  • Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders Booklet
    THE WARNER BROS. LOSS LEADERS SERIES (1969-1980) Depending On How You Count Them, 34 Essential Various Artist Collections From Another Time We figured it was about time to pull together all of the incredible Warner Bros. Loss Leaders releases dating back to 1969 (and even a little earlier). For those who lived through the era, Warner Bros. Records was winning the sales of an entire generation by signing and supporting some of music’s most uniquely groundbreaking recording artists… during music’s most uniquely groundbreak- ing time. With an appealingly irreverent style (“targeted youth marketing,” it would be called today), WB was making lifelong fans of the kids who entered into the label’s vast catalog of art- ists via the Loss Leaders series—advertised on inner sleeves & brochures, and offering generous selections priced at $1 per LP, $2 for doubles and $3 for their sole 3-LP release, Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies. And that was including postage. Yes… those were the days, but back then there were very few ways, outside of cut-out bins or a five-finger discount, to score bulk music as cheaply. Warners unashamedly admitted that their inten- tions were to sell more records, by introducing listeners to music they weren’t hearing on their radios, or finding in many of their (still weakly distributed) record stores. And it seemed to work… because the series continued until 1980, and the program issued approximately 34 titles, by our questionable count (detailed in later posts). But, the oldsters among us all fondly remember the multi-paged, gatefold sleeves and inviting artwork/packaging that beckoned from the inner sleeves of our favorite albums, not to mention the assorted rarities, b-sides and oddities that dotted many of the releases.

  • It Took More Than 20 Years for Saxophonist
    Players Lou Marini Stars Aligned t took more than 20 years for saxophonist Lou Marini’s new Blujazz CD, Starmaker, Ito see the light of day. Recorded in 1990 and named after a 1937 science fiction novel by Olaf Stapledon, the album features nine orig- inal tracks performed by some of Marini’s best friends and associates. The album’s release was sidetracked due to Marini’s lack of suc- cess in finding a proper label for it, not to men- tion some personal-life distractions that pre- vented him for pursuing it further. More than two decades later, a bit of serendipity led to his renewed interest in the long-shelved but never- abandoned project, which was engineered by world-class producer Jay Messina. “About a year-and-a-half ago, I saw Jay on a recording date, and he said, ‘Where are you storing that, and have you transferred it to dig- ital yet?’” Marini recalled while in Chicago this summer during a tour with James Taylor’s band. “He said, ‘Man, you’ve got to transfer that or you could lose it.’ When I finally heard it digitally, it sounded so great. Jay said I was crazy not to put this out.” Blujazz released the CD this summer, effectively transporting lis- teners, and Marini, simultaneously back in time and firmly into the present. In his long career as a saxophonist and woodwind doubler, Marini, 67, is known for creating accessible music that’s deeply rooted in his straightahead jazz background.

  • Heartwood – Robert Hudson & Tim Hildebrandt Revisit “Nothin' Fancy,”
    Heartwood – Robert Hudson & Tim Hildebrandt revisit “Nothin’ Fancy,” a “lost” Southern Rock belle January 13th, 2009 2 Comments The 1970s were, for many, the glory days of Southern Rock. All across the south great music could be heard from bands such as The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Wet Willie, Marshall Tucker Band and many more. Of those bands that “made it,” dozens more enjoyed a run of regional popularity, soaking up the applause in back-road bars, juke joints and clubs. One such band was Heartwood, whose drummer Robert Hudson’s Web site provides the following history on the seven-piece country-rock outfit. “Heartwood formed in Greenville, NC, in early 1972. The band was originally called The Band from Clayroot which was a little crossroads outside of Greenville. We recorded our first album in a studio in Baily, NC. It was at that time that we changed our name due to pressure from the record company that was concerned about the ‘obvious’ sexual connotation of the word clayroot. We played throughout North Carolina. Just after releasing the album, it was bought by GRC Records based in Atlanta. Their new A&R guy decided that the record should be re-recorded at their new studio in Atlanta. We went in the studio and recorded all the tracks and the ‘new’ Heartwood album was released. Our management company, also located in Atlanta started booking us in Georgia and Alabama a lot so we decided to move to Athens, GA. to be closer to our record company and the new area of gigs.

  • The Capricorn Center
    ! THE THE CAPRICORN CENTER! A PROPOSAL FOR THE USE OF THE FORMER ! CAPRICORN SOUND STUDIOS BUILDING! ! Jared Wright and Chris Nylund, 2014 PROPOSAL OVERVIEW! ! In 2010, the Georgia National Trust named the former Capricorn Sound Studios on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard one of ten Georgia places in peril due to the rich musical history the building represents. Subsequently, The Peyton Anderson Foundation and NewTown Macon partnered to purchase and stabilize the building with the goal of restoring the building and creating a recording studio, music-themed restaurant, museum, gift shop, outdoor amphitheater and loft living spaces.! ! This proposal represents an expansion of those initial ideas and focuses on the installation of an interpretive area and archive within the central portion of the building that includes the studio’s live room, control room and former offices. The plan outlines the development of these areas as the first phase of the project, which will allow the Capricorn Sound Studios building to generate revenue and interest within the community while the other phases of the project continue to be developed and completed as it transforms into a multi-purpose facility known as the Capricorn Center! ! Other potential partners for this project include, but are certainly not limited to, the Otis Redding Foundation and family, the Tubman African American Museum, and the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House. These organizations and institutions have ties to the Capricorn Sound Studios building and are potential partners in its revitalization. An effort has also been made to involve the city’s institutions of higher education in order to provide a sturdy backbone for the proposal’s academic and interpretive elements.
