buy it here! 

 

Best known as one half of The Wood Brothers, Oliver is stepping out with a solo record that is rootsy, bluesy and catchy.

Guests include Chris Long (who performed alongside Oliver in King Johnson), percussionist Jano Rix (the Wood Brothers), Susan Tedeschi & Tyler Greenwell (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Phil Cook (Hiss Golden Messenger), keyboardist John Medeski (Medeski Martin & Wood), Phil Madeira, and singer/songwriter Carsie Blanton.

LINK WRAY
Link Wray
red orange green vinyl LP
buy it here! 

Recorded in a shaky makeshift chicken shack in rural Maryland, Link Wray's eponymous 1971 solo album is a compelling and forward-looking piece of honest, handmade Americana. This album is vastly different from his previous work, foregoing instrumentals entirely. Instead, Wray, left with only one lung following a bout with tuberculosis in 1956, gives us his raw voice, full of spit and vinegar, as he blends elements of country, rock 'n' roll, roots, folk and gospel marked with fuzzy guitar and booming percussion.

ltd 180g vinyl LP

In 1967, pianist McCoy Tyner was ready for a new start, leaving seminal John Coltrane Quartet and Impulse! Records two years prior. His Blue Note debut, The Real McCoy, firmly established him as a creative force.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered from the original tapes.

The first of Sonny's albums for Impulse!, this 1965 collection caught Rollins at the peak of his creative powers, and is arguably the tenor hero's best for the label-an intense, freewheeling set, featuring classic takes on "On Green Dolphin Street" and "Three Little Words" in the company of Ray Bryant (piano), Walter Booker (bass) and Mickey Roker (drums). Mastered from the original analog tapes.

ROSE CITY BAND
Earth Trip
vinyl LP & CD
buy it here! 

Ripley Johnson started Rose City Band as an outlet to explore songwriting styles apart from Wooden Shjips and Moon Duo. Earth Trip was written during the period of sudden shocks and drastic lifestyle changes of 2020 and make deft use of space through lean arrangements, guest Barry Walker's shimmering pedal steel, open and elongated guitar melodies, and upfront and intimate vocals. Johnson's lithe guitar playing treads an equally fine line between country and cosmic, melodies blooming into long reverb trails and solos evocative of radiant summer warmth.

T. HARDY MORRIS
The Digital Age of Rome
ltd coke bottle vinyl LP & CD
buy it here! 

Heading into the spring of 2020, T. Hardy Morris had 12 demos that he thought would make-up his next album, then, everything changed. He scrapped the demos and began a collection of songs in quarantine where the unprecedented times and topics were unavoidable. He wanted to document the era sonically and lyrically in some way.
“I wanted it to sound like how the world felt to me in the second half of 2020. Uncomfortable and chaotic, dystopian but still beautiful.”

KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZZARD
Teenage Gizzard
vinyl LP
buy it here! 

King Gizzard are disrupters; in music business as well as the music they make. This collection of songs recorded between 2010 and 2011 are Gizzard's take on surf rock and you will not find it on Spotify or Apple Music. However if you wanted to press up some copies and sell them yourself, they give you their blessing. This week we will have two, maybe three different pressings of Teenage Gizzard to choose from and none of the proceeds goes to the artist... It's a bizarre model and we've never seen anything quite like this, but these guys are progressive, prolific and savvy.

MOTORHEAD
No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith
40th aniv 3LP deluxe vinyl & 2CD set
buy it here! 

Motörhead in 1981 was a band of extremes; a flammable mix of non-stop celebration over their rising success and punishing graft, underscored by an inter-band powder-keg dynamic. After recording Ace Of Spades, that energy spilled into the recording of No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith. Originally released on 27th June 1981, Lemmy is quoted as saying of it “I knew it’d be the live one that went best, because we’re really a live band."
