Daddy - Let Me Get What I Want - VINYL LP

Lowdown Ways marks a quantum creative leap for Daddy Long Legs, the scrappy New York trio known for their stripped-down roots sound and in-your- face intensity that's garnered them fans in their hometown and overseas, where they've toured with such kindred spirits as The Damned, The Sonics, Hurray for the Riff Raff and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They've been recognized by Rolling Stone, who aptly compared them to InchChicago blues fired at the moon, played by the demented children of the Pretty Things.Inch This expansive, new territory that the band covers on Lowdown Ways is thanks to producer (and JD McPherson bassist) Jimmy Sutton, with whom the band recorded the album at Chicago's Hi-Style Studios, applies his technical know-how to broaden the sound of such instantly memorable tunes as InchPink LemonadeInch (co-written by McPherson), InchDing Dong DangInch and InchBad Neighborhood,Inch which resonate with the down-and-dirty roots that have always been Daddy Long Legs' inspiration. Meanwhile, the band ventures successfully into unfamiliar territory with the pub-rock-style InchWinners Circle,Inch the bittersweet acoustic ballad InchBack Door FoolInch and the dramatic album-closer InchWrong Side of the River.Inch 1.

Internationally acclaimed early music ensemble, eX, presents POSSESSED, a musical journey through the mysterious world of possession. Featuring medieval, renaissance, baroque and traditional music, POSSESSED explores Christian ecstatic trance as experienced by Hildegard von Bingen, Teresa of Avila and Joan of Arc, demonic possession of the Salem witches, initiation rites of the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé and a musical exorcism performed to the wild rhythms of the Tarantella.

In July-August 1987, after 100 shows around the world on the Bridge Tour, Billy Joel accepted the Kremlin's invitation to the U.S.S.R. for six fully-staged rock shows in Moscow and Leningrad, fulfilling a long-time desire to perform in Russia. For the first time, a MATTER OF TRUST THE BRIDGE TO RUSSIA, presents an expanded version of what fans saw and heard over a quarter-century ago. The newly remastered 2 CD set adds 11 previously unreleased songs to the original 16-song CD from 1987, which closely recreates Billy's full concert sequence. The extra material includes concert rehearsal takes and TV performances. The DVD features an expanded version of the original 1987 concert LIVE FROM LENINGRAD, newly remastered with seven previously unreleased songs. It also includes a brand-new 90-minute documentary that takes a fresh look at the groundbreaking trip. This new film connects documentary material from 1987 with new interviews of nearly 20 U.S. and Russian participants, including Billy, Christie Brinkley, band musicians, crew, and many others. There is a passion and intimacy to their interviews that underscores the historical significance of what these fellow travelers all witnessed, and the warmth that the Russian people showered on them. Billy has always considered that going to Russia was the most important thing he'd ever done. The freedom and excitement of his presence permanently affected the country and played no small role in the ultimate dissolution of the U.S.S.R. in 1991.
