Southside Johnny Grapefruit Moon

At first glance, Southside Johnny Lyon and Tom Waits might seem at disparate ends of the musical spectrum.  New Jersey native Lyon is a progenitor of the Jersey Shore sound with its brassy, party-time fusion of rock & roll and rhythm & blues.  California's Waits came into prominence during that state's singer-songwriter boom, touching on folk before settling into a piano-based, jazz-influenced sound that he would ultimately jettison in favor of a more experimental and avant-garde

Red Hot and Blue

Since 1989, the Red Hot Organization (RHO) has been combatting the scourge of HIV/AIDS.  Red Hot has primarily raised money through the creation of music compilations beginning with the 1990 release Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter.  Now, that star-studded release and numerous others have come to digital and streaming services to continue raising money for the charity. RHO co-founder John Carlin, an entertainment lawyer spurred into action by the devastating losses suffered by the New

RoyOrbisonandFriends BlackandWhiteNight30 LP

By the middle of the '80s, Roy Orbison was primed for a comeback.  In 1986, his epic ballad "In Dreams" was placed prominently in David Lynch's film Blue Velvet, which sparked renewed interest in the velvet-voiced crooner and rocker.  The following year, The "Big O" staged the ultimate comeback concert with a remarkable lineup of guests including Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, J.D. Souther, k.d. lang, and Jennifer Warnes.  The star-studded group had

Tom Waits Closing Time

Having remastered his catalogue for Anti- Records spanning from 1999 to 2011 last year for CD and vinyl, iconoclastic singer Tom Waits will next partner with the label by turning his attention to the seven albums he released on the Asylum label during the first portion of his career. Waits and his wife and creative partner Kathleen Brennan have remastered all of Waits' studio and live output between 1973 and 1980 for CD and 180-gram LP, bringing many of the albums back into physical print

Iconoclastic singer Tom Waits is reissuing the latest part of his catalogue this winter. Waits' website recently announced remastered CD and vinyl editions of his entire Anti- catalogue, issued between 1999 and 2011. Waits and his longtime wife/musical collaborator Kathleen Brennan have personally remastered these six albums, with 2004's Real Gone receiving a new remix by Karl Derfler. The titles will release roughly in reverse chronological order: 2011's Bad As Me streets next Friday,

neil and pegi young

Who but Neil Young could have brought The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Ben Harper, Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, and Los Lonely Boys together on the same stage?  Though Young is an easy target for what can appear as a capricious attitude towards his back catalogue – announcing, then delaying or cancelling titles with alarming frequency – one aspect of the man’s great legacy cannot be in dispute, and that is his philanthropy.  Since 1986, Young and his wife Pegi have offered

Tom Waits' voice may not be for everyone, but there were bigger problems than that to notice on the recent repressings of his first four albums on red vinyl from Rhino. The reissues, put out several months back, have been plagued with sporadic problems that seem to lie with the mastering or transfer onto vinyl. Fortunately, Anti- Records has begun an exchange program and promised their customers that these problems will be corrected and avoided for future vinyl reissues of the Waits
