Troy

2011 collection from the American Soul diva. This career-spanning anthology takes US from her debut single, released as Doris Payne in 1960, through to a super Bobby Bland-style duet with James Hunter recorded in 1996. The collection kicks off with 1965's 'I'll Do Anything (He Wants Me to Do)', her much-loved Northern Soul anthem, and concludes with a track from the London run of Mama I Want to Sing, the award-winning stage show based on Doris' life. Doris' classic Atlantic period is represented by her classic hit singles 'Just One Look' and 'What'cha Gonna Do About It', plus a further eight titles, including two album cuts and 'But I Love Him', a rare B-side released only in the UK.

The Trojan War was a legendary battle, fought between the Spartan king Menelaus and Paris, Prince of Troy, over Helen, the woman so beautiful that 'her face could launch a thousand ships'. The setting for the final showdown was the fabled city of Troy. But did it ever exist and did the war really happen?

In the Fade is the new film by German director Fatih Akın (Soul Kitchen) with Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds). Katja’s life falls apart when her husband and son die in a bomb attack. After mourning and injustice, the time for revenge will come. The title of the film was inspired by the song In The Fade by Queens of the Stone Age (included in the album Rated R). Director Fatih Akın said, "When I was writing the film, I listened to the Queens of the Stone Age a lot. Their music has something fatalist that fits well with the world of film. I had in mind several of their titles that I wanted to put in the film, and the music supervisor then suggested that I ask them to compose the original music.

“Having travelled across Australia many, many times I always remember the miles in a car or truck or bus the fondest because I always had music on in the background to help paint the pictures of the landscape on my way through or had a set of headphones on in a greyhound bus heading to some musical adventure that I organised. These songs represent movement in wherever you go, you can always have music with you. So, whether you’re in a car just about to start a six-hour drive, or you are an interstate truck driver about to do a lot of miles, or you’ve simply just got a caravan on the back of your car and you’re driving until you feel like pulling over somewhere to take in a part of this incredible country, this album is perfect! This collection of songs played in a simple acoustic manner, some of them with my daughter, can help paint the picture while you are making your own memories out on the road somewhere, or you could be sitting at home dreaming up where to go next. I hope these songs give you some ideas of where to take those dreams. Please enjoy 50 Songs 50 Towns.”
