Three Cheers and Dammit, C'est La Vie: Eartha Kitt's "I'm Still Here" and "Live in London" Reissued by Cherry Red
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and my dear, I'm still here... Eartha Kitt certainly earned the right to sing those famous lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The theatrical legend wrote the song for Yvonne DeCarlo to introduce in the 1971 Broadway production of Follies, but the seen-it-all anthem was later adopted by artists including Barbra Streisand, Carol Burnett, Elaine Stritch, Judy Collins, Dame Shirley Bassey, Cleo Laine, and Ann Miller. Kitt - a singer, dancer, actress,
You Make My Day: Omnivore Collects Trini Lopez's "Rare Reprise Singles"
Singer-guitarist Trini Lopez, Texas-born and of Mexican descent, skyrocketed to fame with his 1963 recording of Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer." Lopez's bright and spirited rendition of the protest song went to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and even eclipsed Peter, Paul, and Mary's Grammy-winning top ten hit of one year earlier. It launched Lopez to a successful career as an all-around entertainer, television and film actor, and prolific recording artist. "If I Had a Hammer" came to disc

Do the Dance Now: Cherry Red, Esoteric Reissue Cult Favorites from Colin Scot, "English" Gypsy
Today, we're looking at two recent sets from the vaults of United Artists Records courtesy of Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint. Singer-songwriter Colin Scot (1941-1999) only recorded three albums in his too-short lifetime. While none of them dented the charts, all three revealed a talented singer-songwriter in the folk-rock vein. Esoteric has reissued Scot's first LP, from 1971, in an expanded edition that's actually a repress of the 2006 release on the Eclectic Discs label. In

Sweets for My Sweet: Cherry Red, SoulMusic Collect The Sweet Inspirations' Atlantic Recordings on "Let It Be Me"
In its 1960s heyday, Atlantic Records was the destination for deeply-felt soul. Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Solomon Burke, and Wilson Pickett were just a handful of the artists there who defined the sound of soul music. Lesser-known but no less significant were The Sweet Inspirations. Today, the vocal quartet might be best-remembered as Elvis Presley's preferred onstage backup group, but The King was just one of a staggering number of artists they supported - including the

A Million Stars: Vinyl Me, Please Teams with Aloha Got Soul for Hawaiian Classics from Mackey Feary Band, Eddie Suzuki and New Hawaii
"Grin, even when you're at your lowest, grin," implores Mackey Feary on the opening track of his 1978 solo album Mackey Feary Band. "You're Young" is all sun and breeze, making it near-impossible to suppress the requested grin. It's languid yet funky, with shimmering guitars, wending saxophone, and sweet female background voices adding to the luster. As a founding member of Kalapana, Feary had been at the vanguard of Hawaiian pop in the 1970s; alongside such artists as Cecilio and Kapono and
Sweet Dream: Jethro Tull's 'Benefit' Gets 50th Anniversary Remix, Expansion
With 1970's Benefit, Jethro Tull continued to refine their sound. The blues/jazz fusion of the band's debut This Was had already ceded to a more eclectic style on Stand Up; Benefit would edge Tull towards riff-rock while still maintaining the folk and jazz touchstones that set the band apart. Benefit ultimately became a best-seller, setting the stage for 1971's Aqualung and the even greater international successes that followed. In 2013, Benefit was expanded as a 2CD/DVD set featuring new

Waiting for the Man: Soundtrack for Todd Haynes' Velvet Underground Film Due in October
Director Todd Haynes has long emphasized music in his filmography. One of his first works to garner significant attention was 1987's controversial and unauthorized Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story; four years later, his evocation of the glam rock era in Velvet Goldmine made more commercial waves. More recently, he's been attached to direct Michelle Williams in the forthcoming Peggy Lee biopic Fever. But before Haynes tackles Peggy, he's returning to a different Velvet: The Velvet
