Todd Rundgren

For Lack Of Honest Work

For Lack Of Honest Work is just the beginning of what is to be the new Todd Rundgren officially sanctioned bootleg releases.

Featuring performances throughout the United States, Europe and Asia and spanning 4 decades over 3 discs (3 volumes) For Lack Of Honest Work is the ultimate live bootleg experience and the 1st authorized Todd Rundgren bootleg compilation.

Volume 1 from the opening It Wouldnt Make and Difference to the closing Hello Its Me, is a collection of songs guaranteed to make you get over heartbreak.

Volume 2 is an amalgam of synthesized soul Born To Synthesize, progressive Mr Triscuits, glam rock The Seven Rays and pop rock I Saw The Light, showcasing his lyrical genius and residual elements of smokey, gut-wrenching, love me or leave me soul.

Volume 3 illustrates Rundgrens musicial mastery and offers raw insight into his talent and state of being through the third and fourth decades of his career with favorites such as Bang On The Drum, Lysistrata and One World.

All the tracks have been newly re-mastered.

In and industry where careers can be shorter than the duration of a song, the BoDeans have proven their longevity with Mr. Sad Clown.

Nearly three decades ago, Neumann and Llanas formed the BoDeans in Wisconsin, combining passionate guitar riffs, intricate vocal harmonies and heartfelt lyrics that forged their signature sound.

Tom Jones

Praise & Blame

Jones has collaborated with producer Ethan Johns to release a captivating collection of songs drawn from the American spiritual, blues and contemporary repertoire. Praise & Blame is a stripped-down, gritty, soul-bearing album from an artist with a successful, multi-genre recording career that spans five decades.

Jones celebrated his 70th birthday on June 7 this year.

One would never guess that he has reached such a milestone when hearing the power, restraint and clarity he presents in his renditions of songs by Susan Werner, Bob Dylan and John Lee Hooker. 

Traditional repertoire from the works of The Staple Singers, Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe are also given unique, fervent interpretations by a world-renowned voice that is at the top of its game. This is Tom Jones as you’ve never heard him before.
