November 6, 2021 by The Second Disc | 1 Comment

While The Second Disc prides itself on connecting people to reissues and box sets they can keep on their shelves, it’s no secret that listening audiences are also digital – catalogue music lovers, too – and our passion is connecting people to music from the past that they might adore. So we’ve introduced a new feature: The Weekend Stream, which focuses on hidden gems that recently made it to digital channels that might make your playlists a little brighter!

Welcome to My World: Burt Bacharach and Steven Sater’s “Some Lovers” Features Jennifer Holliday, Kristin Chenoweth, Auli’i Cravalho, More

October 12, 2021 by Joe Marchese | 2 Comments

“Burt Bacharach’s patented songwriting style is on luxurious display in Some Lovers, the new musical he wrote with Steven Sater, one of the creators of Spring Awakening,” wrote The Los Angeles Times upon the musical’s 2011 premiere at San Diego’s Old Globe. “Octogenarian composer Bacharach brings youthful freshness to the project,” opined Variety. “[Some Lovers] is packed with nearly 20 new songs by pop virtuoso Burt Bacharach,” offered The San Diego Union-Tribune, “and in theater it doesn’t get much more rare (or for fans, more welcome) than that.” Now, ten years after…

Somewhere in the world, someone is cold/Be aware/And while you’re feeling young, someone is old/Be aware/And while your stomach’s full, somewhere in this world, someone is hungry/When there is so much, should anyone be hungry? On Sunday, March 14, 1971, CBS-TV aired Singer Presents Burt Bacharach. The composer’s variety special welcomed Tom Jones, Rudolf Nureyev, and Barbra Streisand.

It’s Witchcraft – Cherry Red’s Righteous Imprint Compiles 2-CD Set of Halloween Novelties

October 25, 2019 by Randy Fairman | 3 Comments

With Halloween less than a week away, we thought we’d take a look at a new compilation which was recently released from Cherry Red’s Righteous Records imprint: the 2-CD Trick or Treat: Music To Scare Your Neighbours – Vintage 45s from Lux and Ivy’s Haunted Basement. The Lux and Ivy in the title are the husband and wife mainstays of the punk/rockabilly group The Cramps, who debuted in the 1970s and were active until Lux’s death in 2009. Aside from being punk innovators, the pair also championed older music on their own…

Say a Little Prayer: Steve Tyrell Expands “Back to Bacharach” For Tenth Anniversary

October 29, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 1 Comment

Long before he was serenading fans with his expressive, distinctively smoky voice as a modern-day crooner, Steve Tyrell was moving and shaking behind the scenes at Scepter Records. When not producing singles for Maxine Brown, The Shirelles, Chuck Jackson, or B.J. Thomas, he was working in A&R and promotions alongside Scepter’s superstar “triangle marriage” team of Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, and Hal David. In 2008, with six solo albums then under his belt, Tyrell returned to his roots with Back to Bacharach, a 14-song tribute to his old friends and their timeless…

Contante & Sonante Celebrates Late Warren Wiebe with Rare Demos From Burt Bacharach, David Foster, More

October 24, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Talk about a well-kept secret… Throughout his too-short life, vocalist Warren Wiebe (1953-1998) never became a household name. Yet he was highly successful. As a background singer, he graced recordings by Johnny Mathis, Paul Anka, Taylor Dayne, and Air Supply. A true songwriter’s singer – able to convey the heart and soul of a song without resorting to self-indulgence – he earned the respect and admiration of a “Who’s Who” of songwriters who enlisted him to introduce their songs on private demonstration recordings. Among Wiebe’s biggest fans were Burt Bacharach, David Foster,…

Elvis Costello Deftly Blends Present and Past on “Look Now”

October 15, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 4 Comments

Among the credits for Elvis Costello and The Imposters’ Look Now is a simple acknowledgment: In Memphis – Mary Isobel O’Brien. The onetime Ms. O’Brien, of course, is better known as Dusty Springfield, and the credit from Declan MacManus and his band makes clear the inspiration for this stunning assemblage of what the artist, correctly, deems “uptown pop.” Dusty in Memphis is one of the benchmarks of that style: pop with a dash of soul, or is it soul with a dash of pop? It doesn’t hurt that Costello’s collaborators on Look…

Anyone Who Had a Heart: Dionne Warwick Saluted on Public Television, New Rarities-Packed CDs, More

August 17, 2018 by The Second Disc | 45 Comments

From the moment she burst onto the music scene in 1962 exhorting “Don’t Make Me Over,” Dionne Warwick has been a musical force with which to be reckoned. The legendary singer blended elegant pop and deeply-felt soul in a fashion which remains unrivaled today for its sophistication and polish; her signature songs like “Walk On By,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Alfie,” and “I’ll Never Love This Way Again” have all become cornerstones of the new American songbook. Dionne’s remarkable life and career will be saluted on a new Public Television special…

Ride Like the Wind: “California Groove IV” Box Set Captures Sounds of Summer

July 27, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 5 Comments

Warner Music France is providing a breezy soundtrack for summer with the fourth installment of California Groove. Arriving seven years after Volume 3, this impressive 6-CD box set is a little bit country, a little bit-rock-and-roll – not to mention filled with pop, lounge, jazz, dance, R&B, soul, and beyond. It’s too eclectic to be filed under “yacht rock,” though many of that so-called genre’s bright lights are here, including Christopher Cross and Steely Dan. What it is, however, is a collection of sleek, chill, California-inspired sounds that will “tune out all…

The eternally youthful “voice of romance” gained a whole new generation of fans in 2017 with an album featuring his recordings of future standards by Adele, Bruno Mars, and Pharrell Williams.
