Get Rhythm - James Hand

"One Night of the Week" and "Feels So Good" are the latest singles from Bobby Harden & The Soulful Saints' forthcoming studio album "Bridge of Love," out May 12, 2023 via Data Records/BQE Records.

Bridge of Love

One Night of the Week

This is James Williamson's third and last single of the year. This time the guitar legend has teamed up with a talented 19 year-old singer/songwriter named Maia, who is currently attending Berklee College of Music in Boston for vocal music and composition.
 
Williamson's previous efforts this year included a collaboration with Petra Haden on "Blues Jumped The Rabbit" and "Last Kind Words" to benefit the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund and a collaboration with Lisa Kekaula on "I Love My Tutu" and "Never Far From Where The Wild Things Are" to benefit Project Hawai'i which helps homeless children in Hawaii.
 
This third single will be the last record on which Williamson's iconic "Leopard Lady" guitar will be played. This guitar has been used on every record Williamson has made - from his first album with The Stooges, Raw Power, to the present.  He is donating both the Leopard Lady Les Paul Custom, as well as his Gibson B25N acoustic guitar to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Museum for posterity. The latter acoustic is the guitar James wrote most of the music to Raw Power on and wrote and played on Kill City, which he recorded with Iggy Pop back in 1975. 
 
Williamson says of his young collaborator, "I first came into contact with Maia through my engineer in Berkeley, Jason Carmer. He played me something she had written and sang and I was instantly intrigued. I had him ask her to come down to the studio the next day (Maia is from San Francisco) and I was blown away by her enthusiasm, talent and the nuance of her vocals. We decided that day to write and record these songs together and this is the result of that effort.  We hope you like them as much as we do."
 
James Williamson and Maia’s “Sickkk” / “I Made A Mistake” single is out November 11th on 7-inch vinyl and digital formats. The donation of Williamson's historical guitars will benefit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum.

James Williamson with Maia - Sickkk

Following the release of their first two acclaimed albums, Please Make Welcome (2011) and Holly Grove (2013), the Atlanta-based band The Whiskey Gentry are set to release their third full-length studio album entitled Dead Ringer this spring. On it, the husband and wife duo of Lauren Staley & Jason Morrow and bandmates have created an effort that builds on many of the sounds of their previous albums - incorporating deep country, Americana, honky-tonk, bluegrass and a stiff shot of gritty rock ’n’ roll, yet it also finds the band testing themselves and pushing beyond their own boundaries.

Dead Ringer deals with growing up, and how that’s affected the band’s relationships, and the places they’ve gone and people they’ve met in the process. As singer/songwriter Lauren Staley puts it, “There's also a lot of questioning where you are in your life: are you going to follow your dream, or are you going to do what society thinks you should do?”

Paul Collins' (from The Nerves, The Breakaways) two long lost EPs with his band The Beat from the early '80s make it to Lolipop Records as the first re-issue on all formats in over 30 years, from the "king of power pop" himself. "To Beat Or Not To Beat" was recorded in New York in 1983 at The Ranch with John Mathias (The Romantics) and Paul Collins/Steven Huff producing. It was released in the U.S. by Jem/Passport Records and then it was later released in Europe on Closer Records France and Dro Records Spain. The single "All Over The World" was featured regularly on KROQ in Los Angeles and got a lot of airplay in France and in Spain. Steve and Paul toured in Europe off that record for several years until they wound up in London where they recorded their follow-up EP "Long Time Gone," just before returning to the States. "Long Time Gone" was released in 1985 on Closer France and Dro Spain, and both records were released as a two-fer on Wounded Bird Records in 2004. 

Paul Collins Beat's "Long Time Gone / To Beat Or Not To Beat" will be released on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats April 28th via Lolipop Records.
