What you have with Rosary of Tears is Joe Camilleri’s salute to the music that had a profound effect on him as a young musician. Listening to the album you might think that he had been born somewhere in the Mississippi Delta or the Louisiana bayous rather than an island in the Mediterranean. He doesn’t just interpret the songs, he inhabits them as if they were written just for him – or even by him.

Don’t be fooled by the harmonica. Bad Luck Friday is not your typical blues rock band. Will Wilde has a reputation in the blues world as a pioneer of the rock harp, but with Bad Luck Friday, he’s taken the music well beyond its traditional blues roots.

In the lush tobacco fields of North Carolina where BJ Barham was raised, people work hard. Families stay nearby, toiling and growing together. BJ loves those farms and his tiny Reidsville hometown, but he had to run off and start American Aquarium, a band now beloved by thousands. BJ couldn’t stay. But he couldn’t really leave, either: he’s still singing about the lessons, stories, and lives that define rural America-and him. Recorded at 3CG Records in Tulsa, Oklahoma, American Aquarium’s seventh studio album, Things Change was produced by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter John Fulbright and features cameos from Americana standouts including John Moreland and Jamie Lin Wilson. Stacked with BJ’s signature storytelling-always deeply personal but also instantly relatable-Things Change questions and curses current events, shares one man’s intimate evolution, and leaves listeners with a priceless gift: hope. BJ’s candor has fueled American Aquarium’s runaway appeal, visible most clearly in consistently sold-out shows across the country and throughout Europe – between 200 and 250 dates a year. Much has changed for the band and BJ since their acclaimed last effort, Wolves. In 2017, every American Aquarium member save BJ quit the group. American Aquarium has featured about 30 players since BJ founded the outfit in 2006, and while each member has left indelible marks, the band has always been anchored by the literary songs and sometimes roaring, sometimes whispering, drawl of BJ Barham. Featuring a new band lineup that includes Shane Boeker on lead guitar, drummer Joey Bybee, bassist Ben Hussey, and Adam Kurtz on pedal steel and electric guitar, as well as a reinvigorated frontman in BJ, Things Change is American Aquarium’s first release on a label after selling thousands of records on their own.

My new album ‘The Generator of All Infinity’ is an instrumental concept album of sorts; fusing ambient space rock with 1970s UFO cult aesthetics.The album brings to a close a trilogy that began in 2017 with my album ‘Space’ followed by ‘Eternal’ in 2019. ‘The Generator of All Infinity’ returns to me to the moment in 1997 when I quit my indie rock band and started All India Radio, leaving distorted guitars behind. For better or worse I’ve now come full circle and re-embraced the sound I’d fallen out of love with.The cover art by Jesse Jacobi aka Pit of Bones masterfully channels a Hawkwind meets doom metal vibe which suits the music just fine.The album also marks the first time I’ve used an outside producer 17 years. Handing over your baby is a scary prospect but Joe Haley nailed it!

“One of the rockingest movies ever…the music here is dark, dirty and seedy.”

The controversial 1980 film “Cruising” has become an underground cult classic. One of the best parts of the film is the amazingly gritty soundtrack. The music was scored and compiled by Academy Award winner Jack Nitzsche also known as the “Wall of Sound” arranger on Phil Spector’s hits.

Most of the songs on the Cruising soundtrack are a mix of rock, glam and disco music and full of an anxious energy. They complement the movie action and the S&M bar setting extremely well and offer a glimpse of an un-idealized 70’s gay scene. The tracks are performed by various punk, P.Funk, rock, pop and soul artists including Willy DeVille, John Hiatt, Rough Trade, The Cripples and several raw and dirty cuts by proto punks The Germs.
