  • Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa Black Coffee PRD75441
    Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa Black Coffee PRD75441 Grammy Nominated Artists Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa release their new record ‘Black Coffee’ on January 26th via: Provogue (Europe) and J&R Adventures (US & Canada) Featuring songs made famous by Edgar Winter, Ray Charles, Etta James, Steve Marriot, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Lucinda Williams, LaVern Baker & more. It has been 4 years since Grammy nominated and number 1 Billboard Blues album Seesaw was released by singer- songwriter and blues-rock powerhouse Beth Hart and guitar hero Joe Bonamassa. Since then, they have both been on fire, both in the studio and live. So, the time was perfect to reunite for another collection of ten soul gems that encompass Hart’s breath-taking vocals and Joe’s masterfully expressive playing. Black Coffee will be released on January 26th, 2018. With producer extraordinaire Kevin ‘The Caveman’ Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Rush) back at the helm, the result digs deep into the soul catalogue where they honour and re-imagine songs from Edgar Winter, Etta, James, Ike & Tina Turner/Steve Marriot, Ella Fitzgerald, Lil’ Green, LaVern Baker, Howlin’ Wolf, Lucinda Williams and Waldeck. Recorded in 5 days at Studio at the Palms, Las Vegas in August 2016 they have once again recalled some familiar names in Anton Fig (Drums/Percussion), Ron Dziubla (Saxophone), Lee Thornburg (Horn Arrangements/Trumpet/Trombone) and welcomed in Reese Wynans (Keyboards), Michael Rhodes (Bass), Rob McNelley (Rhythm Guitar), Paulie Cerra (Saxophone), Mahalia Barnes (Backing Vocals), Jade Macrae (Backing Vocals) and Juanita Tippins (Backing vocals). Talking about the sessions behind Black Coffee, Seesaw, 2011’s Don’t Explain and 2014’s Live in Amsterdam, Shirley gives some insight of what they are looking to achieve; “We’re trying not to dig into a playbook that’s been done many times, which is the old soul classics.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Working Class Boy by Jimmy Barnes Working Class Boy Review – Heartfelt Jimmy Barnes Doco Mixed Blessing for Cold Chisel Fans
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Working Class Boy by Jimmy Barnes Working Class Boy review – heartfelt Jimmy Barnes doco mixed blessing for Cold Chisel fans. W hen people reflect on a particular time and place important to their lives, they often discuss how it affected their senses – recalling smells, textures, the weather. In the director Martin Scorsese’s excellent 2005 Bob Dylan documentary, No Direction Home, the musician recalls his youth in the bitterly cold American midwest, connecting chilly temperatures with a greater drive towards creative activities. In Working Class Boy the subject – 62-year-old Scottish-Australian singer-songwriter Jimmy Barnes – remembers the smell of mud and smoke and the texture of soot-coloured buildings in Glasgow, where he spent his earliest years. Returning to woebegone neighbourhoods, the veteran rocker speaks of the unique properties of this city, “one of the only places in the world where you can get your jaw broken and your heart broken at the same time”. Barnes recalls feeling cold, hungry and afraid. His mother had five children by the time she was 21 and their family lived in a rough-as-guts community ravaged by poverty and alcoholism. Born James Dixon Swan, the subject pledges that the film that follows will be “the story of how I became Jimmy Barnes”. Adapted from the bestselling memoir and stage show of the same name, the director Mark Joffe is more interested in Barnes’ past than the person he became. Nobody says it directly, but there is a powerful insinuation throughout the film (which opens this week on the largest number of screens of any Australian documentary in history) that the rocker’s difficult life has profoundly infused his music, including that distinctive wall-rattling voice.
