Butch Walker to Release Exclusive Vinyl LP 'Cassette Backs' for Record Store Day on 11/2510/27/2016 (Press Release) Grammy nominated guitar-slinger, troublemaker, raconteur, producer, and Georgia boy Butch Walker will release an exclusive vinyl LP titled Cassette Backs for Record Store Day on November 25th. Recorded and mixed by Walker on an 80's Teac 244 4-track cassette multitrack recorder, the LP will feature unreleased demos and 4-track recordings from the Stay Gold sessions, Walker's 8th and most fully realized release yet, revealing the jubilant spirit that guided the sessions for his latest album. Walker's 2015 release Afraid of Ghosts saw the typically buoyant rocker reveal a more subdued and vulnerable side following the passing of his father. It was a turning point for the prolific producer and songwriter as it was the first time Walker put someone else (Ryan Adams to be specific) in the drivers seat for recording. After the long tour supporting Afriad Of Ghosts, Walker was more than ready to turn it up and blow it out with Stay Gold, once again conspiring with Adams who is credited with "guitar, piano, vision, and overall album concept," much to the delight of Walker's legions of longtime fans. Cassette Backs compiles stripped-down early versions of standout songs from Stay Gold, including a stunningly sparse version of the album's title track, alongside previously unreleased songs about hoodlum friends, exasperating kids, old times and lost loves with hints of doo wop, folk, pop, rock and everything in between. Cassette Backs is an unvarnished look at a prolific artist in full control, liberated from pretense and dedicated to the noble pursuit of Rock and Roll. Track List: 01) It's Gotta Get Easier 02) Jamie 03) Wilder In The Heart 04) Bad Friends 05) Stay Gold 06) Smoke and Mirrors 07) Did We Ever Really Fall In Love? 08) Roll Me Out LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Although every day is a great day to visit your local brick-and-mortar record store, a visit on Record Store Day/Black Friday (November 25th) is essential. Omnivore Recordings has four vinyl titles available that day at record stores only: Big Star’s Complete Third, Vol. 1: Demos to Sessions to Roughs; the Beach Boys’ Becoming the Beach Boys:Highlights from the Hite & Dorinda Morgan Sessions; the Bangles’ Ladies and Gentlemen … The Bangles!,; and J aco Pastorius’ Jaco: Original Soundtrack. In September 1961, Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Carl Wilson, and Dennis Wilson stepped up to a microphone together for the first time at the home of Hite and Dorinda Morgan to demo The Beach Boys’ first three songs, under the Morgans’ direction. Between that date and the following March, before signing a seven-year contract with Capitol Records in July 1962, the group committed nine songs to tape. Some of these tunes became iconic, others remained obscure. Omnivore recently released a two-CD set of this material, including various takes. Uncut noted, “This pastiche of past and present contains the seeds of a predominant strain of ’60s music.” NPR’s Fresh Air spotlighted the package. And now, available for the first time on vinyl will be Highlights From Becoming the Beach Boys: The Complete Hite & Dorinda Morgan Sessions, a distillation of the initial package. The set comes in blue, red, or yellow vinyl variations.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.– PBR (Professional Bull Riders) has announced an additional music act to an already star-studded musical lineup that will perform for fans during PBR Finals Week in Las Vegas (Oct. 29 – Nov. 6). Joining the list of star power is popular country music artist, Dustin Lynch. Lynch, who grew up watching PBR with his dad, will join other confirmed artists, Colt Ford, Lita Ford, Jerrod Niemann, Warrant, Kyle Park, George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Rick Springfield and the headliner, Steven Tyler, who recently recorded PBR's new anthem, "Hold On (Won't Let Go)." Cumulatively, the artists performing during PBR Finals Week have sold more than 200 million records. With three consecutive No. 1s, two Top 5 albums, platinum-level sales and back-to back summers on one of the biggest tours in country music, Lynch has been on a steady path toward superstardom. But now with the release of “Seein’ Red,” the Broken Bow recording artist is shifting into high gear. The first single from Lynch’s soon-to-be-announced third album, “Seein’ Red” is a fist-pumping blast of intensity full of flirtatious heat and tangled-up passion, and the next step in the Tennessee native’s evolution. Lynch has just finished his second tour in a row with master showman and ACM Entertainer of the Year, Luke Bryan. “The PBR has been a part of my whole life. Growing up my dad and I would count down the minutes to watching it on TV,” Lynch said. “I'm a huge fan and it's an honor to be associated with such an iconic and badass sport and be a part of the Finals.” |
