Sharon Jones Just Dropped In

The story of Sharon Jones proves that it's never too late to follow your dreams.  The late Georgia-born, New York City-raised singer spent many years as a corrections officer and an armored car guard before rising to fame in her forties when she was "discovered" by producers Gabriel Roth and Phillippe Lehman.  She recorded for their Pure Records and Desco Records labels, and her work for the latter caught the attention of soul collectors; the undated singles released by Desco led the

New York City Im Doin Fine Now

Doo-wop veterans John Brown, Tim McQueen, Edward Schell, and Claude Johnson came together as New York City, hoping that the name of their new vocal quartet would reflect the melting pot that inspired it.  "We feel personally that a group should be able to sing anything from the lowest, dirtiest blues," Brown wrote in the sleevenotes of New York City's 1973 debut LP, "through spirituals, right up through pop to the heaviest kind of music."  I'm Doin' Fine Now, originally issued on Chelsea Records

In Memoriam: Eddie Van Halen (1955-2020) and Johnny Nash (1940-2020)

October 7, 2020 By Joe Marchese 3 Comments

Eddie Van Halen

Yesterday, the world lost two titans of popular song, Eddie Van Halen and Johnny Nash.  We salute them both. Eddie Van Halen, who died of cancer at the age of 65, was born in Amsterdam and rose to fame in southern California, but his music belonged to the world.  Guitarist Eddie and brother-drummer Alex formed the band that became Van Halen in 1972 and paid their dues in the ensuing years, earning fans such as Gene Simmons and Kim Fowley.  Once Warner Bros. Records took notice of them in

76 in the Shade

Producer-compiler Bob Stanley's last couple of compilations for Ace have placed him squarely within the 1970s.  Earlier this year, Saint Etienne Present Songs for the Fountain Coffee Room (compiled by Stanley, Sarah Cracknell, and Pete Wiggs) conjured "the soundtrack for a bar in mid-'70s Los Angeles," or a St. Etienne-style spin on "yacht rock" with Stephen Bishop, Ned Doheny, Boz Scaggs, and Seals and Crofts among those featured.  Stanley has followed Fountain Coffee Room up with a trip to a

October is upon us, and while 2020 hasn't given us much to rejoice about, the holiday season is almost here.  Before the month is out, radio stations will begin switching to seasonal formats, and television will begin showing yuletide movies.  With a never-ending barrage of bad news, "we need a little Christmas right this very minute" has hardly seemed more apt.  Sony's Legacy Recordings is getting a head start on Christmas this year with the release on vinyl of 10 favorite albums from the

Play Tetris Til My Eyes Fall Out: The Second Disc's Bandcamp Friday Picks, October 2020

Avery Jane

The month's best new release day is back! Since March, indie music retailer Bandcamp has waived their share of revenue for indie artists and labels using their platform to give "the little guys" a leg up in the face of the pandemic. The result was more music bought by more fans than any day on the site, a record broken on the first Friday of May.

In Memoriam: Mac Davis (1942-2020)

September 30, 2020 By Joe Marchese 4 Comments

Mac Davis I Believe in Music

On one of his most famous compositions, Scott "Mac" Davis sang, "I could just sit around making music all day long/As long as I'm making my music, ain't gonna do nobody no harm/And who knows, maybe I'll come up with a song..."  The singer-songwriter-actor never had difficulty coming up with a song, including that memorable one.  Davis, who died yesterday at the age of 78, recorded "I Believe in Music" on his second Columbia album in 1970, and the group Gallery took it up the charts in 1972.
