Kerri Woelke - Where We Were [COMPACT DISCS] Canada - Import date 12/23/2008

Digitally remastered edition of this 1980 album from the former Kansas member. Pieced together during snatched moments of downtime away from Kansas' Audio Visions recording sessions, Livgren's first solo album Seeds of Change is a long forgotten jewel. Featuring guest appearances from most of his Kansas colleagues, as well as cameo's from the likes of Ronnie James Dio, Jethro Tull drummer Barrie Barlow and Ambrosia front man David Pack; it not only showcased the guitarist's versatility as a songwriter, but also allowed him to push the envelope like never before. Songs blessed with striking arrangements and a surfeit of stirring hooks, 'Mask of the Great Deceiver', 'To Live for the King' and their ilk still rank amongst Livgren's greatest contributions to the pantheon of Progressive Rock music. 12 page full color booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, unpublished photos and new interview with Kerry Livgren.

Globally beloved Australian trio Sons of the East have announced their highly anticipated second album, SONS, due out June 13 via MGM (Metropolitan Groove Merchants). Sons of the East - Jack Rollins (vocals, guitar), Nic Johnston (vocals, keys) and Dan Wallage (guitar, banjo) - originally hail from Sydney's Northern Beaches, but their unmistakable sound has carried them to every corner of the globe. Blending folk, blues, soul, and classic country, their music channels the raw vulnerability of Townes Van Zandt and Gram Parsons, combined with the soaring harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Avett Brothers. Known for their deft songwriting and a palpable sense of joy that runs through every note, they've built a career on both timeless recordings and legendary live shows - the kind that leave audiences singing along.Their rise has been nothing short of remarkable - with over 700 million streams, 75 million YouTube views, and more than 100,000 headline tickets sold - all achieved completely independently. In the two years since releasing their debut album Palomar Parade (now nearing 100 million streams), Sons of the East have played sold-out shows across the globe, from London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire to The Troubadour in LA, Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York, and Sala Apolo in Barcelona. With SONS, they keep that momentum going, capturing the intimacy and euphoria that have become their signature.
