March 7, 2024 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

La-La Land Records continues its hot streak with an expanded score and soundtrack release of one of the biggest blockbusters of the ’80s: Harold Faltermeyer’s score to the 1986 action classic Top Gun. The 2CD set, limited to 5000 copies, features Faltermeyer’s complete, electronic-infused score to Tony Scott’s film about a squadron of Navy pilots training in an elite program colloquially known as – you guessed it – Top Gun.

In Memoriam: Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-2022)

October 28, 2022 by Mike Duquette | 9 Comments

To the uninitiated, the biography of Jerry Lee Lewis in 2022 read like a list of rock tropes so basic you can’t believe they all happened to one man. Born to a poor Louisiana family that included a lot of famous Southerners (including cousins Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart), Jerry Lee’s parents mortgaged their farm to buy him a piano and hoped he would honor the Lord in song. What they got instead was a firebrand, whose boogie-woogie sensibilities galvanized and scandalized the record-buying public. His white-hot success on the pop charts…

This Is Soul: Ace Collects “The Soul of The Memphis Boys” with Elvis, Dusty, Box Tops, More

We’ve already filled you in on Ace’s recent anthology collecting works by Philly soul maestro Thom Bell; now we’re looking to the American South with another release! Way back in 2012, Ace Records collected the multifaceted sounds of Chips Moman and Don Crews’ American Studios on Memphis Boys: The Story of American Studios.

Now, the label has returned to the milieu of…

The Big Light: Johnny Cash’s Complete Mercury Albums Reissued in New Box Set and Individual LPs

March 10, 2020 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Johnny Cash is coming to town (again)! When the legendary Man in Black was unceremoniously dropped by his longtime home of Columbia Records in mid-1986 – “the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life,” opined then-label chief Rick Blackburn – he wasn’t yet finished. Mercury Records stepped up to sign Cash, beginning a relationship that lasted for five years and six albums. Now, that fertile 1986-1991 period of rebirth is being revisited by Mercury and UMe in a multi-platform campaign. On April 24, the labels will issue a new…

Swinging Doors: Grateful Dead, Emmylou, Dolly, Dino, More Celebrate “The Merle Haggard Songbook”

May 23, 2019 by Joe Marchese | 2 Comments

Along with Buck Owens – with whom he shared a musical history and a wife – Merle Haggard (1937-2016) defined The Bakersfield Sound of country music: authentic, raw, rooted in honky-tonks. But unlike the Texas-born and Arizona-raised Owens, Haggard was actually born in Bakersfield and raised just across the river from that California town. “Hag,” as he preferred to be known, rocketed to superstardom thanks to “Okie from Muskogee,” his controversial 1969 song that was either a scathing indictment of the younger generation or of the smalltown, heartland folk criticizing them. (Hag…

Moanin’ At Midnight: Memphis Artists Gather for Sun Records Charity Tribute

June 15, 2017 by Joe Marchese | 1 Comment

In February 1952, Sam Phillips launched Sun Records at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee – the site of his Sun Studio, previously known as Memphis Recording Service. Two years later, the visionary entrepreneur signed Elvis Presley, and then opened the doors to such other legendary talents as Johnny Cash, Jerry Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, and more. The Sun Records rockabilly sound incorporated rhythm and blues, country, rock and roll, and gospel, forever changing the face of American popular music. 65 years after the label’s founding, a cadre of…
