In recent weeks, Ace Records has made two new additions to its ongoing Producers Series, and both titles spotlight the versatility of the respective talents, Todd Rundgren and Gus Dudgeon. The Studio Wizardry of Todd Rundgren is, in many senses, an update of Rhino's 1992 compilation An Elpee's Worth of Productions. Like that set, it paints a portrait of the singer-songwriter largely in service of others' songs, though a handful of his own compositions appear, too. Ace's collection spans

Harmony Constant: 7a Records Reissues, Expands Michael Nesmith's "And The Hits Just Keep On Comin'" For Its 50th Anniversary
"I realized early on that Red was the magic carpet," the late Michael Nesmith observed to this author in 2020 of his longtime collaborator Orville "Red" Rhodes. "I began to realize this guy is on another level...He's playing music up at the highest jazz levels, but he's playing all by himself. I thought it was some of the most inspired and celestial pedal steel guitar music -which was like an impossibility, but it really was." Perhaps no release better epitomizes the intuitive, almost

I Saw the Light: BMG Collects Hank Williams' Radio Gospel Performances on "I'm Gonna Sing"
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin/Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night/Praise the Lord, I saw the light... Though Hank Williams is often remembered today as much for his hellraising ways as for his venerable songbook - a remarkable one that crossed genre lines via such stone-cold standards as "Hey, Good Lookin'," "Cold, Cold Heart," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," and "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You") - he was brought up in the church and its music stayed with
