Just For A Thrill: Peggy Lee's "Norma Deloris Egstrom" Returns to CD for 50th Anniversary

October 3, 2022 By Joe Marchese 7 Comments

Peggy Lee Norma Deloris Egstrom

The words I have to say may well be simple, but they're true/Until you give your love, there's nothing more that we can do... Those lyrics from Lesley Duncan's "Love Song" opened Peggy Lee's 40th original album and her final one for Capitol Records, the label with whom she had been associated since 1944.  (She left Capitol for Decca in 1952 and re-signed with the label five years later.)  With Norma Deloris Egstrom from Jamestown, North Dakota, both the title (Lee's birth name) and the stark

From L.A. to Bakersfield: Omnivore Celebrates California Music Heroes Dean Torrence and Buck Owens on New Collections

Dean Torrence The Teammates

This fall, Omnivore will be revisiting the back pages of two California artists with whom the label has become associated: Dean Torrence and Buck Owens. Back in 2017, Omnivore issued Filet of Soul Redux: The Rejected Master Recordings from Jan Berry and Dean Torrence, the innovative surf-rock duo and Beach Boys pals who transformed the sound of SoCal pop. But Dean was always much more than "just" one-half of that pioneering musical pair.  As a graphic designer, Torrence won the Grammy Award

Cast Your Fate to the Wind: Vince Guaraldi's Breakthrough 'Black Orpheus' to Be Expanded

September 29, 2022 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

Vince Guaraldi Black Orpheus 2CD

Though he might be best known for the irresistible score to A Charlie Brown Christmas - the music of which is coming back in a big way this holiday season, jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi was first known for an unusual crossover jazz hit, the instrumental "Cast Your Fate to the Wind." The album that featured that unforgettable song (and put Guaraldi on the road to Peanuts perfection) will also get the deluxe treatment this year, in honor of its 60th anniversary.

California Saga: The Beach Boys' "Sail On Sailor: 1972" Explores "Carl and the Passions," "Holland"

September 27, 2022 By Joe Marchese 19 Comments

Beach Boys Sail On Sailor 1972

The cover of The Beach Boys' eighteenth studio album didn't look so different than what fans might have expected, with its shot of the beach, blue sky, and palm trees through a car window.  But once listeners placed the needle on the first track, it was clear this was no ordinary Beach Boys record.  Only one song - the opening "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone," a twangy rocker with little of the lushness once associated with their sound - bore a production credit for Brian Wilson; only

Marshall Crenshaw 40

Tonight, Marshall Crenshaw takes his 40 Years in Showbiz! Tour to Manhattan's City Winery. (It's a show you can watch from the comfort of your home - hopefully my head won't be in the way!) Just as exciting as seeing this living power-pop legend celebrate his fourth decade of performing: some of his long-out-of-print classic albums are coming back into circulation courtesy of a new label home. Earlier this month, Yep Roc announced a double LP expanded edition of Crenshaw's hook-filled debut

An Orchestral James Bond Collection Finally Gets Its Shot

Bond 25

James Bond has been a suave secret agent on screen for 60 years - so an official musical companion getting delayed several years is nothing, right? Bond 25, an orchestral survey of the pop themes that have accompanied every picture based on Ian Fleming's Agent 007, is finally heading to stores this Friday, September 23, after a delay just slightly longer than the release of the most recent Bond film, 2021's No Time to Die, the fifth and final outing for Daniel Craig in the lead role.

What's So Civil About the 'Use Your Illusion' Box, Anyway?

September 21, 2022 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

Use Your Illusion box

As post-glam/metal moments of largesse go, Guns N' Roses' simultaneous release of Use Your Illusion I & II was perhaps as big as it gets. So it makes sense that a new box set collecting both albums is about as grandiose - and as messy. On November 11, UMe will collect the band's 1991 studio albums in a new super deluxe box that spans seven CDs or 12 LPs and a Blu-ray. Both boxes include new remasters of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, plus two complete live sets, newly mixed
