Kingsbery pour un britannique pur jus. Et pourtant, en dépit d’un nom fleurant bon le chapeau melon, les clubs de Coven Garden et le five o’clock, celui-ci n’en est pas moins un authentique Texan, né à Austin. Bien qu’ayant été élevé dans le culte du piano classique, de Ludwig van Beethoven et de Frédéric Chopin, c’est à la guitare qu’il fait ses premières armes devant des publics composés d’étudiants réfractaires, comme lui, à la guerre du Vietnam.

For fans of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt. Recorded by Greg Ashley (Gris Gris) and features Marissa Nadler as guest vocalist. This Is Another Life is the sophomore solo album from Dutchess & The Duke songwriter, Jesse Lortz. Case Studies is the musical project of Jesse Lortz, a prolific Seattle based musician. His lyrics wax and wane with truth bare tales from his life. Melodies surface as lines hummed in the in-between times. These easy melodies coat the heavy subject matter of suicide, heartbreak, grief and regret. As with his previous project, The Dutchess and the Duke, listening to Case Studies feels like taking part in an exploration of sentimental landscapes.

Michael Cooper (born 24 August 1942) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. Initially coming to attention as a country blues performer, his later work also straddles jazz, Polynesian, ambient, and various experimental and improvisational styles.

50:fifty is the new release by Melbourne five-piece instrumental ensemble cleverhorse. Led by composer/guitarist Robbie Melville, the band cites influences from ambient to avant-garde, funk to folk, jazz to jam band and world music.

Over their 20-odd year discography, Joan of Arc's astute, endlessly probing musical experimentation has been chorused by a barrage of voices, mostly from the singular larynx of mainstay Tim Kinsella. Richard Brautigan, Mark Twain, Elizabeth Taylor, and Assata Shakur might visit his lyrics, but it's the band itself that contains multitudes. Ever since Joan of Arc's most recent lineup Kinsella, Theo Katsaounis, Melina Ausikaitis, Bobby Burg, and Jeremy Boyle began playing shows together in 2015, fans have witnessed an even more radical democracy at work. Live, old jams and new tracks have often melted and mutated, members jumping from instrument to instrument in between or in the middle of songs, all stasis discarded.

"The Payback" is the 37th studio album by American musician James Brown. The album was released in December 1973, by Polydor Records. It was originally scheduled to become the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem, but was rejected by the film's producers, who dismissed it as "the same old James Brown stuff." (A widely repeated story - including by Brown himself - that director Larry Cohen rejected the music as "not funky enough" is denied by Cohen). It went to #1 on the Soul Albums chart for two weeks and cracked the Pop Albums chart in the Top 40. It was Brown's only studio album to be certified Gold. "The Payback" is considered a high point in Brown's recording career, and is now regarded by critics as a landmark funk album.
