Ray Charles changed the way the world perceived country music.
Best Of Coutry & Western is a new, stand alone album, with a track-list of iconic songs cherry picked from across Ray's country music recordings. With thoughtful attention to detail, this collection not only showcases Rays unparalleled interpretations of country classics, but also serves as a timely reminder of his role as a cultural pioneer who helped bridge racial divides through the universal language of music.

After experimenting with synthesizers and a pop sound on his solo debut, Don Henley hits the mark on his sophomore release, Building the Perfect Beast. This album established Henley as an artist in his own right after many successful years with the Eagles, as it spawned numerous hits. While the songs seem crafted for pop radio, it's hard to fault him for choosing arrangements that would get his messages to the masses. Unlike most pop in the 1980s, however, Henley had deep intellectual themes layered beneath the synthesizer sounds and crisp production. In the opening song "Boys of Summer," he talks about trying to recapture the past while knowing that things will never be the same. Henley has a gift for writing about the heart and soul of America and for mixing his love for the country and small-town life ("Sunset Grill") with cynicism about government ("All She Wants to Do Is Dance") and modernization ("Month of Sundays"). Although the politics and the sound of the album make the decade of release easy to place, Henley's earnest delivery and universal messages give many of the tracks a timeless feel, which is no small feat. This is Henley's most consistent album, and it is the place to start for those wanting to sample his solo work.

Per il 50° anniversario di carriera, riportiamo la dichiarazione ufficiale di Angelo Branduardi.
In occasione del cinquantesimo anniversario dell'inizio della mia carriera, ho deciso di farmi un regalo con questa straordinaria raccolta che, in quattro cd, celebra il mio viaggio musicale, a suo modo unico. Nei primi tre cd, partendo dal ragazzo magrolino che nel 1974 cantava "Re di speranza" si arriverà fino all'uomo dai capelli bianchi che oggi sono. Questo cammino ripercorre gli anni trascorsi, passo dopo passo, attraverso i brani più celebri ed eseguiti della mia opera, ma andando anche a riscoprire alcune incisioni rare, magari meno conosciute, ma altrettanto amate da me e da chi negli anni ha camminato con me. Il percorso si chiude con il "Kyrie (Signore abbi pietà)", mai pubblicato fino ad oggi su supporto fisico, e con "Piccolo David", un brano del tutto inedito. Il quarto CD è dedicato alla musica di "Futuro Antico", la collana che ho creato e coltivato negli anni per celebrare la musica del periodo medievale e rinascimentale, offrendo una reinterpretazione personale ma filologicamente accurata dei capolavori di quell'epoca. Non mi resta che augurare un buon ascolto a chi già mi conosce e sa tutto di me (e magari potrà riscoprire qualcosa che gli era sfuggito) ed anche a chi non mi conosce ed ha voglia di farlo, questa è una buona occasione. - Angelo Branduardi

C’est un crépuscule et une aube : c’est une nouvelle naissance. Un disque vital, ample, avec lequel Clara Luciani confirme autant qu’elle renouvelle son talent. Car si on connaissait la puissance de cette musicienne, autrice et compositrice - Sainte Victoire (2018, quadruple platine) et Coeur (2021, idem), sacrée artiste féminine aux Victoires de la musique 2020 et 2022 - on découvre, ici, les racines de son élégance de Madone. 'Mon sang', son troisième album, touche au cœur de chacun comme ces paysages de plaines agités par le vent, toujours neufs et pourtant ancestraux.

John Cale was never very kind to his solo debut, Vintage Violence. When it was released in early 1970, Cale had been out of The Velvet Underground for less than two years. He wanted to prove he could be the songwriter, the person penning the words and melodies behind which a band could work. “I was masked on Vintage Violence,” he wrote much later. “You’re not really seeing the personality.” Indeed, Cale’s personality as a polyglot seemingly interested in everything emerged more and more on his next two solo albums, his only two for Reprise: 1972’s bracing and exploratory classical sojourn, The Academy in Peril, and 1973’s masterclass in anxious but accessible songcraft, Paris 1919. By reissuing both records in tandem, it reaffirms the artistic fearlessness Cale then fostered at the edge of 30, when all of music seemed like one inviting playpen.

“Supernatural“ is LIONVILLE’S sixth studio album, following the acclaimed “So Close To Heaven” and shows Lionville's new course with the addition of the singer extraordinaire Alexander Strandell (Art Nation) Melodic rock/AOR fans have always held Lionville in high regard and “Supernatural” will do nothing to dissuade them from this line of thinking.

Here are a dozen hidden gems from the Sahara. Rough hewn, but intimate and beautiful recordings by Tinariwen, the world’s most famous Tuareg band. Some are demos that were later released in more produced versions on subsequent albums and four of them have never been released before. This is music to transport you, music that makes you feel you are in the Sahara with these extraordinary musicians for whom it is their home and their inspiration. These are raw desert treasures, recorded live with no overdubs, that are only emerging into the sunlight with this album of rarities, Idrache, Traces of the Past. With their long desert robes and Tuareg turbans or shesh, Tinariwen are the originators of what’s become known as ‘desert blues’, a style of music they themselves call ‘assuf’ which also means ‘longing’ or ‘homesickness’ in the Tamasheq language. Exchanging Kalashnikovs for guitars after participating in the 1990 Tuareg rebellion, Tinariwian really are rock ’n’ roll rebels, drawing people into their growling vocals, spacey guitar lines and clapping rhythms. The songs on this album were recorded in 2002, 2006 and 2008, the first about a decade after the band started to become known internationally.

Jones, of course, is George Jones, frequently described as the greatest country singer of all time. He had an instinctive ability to inhabit a song totally and embody the emotion of the lyrics. Listening to Jones sing a song is to experience the pain, the loss, the yearning - and sometimes the joy - that Jones himself is feeling as he sings. A George Jones song is an emotional experience. The music in this album is as unique as George Jones himself. Although many of the song titles will be familiar to his fans, none of these actual recordings have ever been commercially released until now. These recordings were made explicitly for radio airplay in the 1970s.

Cinque Profeti is a little known Christmas cantata by Alessandro Scarlatti. It has a power and subtlety redolent of Handel coupled with touches of early Monteverdi. Sung here to great effect by the five soloists with sensitive instrumentalists, they play together to bring the gentle and subtle melodies - surely written to confer a sense of the special nature of the Christmas season - to life. It’s a recording which is sure to please. Opera was not performed in Rome for much of Alessandro Scarlatti's lifetime; that's why his vocal church music mostly comprised oratorios and cantatas, of which he wrote three for the Palazzo Apostolico. Only one survives: to a libretto by Silvio Stampiglia. Cinque Profeti takes the inventive form of a conversation between the five old testament prophets, Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Abraham (the cinque profeti) about the birth of Christ – which was about to be celebrated on the occasion of the cantata’s first performance, in 1705 at the Papal Palace in Rome.

Platinum-selling band Sister Hazel is thrilled to unveil their forthcoming 13th studio album. Produced by Ben Jackson and Sister Hazel, the album's ten tracks guide listeners through personal and introspective experiences, exploring themes of vulnerability, love, growth, and renewal. Lead singer Ken Block shares his enthusiasm for the album, stating, "This time, our studio mantra was 'let's have FUN.' We aimed to swing for the fences, keep things fresh, and throw out the rulebook!

After introducing a fresh concept with 2019's 'Reboot', they've now pulled out all the stops. 'Reboot II' is here, and it's like nothing else. Not just a tribute - an experiment. The project is 'No Rules', and it's not an exaggeration. Featuring 18 Brooks & Dunn classics recreated from a blank slate, maximum creative freedom was given to a select group of today's most engaging artists - not just from country, but from outside the genre as well. Each was given a near-impossible task by Brooks & Dunn themselves: Take an iconic hit and reimagine the song to fit their own taste and style. What came out is not a traditional tribute album - in fact it's the exact opposite, a clear refusal to put these songs under glass in the museum of country history. Instead, it shows just how alive Brooks & Dunn's influence is across today's musical scene . and how versatile their songwriting really was.
