<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Equalling the critical success of
previous releases ‘Fall Changes’ and ‘Imitate the Sun’ (numbers one and two
respectively in Mojo magazine’s Blues Albums of the Year for 2009 and 2011)
will have been a daunting challenge for the Chris Bergson Band; but while a
stop-gap live album re-treading past glories may have seemed tempting and
risk-free, ‘Live at Jazz Standard’ has an altogether weightier ambition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Still a well-kept secret in
commercial terms, Chris Bergson is a serious and important artist. As the
popular music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries matures to the point
where its narrative can be accurately documented and its distinctive cultural
significance finally understood, the architectural foundations upon which it
was first built call for expert curatorial support. Bergson is one of a
dwindling number whose approach to that task is at once respectful, sophisticated
and progressive. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Critically, although embedded
unashamedly in blues, soul, jazz, folk and country, he neither wants to pickle
them in aspic nor dress them up in gaudy rags as if for a children’s party.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In drawing from a deep reverence
and intuitive affection for the indigenous roots of American music Bergson
follows the altogether more nuanced lead of Dr John, the Allman Brothers, and
Little Feat – the Grateful Dead even – who have moved American roots forward through
substantial yet sustainable increments rather than speculative leaps, combining
prowess and dexterity with awareness and erudition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hitherto, Bergson has built
sensibly and to good effect on the Woodstock Vibe template pioneered by The
Band, something few do well. This recording sees the start of a careful but
significant progression, which gives him a more distinctive shape and
individual voice. Stylistically, the set presented here (from which only two songs,
‘Mr. Jackson’ and ‘Gowanus Heights’ feature on recent studio albums) is
altogether bluesier and more soulful, with less of a default to jazz. A change
of keyboard player heralds more prominence for the organ and less bar-room
piano; and horns that previously honked now seem to blast. Both features add
welcome depth to the overall sound. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Bergson’s own guitar playing,
always excellent, is more upfront than before; and in showcasing a range from
acoustic delta to full-on electric rock it often acts in tandem with his vocal
as call-and-response. Bergson’s singing too has always been a remarkable asset,
but past recordings don’t adequately prepare for a performance which is one moment
Brook Benton or Bill Withers and the next the Tom Waits of ‘Christmas Card from
a Hooker in Minneapolis’. ‘High Above the Morning’ could well be the perfect
starting point to hear all this at once, a reflective and soulful song with
voice and guitar dueting like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Wynette, perfectly
underpinned by a wash of brass and organ.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The songs themselves are the familiar
combination of character driven stories (including the aforementioned ‘Gowanus Heights’
Altmanesque cast of Brooklyn faces, and the outstanding ‘Christmas Time in
Bethlehem, PA’), and personal musings (such as deep soul ballad ‘Chloe’s Song’),
occasionally laced with laconic humour (as is ‘Sometimes It’s You’). Range is
impressive too. Opener ‘Greyhound Station’ hits the tracks running with a blues
tour-de-force matching muscular guitar licks with wall-of-sound horns, to be
hotly pursued by the Stax-referencing soul-funk of ‘The Only One’; while ‘Heavenly
Grass’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>pays tribute of a different
kind to the writer’s self-declared influences of Son House, Lightning Hopkins,
and Skip James.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Of the available raw ingredients
Bergson’s preference for merging blues soul and jazz (as against, say,
Springsteen’s leanings towards country, folk and rock and roll) may make his
work less of a commercial proposition than it deserves; but with the growing
confidence, immaculate playing, raw talent and flawless integrity on parade
here, a wider audience and recognition has to be his due before long. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Ike Moriz is one tricky artist to pin down. He
originally made records in London back in the early noughties as part of a new
wave of pop that sprung up in the wake of Britpop, though he always seemed to
take the majority of his musical leads from the pop classicism of the preceding
decades. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Since then he’s relocated to his home-country of
South Africa, where he’s made a name for himself as an interpreter of the Great
American Songbook - and has followed a stylistic bent with roots in the big
bands of the ‘40s and ‘50s, and vocalists like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
By my reckoning “At Last” is his 14th long player, and his first since 2012’s
“Siren Terpsichore”. Now Moriz has taken a new musical direction, and has
discovered a whole new set of roots to explore.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“At Last” is a sincere (and utterly fascinating) take
on a blues style that borrows from both the British boom of the late ‘60s and
early ‘70s, and the jazzier sounds that he’s recently surrounded himself with.
Familiar titles litter the tracklist; “<span class="track-title">Georgia On My
Mind</span>” is super smooth and elegantly soulful, while “Hound Dog” owes
something to Elvis, insofar it rocks, but it swings, too, and Moriz nails both
the arrangement and performance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Opening cut “The <span class="track-title">Devil Is
Real in Your Mind</span>” features some terrific guitar work, and includes
enough bad blues vibe to steer us sensible folk away from the crossroads after
dark, while the title track relies heavily on piano, and feels dense and heavy
like a Southern heat wave. The album concludes with “<span class="track-title">You
Are My Sunshine</span>”, its upbeat message enhanced by fluttery horns and
Moriz’s playful tones.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s good to have him back, whatever style he’s
playing, and I’m already looking forward to the next installment.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Goodness, this 14-track collection sounds remarkably
fresh and full of life - which is a little unexpected as The Nymphs’ sound
harks back to the girl groups of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, rather than anything
overtly contemporary or new. Of course, it’s their sheer melodicism that
carries the day, and propels the listener through a series of songs, drenched
in harmony, and solely reliant on the vocal prowess of Jane Hendry, Bek
Chapman, Clare Hendry and Kelly Day.</span></div>

beat for the purists to contend with – sublime arrangements underpin their
songs and provide plenty of variety. The Melbourne quartet earned their spurs
in their local bars and hostelries, collecting plaudits and acclaim wherever

luminaries along the way – together with the occasional TV appearance to help
widen their audience even more.</span></div>

dividends on “It’s Been A Long Time Awaiting” - the group’s debut long player. Indeed,
highlights come thick and fast, right from the off, when the opening cut (and
title track) introduces both the complexities of their style, together with what
can only be described as instant pop appeal. New single “Shake” is equally
splendid, with harmonies and vocal interaction that would make Brian Wilson sit
up and take note, while “Grave Shift” indicates a more solemn and sober side to
their sound, without forgoing any of the elements that make them so utterly
enticing. Magical.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The company
will also have to decide how many "plays" of a YouTube video or
Spotify track would count as the equivalent of one sale. </span></div>

be questions about how long a user has to listen to a track before it is
counted - some statisticians equate a 30-second stream to one play, others
prefer only to count users who stream an entire song.</span></div>

who told the magazine that the UK charts risk becoming irrelevant if they don't
begin including streaming soon.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A stalwart of her local New England scene, Lynne
Taylor has been a professional musician since she was 14 years old, playing
solo and in various groupings. When comparisons to other artists are mentioned,
names like Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Sheryl Crow are often referenced, but
there’s also a timelessness to Taylor’s best work – and there’s plenty of it to
be found on “When Lightning Strikes” - to spark memories of Buffy Sainte Marie,
Carole King and a gaggle of revered ‘70s west coast songwriters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Her instrument of choice is the piano, though the
majority of her new songs are presented within a full band setting, where unlikely
rhythms and eclectic arrangements are explored and investigated. It makes “When
Lightning Strikes” a riveting listen, and the listener can expect nothing
except the wholly unexpected. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Butterfly” launches the collection, and its simple,
insistent piano motif is soon added to by a half chanted / half sung vocal and
tempered stings – the effect is simultaneously stimulating, strangely languid
and utterly beguiling. It’s followed by the jaunty, country-rock-wired “<span class="track-title">Back By Suppertime”, a song and delivery that would have sat
perfectly on Gene Clark and Carla Olson’s classic “So Rebellious A Lover”
record - nice guitar solo, too. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="track-title"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A Spanish influence comes
to bear on “Pablo's Glue”, the longest track on the album, where Latin guitars
emphasize the narrative, and the percussion-heavy “Angel That Flew” stretches
Taylor’s vocal chords, and brings to mind aborigine mantra and primal movement.
She’s unafraid to get her hands dirty with a little political comment (“</span></span><span class="album-page-album-note"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Grand Empire</span></span><span class="track-title"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">”) and adds to her palette with the jazz-specked
classicism of “No Words”.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="track-title"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In the hands of a lesser
artist “</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">When Lightning Strikes<span class="track-title">” may
have come across as unfocussed or confused, but not so here. There’s a singular
musical vision behind these eleven tracks, and Taylor must take full credit for
delivering a super album that celebrates and rejoices in its diversity, but is
never distracted by it.</span></span></div>

their first public musical statement - a 3 minute slice of thrilling, primal
rock & roll called 'Figure It Out' that appeared unannounced on the band's
Soundcloud page but was soon picking up serious plaudits.<br />
<br />
Now Royal Blood are pleased to announce details of their debut single.
Available on 7" and download, the self-produced 'Out Of The Black' will be
released on 11th November on Black Mammoth Records. It’s a single that wrings
the maximum amount of noise, aggression and pure youthful exuberance out of the
most minimal of ingredients, featuring nothing more than Mike Kerr's vocals and
bass and Ben Thatcher's drums. </span></div>

the internet that makes you go "wow." It may be a video, picture,
song, band, or anything of the sort. In this case, it's the amazing virtuosity
of Canadian fingerstyle guitarist Ewan Dobson. Ewan Dobson performs finger
picking at it's finest. So much so that his Time 2 YouTube video has so far
received 12.5 million hits and counting. Released as a download single it has
become a global hit.<br />
<br />
Dobson creates classic music, modern music and everything in between with only
his guitar and finger picking. No bass, no drums, no vocals; nothing. It's just
a one man show, and quite honestly, that's all you need. Audiences can expect
masterful command of the acoustic guitar performed like no other can or has yet.</span></div>

UK & US Tours Announced<br />
'Greatest Hits' out now via Night School Records<br />
<br />
Since the release of her first official recordings in late 2013, The Space
Lady's myth has grown larger and more life-like. Emerging from the shadows of cultdom,
she is embarking on her first ever live performances in some of the world's
most venerated venues and spaces. While accustomed to hours of street
performances to bedazzled and bewildered passers-by, The Space Lady's World
Tour 2014 will be the first time she has performed on stage to dedicated
followers.<br />
<br />
Beginning this episode of the saga in Bellingham, USA, The Space Lady will
visit the North West of America before heading down the Californian cost,
ending at a Mount Analogue / Dublab presentation in L.A. From there she will
visit the United Kingdom and Ireland for an intensive mission taking in
Manchester Art Gallery, a Victorian bandstand in Glasgow, Dundee Contemporary
Arts and many other cities. After a summer break The Space Lady will be hitting
mainland Europe. </span></div>

the new and exciting pairing of Bella Hardy (Carthy, Hardy, Farrell and Young)
and Ross Wilson (Blue Rose Code) have each travelled musical roads from very
different origins. Used to playing in a throng of keen Folk musicians, H&W
will be stripping back their sound for the tour and performing together. <br />
<br />
With each taking turn leading a song, expect material from both the Hardy and
the Blue Rose Code cannon as well as songs from The Tradition and their shared
influences of Welch & Rawlings, Dick Gaughan, Patti Griffin and more.<br />
<br />
This collaboration is something really special. Two fantastic musicians coming
from very different musical backgrounds is always a recipe for an exciting gig.
This is no exception. Bella has performed for us many times in various guises
and Ross will be visiting us for the second time.</span></div>

order to celebrate his 60th birthday in 2012, Otway booked the Odeon Leicester
Square to show the documentary of his life. Titled <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie</span></em>, the sell
out screening saw cinematic history made with the final scenes of the movie
being filmed from the red carpet on the morning of the film. The film was
funded by fans becoming producers who, as with the Hit campaign, were all
individually credited in the movie credits. Following the success of the
producers' premiere, 2013 has seen Otway take the completed movie to the Cannes
Film Festival and it has been screened in cinemas throughout the country.
Unlike his albums, the film has been critically acclaimed - receiving a four
star review from The Guardian newspaper - and has been put forward for several
BAFTAs including "British Outstanding Debut".</span></div>

Roddy Walston & The Business - "Essential Tremors"<br />
Out 10th March 2014 via ATO Records<br />
</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />
J. Roddy Walston & the Business release their new album ‘Essential Tremors’
through ATO Records on 10th March. Released in the US last year, the album was
co-produced by Matt Wignall (Delta Spirit, Cold War Kids) and Mark Neill (The
Black Keys) and recorded in Valdosta, Georgia. The band, who recently played a
sold-out show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom, also made their first appearance
on The Late Show with David Letterman a few weeks ago. Displaying trademark
frenzied guitars, raw vocals and piano, listen to album track ‘Heavy Bells'
below...<br />

<br />
Tucked away unassumingly in the town of Valdosta, Georgia is Soil of the South
studios. Between meals of home cooked lasagna and restless nights on thin,
spring-popped mattresses J. Roddy Walston & the Business was the first band
ever to settle in there to record their new album.<br />
<br />
No stranger to the south, lead vocalist, guitarist and pianist J. Roddy Walston
was brought up in the southern church hometown of Cleveland, Tennessee before
relocating to Baltimore where he made the acquaintance of lead guitarist and
vocalist Billy Gordon, bassist and vocalist Logan Davis and drummer Steve
Colmus, now collectively known as The Business.<br />
<br />
‘Essential Tremors’, the band’s third release, is their most far-ranging and
eclectic album to date. Their blend of classic rock & roll emphasised by
rapturous hooks, riffs and rhythms, coupled with Motown flavour and funky charm
brings out a pure Bacchanalian splendour. J. Roddy’s arresting voice and
thumping piano playing travels directly from your eardrums to your bone marrow
as he keens, croons and intones words and music that are at turns lunatic and
mystic. Their relentless touring and trademark spirited live performances have
helped J. Roddy Walston & The Business grow from a grass roots movement
into a band with a loyal and expansive following.<br />
