| Robert Cray Band - Nothin' But Love With 5 Grammy Awards, 15 nominations, over 12 million of records sold worldwide, and thousands of sold out performances, rock blues icon Robert Cray is considered “one of the greatest guitarists of his generation.” Rolling Stone Magazine in their April 2011 issue credits Cray with reinventing the blues with his “distinct razor sharp guitar playing” that “introduced a new generation of mainstream rock fans to the language and form of the blues” with the release of his Strong Persuader album in 1986. Since then, Cray has gone on to record fifteen Billboard charting studio albums and has written or performed with everyone from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, from Bonnie Raitt to John Lee Hooker. Recently inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame at the age of 57, he is the youngest living legend to receive the prestigious honor. And while he can look back over an astonishing three-decade career punctuated by his trademark sound and distinct playing style, Robert Cray is too busy moving forward on an amazing journey that has him releasing his sixteenth studio album and embarking on yet another world tour. Nothin But Love will be both his first collaboration with the Provogue Records label and super-producer Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, The Black Crowes, Joe Bonamassa). This ten-song stand includes material from all four Robert Cray Band members; Cray (vocals / guitar), Jim Pugh (keyboards), Richard Cousins (bass) and Tony Braunagel (drums) that blends blues, rock, soul and jazz with a lyric-sheet that examines the triumphs, fallouts and follies of love. “Kevin did an amazing job producing this album and I’m really happy with the outcome,” says Cray, “he captured the real essence of the Robert Cray Band, that live energy we deliver on the road that is usually so difficult to nail down in the studio. I think it’s one of the strongest records that we’ve done.” And he’s right. In terms of production, long-time fans will be thrilled with a recording featuring what Shirley calls “the dirt under the fingernails.” Recorded live over a two-week burst at the Revolver Studios in LA, Nothin But Love features the soaring breakup blues of “Won’t Be Coming Home”, the jazz chops of “I’ll Always Remember You”, the soul-drenched ode to repossession that is “Great Big Old House” to the frantic ’50s-flavoured rocker “Side Dish.” Cray still remembers the first love that led him here. “My dad was in the army, so we moved around quite a bit,” he explains. “I had a lot of time and the guitar became my friend. Also, when I first picked up a guitar, The Beatles were just out, and that’s why I got one. That’s why a lot of kids got guitars. The whole atmosphere of that time was, ‘Hey, I learnt this’. ‘Well, let me show you this…’ So that’s what sparked my interest, and it never really went away.” Cray cites Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy and B. B. King as formative guitar influences, alongside singers like Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland, but just as pivotal for the aspiring bluesman was witnessing Albert Collins play a set at his high-school dance. It was that Collins performance that led to the formation of the Robert Cray Band in 1974, a four piece touring band featuring Cray on lead vocals and guitar and longtime friend Richard Cousins on bass, whose thrillingly modern take on the blues was the talk of the circuit, even if the singer was a bit of an introvert on stage. “I just couldn’t speak to the audience,” says Robert with a smile, “so Richard would do all the introductions. These days I think I’m better at it.” In 1976 after two years of touring and in the first of many pinch-yourself moments the band was invited to be the house band for Albert Collins; a stellar musical apprenticeship and schoolboy fantasy that lasted over 18 months. Opening their account with 1980’s Who’s Been Talkin’, the Robert Cray Band fired off three albums in quick succession, and although 1985’s False Accusations hijacked the charts and won an industry blues award, it was the following year’s Strong Persuader that achieved lift-off, hitting a US#13 chart position that was unprecedented for a blues record in the synthesizer age. “I guess Strong Persuader just captured a good spirit and energy,” Cray reflects. “People are still calling out for some of those songs at shows. It gave us a good springboard. I guess it was the songs, but it was also the era, because radio and MTV gave us a foothold, and we had videos out too.” Cray had arrived in the big league. As singles like “Smoking Gun” scaled the singles charts across the planet and word spread of his incendiary live shows, his name began to be mentioned in the same breath as the blues heavyweights, and he was regularly to be found working alongside them. He spent the years that followed guesting on Eric Clapton’s Journeyman album, jamming live with Keith Richards, appearing in Tina Turner’s TV special Break Every Rule, posthumously inducting Howlin’ Wolf into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and supplying solos for the late John Lee Hooker. “We became good friends,” says Cray of this latter hero. “We were with the same agency, so we did a lot of shows together. I went to Japan with John Lee and watched as the Japanese fans mobbed him. It was fantastic. He was a real one-off.” The oft-quoted line reads ‘bluesmen improve with age’, and Cray’s evolving output through the next two decades gives weight to the theory. “In the ’90s, we had the I Was Warned album (1992), and then Sweet Potato Pie (1997), which was a Memphis kind of thing that got into the soul bag,” he recalls. “I really liked those two records: there was some good songwriting.” In 2000 he took home a Grammy for the album Take Your Shoes Off and went on to release two additional Grammy nominated albums Twenty (2005) featuring the poignant anti-Iraq war song of the same name, and This Time (2009) featuring the soul drenched favorite “I Can’t Fail.” The following year, the Robert Cray Band release the live album Cookin’ In Mobile (2010) and once again toured worldwide to sellout crowds. “We have been very lucky,” says Cray, “with music becoming mostly digital in recent years and artists not selling the same number of physical records, we’re afforded the luxury of having a great loyal and amazing fan base around the world, allowing a band like ours to continue to work.” It’s quite a humble and unassuming statement, given his illustrious career – but that’s always been Cray’s style. He doesn’t take anything for granted, doesn’t rest on his laurels. So on this sixteenth studio release, Robert Cray is once again laying down his cards, testing his talent, fusing that dazzling voice to some of the most powerful material in his three-decade back catalogue and offering his fans Nothin But Love. Nothin’ But Love is not the kind of album you have a casual fling with. It’s the kind of album you fall for. |

| Rock Ola - Beautiful Rough – Best Of Olan uusi kokoelma CD missä mukana myös muutama julkaisematon biisi. Onnea Rock-Ola 50v !! Suomen rock-kuninkaita on valittu jo 50-luvun lopulta lähtien ja onpa joku saattanut julistaa itsensä kuninkaaksi ilman valintaakin. Rock-Ola ei aatelista titteliä ole tarvinnut, vaikka lukuisten ihailijoittensa mielestä kuuluukin kuninkaiden joukkoon. Rock-Ola on antanut musiikkinsa puhua puolestaan ja jättänyt kilpailut niille jotka eivät omin avuin pärjää. Olli "Ola" Pihlajanmaa sai rokkikeuhkokuumeen monien ikäistensä tavoin 70-luvun lopun teinivuosinaan. Tauti osoittautui vaaralliseksi ja pysyväksi, muttei sentään tappavaksi. Jälkiseurauksena Olalle jäi legendaarisen levyautomaatin mukaan tullut taiteilijanimi Rock-Ola ja mikä parasta, ääni joka nosti hänet rock'n'roll-laulajien maailmanluokkaan. Kuten niin monen muunkin, myös Rock-Olan ensimmäinen idoli oli rock-kuninkaitten kuningas Elvis Presley. Elviksen vaikutusta on hänen laulussaan mahdotonta olla huomaamatta, vaikkakaan mihinkään imitointiin Ola on viisaasti osannut olla sortumatta. Maailmassa on ollut vain yksi Elvis, mutta ei ole toista Rock-Olaakaan. Näin on myös Olan toisen suuren vaikuttajan, jazzlaulajatar Billie Holidayn kohdalla. Holidayn vaikutus tuo Olan tulkintoihin sellaista herkkyyttä, jota harvemmin rock'n'rollin laulajilla kuullaan. Soittajanuransa Ola aloitti rumpalina, mikä kuuluu edelleen hänen laulunsa oivaltavassa rytmityksessä. Maanlaajuiseen maineeseen Ola sai kosketusta suosikkiyhtye Johnny And The New Dodgersissa, mutta kun Suomen suosituimman rockabilly-yhtyeen Teddy And The Tigersin johtaja Teddy Guitar pyysi häntä rumpaliksi uuteen Lonestars-ryhmäänsä, alkoi Ola saada ansaitsemaansa huomiota myös solistina. Tässä rockabillyn superbändiksi ylistetyssä kokoonpanossa olivat tasavertaisina laulajina niin Teddy Guitar, Buck Jones kuin Rock-Olakin. Kuten niin usein all-stars -tyyppiset kokoonpanot, jäi Lonestarskin lyhytikäiseksi. Sama ryhmä jatkoi vielä toisen albumin verran uudella nimellä The Falcons, mutta sen tultua tiensä päähän, Ola oli valmis lähtemään omille teilleen. Rock-Olan sooloura oli saamassa kansainvälistä nostetta. Ruotsissa riitti keikkoja eri säestysryhmien kanssa lähes joka viikonlopuksi, mutta vieläkin parempaa oli luvassa. Vuonna -81 Ola äänitti englantilaisen, vankkaa suosiota rockabillypiireissä nauttineen The Blue Catsin kanssa ensimmäisen oman albuminsa. Lopputulos oli huippuluokkaa, mutta kohtalo painoi peukalonsa alaspäin. Levy-yhtiö Rebel ehti kaatua ennen levyn ilmestymistä ja maailmanvalloitus jäi haaveeksi. Vasta vuonna '96 - viitisentoista vuotta levyn äänitysten jälkeen Jungle Records julkaisi kappaleet CD:llä Slap That Bass. Vaikka Rock-Ola tunnettiin mestarillisena laulajana ja uskolliset ihailijat pysyivät yleisössä, jäi levytysten määrä yllättävän vähäiseksi. Vähäiselle määrälle toi toki positiivista vastapainoa niiden korkea laatu. Seitsemäntuumaisia vinyylilevyjä ilmestyi eri yhtiöiden kautta parin vuoden välein ja Ola jatkoi yhteistyötä mm. Bippin' Pete Trion, Lost Soulsin ja Butterfingersin kanssa. Vuonna -90 Rock-Ola teki uuden aluevaltauksen liittyessään instrumentaaliyhtyeenä tunnetun The Charadesin laulusolistiksi. Perinteisestä rock'n'rollista siirryttiin reippaasti melodisempaan rockiin, mikä jäi pysyvästi kuulumaan Olan tulkinnoissa jatkossakin. Sooloura sai uutta puhtia lopulta vuonna -96, kun Bluelight Records julkaisi albumin Yesterday Is Gone. Se toi esiin Rock-Olan entistäkin monipuolisempana tulkitsijana, mutta valitettavasti levyllä soittanut kokoonpano jäi jälleen lyhytikäiseksi. Kun Ola sai vihdoinkin kasaan uuden yhtyeensä Rock-Ola And The Freewheelers, nousi se oitis suomalaisen rock'n'rollin kärkikaartiin. Bändin nimissä julkaistu Upskirt oli uuden vuosituhannen alussa sekä kaupallinen että arvostelumenestys. Komeasti sujui bänditoiminta jatkossakin, sillä vuonna 2004 julkaistu konserttitaltiointi Live On The Rocks oli vahva näyttö ryhmän keikkakunnosta. Vaikka Rock-Ola ei ole kaupallisessa mielessä saavuttanut ansaitsemaansa menestystä, intohimoiset musiikin ystävät tiedostavat hänen arvonsa. Kun Ola esittää rakastamaansa musiikkia, hän ei pelkästään laula. Hän antaa palan sisintään, osan sielustaan ja sydämestään. Sitä kuulija ei voi olla vaistoamatta ja se nostaa Rock-Olan illasta toiseen tulkitsijoiden kuningasluokkaan. - Honey Aaltonen |

| Rockats - Rockin' Together The Rockats rocked their way from early MTV favorites to genuine musical icons.They founded the modern Rockabilly scene and inspired every “Cat” band that came in their wake. The Rockats place in Rock N’ Roll history has long been stamped in cement. And now, they’re back, reunited to record the masterly twelve-song “Rockin’ Together”. Throughout their impressive career, the Rockats have “rocked together” with other greats: the Clash, Kiss, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Thin Lizzy, and The Pretenders. They’ve also appeared numerous times on network television shows, including Midnight Special, American Bandstand, and Merv Griffin -- and even gave a feature musical performance in the major motion picture, “Where the Boys are 84”. Add to this an RCA hit single, “Make That Move”, and it’s clear why the Rockats have been immortalized in both photography and print by none other than Andy Warhol and Deborah Harry. This April, the band’s Rock N’ Roll odyssey continues with the release of “Rockin’ Together”, featuring the soulful vocals of Dibbs Preston, the innovative upright bass playing of Smutty Smiff, the rebel rousing guitar work of Danny B. Harvey and Barry Ryan, and the solid backbeat of drummers Mike Osborne and Lewis King. |

| Roky Erickson with Okkervil River - True Love Cast Out All Evil Chemikal Underground offers the inestimable Mr Roky Erickson a fond, Glaswegian embrace: thrilled to be working with a bona fide living legend, we're honoured to have The 13th Floor Elevators' frontman allow us to release his first album in 15 years. That the album 'True Love Cast Out All Evil' also features Okkervil River on production and backing duties just makes the whole enterprise all the sweeter... Roky Erickson's life and career is the stuff of darkly fantastic fiction: while his early teenage success with The 13th Floor Elevators pioneered psychedelic garage rock and ensured him a place at the table with rock's most influential artists, the thirty years that followed were a grotesque cavalcade of bankruptcy, drug addiction, mental illness, electro-shock therapy, deteriorating health and social withdrawal. That Roky has endured these hardships is a thing of wonder; that he has managed to not only endure but triumph, re-marrying his wife of 35 years (who now shares their home in South Austin), forging a relationship with his previously estranged son (who was instrumental in Roky's recovery) and ultimately returning to the studio to make music again is nothing short of miraculous. The roll call of bands influenced by Roky's music is simply too long to list here: from REM to Spacemen 3, The Jesus And Mary Chain to Julian Cope, ZZ Top to Primal Scream - all of them and more owe a debt to the scuzzed-up garage rock of Erickson and The 13th Floor Elevators. All the more exciting then, to have him return to the studio, this time with Will Sheff from Okkervil River producing and his band provide an impeccably sensitive backdrop for Roky's heart-rending vocals. The result, 'True Love Cast Out All Evil', is a profoundly moving and honest potrayal of a life, once blighted by addiction, incarceration and mental illness, but now rediscovered through the patient help and support of family and friends. Not ones to be overly sycophantic with such things we at Chemikal have to come right out and say that the themes of loss and redemption on this album, Roky's vocal performances and the jaw-dropping back-story to its creation make 'True Love Cast Out All Evil' one of our most significant releases and we couldn't be more proud to be involved. |

| Ronnie And His Twanging Little Fellow - Ronnie And His Twanging Little Fellow Ronnien räväkän instrurockin keitos muodostuu, kun Sonicsien, Dick Dalen ja Link Wrayn sekaan paistetaan hieman Huevos Rancherosta. Keitosta hämmennetään sulalla hulluudella ja soppa viimeistellään garagemausteessa liekitetyllä puolikypsällä surfilla. Jo toistakymmentä vuotta kasassa ollut yhtye ei pyytele anteeksi, vaan laittaa vahvistimet päälle ja antaa palaa. Yhdessä päivässä idyllisessä miljöössä äänitetty levy on läpileikkaus nelikon musiikilliseen sielunmaisemaan vuosien ajalta. Yhtyeen muodostavat Antti Kukkola, Sami Huotilainen, Tema Lampinen ja Kalle Kotiranta. |

| Ronnie Dawson & High Noon with Lisa Pankratz - The Carnegie Hall Tour 1-CD Digipak (4-plated) with extensive booklet, 19 tracks. Playing time approx. 69 mns. -- Recorded live at the James Dean Rockabilly Weekender, Marion, Indiana on June 25, 1994, and recorded live in the Lasso Productions Studio, Columbus, Ohio on May 5, 1994. -- Ronnie Dawson with Rockabilly Trio, High Noon, and drummer, Lisa Pankratz, were recorded live and in the studio while on a road tour that followed their debut concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on April 29, 1994. These recordings are previously unpublished and are being released for the first time anywhere. -- This is Ronnie Dawson at his absolute rockin' best! His stellar backing band includes, High Noon's Shaun Young, Sean Mencher and Kevin Smith along with Lisa Pankratz. These are the same great Texas musicians who appeared with Ronnie on national television for a live performance on 'The Conan O'Brien Show' in 1995. Includes new versions of classic Ronnie Dawson performed songs such as 'Yum Yum Yum', 'Monkey Beat City', 'Rockin' In The Grave Yard' and 'Rockin' Bones'. -- The live recording contains a sensational impromptu acoustic jam by Ronnie and the band as they keep the party going when the electricity goes out! -- Ronnie Dawson was an incomparable performer who mesmerized crowds with his unique brand of explosive Texabilly, Blues and Rock 'n' Roll music. Ronnie began his career as a teen sensation in late 1950s Dallas, Texas. Known as the 'Blonde Bomber', he had some success with early Rockabilly favorites like 'Action Packed' and 'Rockin' Bones'. Thanks to those early recordings, a renewed interest in Ronnie developed in England and Europe in the late 1980s. Thus began the most prolific years of his life. Ronnie Dawson was fresh, relevant and exciting, not an 'oldies' performer resting on his laurels. All throughout the 1990s and up to his untimely demise at age 64 in 2003, Ronnie continued to amaze with exciting new material and unforgettable performances. The recordings released here for the first time, capture what could surely be called the epitome of Ronnie Dawson during the most thriving and creative years of his life. |

| Ronnie Hawkins And The Hawks - Forty Days Known variously as “Rompin’ Ronnie”, “Mr Dynamo”, “The Hawk” or “The Camel-Walker”, Ronnie Hawkins is one of the truly legendary figures of Rockabilly and R’n’R. Although his crossover commercial successes have been relatively few and far between, his influence - notably on the Canadian Rock scene (he has lived in Canada for more than fifty years) - is immeasurable, the most renowned line-up of his ever-changing backing group, The Hawks, famously going on to world acclaim as The Band. This compilation features Ronnie’s first two Roulette LPs, 'Ronnie Hawkins' (1958) and 'Mr Dynamo' (1960) in their entirety (NB: these are widely acknowledged as his finest recordings), plus a quartet of genuine collectors’ rarities in the shape of two contemporaneous non-album singles. Ronnie’s two early US Top 50 hits ‘Forty Days’ and ‘Mary Lou’ are included herein; both were far bigger hits in Canada, where they made the Top 10, as did ‘Southern Love’, whilst ‘The Ballad Of Caryl Chessman’ (perhaps the first example of a R’n’R singer tackling a controversial political and social issue) made the Canadian Top 50. Like all 50s Rock’n’Rollers, Ronnie retains a massive fanbase and near-legendary status in the UK and Europe. For many years these two LPs were unavailable, and back in the vinyl era were the subject of some fairly heavy bootlegging. It is our very great privilege to be able to include them in this series. |

| Ronski Gang - The Elevens Legendaarinen The Ronski Gang julkaisee odotetun uutuusalbumin "The Elevens" 19.10. Esimakua tulevalta pitkäsoitolta julkaistiin kesän kynnyksellä "All night long"-singlen muodossa. Nyt takaisin kehään palannut bändi on kaikessa hiljaisuudessa äänittänyt kokonaisen albumillisen energisiä rock-biisejä. Edeltävästä virallisesta studioalbumista on ehtinyt vierähtää jo lähes kolmekymmentä vuotta, kun 2005 julkaistiin tuplakokoelma vanhoista hiteistä. Uusi levy "The Elevens" sisältää nostalgiannälkäisille alkuperäisille faneille takuuvarmasti mieluista materiaalia, perinteiseen Ronski Gang-tyyliin. Bändin tuotanto ja soundimaailma on samalla päivitetty nykyaikaan, unohtamatta aitoa ja tinkimätöntä biisimateriaalia. Aito rock elää ja voi hyvin edelleen tänäkin päivänä sukupolvesta riippumatta. "Levyn äänityksissä on pyritty saamaan samankaltaista meininkiä kuin keikoilla, jotta levy ei kuulostaisi tekemällä tehdyltä", sanoo bändin keulahahmo Ronski. "Lähes kaikki albumin biisit on bändin omaa tuotantoa. Näiden lisäksi levyllä on kaksi lainabiisiä, jotka on jo keikoilla muovautuneet bändin käsittelyssä kuin ne olisivat omia biisejämme", kertoo rumpali Hate Menestyksekäs historia The Ronski Gang on suomirockin legendaarisimpia ja pitkäikäisimpiä yhtyeitä. Bändi teki ensimmäiset keikkansa jo vuonna 1968. Kaksi vuotta myöhemmin tuli voitto Lahden Suurlavalla järjestetyissä Suomen popbändikisoissa. Sen myötä keikkailu tiivistyi, suosio kasvoi ja vuonna 1975 ilmestyi ensimmäinen albumi "Ronski & Exotic". Kolme ensimmäistä levyä julkaistiin kyseisen bändin nimellä, kunnes lopulta nimeksi vakiintui The Ronski Gang. 70-luvun lopulla ja 80-luvun ensimmäisinä vuosina Ronskin ryhmä oli yksi Suomen suosituimmista live-kokoonpanoista, yleisöennätyksiä rikottiin ympäri Suomea. Vuonna 1984 bändi jäi tauolle, mutta teki paluun keikka-areenoille 90-luvulle tultaessa. 2000-luvun alusta lähtien bändi on keikkaillut harvakseen tehden muutamia keikkoja vuosittain. Nyt lukuisten fanien toive toteutuu ja odotus palkitaan, kun The Ronski Gang aktivoituu todenteolla - 43 vuotta perustamisensa jälkeen! Nykykokoonpanon peruskiven muodostavat kolme alkuperäisjäsentä, eli veljekset laulaja Harry "Ronski" Sjöblom ja rumpali Hans "Hate" Sjöblom sekä basisti Kaj "Misteri" Eklund. Tuplakitara -osastosta ovat jo vuodesta 2004 saakka vastanneet Vesa Kääpä tai Mikko Rintanen ja Kiffe "Haten poika" Sjöblom. Alkuperäisen äijärockin kuninkaat ovat palanneet kovassa iskussa. |

| Roomates - Dawning It was around the end of 1986, when the new wave rockabilly scene had passed its peak, that four friends and I, who had all been on the scene in one way or another since the late 70s, decided to start a doo wop group. It wasn’t until we were choosing which songs to attempt that we realised we all had a love of groups such as the Passions, Elegants, Mystics, Imaginations, Jay & the Americans and, last but not least, Dion & the Belmonts. After a few name and personnel changes we find ourselves 25 years and 11 CDs later. “Dawning” includes many of the songs we used to rehearse a cappella down any subway we could find back in those early days, plus some especially written new ones. Some of the songs will be well-known to doo wop collectors. There are also some obscure titles and a couple not associated with vocal groups, including Andy Williams’ ‘Music To Watch Girls By’, my own personal choice. Some of our most complex harmonies to date can be heard on our version of the Beach Boys’ classic ‘In My Room’. As on all Roomates CDs, we have recorded some Dion tracks, both with and without the Belmonts. Some of the numbers we found by accident on cassette tapes Nick used to make for us to take home after our early rehearsal sessions. Many songs we have recorded throughout our 25 years, including some of those here, were suggested to us by our fans around the world. It seems a long time ago since those early days when we would get together for fun at Nick’s with never any intention of singing on stage, travelling to different countries, meeting fans of our music and even getting to know some of the original members of the groups who have inspired the Roomates sound, which culminated with us getting to sing with our long-time hero Dion DiMucci back in November 2007. It’s been nearly five years since the last full Roomates CD. We think “Dawning” is probably our best to date and I’m sure our fans will also. By Steve Webb (Ace Records) |

| Rory Storm And The Hurricanes - LIve At The Jive Hive March 1960 "Although the history of Merseybeat & the growth of the Beatles have been examined in forensic detail there are still discoveries to be made & sometimes something special comes along that is both unexpected and exciting. How come over 50 years on we now have a full set from Rory Storm & The Hurricanes in 1960? They are on great form and whats more the set has been professionally recorded". "As someone who has followed every niche of Merseybeat I have never come across anything like this & I am delighted to be telling you about it. Although up to 125 Liverpool beat groups were performing at any one time over the city and it's suburbs precious few live recordings were made & this is the first time that a full set from a Merseyside group recorded before 1963 has been released. |

| Rosie Flores & The Pine Valley Cosmonauts - Girl Of The Century With over half a century of hard roots-rabbling between them, Rosie Flores—the Rockabilly Filly, and Jon Langford—head Mekon, Waco Brother and conductor of the Chicago-based collective the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, blast a sonic contrail stretching from Texas to Wales, from the dusty hill country to the dusky fetter cairns. These two long-celebrated musical forces, one with her cowboy boots firmly in the dance halls and the other with his work boots sloshing around puddles of beer in the pubs, come together for Girl of the Century, an album of spirited and soulful romps through the back roads of American music. Recorded live-in-the-studio hot with the Cosmos tackling their task at the knees, Girl of the Century crackles with effusive energy. Anchored by the crack rhythm section of Tom Ray (Neko Case, Devil in a Woodpile) on bass and Joe Camarillo (Waco Brothers, Dollar Store) on drums, the Cosmos find a groove and lock it in, be it the suave blues of “Chauffeur,” the Bob Wills smooth swing of “Little Bells” or the wild rockabilly of “This Little Girls Gone Rockin’.” Throughout, Pat Brennan’s stone-cold honky-tonk piano and John Rice’s count-in fiddle keep the boots firmly on the rail. Rosie’s front and center vocals have never sounded better. From her saucy growls to kittenish sass to clarion Ronnie Spector smarts, there’s a versatility here she’s only hinted at on previous albums. Smooth, cheek to cheek balladry like “Last Song” and “Dark Enough,” a torch number so swampy it’s easy to imagine her draped over a mossy piano, sashay against a more playful and powerful side when she gets her pop rocks off Maggie May-ish blue-eyed soul style on the Langford penned “Halfway Home” or the Little Sisterera Elvis rocker “This Cat’s in the Doghouse” co-written by Patricia Vonne. For a little slice of heaven from the Conway and Loretta playbook, look no further than the old school duet with Langford “Whose Gonna Take Your Garbage Out?” It’s all Texas twang and blustery, rolling rrrr’s. Given that this is a Rosie Flores album, though, one expects guitar heroics. With Langford’s chunky punk roots, John Rice’s clean lines and Rosie’s off the charts vivacity and dexterity, Girl of the Century delivers with a handful of spades. There’s revved up runs straight outta Sun Records on “This Little Girls Gone Rockin’,” the exaggerated wah wah on” I Ain’t Got You,” and urgent straight up rock and roll in “You’re the One.” Check out the jolt she provides on the oft-covered Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm.” This album is a gas, friends. We're ever so happy to bring these two super cool artists together. |

| Routers - A-Ooga!!! Stamp & Shake Limited edition of 1500. Most UK football fans would be surprised to learn that one of the most instantly recognisable hand-clapping chants heard throughout England’s soccer grounds during the 60s was created by two brothers born on a small farm in rural Illinois, Lanny and Robert Duncan. Having settled in Los Angeles, Lanny was signed by A&R man Joe Saraceno, who was looking for likely pop stars in the early 60s teen idol mould. Lanny was not only a pop star in waiting but, when paired with songwriting partner Robert, also a source of catchy instrumentals, such as the Routers’ ‘Let’s Go’ – an irresistibly infectious tune delivered by the twangy guitar of Tommy Tedesco, the rasping sax of Plas Johnson and the big beat of drummer Earl Palmer. Layered on top of everything was the most maddeningly contagious sequence of handclaps that virtually begged you to clap along. And the world did. Joe Saraceno and his right-hand man, writer and musician Michael Z Gordon, had already scored a couple of instrumental hits with their independent productions released on Liberty under the name of the Marketts. The duo had everything at their fingertips to create more of the same; top arrangers Ernie Freeman and Rene Hall and the cream of LA session guys were on call. They had so many good commercial ideas that they created a second vehicle for their productions under the name of the Routers. Saraceno took the master for ‘Let’s Go’ to Joe Smith at Warner Bros and watched as the disc rose to #19 towards the end of 1962, and then make it up to #32 early the following year in the UK. Saraceno preferred his easygoing relationship with Smith and so transferred the Marketts’ future releases to Warner Bros (the best of which can be heard on their Ace CD “Outer Space, Hot Rods & Superheroes” CDLUX 006). As well as providing ideas, helping with arrangements and production and writing some of the material, Michael Z Gordon also took charge of promotion by leading several line-ups of touring musicians (including Scott Walker at one time) out on the road as both the Marketts and the Routers. In the CD booklet Michael recalls some of his experiences on the road. He also very kindly provided several photos of the touring bands he led, several of which have not been seen before. “A-Ooga!!! Stamp & Shake With The Routers” collects together the band’s best recordings, including the hits ‘Let’s Go’ and ‘Sting Ray’, all of the rare non-LP 45s and highlights from their four albums. Best of all, there are four unreleased tracks which we are delighted to present here for the first time anywhere. We confidently declare it the best Routers CD ever. By Dave Burke Pipeline Magazine |

| Roy Lee Johnson - When A Guitar Plays The Blues The first, long overdue, collection of rare but sought-after singles by Roy Lee Johnson, the underground hero of guitar freaks and deep soul fans. Includes 'Mister Moonlight', known to millions by the Beatles but originally by Dr Feelgood and the Interns (vocal: Roy Lee Johnson) and the first version of 'When A Guitar Plays The Blues', since revived by Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan. Eleven previously unissued tracks including four by underrated soul man, Curtis Smith, Johnson's fellow singer-guitarist in the Interns. The most soulful of Sixties soul packaged with all Bear Family's meticulous attention to detail including a lavishly illustrated essay by über-fan and soul authority, Martin Goggin. -- Roy Lee Johnson first came to attention as the occasional vocalist with the Interns, a R&B band led by blues shouter Dr Feelgood, aka Piano Red. But there's a whole lot more to this songwriter, guitarist and singer of soul with a capital 'S'. Johnson's little heard treasures of Southern soul are finally served up on one CD. Everything he recorded for Okeh, Columbia, Josie and Philips is here; records you'd never own without spending months on e-bay and trunkloads of cash. -- There are gritty dance workouts, lilting soul ballads, ferocious instrumentals and devastating deep wrist-slashers from Muscle Shoals. Sixties soul reissues may be coin of the realm these days but few are quite as essential as this scorching collection of Roy Lee Johnson's best performances. |

| Roy Young - The Best Of 50 Years 2CD One of rock'n' roll's greatest entertainers celebrating his half century as a professional musician has put together this 2 CD set of tracks spanning that entire period of rock 'n' roll, blues and soul described by one critic as "a mixture between Little Richard, Ray Charles and Joe Cocker". Roy auditioned back in 1959 for Jack Good and performed on the now legendary BBC TV Show "Oh Boy!" Other TV Shows followed and Roy found himself opening for The BEATLES in Hamburg and subsequently spent 4 years playing on the Reeperbahn. Brian Epstein asked Roy to return to London with The Beatles as he could arrange a recording contract for him-Roy declined as he was committed to his performances in Germany. After returning to the UK Roy joined CLIFF BENNETT & The REBEL ROUSERS and performed on their hits. He released solo albums "The Roy Young Band" in 1971 and "Mr Funky" in 1972 and tracks from those albums are included on this 2CD set. In 1977 DAVID BOWIE asked Roy to play keyboards on his album "Low" which they recorded in Paris. After many years of living in the USA Roy returned to UK in 2000 and returned to live performances including Beatles Festival in Berlin and Star Club, Hamburg 40th anniversary. A new solo album was released in 2002 "Still Young" with tracks written by DENNIS MORGAN one of the most successful songwriters in the world. (from Angel Air website) |

| Royaltones - Detroit Rock'n'Roll Began Here ! Some bands never get the recognition that they deserve. For one reason or another, usually bad deals, bad luck or bad management, they slip below the radar and no-one pauses long enough evaluate their true contribution to this wonderful passion of ours; rock’n’roll. The Royaltones are just such a band. They helped spearhead white rock’n’roll in Detroit, scored two marvellous instrumental hits and numbered master musicians George Katsakis, Dennis Coffey and Bob Babbitt within their ranks. Yet, somehow, they missed out on all the accolades and fame awarded to much lesser outfits. In 1958 their leader, saxman George Katsakis, made his recording debut on Jack Scott’s double-sided smash ‘Leroy’ / ‘My True Love’ and featured on most of the excellent material that the singer cut for Carlton. His own band were already rockin’ their way through Detroit, and within a couple of months the Royaltones joined Scott in the US Top 20 with their catchy instrumental ‘Poor Boy’. It should have been a smooth ride from there but they went mostly unpaid and so were obliged to sue their management - who also happened to be caught up in the payola scandal - and then somehow got dragged into the resulting quagmire as the press enjoyed a field day. Their record company Jubilee, sensing trouble, quietly released them, leaving the band to start out all over again. The Royaltones financed their own Detroit-made recordings and then set off to New York to score a deal with George Goldner’s Goldisc label. ‘Flamingo Express’, their second Goldisc release put them back in the US Top 100 with one of the best rock instrumentals of its time. More 45s followed but Goldner did not really get behind them: there was no LP issued and they missed the big tours and TV shows. Somewhat dispirited they returned to Detroit where they were one of the city’s top draws, soon getting a deal with Embee Productions. Releases by the band on Twirl and Mala included ‘Our Faded Love’, a big regional hit in 1964, subsequently covered by Bobby Rydell with added lyrics by Wink Martindale. Embee owners Balk and Micahnik also saw the value of the group as a back-up band for their other acts, such as Don & Juan and Del Shannon. Uncredited, they appeared alongside Shannon on several of his major hits including ‘Little Town Flirt’, ‘Keep Searchin’’ and ‘Handy Man’. After a succession of high quality 45s they finally called it a day in 1964 when, without prior agreement, Balk put out a single by the band under the solo name of group member Dave Sandy. The Royaltones felt that they had been hi-jacked and disbanded. George Katsakis then followed a multi-pathed career, recording everything from Las Vegas style cabaret to avant-garde experimental music. Guitarist Dennis Coffey and bassist Bob Babbitt both became celebrated session musicians, appearing on many huge Motown classics, while Coffey also enjoyed several US Top 100 hits under his own name. The Royaltones continue to be revered by Detroit musicians who are aware of the pioneering role that the band played in the musical history of the city. This fine, all-embracing retrospective contains their complete recorded output including many rarities, formerly unissued tracks, and even the original acetate of ‘Poor Boy’. At last justice is done. By Dave Burke (Pipeline Magazine) This is the first release in Ace’s new higher priced ‘Deluxe’ series. Each title will be a limited edition of 1000 copies (from ACE Records website) |

| Rumblers - Rumblin' & Rare This new Rumblers set makes the group’s entire output available on CD. (To complete your Rumblers collection, you’ll need our previous Rumblers comp “It’s a Gas”, plus a couple of free-floating oddities exclusive to two of our other compilations of Downey material.) All but eight of the tracks here are hitherto unissued. Of the previously released material, ‘Boss Drums’, ‘Harlem Nocturne’, ‘Walking With The Boss’, ‘Boss Blues’ and ‘Lost Weekend’ are from the only album the group issued in its lifetime (the rest of which is available on “It’s A Gas”). The latter three titles have never been reissued before. ‘Sorry’, ‘Til Always’ and ‘Gospel Truth’ are from single releases. The first two are vocals and the last was the B-side of the 45 the group released under the moniker the Nylons. Nine cuts are released here for the first time anywhere. Of these, ‘Poor Boy’, ‘Underwater’ and ‘Wockytok’ are from the group’s initial Downey sessions, and are contemporary with their big hit ‘Boss’. ‘Slingshot’, ‘Rumblin’ And Stumblin’’, ‘Wedgee’, ‘Charger’ and ‘Saxwax’ are from the second line-up of the band (which cut the great ‘Soulful Jerk’). Then there’s ‘Lots To Learn’, an unreleased vocal track lifted from the session the group did using the name Bel Canto’s, under the production eye of a young Barry White. The booklet contains a host of rarely seen photos supplied by members of the group. By Brian Nevill (Ace Records) |
