ELECTRONIC PROJECTS FOR MUSICIANS
APPLES IN STEREO

The long-awaited compilation Electronic Projects for Musicians through Simian Records/Yep Roc Records/ Elephant 6. Named after an electronics how-to manual by Craig Anderton, the album can be seen as the band's follow-up to their 1996 compilation Science Faire. Fresh off the release of the critically acclaimed New Magnetic Wonder and one of the most productive years of their career. The album spans over 10 years and includes music from b-sides and rarities recorded between 1995 and 2007. It features three previously unreleased tracks: 'Stephen Stephen,' written for and originally performed on Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report.

BLAKES

Pitchfork has praised the band's 'swampy guitars, twitchy rhythms, and power-pop vocal harmonies' of their self-titled debut album. Mixed and mastered by Martin Feveyear (Kings of Leon, Crooked Fingers), The Blakes recall the stinging catchiness of early Who, Kinks, and other spitfire rock bands. 

The early influences of Garnet Keim (guitar, vocals) and Snow Keim (bass, vocals) were Hank Williams and Brian Wilson. The brothers busked all around North America, writing songs in hostels and motel bathrooms, finally ending up in Seattle. There they met animalistic, mesmerizing drummer Bob Husak and asked him to join the band. The trio hit the road and have been touring ever since. The band's debut album has finally arrived! Thirteen tracks full of chaotic and sensuous rock and roll like the regional hits 'Don't Bother Me,' 'Two Times,' and 'Streets.'

BODE, ERIN

Last Thanksgiving, Erin and the band recorded with the “Themba Girls,” a South African girls school choir, in rural Dirkiesdorp as part of a project coordinated by LCMS World Relief and Human Care to raise scholarship support for needy students. 
LCMS World Relief and Human Care is the mercy arm of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), the church body where Erin has deep roots. Her late grandfather, J.A.O. Preus, once was president of the LCMS, one of the United States’ 10 largest Christian denominations. Like their father, Erin’s brothers also are LCMS church workers: Gerry, an instructor at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis; Chris, a pastor in Buffalo, Minn. Sister Katie is a homemaker in Minnesota, married to Pastor Eric Nelson. 
Since returning from South Africa, Erin’s performances often include a mention of South Africa. 'I would like to give people the opportunity to learn more and to get excited about how they can be a part of helping out,' Erin says.

BEST OF THE BUCKAROOS
BUCKAROOS

Title: The Best of the Buckaroos 
Format: Compact Disc
Cat. #: SC 11115
Price: $16.98

Spotlighting the flying fingers of Buckaroos guitar-picking whiz Don Rich, the full-bodied pedal steel of Tom Brumley and the rocksteady rhythm of bassist Doyle Holly backed by the solid beat of drummers Willie Cantu and Jerry Wiggins, this Buckaroos smorgasbord is the perfect introduction to the band that created the Bakersfield Sound behind country music Hall of Famer Buck Owens. Here's the definitive example of their forward-thinking style — an electrified honky-tonk sound that wowed the crowds wherever they played. This set clearly defines what made the vibrant Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and the Buckaroos compelling enough to grab the country charts by the throat in the mid-'60s and not let go, while scoring plenty of cross-over pop-chart success at the same time.

GENE CLARK WITH THE GOSDIN BROTHERS
CLARK,GENE

Title: Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers 
Format: Compact Disc
Cat. #: SC 11188
Price: $16.98

On the first solo album by an ex-Byrd, Gene Clark doesn't stray too far from the nest. Cut in 1966 upon Clark's departure from the iconic L.A. combo, with current Byrds Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke forming the rhythm section, and spotlighting brothers Vern and Rex Gosdin, a pair of former bluegrass pals of Hillman's who chime in with sweet harmony vocals, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers stands as one of Clark's supreme achievements. Add session guitarists Glen Campbell and Jerry Cole and future Byrd Clarence White and beautiful orchestration by Leon Russell to Clark's melancholy melodies and weatherbeaten voice and the result is a classic country-rock primer that sounded like nothing else in '67 and continues to astound and inspire today. Five unheard bonus tracks from the sessions only sweeten the deal of this eye-opening work.

1. Echoes 
2. Think I’m Gonna Feel Better

DAVIS,BETTY

Her Story: 

One can hardly imagine the genre-busting, culture-crossing musical magic of Outkast, Prince, Erykah Badu, Rick James, The Roots, or even the early Red Hot Chili Peppers without the influence of R&B pioneer Betty Davis. Her style of raw and revelatory punk-funk defies any notions that women can't be visionaries in the worlds of rock and pop. In recent years, rappers from Ice Cube to Talib Kweli to Ludacris have rhymed over her intensely strong but sensual music. 

There is one testimonial about Betty Davis that is universal: she was a woman ahead of her time. In our contemporary moment, this may not be as self-evident as it was thirty years ago - we live in an age that's been profoundly changed by flamboyant flaunting of female sexuality: from Parlet to Madonna, Lil Kim to Kelis. Yet, back in 1973 when Betty Davis first showed up in her silver go-go boots, dazzling smile and towering Afro, who could you possibly have compared her to? Marva Whitney had the voice but not the independence. Labelle wouldn't get sexy with their 'Lady Marmalade' for another year while Millie Jackson wasn't Feelin' Bitchy until 1977. Even Tina Turner, the most obvious predecessor to Betty's fierce style wasn't completely out of Ike's shadow until later in the decade. 

Ms. Davis's unique story, still sadly mostly unknown, is unlike any other in popular music. Betty wrote the song 'Uptown' for the Chambers Brothers before marrying Miles Davis in the late '60s, influencing him with psychedelic rock, and introducing him to Jimi Hendrix -- personally inspiring the classic album 'Bitches Brew.' 

But her songwriting ability was way ahead of its time as well. Betty not only wrote every song she ever recorded and produced every album after her first, but the young woman penned the tunes that got The Commodores signed to Motown. The Detroit label soon came calling, pitching a Motown songwriting deal, which Betty turned down. Motown wanted to own everything. Heading to the UK, Marc Bolan of T. Rex urged the creative dynamo to start writing for herself. A common thread throughout Betty's career would be her unbending Do-It-Yourself ethic, which made her quickly turn down anyone who didn't fit with the vision. She would eventually say no to Eric Clapton as her album producer, seeing him as too banal. 

In 1973, Davis would finally kick off her cosmic career with an amazingly progressive hard funk and sweet soul self-titled debut. Davis showcased her fiercely unique talent and features such gems as 'If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up' and 'Game Is My Middle Name.' The album Betty Davis was recorded with Sly & The Family Stone's rhythm section, sharply produced by Sly Stone drummer Greg Errico, and featured backing vocals from Sylvester and the Pointer Sisters. 

Her 1974 sophomore album They Say I'm Different features a worthy-of-framing futuristic cover challenging David Bowie's science fiction funk with real rocking soul-fire, kicked off with the savagely sexual 'Shoo-B-Doop and Cop Him' (later sampled by Ice Cube). Her follow up is full of classic cuts like 'Don't Call Her No Tramp' and the hilarious, hard, deep funk of 'He Was A Big Freak.' 

Tragically, these days Betty Davis is dead broke, living in the Pittsburgh ghetto. For the first time, her critically adored first two albums are being lovingly re-mastered from the original master tapes by Light In The Attic Records to sound as ferocious and revolutionary as they did when they first sprung on an unsuspecting world in the early '70s. These reissues mark the first time that Betty will receive proper royalties for her music on CD. 

In addition to the restoration of the incredible original cover art, the compelling and heartbreaking liner notes written by author and respected soul music scholar Oliver Wang (O-Dub/Soul Sides) include her second interview in many decades, making these essential reissues for any soul, progressive punk, or funk-rock collection.

While 'Our Lips Are Sealed' was originally recorded (and issued) in 1997, the version included on The Vegas Years is a newly-remixed version, featuring new guitar and keyboard parts supplied by current Everclear members Davey French and Josh Crawley. The album also features two live performances: 'Brown Eyed Girl', which the band recorded in studio form for Learning How to Smile, and '867-5309/Jenny', which became a regular show-closer for the band in 2004. The album features tracks recorded throughout the band's career, including a few tracks that were previously released as B-sides. 15 tracks. Capitol. 2008.

FLORATONE
FRISELL,BILL

Allmusic says: on Floratone, the pure elements of sound and space are given as much attention as the music itself. Not only are there cool shimmering loops coloring the tunes, but any musical element can get treated, delayed, bounced around, echoed and twisted through 360-degrees of the stereo spectrum

Future Clouds and Radar, Austin purveyors of “sprawling orchestral art rock,” (New Yorker) released their celebrated double-disc debut earlier this year. This storied ensemble whose live show can feature up to 16 musicians at a time is the latest creation of Robert Harrison, bestknown as the leader of Austin cult-garage-heroes, Cotton Mather. Hear why critics are saying “2007 may well be the year of Future Clouds & Radar.” (Pop Culture Press)

GILLESPIE,DIZZY

Allmusic says: The audience at the 1965 edition was witness to one very special performance. By this time Gillespie and the core members of his current band had already been together for a few years, and while they had jelled to a point that all bands hope to reach, where their interactions become wholly intuitive, they were also open to new innovation.

NOBLE CREATURES
GOURDS

Allmusic says: Noble Creatures ranks high among the group's deepening catalog, and its top-notch production could land it in some laps that the band's previous recordings may have missed. It's also a fitting description of these off-center country bards, and would prove apt if they ever considered a name change.
