Ms Berryhill emerged on the music scene in the late 1980s with Who’s Gonna Save The World,
followed by the Lenny Kaye produced Naked Movie Star. 1994’s Garage Orchestra continued the trend, receiving four stars from Rolling Stone. Sadly, her husband, Crawdaddy magazine founder Paul Williams sustained a traumatic brain injury in 1995, and while she continued to write and perform, she focused on caring for him until his passing in 2013.
Determined to retain and honor the beauty and joy of the relationship they shared, Berryhill set out to write and record an album full of visionary songs. With the help of her musical friends including DJ Bonebrake (X, The Knitters), Probyn Gregory and Nelson Bragg (Brian Wilson), Syd Straw, Michael Jerome Moore (The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Richard Thompson, John Cale) and more, they all understood that a grand musical adventure was in store. The result? The Adventurist, outMarch 10, 2017 via Omnivore recordings.
Conor Oberst has announced his new album, Salutations, for March 17 release on Nonesuch Records. The album includes full band recordings with The Felice Brothers and drummer Jim Keltner; guests include Jim James, Gillian Welch, Blake Mills, Jonathan Wilson and more.
The album is a companion piece to his 2016 lauded Ruminations. When Oberst wrote and recorded the songs on Ruminations, entirely solo - with just voice, piano, guitar and harmonica - he intended to ultimately record them with a full band. In the midst of putting together that band - upstate New York's The Felice Brothers plus the legendary drummer Jim Keltner (Neil Young, Jackson Browne, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and many more) - the passionate responses Oberst was getting to those first solo recordings, from friends and colleagues, encouraged him to release the songs as-is, in their original sparse form, as his seventh solo album: Ruminations, which was released in October 2016. Pitchfork called it "a record like none other in Oberst's catalog, stunning for how utterly alone he sounds," and the UK's Sunday Times called it, "The rawest album yet from the forever troubled one-time voice of a generation. Political and very, very personal," saying Oberst is "one of the best songwriters around."
Meanwhile, Oberst simultaneously moved ahead with his plans to record with the band, heading to the famed Shangri-la Studios in Malibu to record Salutations - co-produced with Keltner and engineered by long-time musical compadre Andy LeMaster. Guest contributions come courtesy of Jim James, Blake Mills, Maria Taylor, M Ward, Gillian Welch, Gus Seyffert, Pearl Charles, Nathaniel Walcott, and Jonathan Wilson.
Laura Marling has unveiled "Wild Fire," the second track to be lifted from her forthcoming
sixth studio album, Semper Femina. Semper Femina is releasing on March 10 via More Alarming Records/Kobalt Music Recordings.Listen to "Wild Fire", below.
And, Laura is a musical guest on esteemed traveling radio show A Prairie Home Companion
on Saturday January 14th - broadcast live on NPR affiliates from 5pm-7pm Central
Time. The show - hosted by Chris Thile - will be broadcast from The Symphony Theater in Chicago. Laura joins Chris, Andrew Bird and Beth Stelling on the bill.
The 26 year old English singer-songwriter Laura Marling's latest track is "Wild Fire."
Taken from her forthcoming album Semper Femina, it follows a loose, lyrical thread
of feminine exploration. It drops a light on an unspecified 'muse' of Laura's, and
sweeps in and out of focus on how the acclaimed musician views femininity as the
years pass. It's not a concept record per se, but that aforementioned thread unravels
and reaffirms throughout the record's duration.
"Wild Fire" follows the first single "Soothing" whose intimate video introduced Laura behind the camera lens in her directorial debut, and sequels to the video will follow throughout the album's unveiling.
Laura was only 20 years old when, in 2011, she was awarded the UK's Grammy equivalent
BRIT Award for Best British Solo Female Artist. Recording since the age of 16, Semper
Femina is her sixth album. A rich and enriching listen, Semper Femina is a typically
mature and raw listen by one of our most talented and prolific young musicians of
a generation. Following the release of Semper Femina, Laura hits the road to support
the release.
Global music superstar ED SHEERAN has unveiled details for his highly anticipated new album named “÷” (pronounced divide), the multi-GRAMMY award winning singer-songwriter’s third studio album arrives on March 3 via Atlantic Records.
Sheeran commented – “First off, what a week! The reaction to my new singles has been absolutely mind-blowing and I can’t thank you enough. My new album ÷ holds a very special place in my heart and I really believe this is my best work to date. I’ve been eager to get back and I couldn’t be more excited for March 3rd.”
One of the most anticipated global releases of 2017, “÷” sees the 25-year-old in his finest form yet. Drawing inspiration from a wide array of experiences and subjects, Sheeran takes you through a hugely personal journey; be that reflecting on past relationships, family memories, his musical career or his time off travelling the world in 2016. Musically, ÷ is a varied collection of beautifully orchestrated and emotive ballads, impassioned raps laid over hip hop beats, timeless acoustic guitar masterpieces, and innovative, idiosyncratic pop music. Constantly on the move, the album was recorded between LA, London, Suffolk and while crossing the Atlantic aboard the RMS Queen Mary 2. Executive produced by multi-GRAMMY winner Benny Blanco and Sheeran himself with additional production coming from frequent collaborator Johnny McDaid, GRAMMY winner Mike Elizondo, and BRIT-award winner Steve Mac.

Celebrated, Grammy Award-winning band The Mavericks, have announced a March 31 release for their new album, Brand New Day, their first independent studio album on their own label Mono Mundo Recordings/Thirty Tigers. After years on major labels, The Mavericks chose to set a new course with the founding of Mono Mundo and the release of their first live album, 2016’s captivating All Night Live, Volume 1. On the spectacular Brand New Day, the beloved band convincingly proves that they may have not even reached their apex yet.
The 10 songs that make up Brand New Day feature The Mavericks genre-defying style. For example, the album opens with the tejano/bluegrass-inspired “Rolling Along”, which sets a tone before the wall-of-sound power of the title track thrusts the listener deep into the musical journey. From the ‘60’s flavored “Easy As It Seems” to the accordion-fueled shuffle of “I Will Be Yours” to the heart-melting beauty of “Goodnight Waltz”, Brand New Day finds the eclectic unit as inspired, passionate and commanding as ever.
