  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Wolf Brothers Country Heart Album Free Download
    wolf brothers country heart album free download The Blues Brothers [Original Soundtrack] Comic actors John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd received a lot of flak for their Blues Brothers shtick -- mostly for the albums, not 1980's beloved classic film. But they should be given credit for exposing many people -- including this reviewer -- to the music of blues and R&B veterans. The Blues Brothers soundtrack was released on Atlantic Records. On the surface this doesn't seem unusual, since the Blues Brothers' Atlantic debut, Briefcase Full of Blues, was a number one album; but the movie was released by Universal, and its parent company, MCA, passed on the soundtrack. The rollicking remake of the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" was a hit, featuring an arrangement notable for the horn section that replaces Steve Winwood's rumbling organ work. Ray Charles has a good time with "Shake a Tail Feather," and he's helped out by Jake and Elwood Blues (Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively). The cover of Solomon Burke's "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" is a lot of fun, thanks to the great overall rhythm and Elwood's lightning-fast stage rap, while James Brown and the Reverend James Cleveland Choir provide a blast of gospel music on "Old Landmark." Aretha Franklin's "Think" is explosive, and Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" is slyly irresistible. Charles, Brown, Franklin, and Calloway all have small roles in the film, yet so does John Lee Hooker, but he's not represented here. Wolf brothers country heart album free download.

  • Counting Crows, Hootie & the Blowfish Set to Open the 155 Great
    Counting Crows, Hootie & the Blowfish set to open The 155 th Great Allentown Fair Dual bill of alt rock bands play on Fair’s Preview Night August 28 For Immediate Release Allentown, Pa .Counting Crows and Hootie & the Blowfish, two rock bands that took turns dominating the radio waves in the ‘90s, will open The 155 th Great Allentown Fair on August 28. Tickets for this show go on sale Saturday, June 2. They are $50 and $45. A newcomer to the Fair, Counting Crows’ recording period yielded such fan favorites as “Round Here,” “Mr. Jones,” “Rain King,” “A Long December” and a remake of Joni Mitchell’s song “Big Yellow Taxi.” In 2003, the band scored an Oscar nomination with “Accidentally in Love” from the Shrek 2 soundtrack. Regarded as an exceptional band that routinely alters its standard sets and song arrangements to keep each live show unique, the Crows’ vivacious performances are punctuated by lead singer Adam Duritz’s passionate vocals and engaging stories on stage. Last summer’s CD release, “New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall 2003,” apparently reminded Crows’ followers of the band’s live performance magnetism. Paired with the Goo Goo Dolls, they hit the road selling an average of 10,000 tickets a night for one of the most successful tours in 2006. The Bay Area band is made up of Adam Duritz, David Immergluck, David Bryson, Jim Borgios, Charles Gullingham Dan Vickrey, and Millard Powers. 2 Hootie & the Blowfish exploded on the music scene in 1994 with its album “Cracked Rear View” going platinum 16 times.
