Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan, and nicknamed “Lady Day’ by legendary saxophonist Lester Young, influenced singers, jazz and otherwise, for generations and continues to do so today. Her voice is instantly recognizable and one can feel the emotion in every phrase, note and inflection. The last decade of her life was tumultuous to say the least, with alcohol and drugs beginning to take their inevitable toll, and with relationships that were turning sour. To these ears the pain just added more poignancy to her singing. God Bless the Child was written by Holiday after an argument with her mother; it was to become her best ‐selling song and the one covered most often. God Bless The Child: The Best of Billie Holiday is the perfect salute to this timeless voice.

The exclusive concert experience tributing blues legends Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf was filmed at Red Rocks Amphitheater over Labor Day weekend in 2014. Carved into the bedrock of Colorado’s majestic Rocky Mountains, the famed amphitheater sets the stage for Bonamassa’s fiery delivery of over 2.5 hours of bluesy guitar‐wailing and horn‐filled tunes honoring the two Blues greats. Playing to a sold‐out crowd of 9,000 fans, this marks the biggest show of Bonamassa’s career, a major milestone for the bluesman. The Blu‐ray and DVD contains over 1.5 hours of bonus features including exclusive behind the scenes footage, a photo gallery, historic footage of Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, and a featurette of Bonamassa and producer Kevin Shirley’s trip to The Crossroads.

Los Angeles‐based group’s 2013 major label debut, Waiting for the Dawn [Photo Finish], debuted at #4 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and yielded the hit "San Francisco". Following its release, the band performed on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CONAN, Watch What Happens Live, and more. Between headline tours and runs supporting everybody from Walk The Moon to Manchester Orchestra and racking up over 24 million Spotify plays, their interpretation of love became even clearer, and it defines their sophomore outing, Kids In Love. On this album, the group teamed up with producer Tony Hoffer [The Kooks, Silversun Pickups, Fitz & The Tantrums] as well as their prior collaborators known as Captain Cuts (Smallpools, Tove Lo) and with Matt Radosevich (Walk The Moon, One Direction).
