Jingle Jangle Jungle: Demon Collects Bobby Darin's "The Direction Albums" in July
The opening song of Bobby Darin's 1967 album Sings Doctor Dolittle was entitled "At the Crossroads." The Leslie Bricusse song, introduced by Samantha Eggar (dubbed by Diana Lee) in the big-screen musical, expressed the viewpoint of a young woman constrained by the time in which she lived, wanting more. The tune was quickly adopted and refashioned by singers from Petula Clark in a slow-burning, stoic and determined version, to Sammy Davis, Jr. in exuberantly hyper-charged "Yes I Can!" mode.
Another Town Along the Road: Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" To Be Remastered on CD, Vinyl, Digital in July

Five years later, he made waves with Running On Empty, a collection of 10 new songs recorded live during his 1977 tour. Several tracks were taken from the band's performance at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland and the
In Memoriam: Dr. John (1941-2019)
Over a colorful life and career spanning seven decades, Mac Rebennack - a.k.a. Dr. John, The Night Tripper - left his mark as a singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and producer spreading the gospel of New Orleans rhythm and blues. With his distinctive rasp of a growl and expressive touch at the keyboard, nobody sounded like Dr. John. Nobody looked like him, either, with his voodoo beads, colorful feathers, and larger-than-life frame. Even his speech patterns were all his own. Funk, blues,

Review: Fiat Lux, "Hired History Plus: Expanded Edition"
Fiat Lux -- from the Latin for "let there be light" - were originally a synth-pop band that shone for a brief period in the '80s. Formed in 1982 and hailing from Wakefield in Yorkshire, England, they pioneered a unique sonic stamp, the influence of which is still felt today. Their pioneering blend was full of lush synthesizer textures, acoustic and electric keyboards, and studio effects - all anchored by Steve Wright's emotive vocals. Multi-instrumentalist David Crickmore provided guitar, bass,

Off The Handle: Rory Gallagher Rarities Collection "Blues" Arrives From UMC
Eric Clapton once described Rory Gallagher as "the man who got me back into the blues."

To commemorate 50 years since Gallagher began his recording, UMC has released a new collection that mines the vaults of the celebrated singer and instrumentalist

Review: Ronnie Lane, "Just For A Moment: Music 1973-1997"
Ask any of his collaborators and they'll tell you, Ronnie Lane was special. Sure, he was an exceedingly talented singer, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter; he was also a uniquely open-minded and welcoming collaborator who was more than willing to nurture talent. But what really sets Ronnie Lane apart is the way he subverted what it meant to be a popular musician. Unlike the majority of his peers, Ronnie Lane didn't want to be a rock star. He wanted his music to reach people, sure, but he'd
