The Searchers are destined to go down in history as Liverpool's second biggest group. When the town's biggest group is the Beatles, that ain't bad! The Searchers took their name from the same John Wayne movie that inspired Buddy Holly to turn the catch phrase, "That'll Be The Day" into a rock and roll classic. From 1964 through 1966 The Searchers were constantly at the top of the American charts with such classics as Love Potion No. 9, Sugar and Spice, Needles and Pins, Don't Throw Your Love Away and Sweets For My Sweet, just to name a few. This collection has ALL their hits and showcases the singing and the musical talents of a group that helped lead the British invasion on the American charts. It's hit after hit after hit...

Репертуар Гульда был довольно широк, простираясь до композиторов-авангардистов начала XX века. Характерно, что в последнем своём концерте он наряду с Бахом и Бетховеном играл Кшенека. Высокую оценку получила сделанная Гульдом полная запись фортепианных произведений Шёнберга; он записал ряд редких фортепианных произведений Сибелиуса, Рихарда Штрауса, Хиндемита. В то же время к некоторым величайшим классикам фортепианной музыки Гульд высказывал резко скептическое отношение - в частности, он неоднократно заявлял о своей нелюбви к музыке Моцарта и Шопена (хотя в его репертуаре оба присутствовали). Главным композитором Гульда был, безусловно, Иоганн Себастьян Бах, а наиболее важным баховским произведением - «Гольдберг-вариации», которые он исполнял всю жизнь (две знаменитые записи «Гольдберг-вариаций» в исполнении Гульда датируются 1955 и 1981 годами). Из композиторов добаховской эры Гульд превыше всего ценил Орландо Гиббонса, называя его своим любимым автором. Среди редких произведений в репертуаре Гульда - Хроматические вариации Жоржа Бизе, которые Гульд относил к высшим достижениям пианистического искусства XIX века.

On “Smoke in the Sky” Eric has put together a collection of Bluesy Hard Rock Tracks that showcases his powerful emotive vocals. He is also a great storyteller with his lyrics.
“I have never been shy about wearing my influences on my sleeve,” said Eric. “This was the vocal style I grew up listening to blasting out of every car window when I was growing up. I wanted to give that style of music some much needed attention and remembrance, while still trying to bring some new and more modern elements to the songs. The result is 11 tracks of bluesy hard rock that pays homage to the great rock singers of the 70′s while lending a fresh new edge to the style.”

At 62, John Mellencamp has spent his nearly 40-year career figuring out exactly where he fits in the American grain, and he’s never inhabited traditional folk and blues-imbued settings as personally as on his 22nd album. Singing with gruff directness, the recent divorcé deals with relationship struggles (the somber “Tears in Vain”), as well as broader societal and moral worry (the hard-driving “Lawless Times”). He recorded the album in Indiana with executive production by T Bone Burnett, who has brought his stripped-down approach to Mellencamp’s recent albums. “I don’t trust myself, I don’t trust you,” he intones darkly. It’s a lonely old night, as he used to sing, and a raw one.

Give the People What They Want is the fifth studio album by American soul and funk band Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.
