Henry Brown - Henry Brown Blues - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It may surprise fans of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds to learn that some works in the band's canon - at least from the point-of-view of their creators - are tainted with misgivings. Henry's Dream, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' seventh studio album, contains songs critics and fans alike have come to regard as indisputable classics from the band's oeuvre InchPapa Won't Leave You, HenryInch, InchChristina the AstonishingInch, and InchJack the RipperInch, to name just a few. Yet, for the band, Henry's Dream undeniably epitomises - much more so than any of their other albums - the loss of control that ensues when one has exerted but a slippery grip on some very vertiginous circumstances. Ironically, Henry's Dream became one of the Bad Seeds most loved records.

Recorded in 1961, The Blues in St. Louis, Vol. 2 celebrates 1930s and '40s style Barrelhouse Blues and Boogie Woogie. Henry Brown and Edith Johnson came from very different musical backgrounds pianist Brown was formally trained, while Johnson learned the blues by singing along with music playing in her husband's record shop. Yet, the two came together in Jazz and Blues fan Bob Oswald's recording studio, and the result is a combination of Classic Blues instrumentals and vocals like InchHoneysuckle RoseInch and InchLittle Drops of Water,Inch often accompanied by Brown tapping his foot against the piano pedal. Musician and scholar Samuel Charters gives a first hand account of the musicians and circumstances of recording in the liner notes.

2023 . Quarto Valley Records is honored to the last newly recorded music by the late great Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown. The album follows Savoy Brown's critically acclaimed 2022 album, Ain't Done Yet. InchThe album continues the approach I've been taking with the band this past decade,Inch says guitarist/singer/songwriter Kim Simmonds, who formed the band in 1965 in London, England, and is one of the longest running Blues Rock bands in existence. InchThe big difference with the new album is the multi-layer approach I took to recording the guitar parts. It's all blues-based rock music. I try to find new and progressive ways to write and play the music I've loved since I was a young teenager.Inch Kim Simmonds Guitar, Vocals, Organ and Harmonica / Garnet Grimm Drums and Percussion / Pat DeSalvo Bass
