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.

Former Skid Row singer and Broadway artist Sebastian Bach has a new album out in the stores. It's Bach's third solo studio record and it was produced by Bob Marlette, who already worked with bands like Alice Cooper and Filter earlier. The musicians who have been supporting Bach on the album are well known names like Duff McKagan (b), Devin Bronson (g) and Bobby Jarzombek (d). With John 5 and Steve Stevens the singer could also get very experienced guest guitarists on board. So, good preconditions. "Give 'em hell" became a hardrock album with quite some modern metal elements. It reminds to the Skid Row release "Subhuman race" from 1995 and the question is, if this is needed or not. The album has really good songs, but also tunes I don't like at all. For me Bach's new release became interesting half way.

Дин был идолом советской молодежи и престарелых генсеков в джинсах, водолазке, с гитарой и американской улыбкой. За ним толпой ходили поклонники и скандировали: «Белла, чао!» На концертах девушки задаривали его конфетами, плюшевыми мишками и книгами.

Chronicle, Vol. 2 is a compilation album by Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in November 1986 and then re-released on CD in 1991.

Основные темы альбома - религия, война, наркотики, отчужденность и одиночество. Но если в тексте «Hand Of Doom» (из альбома Paranoid) наркотики осуждались как социальное зло, то здесь «Sweet Leaf» - восторженный гимн марихуане. Две песни, имеющих отношение к Богу и религии - «After Forever» и «Lord of This World». «Children Of The Grave» продолжает антивоенную тему (начатую в «War Pigs»), а «Into The Void» (о переживших ядерную катастрофу людях, уносящихся на космических кораблях в космическую бездну прочь от опустошенной Земли) может считаться продолжением «Electric Funeral».

2014 album from the veteran rocker. KINGS & QUEENS OF THE UNDERGROUND was primarily produced by Trevor Horn, with Greg Kurstin also contributing as a producer to two songs - 'Save Me Now' and the anthemic lead single, 'Can't Break Me Down.' From punk pioneer to global superstar, William Michael Albert Broad - AKA Billy Idol - has left an indelible mark in popular music and remained a household name for over three decades. His style, music, and attitude have transcended time and trends. Billy is the original punk rocker who found a way to take that sneering punk attitude into the pop and rock mainstream, carving out songs that have lasted a lifetime.

It's Not Me, It's You is the second studio album by English recording artist Lily Allen, released on 4 February 2009 by Regal Recordings and Parlophone. The album was conceived in 2008 with Allen noting a shift in musical style moving away from ska and reggae influences from her debut album, Alright, Still (2006), to an electropop feel with elements of jazz and country. The album was produced and co-written by Greg Kurstin, with whom Allen had previously worked with on Alright, Still.

Chasing Rainbows komt in oktober met het album ‘With Henk Jonkers. Dat verdient wat uitleg. Chasing Rainbows is de band rond Lawrence Rengert uit Santa Barbara, California. Toen Lawrence jaren geleden voor een studie aan de Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten drummer Henk Jonkers (Fatal Flowers, Hallo Venray) trof, werden de oude demo’s met gitaarliedjes van Lawrence door Henk onder handen genomen in een Amsterdamse studio.

Under Paris Skies is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the fall of 1960 by Cadence Records. This, his seventh and final LP for the label, is a collection of songs that Joseph Laredo describes in the liner notes of the CD release by Varèse Sarabande as "a delightful program of twelve compositions, selected by Williams, that proved an engaging mixture of genuine French popular songs and American-penned emulations."

Silhouette is the new album from Ali Campbell, the legendary voice of UB40 reunited with Astro & Mickey. Recorded in London's renowned RAK Studios, the album is an inspired mix of freshly-minted new songs and sparkling, reggaefied cover versions of classics by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Chi-Lites and others. The track Silhouette was originally a 1957 hit for the American doo-wop group The Rays, though this new, yearning take, owes more to an early 1970s version by the crown prince of reggae, the late Dennis Brown. As founding members of UB40, Ali, Mickey and Astro helped to define reggae music for a generation. The iconic Birmingham reggae troupe topped the UK singles chart on three occasions and sold 70 million records as they took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe.
