New Direction: Bobby Darin's '60s Label Reactivates in July, Unreleased Music Promised
At the conclusion of his second Atlantic Records tenure in 1967 - a period which yielded the hit "If I Were a Carpenter" and vivid journeys through contemporary folk, Broadway, and Hollywood songbooks - Bobby Darin struck out on his own to form the Direction Records label. Devastated by the assassination of his close friend Robert F. Kennedy, shaken by revelations about his family, and stricken by the ongoing turmoil of the day, Bobby sought to shed the showbiz style to which he'd become

Elvis' 'Aloha' Beams Into Box Set for 50th Anniversary
America said Aloha to Elvis Presley in between a trip to the Dark Side of the Moon and a visit to the Houses of the Holy when the once and future King's Aloha from Hawaii album earned a berth between Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin atop the Billboard chart. Presley's Honolulu concert of January 14, 1973, preserved on records by RCA, was monumental in every respect. The most expensive entertainment broadcast to that point in time, Aloha from Hawaii was viewed by an estimated audience of over one

OUT TOMORROW! Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Turn Up the "Disco Heat" with New Sylvester Anthology
When the self-described "disco queen" known as Sylvester stepped on a New York stage opening for Chaka Khan, the local press was entranced. One newspaper approvingly noted that he made "David Bowie look like Lawrence Welk." Nothing was too outrageous for Sylvester. But at his core, he was serious about music and about breaking down the walls of identity. In appearance and demeanor, the unapologetically gay San Francisco star challenged the gender binary long before such discussions were in

In Memoriam: Gordon Lightfoot (1938-2023)
We mourn the loss of troubadour Gordon Lightfoot (1938-2023). Lightfoot's songs pierced the heart, springing from the folk tradition but with one foot in the pop realm as they pondered love, loneliness, nature, and history. His warm, burnished baritone was like that of an old friend, reassuring and wise. The Ontario native was a Canadian national treasure but his music belonged to the world; part of the secret to his success was his richly diverse musical background. By his teenaged years,
People Need Love: ABBA's "Ring Ring" Celebrates 50 with Singles Box Set, More
When the single "People Need Love" was released in 1972, it was intended as a one-off collaboration between three successful Swedish pop entities: female singers Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and songwriting/producing duo Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The single was credited simply to "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid," with no intentions of further capitalizing on the partnership. But the success of the song - a Top 20 hit in their native Sweden - led to an album's

The Second Disc's Record Store Day 2023 Shopping Guide
Record Store Day! It's that time again where music lovers and vinyl flippers get together at their favorite physical music retailers and wait in line to snag some treasured albums - almost all of which are pressed on vinyl instead of CD (or, you know, sold on secondary marketplaces for above their retail value).

Last year, rumors began abounding that Paul Simon was back in the studio recording a new album which would be his first since 2018's In the Blue Light and first of original material since 2016's Stranger to Stranger. 2018 was also the year when Simon said goodbye to the road with his Homeward Bound tour. That farewell tour culminated on September 22 in an unforgettable hometown show at Queens' Flushing Meadows Corona Park, but Simon has revealed that he's far from done with music. Those
