George Hamilton IV - Abilene - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Endless Arcade follows Teenage Fanclub's 2016 album Here, a record that garnered universal acclaim, a mark of how much the group is treasured. The new album is quintessential TFC melodies are equal parts heartwarming and heartaching, guitars chime and distort, keyboard lines mesh and spiral, harmony-coated choruses burst out like sun on a stormy day. In the 1990s, the band crafted a magnetically heavy yet harmony-rich sound on classic albums such as Bandwagonesque and Grand Prix. This century, albums such as Shadows and Here have documented a more relaxed, less InchteenageInch Fanclub, reflecting the band's stage in life and state of mind, alongside which Endless Arcade slots perfectly. The album walks a beautifully poised line between melancholic and uplifting, infused with simple truths. The importance of home, community and hope is entwined with more bittersweet, sometimes darker thoughts of insecurity, anxiety, and loss.

Digitally remastered from the country music legend containing his two most popular and best-selling albums. Canadian Pacific appears for the first time on CD. George's success was internationally widespread, with Canada, Europe and the British Isles all becoming regular stomping grounds - with the last, well and truly a second home. It was such activities that earned him the title International Ambassador of Country Music. The Abilene album was released in 1963. The title track reached #1 on the Billboard Country Singles charts remaining there for four weeks and staying on the charts for a total of 24 weeks. Canadian Pacific was released in 1969 and due to it's continuing popularity entered the UK album charts two years later in 1971. The album featured all Canadian songwriters, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Joni Mitchell, Hank Snow, Bruce Cockburn, Ian Tyson and the writer of the title track, Ray Griff.
