  • Roots-Stjerneskuddet Valerie June Betager I VEGA
    2013-11-05 13:27 CET Roots-stjerneskuddet Valerie June betager i VEGA VEGA og ICO præsenterer Roots-stjerneskuddet Valerie June betager i VEGA Valerie June har med sin blændende stemme og sit særegne mix af alle stilarter, roots-genren har at byde på, imponeret anmeldere og The Black Keys' forsanger, Dan Auerbach, der har produceret hendes debutalbum. Oplev hende tirsdag den 15. april i Lille VEGA. Valerie June formår at smelte blues, folk, gospel, soul og bluegrass sammen til en indtagende form for fusions-roots, som hun selv kalder “organic moonshine roots music”. Beskrivelsen passer meget godt på den autencitet, hendes musik gennemstrømmes af. Som den største naturlighed formår hun at favne størstedelen af den amerikanske musikhistorie, hvor der både er strejf af Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday og lidt Wanda Jackson. Den selvlærte sangerinde har en fortryllende evne til at række ind og ruske lytterens musikalske hukommelse rundt, så følelser og minder flagrer rundt i nye konstellationer. Da hun tidligere i år spillede shows til branchefestivalen SXSW, strømmede anmelderroserne ind, og pladeselskaberne stod i kø for at signe hende. Dan Auerbachs aftryk Efter at have arbejdet sig frem mod et større gennembrud de sidste ti år, fik Valerie June uventet hjælp fra MTV-serien $5 Cover, som handler om Memphis-musikere, der kæmper for at starte en karriere. Hendes uafrystelige stemme fangede opmærksomheden hos producer Kevin Augunas (Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Florence & The Machine). Sammen med The Black Keys-forsangeren Dan Auerbach indspillede de debutalbummet Pushin’ Against a Stone. Sydstatssumpe og ikoner Førstesinglen fra albummet er den standhaftige blues-pop-hymne ”Workin’ Woman Blues”.

That fact does not make him an overly obsessive fan — it makes him one of the most respected, envied (and occasionally pitied) audio engineers in the business. Pridden started as road manager for the band in the early ’60s and gradually began mixing live shows and helping Pete Townshend with his demo recordings. His first label credit was in 1972 as mixer and producer of his friend Eric Clapton’s Rainbow Concert LP (the re- released Rainbow was remixed and remastered by another longtime Who associate, producer Jon Astley). Pridden is currently on the road with The Who’s JBL-sponsored North American tour.

  • John Mellencamp
    JOHN MELLENCAMP Born October 7, 1951 in Seymour, Indiana, John Mellencamp fell in love with music at an early age and was gigging in local bars and fronting a soul band by the time he was 14. His professional music career began in earnest in 1976 when MCA Records released his first album, The Chestnut Street Incident. His manager dubbed him Johnny Cougar out of his belief that nobody would buy a record by anybody named Mellencamp. John protested but was overruled and eventually, of course, reclaimed his birth name as his public name. After releasing a few albums, he broke out in 1979 with his first hit, "I Need A Lover" In 1982 his fifth album American Fool was the year's best-selling album on the strength of two huge hits, "Hurts So Good," and the number 1 single "Jack & Diane,"!! The albums that followed in the 80's, Uh-Huh, Scarecrow, Lonesome Jubilee, and Big Daddy, were released under the name John Cougar Mellencamp. Hit singles during this period included "Crumblin Down," "The Authority Song," "Small Town," "Rain On The Scarecrow," "Lonely Ol Night," ""R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.," "Paper In Fire," "Check It Out," "Cherry Bomb," "Pop Singer," and "Jackie Brown." Mellencamp took the music on the road with a band that many considered the best in the business, playing approximately 1,000 shows around the globe during the decade. In 1985, John's concern for the plight of the American farmer, which had been voiced in the Scarecrow album, brought him together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young in launching Farm Aid.

  • Press Record and Just Get the Hell out of the Way.”
    MAVIS STAPLES “I’m the messenger,” Mavis Staples says on the eve of her 80th birthday. “That’s my job—it has been for my whole life—and I can’t just give up while the struggle’s still alive. We’ve got more work to do, so I’m going to keep on getting stronger and keep on delivering my message every single day.” That message—a clarion call to love, to faith, to justice, to brotherhood, to joy—lies at the heart of ‘We Get By,’ Staples’ spectacular twelfth studio album and first full-length collaboration with multi-GRAMMY Award-winner Ben Harper. Backed by her longtime touring band, Staples breathes extraordinary life into Harper’s compositions on the record, delivering roof-raising performances with both a youthful vigor and a commanding maturity. The arrangements here are spare but weighty, matched by Harper’s suitably lean and thoughtful production, and Staples seizes the opportunity to showcase her remarkable and continued evolution as an artist, one still growing and exploring more than half a century into her storied career. ‘We Get By’ is undoubtedly a timely collection, arriving such as it does in the face of deep social divisions and heightened political tensions, but like everything Staples touches, it’s also larger than any particular moment, a timeless appeal to the better angels of our nature that’s universal in its reach and unwavering in its assurance of better things to come. “When I first started reading the lyrics Ben wrote for me, I said to myself, ‘My God, he’s saying everything that needs to be said right now,’” Staples remembers.
