Encore Records

Mogwai

Special Moves

An eleven track live record (the band’s first official!) and “Burning” a DVD of the same performance(with many twists and a slightly different tracklist).

JJ Grey & Mofro

Georgia Warhorse

Maybe number five is the charm?

Not that JJ Grey and his ever evolving backing band Mofro care.

But it’s possible that Georgia Warhorse may be the record that pulls them from the glorified cult status they’ve enjoyed for a decade into the lights on the mainstream’s fringes—but don’t count on it.

Grey’s music is far too real; too poetically, sonically, and atmospherically rooted in vintage Southern soul, rock and blues traditions to translate readily into radio fodder.

The music is steeped in funky, greasy, slippery Southern R&B, blues and rock.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Damn the Torpedoes - Classic Albums

The latest addition to Eagle’s critically acclaimed and highly successful Classic Albums series is Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ 1979 breakthrough album Damn The Torpedoes.

The band’s third album defined their musical style and took them into the mainstream hitting #2 on the U.S. charts and spawning the Top 10 single ‘Don’t Do Me Like That’.

The disc features newly filmed contributions from the band members Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair and Stan Lynch along with co-producer Jimmy Iovine and engineer Shelly Yakus as they analyze the tracks from the original multi-track tapes and through new and archive performances.

James Blackshaw

All Is Falling

All Is Falling was the first of James Blackshaw’s albums on which he played electric 12-string guitar.

But while earlier efforts of his drew comparisons to vintage folk guitarists, this is far from folk-rock, and indeed so far from folk or rock that it might not be appropriate to even categorize it as popular music. Blackshaw also plays piano, glockenspiel, and percussion on the record, though when he does use 12-string electric guitar, it’s not heavily amplified.

The eight largely instrumental pieces (voices are heard counting at one point) on the 45-minute CD—divided into tracks plainly titled “Part 1,” “Part 2,” and so on up to “Part 8”—are much more like a classical work than a folk one, performed with considerable assistance from other musicians on violin, cello, flute, alto saxophone, and glockenspiel.

A Complete Introduction to Progressive Rock

Wondrous Stories

4 CD UK release that traces the history of prog from the late 1960’s to the present day.

John Mayall

So Many Roads: An Anthology 1964-1975

2010 four CD anthology from the British Blues legend. John Mayall’s band, The Bluesbreakers ,were undoubtedly a hot-house for the British Blues scene in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s and it’s quite staggering when you examine the roll call of floating members who served their apprenticeship with John Mayall including Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Keef Hartley, John McVie, Mick Taylor and Steve Winwood.

This lavish box set contains 74 tracks, all newly remastered from the original master tapes, including five tracks released in Europe on CD for the first time. The 40-page booklet features sleevenotes by Mark Powell with rare and previously unseen photographs.

Robert Cray

Cookin’ In Mobile

CD & DVD

This is soul-bluesman Cray’s third live release in four years ( but the only one that includes a full concert DVD—adding two more cuts, “Phone Booth” and “Twenty”—along with the audio.

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan

Hawk

The third full length collaboration between the former Screaming Trees vocalist (Lanegan) and ex-Belle & Sebastian member (Campbell).

The husky growl of Mark Lanegan and the soft, gentle beauty of Isobel Campbell proved to be the perfect match on 2006’s Ballad Of The Broken Seas and again on 2008’s Sunday At Devil Dirt.

Utilizing glistening guitars and sumptuous piano lines, the pair reunite for Hawk, an album produced by Campbell. Also featuring Willy Mason on two tracks, Hawk once again displays the emotive and powerful talents of two singers from opposite ends of the vocal spectrum.
