LOS ANGELES – Trans-Siberian Orchestra created a contemporary holiday classic with its multi-platinum trilogy of Christmas concept albums. And for more than 20 years, fans have flocked to TSO’s performances of these celebrated albums. The pandemic may have sidelined the band’s popular holiday tour this year, but that hasn’t stopped TSO from finding new ways to share its epic yuletide music.

The festivities begin with the return of THE CHRISTMAS TRILOGY. This collection, which has been out of print for several years, gathers the entire trilogy – Christmas Eve And Other Stories (1996), The Christmas Attic (1998) and The Lost Christmas Eve (2004). As a bonus, it also includes The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve (1999), a DVD that adds a stunning visual element to TSO’s vivid sound. Updated with new artwork, the 3CD/DVD set will be available tomorrow for $39.98. 

In addition, selections from the trilogy will be featured in a series of video visualizers available on YouTube. Several are online now, including one for “Christmas Jam.” Additional visualizers will be released as Christmas approaches, with the final one – “Christmas Bells, Carousels, & Time” – set to arrive on Christmas Day.  

Thankfully, fans who want to see TSO live this year, won’t be left in the cold. The band will keep its rock holiday tradition alive by bringing a live performance right into fans’ homes with “Christmas Eve and Other Stories Live In Concert,” TSO’s first-ever livestream event. The show promises all-new staging of the group’s beloved album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories. The livestream, available December 18-20, will also include pre-show content, behind-the-scenes footage and classic interview segments. Tickets are on sale now at www.tsolivestream.com.   

TSO’s story began in 1996 when renowned rock producer Paul O’Neill (Aerosmith, Savatage) formed the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Since then, the band has played approximately 2,100 concert dates for more than 17 million fans and has sold in excess of 12 million albums and DVDs.

BLACK SABBATH VOL 4 REVISITED

 

Super Deluxe Edition Of The Band’s 1972 Classic Includes

Newly Remastered Original Album Plus 20

Previously Unreleased Studio And Live Recordings

 

Both 4-CD And 5-LP Versions Will Be Available From Rhino

On February 12

 

 

LOS ANGELES – Black Sabbath unleashed the group’s fourth album in two years in 1972 with Vol 4. Stacked with classic tracks like “Supernaut,” “Changes,” and “Snowblind,” the record harnessed the group’s surging popularity to reach the Top 10 on the Albums Chart in the U.K. and the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., on its path to being certified platinum by the RIAA.

The innovators of heavy metal revisit Vol 4 on a new collection that includes a newly remastered version of the original album along with a trove of 20 unreleased studio and live recordings. VOL 4: SUPER DELUXE EDITION will be available on February 12 as a 4-CD set ($59.98) and a 5-LP set pressed on 180-gram vinyl ($109.98), Both versions come with extensive booklets featuring liner notes with quotes from the era from all four band members, rare photos, and a poster with previously unpublished early artwork of the album using the working title Snowblind. Both the 4-CD and 5-LP versions are available for pre-order now at the Rhino.com store

The newly remastered version of the original album will also be available on digital download and streaming services on the same day. Click HERE to listen to the newly remastered version of “Tomorrow’s Dream,” available today digitally.

Bolstered by a fresh remastering, Vol 4’s ambitious arrangements and complex grooves have never sounded more inspired and menacing. Originally released in September 1972, the album marked two major changes for the members of Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. While their previous albums – Black Sabbath, Paranoid, and Master of Reality – were produced by Rodger Bain and recorded in England, they instead chose to produce Vol 4 themselves and record it at the Record Plant in Los Angeles.

The generous addition of bonus material on VOL 4: SUPER DELUXE EDITION begins with six previously unreleased studio outtakes from the original sessions for the album. Each one has been newly mixed by Steven Wilson using the analog multi-tracks. Highlights include outtakes for “Supernaut” and “Changes,” as well an instrumental version of “Under The Sun.”

The set also features 11 additional studio recordings (also newly mixed by Wilson from the analog multi-tracks) that spotlight alternative takes, false starts and snippets of studio dialogue. These tracks transport listeners into the studio with the band and offer some insight into the making of the album. Along with several alternative takes for “Wheels Of Confusion,” these recordings also include outtakes for “The Straightener” and “Snowblind.”

The collection concludes with a searing collection of live performances that re-create a typical setlist from Black Sabbath’s tour for Vol 4. Recorded in March 1973 at various stops along the band’s U.K. tour. The recordings were originally slated for a live album that was ultimately shelved. Although some of these performances have been previously available in various states, the release marks the first time that a full 1973 live Sabbath show has been recreated. The live audio has been newly mixed by Richard Digby Smith using the original 16-track analog tapes to achieve a level of fidelity not heard on any previous incarnations. Included here are thrilling live versions of Vol 4 tracks (“Tomorrow’s Dream” and “Cornucopia”) and fan favorites (“Paranoid” and “War Pigs.”)

LOS ANGELES – When Curtis Mayfield launched his solo career 50 years ago, America was at a new crossroads. The revolt of the 60s had laid the groundwork for both progress and protest in the 70s, which laid bare intense divisions in the country.  

 

The memories of that era in today’s political climate underlines the relevance of Curtis’ music, highlighted in the new collection PEOPLE NEVER GIVE UP, debuting today, October 30, 2020. The collection is available together for the first time on all the leading music streaming platforms. The official lyric video to "Power to the People" is available today, here.

 

Curated by the Mayfield family and Rhino, the collection, a classic song list of Curtis Mayfield’s Civil Rights-era songs, is a reminder that the “People Have The Power,” as the country heads into a contentious election in a watershed year. It’s a rich assemblage of culturally-important music that symbolizes an era of great social change in America that continues to this day.  

 

Referencing Curtis Mayfield’s role in the civil right movement, the late Congressman and civil rights pioneer, JOHN LEWIS, recalls a Curtis-rooted ritual that saw him through the early 1960s on the front lines of the movement: 

 

After being released from a small-town jail, he would head back to wherever he was staying—usually a local family’s house—take a long shower, put on jeans and a fresh shirt, find a little restaurant where he could order a burger and a cold soda and drop a quarter in the jukebox and play Curtis Mayfield or Aretha. He would sit down and, as he wrote in his memoir, “let that music wash over me, just wash right through me. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt anything so sweet. John Lewis (The Economist)                             

                                                      

When young Civil Rights activists boarded the “Freedom Rider” buses in the early 1960s to travel south to engage in protests and sit-ins, to fight for the right of Black people to eat a burger, use the public restroom or sit on a bus seat of their choice, they often had Curtis Mayfield on their minds. So too did the young black students as they marched, in the streets, outside the schools and universities, to the lunch counters… and on their way to jail. So too did the movers and shakers of the Civil Rights Movement, from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on down. 

 

The No. 1 sing-along on the Freedom Rides was “Keep on Pushing,” the Curtis Mayfield composition that inspired and fired up the Civil Rights campaign crowd. Dr. King often used Mayfield’s “People Get Ready,” with its all-inclusive lyrics, as the music to move his marchers and named it the Movement’s unofficial anthem. 

 

Mayfield wrote the song a year after the historic March on Washington that resulted in Dr. King’s monumental “I Have a Dream” oration but now it has come to symbolize that occasion, the hope, spirit and struggle. 

 

Music historians of the era will often concentrate on “We Shall Overcome” or “Blowin’ in the Wind” - but if it came to the Peoples’ Choice, especially if it was an African-American, it would be Curtis Mayfield.   

 

His was the music that aroused – and when necessary, quieted - the crowds. Mayfield songs, as rapper Chuck D. has noted, told the African-American communities “I got your back.”  

 

Andrew Jackson Young was one of the very first to suggest that Mayfield was more than just another musician hungry for a Top 40 hit, but was a political figure of sorts. And people pay attention to Andrew Young - the man is, after all, a former United Nations Ambassador, former Mayor of Atlanta, activist and pastor and supporter and close friend of Dr. King; Young noted “You have to think of Curtis Mayfield as a prophetic, visionary teacher of our people and of our time... who sang of the triumph and of the glory of us coming together as a people.” 

 

Mayfield (“I’m an entertainer”) would have none of it, but he has been compared by some to Dr. King for his impact on the Civil Rights Movement. He did accept that his music played its part, just as it would in the other great shifts in Black neighborhoods over the decade of the 1960s – Black Pride, but also the plague of poverty, drugs and violence in inner city life.  

 

“We’re A Winner” (1967), originally recorded by The Impressions, was another important landmark in Mayfield’s writing, a masterful popular recording dealing with the subject of Black Pride, announcing firmly that the time for self pity was over. “We’re A Winner” was a different kind of inspirational song from Mayfield to his African American base, encouraging reason over riot.  

  

Here Mayfield urges his audience to "Keep on pushin'/like your leaders tell you to" - Dr. King, Stokely Carmichael, etc. Mayfield’s previous compositions picked up by the Movement stemmed directly from his gospel roots and were more general in tone.  

  

“We’re A Winner” hit directly at racial politics in America and fueled a trend as similar follow up songs speaking to Black identity and the politics of race; music from soul artists such as James Brown and Sly Stone. Mayfield also used the phrase as the motto for his Chicago-based Curtom Records label.  

  

It is ironic that several radio stations in America, when rioting flared up in some cities, banned “We’re A Winner” because of the lyricism, apparently ignoring the message of reason they contain. “We were young and didn’t know these songs would have that effect,” Mayfield told the Chicago Tribune.  

  

“We just came back from Madrid one time, and we were seeing kids 17 and 18 singing our songs. I couldn’t believe that,” said Mayfield. “You realize that songs like ‘We’re a Winner’ and ‘Choice of Colors’ inspired people, even today. I was talking to Andy Young and he told me how they would sing ‘Amen’ and ‘Keep on Pushing’ during the freedom marches. It gave them inspiration to keep on doing what they were doing. It’s great to know we had a role in that.” The version of the song heard on this collection is originally from Curtis Live! 

  

Mayfield has been given an honored place in the music dialogue of the Civil Rights Movement, attained without veering from his other purpose, to make chart hits, with a great groove; to be an entertainer. That these gospel grooves held a message is a bonus for us all. Modestly, Curtis Mayfield would refuse the honorary title of The Preacher, he said: “I was capable of being able to say these things and yet not make a person feel as though they’re being preached at.” 

  

A few years ago, in tribute to his cultural significance as a songwriter and recording artist, Curtis’ “People Get Ready” was inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. 

  

Grammy Award winning Curtis Mayfield wrote and recorded a string of hits with The Impressions (Curtis & The Impressions were honored last December with an historical plaque in Chattanooga, where The Impressions were born, late last year) before leaving the influential soul-gospel group to embark upon a solo career that began in 1970 and produced some of his greatest work. 

  

Known as the “Gentle Genius,” Mayfield wrote and produced more than 1,700 songs in a short lifetime and was a key architect in creating the everlasting Chicago Soul sound. Still one of the most sampled artists in music, he’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice – first as a member of The Impressions and later as a solo artist. Before his death in 1999, Mayfield was presented the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by Bruce Springsteen. 

  

Regarding those recording his songs, the line forms on the left: Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Steppenwolf, the Staple Singers, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Lauryn Hill, Aretha Franklin, Herbie Hancock, Fishbone, Sinead O’Connor, UB40, The Jam – all have Mayfield material in their portfolios.

LOS ANGELES – Dead & Company jumpstarted the band’s “Fall Fun Run” mini tour last year in New York City with sold out shows at Madison Square Garden on Halloween and November 1. With the anniversaries for those shows quickly approaching, Dead & Company will release both concerts digitally on October 23. The group’s cover of Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves Of London” – the encore Halloween night – is available today on digital download and streaming services. Click here to listen now.

Like the other shows in Dead & Company’s ongoing digital concert series, both live performances will be available through all digital download and streaming services. In addition, the concerts will be offered in Apple Lossless and FLAC formats from Dead.net. Live audio for these recordings was mixed and remastered by Dead & Company’s Front of House Engineer, Derek Featherstone, and the band’s Recording Engineer, Ross Harris.

Halloween is one of the most eagerly anticipated dates on the Dead Head calendar and last year’s show was no exception. Despite the festive mood, however, there was a solemn undercurrent to the occasion as the band performed for the first time since the passing of longtime Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. 

In a deeply moving opening to the show, Grateful Dead band members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, and Bob Weir took to the stage by themselves while their newer bandmates John Mayer, Jeff Chimenti and Oteil Burbridge waited in the wings. The trio launched into “Ripple,” one of the most beloved songs Hunter wrote with Jerry Garcia, before the rest of the band joined them mid-song. That night, every song the band played – with the exception of the “Werewolves Of London” encore – was co-written by Hunter, a fitting and inspired tribute to the Grateful Dead’s beloved bard.

The following night, the power of Grateful Dead music to transcend generational boundaries was not only evident by the range of ages in the audience, but also on stage, where the band welcomed a surprise guest to the stage, Grammy® nominated, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers. She immediately showed why she’s one of the most acclaimed new artists to have emerged in recent years with her beautiful harmony vocals (and one verse on lead) on another Garcia-Hunter immortal “Friend Of The Devil.” Later, she made a return appearance for the encore to help sing a cover of The Band’s classic “The Weight.”

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. Since its formation, the band has completed seven tours, playing to 2.8 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Having toured consistently since its 2015 debut, the band has grossed $307 million across 152 shows.

Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record.
