Big Round Records is proud to present Berl Olswanger in the Studio, a piano-centric album that transports listeners back to 1950’s Memphis TN where the late artist captured a number of exuberant works. Olswanger delivers music that fortifies his moniker as “Mr. Music of Memphis,” capturing the popular sounds of the era with a smooth balance of energetic musicality and technical proficiency. From the strong stride piano solo in Chicken Bone Man and fluttering fills in Tennessee Skidoo, to the tender ballads I Spend My Day with Thee and Snow Falling, Olswanger once again solidifies his status as a legend in this release.

Welcome to the sweet-but-savory, suspiciously sticky, and slightly sinful world of old-school movie theater intermission messages.

Elvis Aaron Presley[a] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), often referred to mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Known as the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Presley's energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy.

It has been a busy year for local Kingsville singer and musician Rick Stephenson and it’s set to get even busier! In May, Rick released his fourth album Reflections In The Wee Small Hours.

Rick referred to it as his “labour of love,” a fresh and modern approach to the original 1955 album by Sinatra.

Enjoying great success in music, film, television, and the stage, Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. A member of the legendary Rat Pack, he lived and died the high life of booze, broads and bright lights, always projecting a sense of utter detachment and serenity; along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and the other chosen few who breathed the same rarefied air, Martin – highball and cigarette always firmly in hand – embodied the glorious excess of a world long gone, a world without rules or consequences.

During the fifties, pretty Lu Ann Simms came to prominence in the very popular, highly rated Arthur Godfrey show on US television. During her time with the show, she produced a number of best selling singles. They are all presented here, from the waltz-time lament "Moving Away" to "You Can't Measure My Love".
