Sandy Denny & The Strawbs
|
LEGEND surrounds this alliance between the first lady of British folk and the much-loved Strawbs, which many now think of as the original British rock-folk album.
It’s an endearing yet strange mix of Denny’s ethereal, fluting voice and melancholy material and The Strawbs’ more knockabout folk.
Songs such as Who Knows Where The Time Goes and Tell Me What You See In Me are flawless while the original album with out-takes and unreleased demos make it perfect for all music fans.

Joan Jett - At the 100 Club
|
Joan Jett is mesmerizing, a consummate
performer and musician who can still rock out with the best of
them
Distorted magazine review of the 100 club show - published
16/06/2010
As she led the charge into a singalong of
''I love Rock''n''Roll'', which has been her calling card for almost 30 years, Jett
denied her fans not a milligram of the simple, unthreatening pleasure the song
can bring, emitting a series of fabulous yowls. She was a sound performer, a
hearty singer, and she had a vital quality, which we rarely associate with rock
- decorum. - The Daily Telegraph review of the 100 club show -
published16/06/2010
Why did we ever care about Courtney Love
when we had Joan Jett? She''s been missing from this country for too long

Just Across The River
Recorded in Nashville with a stunning group of multi-platinum legends, this newly recorded collection of some of the greatest songs in pop and country music history features Jimmy Webb and friends at their most romantic, poignant, lyrical, and inspiring. Each track stands alongside---and in some cases, surpasses---the beloved original hits. The music is contemporary, yet classically timeless. The arrangements serve the songs, and the incredible vocal performers who collaborate with Jimmy of the album of his lifetime.
The critical acclaim composer Jimmy Webb has received during his more than forty years of success is as remarkable as the accomplishments they honor: Webb is the only artist to ever receive Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration; he is a member of the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame; and, according to BMI, his “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” (sung on the new album in duet with Glen Campbell---the first time the two have ever recorded together) has been the third most performed song in the last fifty years. Webb’s “Wichita Lineman” (performed here with Billy Joel and Jerry Douglas) has been listed in the Top Fifty of MOJO Magazine’s worldwide survey of the best one hundred singles of all time, and was singled out in the Oct/Nov 2001 issue of Blender as “The Greatest Song Ever.”
Webb was known initially for the instant classics he provided for such artists as Campbell, Richard Harris (“MacArthur Park,” “Didn’t We”), the Fifth Dimension (“Up, Up and Away,” “This Is Your Life”), and Johnny Maestro’s Brooklyn Bridge (“Worst That Could Happen.”) Jimmy also topped the Country charts when Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson hit #1 with “The Highwayman,” a ballad which won him yet another Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year. On JUST ACROSS THE RIVER, Jimmy shares the mike with Mark Knopfler on this tune. Linda Ronstadt, who has recorded a multitude of Webb songs throughout her recording career, included four of his efforts on her double platinum album, “Cry like A Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind.” She’s on board here for a heartwarming, intimate closing duet on “All I Know,” the Webb standard made famous by Art Garfunkel.
And that’s just the beginning. As a performer Jimmy has released numerous critically-acclaimed albums over the years, earning distinguished reviews in all of the major publications, and unqualified praise following his appearances in concert halls and top cabaret venues. But he has never attempted a project like JUST ACROSS THE RIVER, where his singing AND songwriting is celebrated by the collaborations of his peers, like Jackson Browne and Willie Nelson, as well as artists who have revered his music for years, like Lucinda Williams, Michael McDonald, and Vince Gill.
There has never been a songwriter like Jimmy Webb. And there has never been an album of his songs like JUST ACROSS THE RIVER.
