06.30.06 (MusicPortal.com) The spirit of Robert Johnson and the Delta Blues tradition come to life on RORY BLOCK's upcoming debut Rykodisc Records release, "The Lady And Mr. Johnson." The album, comprised entirely of Block's heartfelt interpretations of Robert Johnson's music, is set for release on August 15th, and may be the most compelling and important release in the celebrated blueswoman's distinguished career. Block's approach to the blues of Robert Johnson is with the clear vision of an insider, one who, according to The New York Times, has "wrestled with ghosts, shadows and legends." An expert slide guitarist and a masterful singer, Rory Block's unmatched understanding of the complexity and form of Robert Johnson's music has gained her the resounding support and encouragement of the Johnson family and the Robert Johnson Blues Foundation. The album features thirteen of the King of the Delta Blues' classics stripped down to the very essence of vocals and acoustic guitar, and includes haunting staples such as 'Cross Road Blues,' 'Walking Blues' and 'Terraplane Blues.' With "The Lady And Mr. Johnson," Block's skill, passion, and pure emotion are on display evoking the spirit of the late, great Robert Johnson. The album is a testament not only to his legacy but to the talent and commitment of Rory Block, an artist seemingly pre-destined to walk in his presence rather than his shadow. Block's first album was released in the mid-1960s. Three decades and twenty albums later, Block has seen her efforts crowned with numerous accolades including two Acoustic Blues Album Of The Year awards and being named Traditional Blues Female Artist Of The Year at the W.C. Handy Awards in 1997 and 1998. To support "The Lady And Mr. Johnson," Rory Block will be presenting special performances featuring a Mississippi gospel choir that includes members of Robert Johnson's family. Aptly titled "Down At The Crossroads: Blues Meets Gospel," the shows will feature the music of Robert Johnson performed by Rory Block and the soul-stirring gospel of the Straightway Ministries Choir. According to Block, the concerts "will celebrate two spirit-filled forms of American music - African American blues and gospel - demonstrating the intimate connection between the two, healing the gap, and removing the stigma whereby blues has sometimes been labeled 'the music of the devil.'"

06.29.06 (MusicPortal.com) After nine albums and countless tours, FU MANCHU have signed a worldwide recording agreement with Liquor And Poker Music. Their tenth release will surface in early 2007 on that label in America and on Century Media in Europe, while an Asian release will be confirmed in the coming months. "Fu Manchu are one of the most influential rock groups of recent times," says Marco Barbieri, president of Century Media and Liquor And Poker Music's "high roller." "We're proud and excited to welcome the band to our roster, and we look forward to being part of a new chapter of their impressive history." Founded by guitarist/vocalist Scott Hill, Fu Manchu debuted their '70s-inspired fuzz Rock on 1994's acclaimed "No One Rides For Free." Over the next decade, the group received extensive international acclaim for such landmark albums as 1996's "In Search Of...," the following year's "The Action Is Go," 2000's "King Of The Road" and "California Crossing" in 2001. Most recently, the group released "Start The Machine" in 2004, supported by a nationwide tour with Corrosion Of Conformity. The band -- which for the last four-plus years has featured Hill, drummer Scott Reeder (ex-Smile) and long-time members Bob Balch (guitars) and Brad Davis (bass) -- also has several famous alumni: Nebula mainstays Eddie Glass and Ruben Romano, as well as former Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age drummer Brant Bjork. Fu Manchu will track their new album at Hollywood's Grandmaster Recorders studios (Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Black Crowes) -- where they also recorded "In Search Of..." and "The Action Is Go" -- with co-producer Andrew Alekel (Weezer, Rancid, Queens of the Stone Age). The band plans to record 13 new songs and, in their classic fashion, three cover songs in The Cars' 'Moving In Stereo,' Void's 'Who Are You' and Van Halen's 'D.O.A.' "We are excited to be working with Liquor and Poker and the entire Century Family," Hill says. "We feel that they really understand rock bands like us. Our new record is heavier, thicker, fuzzier and more aggressive than anything that we've done for a while. We can't wait to get this record out and then hit the road to play these songs live."

06.28.06 (MusicPortal.com) Lost Highway Records has just released "Tim O'Reagan," the self-titled solo debut from the long-time member of The Jayhawks. The new offering showcases the many sides of the multi-talented TIM O'REAGAN, which are seeing the light of day for the first time as he steps out from around the drum kit and moves into the spotlight. "Tim O'Reagan" features 11 songs written by and mostly performed by O'Reagan. While he handles much of the guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, the album was made with the help of some good friends - Jayhawks Gary Louris, Mark Olson, Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg, Son Volt bassist Jim Boquist and even his mom and dad, who add some violin and whistle to the mix. The album opens with the infectiously catchy 'These Things' and follows with the melodious 'Black & Blue.' The sweeping 'Highway Flowers' is beautiful acknowledgement to the roadside memorials we see too often, while 'Play Thing' features classic Monkees/Beatles-esque Pop. Not bad for a guy who used to hear music in terms of locking the kick drum to the bass line. But judging from Tim O'Reagan, something deeper was stirring even as he was breaking into music on the R&B circuit in Kansas City. Eventually he and his friend Todd Newman put a band together called the Leatherwoods and headed to the Twin Cities. They cut one album, "Topeka Oratorio," (co-produced by Paul Westerberg), with O'Reagan quickly finding a foothold in the lively scene that centered on Minneapolis. After four years of playing with the Leatherwoods and others there, Joe Henry recruited him for shows and sessions. Then in 1996, O'Reagan joined The Jayhawks. For more than ten years, that band built its success on a foundation of wisely crafted original material. Their standards, in other words, were high, which made it especially impressive that they would include 'Bottomless Cup' on O'Reagan's first CD with the band, "Sound Of Lies." He started singing around that same time too, all of which got him thinking about doing a project of original music, on his own. "I got a rehearsal space lined up," he remembers. "I got a little more time in my schedule. I got married to a great woman with great health insurance ... and that's what allowed me to finally get to work on this."

06.21.06 (AP) Joe Cocker sang, Little Richard reminisced, and hundreds of friends and relatives of BILLY PRESTON celebrated his musical legacy Tuesday in Inglewood, California during a funeral as vibrant as Preston himself. A brass band played a rollicking version of 'Amazing Grace' during a service filled with tributes to the prolific songwriter and keyboardist who played with the Beatles so often he was sometimes called the fifth member of the band. Preston died June 6th at a hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona at age 59. He battled chronic kidney failure, received a kidney transplant in 2002 and had been in a coma since November. "He made that piano walk and talk," said Little Richard, who discovered Preston, then in high school, took him on tour in the early 1960s and introduced the teen prodigy to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. "There's nobody in this world who could play the piano like Billy Preston," Little Richard told the crowd in the Faithful Central Bible Church's Tabernacle Worship Center. Earlier, Cocker elicited shouts and thunderous applause when he sang the ballad 'You Are So Beautiful' - written by Preston but made famous by the raspy-voiced singer. A Gospel choir clad in bright red sang throughout the almost three-hour service. Other musical performers included Preston's longtime Gospel troupe, former Temptations lead vocalist Ali Woodson and singer Merry Clayton. The mourners also heard letters written by Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and others who toured and recorded with Preston. "I am deeply saddened to lose such a wonderful friend," McCartney wrote. "I love you Billy." Bonnie Raitt, also in a letter, said Preston was "one of the most soulful artists I ever knew." Besides a robust solo career, and his work with the Stones and The Beatles, Preston performed in recording sessions with Aretha Franklin, Sly And The Family Stone and Bob Dylan. He lent his Gospel-tinged touch on piano and organ to classics such as The Beatles' 'Get Back' and The Rolling Stones' 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking?' Known for his ample afro and gap-toothed grin, Preston broke out as a solo artist in the 1970s, winning a best instrumental Grammy in 1973 for 'Outta Space,' and scoring other hits with 'Will It Go 'Round In Circles,' 'Nothing From Nothing.' His duet with Syreeta Wright, 'With You I'm Born Again,' became a favorite at weddings. In 1975, Preston sang on the debut of "Saturday Night Live." Last year he appeared on "American Idol."

06.14.06 (MusicPortal.com) On June 27th, Capitol Records will release the 30th Anniversary Edition of the classic "Fly Like An Eagle" album by the STEVE MILLER BAND. One of the seminal Rock albums of the 1970's and, thirty years hence, its hits are still staples at classic Rock radio. The original album has been remastered for the CD and is presented in 5.1 Surround Sound on an accompanying DVD. "With the Surround Sound mix, people will finally hear the album the way I originally intended it to be heard," says Miller, noting that it was originally recorded for Quadraphonic sound systems. The DVD also contains an exclusive interview with Miller on the making of the record and a two-hour concert. Filmed in September of 2005 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA, the concert footage was taken straight from the live recording made for the giant screen close-ups the night of the show. The result is an undoctored snapshot of the current-day Steve Miller Band. Highlights include a 20-minute version of 'Fly Like An Eagle' with guest guitarist Joe Satriani and appearances by George Thorogood, Paraguayan Gypsy fiddler/harpist Carlos Reyes, and Classical composer Nolan Gasser, who accompanied Miller on piano for the Nat King Cole classic, 'Nature Boy.' To celebrate the release of the 30th Anniversary Edition of "Fly Like An Eagle," which also features three previously unreleased bonus tracks, the Steve Miller Band launching a steady tour of dates in early July that will keep them on the road into November. "We just love to play," says Miller. "This tour will be a blend of everything - we'll do our greatest hits, some acoustic stuff and we'll also be mixing in a lot of jazz and blues." After the success of 1973's "The Joker," the Steve Miller Band's first platinum album, Miller took some time off and retreated to a home he had purchased on a remote hilltop in Marin County, outside Novato, California, where he built a recording studio. It was there that he spent months scrupulously overdubbing "Fly Like An Eagle" and its successor, "Book of Dreams" (the albums had been recorded at CBS Studios in San Francisco). Originally released in May of 1976 against the backdrop of America's Bicentennial celebration, "Fly Like An Eagle" proved to be a career-defining album for the Steve Miller Band. With over four million copies sold to date, "Fly Like An Eagle" is the band's biggest-selling studio album. It spent nearly two years on the Billboard 200, peaking at #3 and yielding the Top 40 singles 'Rockin' Me' (which was the band's second #1 single following 1973's 'The Joker'), the title track, which reached #2 on the...

06.13.06 (AP) Blues legend B.B. King likes to pass the time while on tour relaxing in his jumbo-sized luxury bus, playing dominos and checkers on his silver laptop computer. But King plays a lot more than just computer games, obviously. He's been exceptionally busy lately playing his favorite guitar, Lucille, at tour stops that included Chicago, Santa Cruz, California, and Fort Worth, Texas, as well as his annual homecoming festival in Indianola, Mississsippi. His performance here this weekend was his last scheduled appearance in his home state before he heads off for several more around the U.S. and then on to Europe early next month for his final overseas tour performances. And then back to America for a last leg. "I still will tour domestically somewhat, not nothing like I've been," King told The Associated Press. "It is time to cut down a bit. Now that I am 80 years old, I said that once I'd made it - 80, that is - I would cut back." He also managed during this part of the tour to squeeze in some living history segments for the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, which is under construction near the cotton gin where King once worked. "I went to a place I haven't been in 80 years - my birthplace," King said, with laughter. He was born on a plantation in Itta Bena near Indianola. To find it, he said the crew used audio recordings of his late father giving directions to get there. Hearing Albert King's voice was a very emotional experience for the Blues legend. "My dad never told me he loved me - outward," King said. "He never said it in words, but he had a way of talking to me that made me know," he said. "I learned when he was very pleased with me, he called me 'Jack.' I don't know why. I knew when he said 'Jack,' I could see the look in his eyes." Born Riley B. King, the blues great was named after his father's friend Jim O'Reilly. King said he once asked his father why his name didn't begin with the "O." "He said, 'You didn't look Irish enough,'" King quipped. The memories came flooding back to King during his birthplace visit, including one moment when the father remarked about the son's guitar skills. "He never told me I was good as an entertainer. He did tell me once, 'Boy, you'll never play guitar as good as I am.' I didn't argue with him," King said. King hopes the museum will help keep his music alive. "I want to be able to share with the world the blues as I know it - that kind of music - and talk about the Delta and Mississippi as a whole," he said. "I'm hoping I can live long enough to see it up."

06.12.06 (MusicPortal.com) ELVIS COSTELLO & ALLEN TOUSSAINT have commenced a month-long tour in support of "The River In Reverse," which was recently released via Verve Forecast Records. Elvis Costello And The Imposters, featuring the piano and songs of Allen Toussaint with his Crescent City Horns and guitarist Anthony "AB" Brown, began the trek June 10th, with a 22-date tour extending through July 12th. Costello & Toussaint will also make a headlining appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 30th, performing with Toussaint's band. That date marks their first visit back to New Orleans together since the December 2005 recording sessions for the new album. Since those sessions, Costello & Toussaint have delivered knockout performances at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in February and The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony in New York City in March. The spirited and deeply soulful "The River In Reverse" is comprised of seven songs from Toussaint's matchless catalog; five newly written by the two; and one new song, the title track, written by Costello. "Putting The River In Reverse," a new short film documenting the making of the album, has also been included as a bonus in the initial pressing of the album. Shot and directed by Matthew Buzzell and produced by Brian Gerber, "Putting The River In Reverse" follows Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint as they travel from Hollywood to New Orleans, a city still under curfew in the chaotic aftermath and recovery from Hurricane Katrina. The film captures the recording of songs written in and about the beleaguered city.

06.08.06 (MusicPortal.com) Blues guitar master JIMMY THACKERY teams up with fellow Arkansans the legendary Cate Brothers on the upcoming "In The Natural State," due for release June 26th via Rykodisc Records. Infused with a sharp, crackling Blues energy matched by the Cates Brothers' innate feel for down-home Rhythm & Blues, "In The Natural State" is a guitar lover's delight, complete with the type of fiery solos and stringbending Blues/Rock only Jimmy Thackery can deliver. Up in the Ozarks of northwestern Arkansas where Thackery lives, the worries of modern life are miles away. The air is crisp and clear, but every so often you have to dodge a tornado. "I was about 250 feet away from one the other week," the fabled Blues guitarist says, recalling his chilling encounter with a twister. "It looked like a big white whirling mass of crap. The strangest thing was the way it smelled: Like a combination of cedar and an electrical fire." Good thing Thackery's storm cellar is carved into the side of a mountain. Even when nature's raw elements bid to toss him on his can, the well-traveled musician can dig in and hold his ground. And so it is with "In The Natural State," his debut release on Rykodisc, which serves as a soulful musical tribute to his adopted home - tornados and all. "We just came up with some fun material we all liked and some originals I had in my arsenal," Thackery says of the album. The performers didn't have to travel far to record, as Thackery enlisted the home studio of a friend who runs a local bed-and-breakfast. That may sound wacky, but as the guitarist is quick to note: "It's a world-class studio right here in the woods, and we were all able to go back home for dinner every night. The Cates Brothers have been playing music in these parts for 40-odd years, so this was a totally homegrown project." With a ringing endorsement from Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and the Razorback State's rich musical heritage to draw upon, Thackery and his cohorts fell into an easy groove - thanks in part to their longstanding friendship onstage and off. "We've all played together on live situations, it wasn't a stretch at all," he says. "The album was cut in four days. I was almost knocked out of my tree because there were no glitches, no screw-ups. The whole thing was charmed, in a way." Thackery -- whose 17 years with Washington, D.C., roadhouse warriors the Nighthawks has been followed by an even longer solo career -- infuses the songs with an energy matched by the Cates' innate feel for R&B laced with...

06.07.06 (AP) Jazz pianist and composer HILTON RUIZ, who excelled in a wide variety of styles from Afro-Cuban rhythms to Blues, died early Tuesday in New Orleans, Louisiana - never regaining consciousness after a fall in front of a French Quarter bar. He was 54. Ruiz, who had come to New Orleans from his home in Teaneck, N.J., to work on a Hurricane Katrina benefit project, had been comatose at East Jefferson General Hospital since he fell early May 19th. He died about 3:50 a.m. Tuesday, agent Joel Chriss said in a telephone interview from New York. A jam session had been planned for Tuesday in New York before he died, as a benefit to help pay his medical expenses. Now it is also a memorial, said trumpeter Lew Soloff, a founding member of The Manhattan Jazz Quintet. Although there were early reports that Ruiz might have been beaten, police said witnesses and other evidence indicated he fell. Attorney Mary Howell, retained by his ex-wife, Aida Ruiz, and daughter, also named Aida, said last week that they, too, were convinced that Ruiz had accidentally tripped or fallen. But his ex-wife and daughter said late Tuesday that they had retained a new attorney, Scott Galante. They referred calls to Galante, whose home number is unlisted and whose office was answered by a machine. Capt. John Bryson, a police spokesman, said Tuesday, "All the evidence indicated that he fell. If anyone saw anything else, we beg them to come to us." Ruiz has been described as one of the most versatile musicians in jazz. "He's one of the few musicians on the scene that is equally at home in both the jazz genre and the Afro-Cuban genre in a complete sense. He really could play the blues, too. For real," said trombone player Steve Turre, a long-time friend. "There's a lot of people who dabble with both worlds, but very few can authentically deal with both. And he's one of them." The many musicians with whom Ruiz worked included Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie and Charles Mingus. He was featured on the 1997 video "The Best of Latin Jazz," and his song 'Something Grand' was included on the soundtrack to the film "American Beauty." "I was pretty lucky in being exposed to a lot of different kinds of music, and studying them with good teachers," Ruiz said in a biography on the Telarc International Corp.'s website. Playing with Ruiz, bass player Leon Dorsey said, "I always knew I had to bring my 'A' game to the table all the time. His musicality, artistry, passion - all those things were just melded, and they all happened at a very high level. All worked in perfect symmetry."

06.06.06 (AP) BILLY PRESTON, the exuberant keyboardist who landed dream gigs with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and enjoyed his own series of hit singles, including 'Outta Space' and 'Nothing From Nothing,' died Tuesday at 59 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Preston's long-time manager, Joyce Moore, said Preston had been in a coma since November in a care facility and was taken to a hospital in Scottsdale Saturday after his condition deteriorated. "He had a very, very beautiful last few hours and a really beautiful passing," Moore said by telephone from Germany. "He went home good." Preston had battled chronic kidney failure, and he received a kidney transplant in 2002. But the kidney failed and he has been on dialysis ever since, Moore said earlier this year. Known for his big smile and towering afro, Preston was a teen prodigy on the piano and organ, and lent his Gospel-tinged touch to classics such as the Beatles' 'Get Back' and the Stones' 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking.' He broke out as a solo artist in the 1970s, winning a "Best Instrumental" Grammy in 1973 for 'Outta Space,' and scoring other hits with 'Will It Go 'Round In Circles,' 'Nothing From Nothing' and 'With You I'm Born Again,' a duet with Syreeta Wright. He also wrote Joe Cocker's classic 'You Are So Beautiful,' and co-wrote the soundtrack to the 1970 movie "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" starring Sindney Poitier with Quincy Jones. Other achievements included being a musical guest on the 1975 debut of "Saturday Night Live," and having a song named after him by Miles Davis. Billy Preston's film credits include "Blues Brothers 2000" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." His famed partnership with The Beatles began in early 1969 when friend George Harrison recruited him to play on "Let It Be," a back-to-basics film and record project that nearly broke down because of feuding among band members. Harrison himself quit at one point, walking out on camera after arguing with Paul McCartney. Preston not only inspired the Beatles to get along -- Harrison likened his effect to a feuding family staying on its best behavior in front of a guest -- but contributed a light, bluesy solo to 'Get Back,' performing the song with the band on its legendary "roof top" concert, the last time The Beatles actually performed together live. He was one of many sometimes labeled "The Fifth Beatle." Preston remained close to Harrison and performed at Harrison's all-star charity event, "The Concert For Bangladesh" and at the "Concert for George," a tribute to Harrison, who died of cancer in 2001. He played on solo records by Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon.
