Tesla is a notorious band for one thing; being a high energy, 100% live, kick ass rock and roll band in concert! FULL THROTTLE LIVE captures this essence from a stop at the Sturgis Bike rally in the year 2022 at the infamous saloon that host many motorcycle rock and roll parties, and this inspired the band to put on even more of a heavy show. Independently recorded, mixed and produced by guitarist Frank Hannon and bassist Brian Wheat, this new live album truly captures Tesla in pure honest form, and even dives deeper into their roots by recording a live version of the 1974 Aerosmith classic “SOS Too Bad” as a bonus track. The heavier song choices range from “Miles Away!” to more recent hard releases like “Time to Rock!” and “Cold Blue Steel”. But don’t worry there are old Tesla classics captured too like “Changes” and “Lazy Days, Crazy Nights” all recorded as Tesla is best.100% FULL THROTTLE LIVE!

Sweet Western Sound is Tanya Tucker’s first album of new music since 2019’s 2x Grammy Award-winning, While I’m Livin’, the re-introduction that revitalized her career and brought her music to a new generation of fans. While that album’s stripped-down, singer-songwriter approach leaned toward the acoustic side, Sweet Western Sound’s framework is more muscular, evoking, at times, the vintage West Coast country-rock productions of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings.

Tamás Zétényi – Kodály & Ligeti: Sonatas for Solo Cello, Ligeti: Sonata for Viola Solo (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz]

An intense and highly sought-after cellist on the Hungarian classical, contemporary, and improvisation scenes, for his first solo disc Tamás Zétényi has selected some of the most important solo string instrument pieces of the twentieth century: this album features solo sonatas by Kodály and Ligeti. In three works by two Hungarian composers, we can trace how the solo string genre, founded by Bach, was suddenly revived in the twentieth century. Kodály’s grandiose cello sonata intones with the intimacy of a soliloquy, deploying folk-music inspiration and the new harmonic world of Impressionism alongside the Bachian prototypes.

Kodály was undoubtedly an influence on Ligeti, who however in his own cello sonata followed leaner structural principles and Bartókian models. Ligeti’s late work, the viola sonata, which summarizes his oeuvre and forges an alloy of new tonality and folk melodies of the Carpathian Basin, is here heard in Tamás Zétényi’s own transcription, released here with the consent and approval of Vera Ligeti, the composer’s widow and heir.

Released in 1966, Drums Unlimited remains a unique listening experience even now, but it’s a tremendous opportunity to hear just how amazing Roach could be when he was sitting behind his kit. The six-track album alternates between a trio of solo performances by Roach – “The Drum Also Waltzes,” the title track, and “For Big Sid” – and a trio of songs which find him playing alongside trumpeter Freddie Bubbard, alto saxophonist Roland Alexander, pianist Ronnie Matthews, and bassist Jymie Merritt. The tracks in the latter category, by the way, are “Nommo,” “St. Louis Blues,” and “In the Red (A Christmas Carol),” and it should also be noted that “St. Louis Blues” also features some sweet soprano sax from Roland Alexander.

Beauty blooms in adversity. It’s one of the undying clichés of art. Sometimes, it’s a damaging one. It can lead unsuspecting audiences to believe that performers and the emotions they embody are one and the same, and that torment is a necessity for creation; it can lead performers to disregard their own health, believing that their discomfort supposedly serves and ennobles their art; and it glosses over the fact that creativity emerging out of adversity or hardship is generally the exception rather than the rule.

Composers: Leoš Janáček; Jean Sibelius; Claude Debussy; Sergei Prokofiev.

Who is to say every artist must evolve and experiment and get outside their proven comfort zone to make consequential art? There’s still something to be said for artists who find their groove early and then stick with what they know. Enter Matthew Sweet, now in his mid-50s, who has been mining a seemingly endless seam of power pop—sunnier at some moments than others—since his 1991 breakthrough, Girlfriend.
