Caleb Landry Jones - Gadzooks Vol. 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Caleb Landry Jones is a continual creator. The Texan born star found fame as an actor - you'll recognise him from key roles in X-Men First Class, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, amongst others - but music is perhaps his first love, and his source of greatest comfort. A chance encounter with famed auteur Jim Jarmusch brought him into the orbit of Sacred Bones, and the stalwart independent released Caleb's 2020 debut album 'The Mother Stone'. Psychedelic in a defiantly non-retro way, this indulgent, freewheeling trip won critical acclaim, but masked a secret - he'd already finished another album. Filming alongside Tom Hanks in dystopian themed Finch, Caleb found himself writing during those long evenings after the shoot in locations across New Mexico, idling away his hours by focussing on creativity. InchI need it,Inch he says. InchI've tried working without it. On one acting job, I intentionally didn't bring a guitar to try and do it without music... but that didn't last long. I need to create something - it could be a drawing, it could be a song - because otherwise I feel like I'm wasting time. Which is something I do plenty of on my own!Inch With his creative faculties burning, Caleb knew he had to get straight back into the studio when filming stopped. Linking with the same cast who formed 'The Mother Stone', he resumed his partnership with producer Nic Jodoin, based out of the elegant Valentine Recording Studio in Los Angeles. A studio steeped in history - everyone from Bing Crosby to Frank Zappa worked there - he interrupted mixing sessions for his own debut album in order to focus on something different. InchI knew I could make something a little more focussed, and less difficult. And this became an experiment,Inch he explains. InchWe wanted to do something we hadn't done on the last one and also get a slightly different sound.Inch Producer Nic Jodoin

Harmonizing folk duo The Brother Brothers are used to hearing Everly Brothers comparisons, but even Phil and Don couldn't beat the sound of siblings Adam and David Moss, who share identical DNA. The twins started weaving their voices together before they hit first grade, learning by singing along to the Everlys, the Beatles and other artists they found in their dad's record collection. On their new album, Cover to Cover, The Brother Brothers pay homage to those early influences and other favorite songwriters with unique arrangements of both beloved classics and songs they want more people to hear. Among their eclectic picks Tom T. Hall's InchThat's How I Got to Memphis,Inch Jackson Browne's InchThese Days,Inch James Taylor's InchYou Can Close Your Eyes,Inch Hoagy Carmichael's InchI Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes),Inch Robert Earl Keen's InchFeelin' Good Again,Inch Richard Thompson's InchWaltzing's for Dreamers,Inch Judee Sill's InchRugged RoadInch and Tom Waits' InchFlowers Grave.Inch Their exquisite version of Lennon and McCartney's InchI WillInch holds special significance, because they created their own harmonies over the solo-vocal original when they were 6. Fiddler/violinist Adam and cello player/guitarist David also called on special friends, from singer/mandolinist Sarah Jarosz to Lake Street Dive vocalist Rachael Price - who sings with her sister, Emily, making this effort even more of a family affair.

Kabalevsky's most lasting achievement was in the field of music education, notably his development in later years of a programme for music in schools. His Third Piano Concerto, 'Dedicated to Soviet Youth', completes the trilogy of instrumental concertos.
