Billy Burnette - Billy Burnette - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

First time on CD worldwide. For his 1981 Columbia encore album 'Gimme You,' Billy Burnette stepped away from the stripped-down attack of it's eponymous predecessor to incorporate a fuller sound, spiced by occasional horns and backing vocalists. He recorded the album in Alabama with the vaunted Muscle Shoals studio band that played on countless soul and pop smashes during it's long residency guitarist Jimmy Johnson, bassist David Hood, drummer Roger Hawkins, and keyboardist Barry Beckett. In addition to recording both rock and country music as a solo artist, Billy Burnette wrote for such hit makers as Rod Stewart, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Cher, Faith Hill, Gregg Allman, Tammy Wynette, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Charley Pride, Tanya Tucker, Ringo Starr, Glen Campbell, Eddy Raven, and many more. Burnette became close friends with Mick Fleetwood in the early '80s, leading to an invitation to join Fleetwood Mac from 1987-1995.

Recorded live in Italy in 1994 this album reveals a powerful young Munyon delivering poignantversions of six songs from his debut album Code Name Jumper, one of the best debuts everreleased. So what you've got here is a piece of history, naked and live versions of songs that deliverthe magic!

The way you're saying it, InchprolificInch isn't the right word for The Bug Club. You've got to say it with the trademark Welsh lilt and pay due homage to this inimitable band's origins in the renowned hit factory of Caldicot, South Wales. Do that, and you're about right with how to summarize a group who've released ten singles, two albums, two EPs, three things nobody knew how to describe, and an album under a different band's name, all since 2021, and while playing 200+ gigs a year.Initially comprising the songwriting core of Sam Willmett (vocals/guitar) and Tilly Harris (vocals/bass) with Dan Matthew (drums), The Bug Club started plying their trade in 2016. They were signed by UK tag Bingo Records in Autumn of 2020. BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley was an early champion, hammering the single, booking the band in for a session as soon as it was allowed, and rightfully praising songwriters capable of singing the whole alphabet in a two-minute song and making it work. Third LP On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System - their first for Sub Pop - sees the band serve up a beefy slab of their speciality Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets garage rock. There's B-52's call-and-response fun mixed with AC/DC power chord grunt. Leaning towards fast-paced punk, opening double salvo InchWar MoviesInch and InchQuality PintsInch sets out the stall duel vocal piss-taking, surreal takes on everyday topics that go full circle and become profound, riffs all day long and then all the next day too. InchQuality PintsInch deals with the pressing concerns of any conscientious touring outfit, taking to heart the rule of the three R's as penned by renowned fellow pints fan Mark E. Smith of The Fall. Repetition, repetition, repetition. If it's that important, which it is, it's worth saying again. InchWar MoviesInch dresses distorted chugging with a comprehensive 'best of' list for the genre, with Sam W
