Sammy Walker - Days I Left Behind - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Sammy Walker recorded Songs from Woody's Pen in 1979, twelve years after Woody Guthrie died due to complications from Huntington's disease. Though the original recordings of these songs date back more than 30 years, Walker sings them in a traditional folk-revivalist manner reminiscent of Guthrie's social conscience and sense of humor. Speaking of Guthrie, Sammy Walker said, InchI can't think of hardly anyone who has had as much influence on my own singing and songwriting as Woody.Inch This is Walker's enduring record of that influence. Liner notes include track listing, information on Guthrie's Folkways releases and Sammy Walker on Woody Guthrie's lasting music and influence. Album Tracks 1. Grand Coulee Dam, the 2.

In the fall of 1960, New York City wasn't the same urban mecca it is today. Neither was eighteen-year old Barbra Streisand, who emerged on the Greenwich Village club scene at a small, cozy venue on West 8th Street called the Bon Soir, where she received rave reviews and wooed the crowd with her incredible performances. Within two years Streisand, whose magnificent interpretations of both standards and quirky, obscure cabaret tunes was a nationwide sensation, was knocking audiences dead with her nightly performance as Miss Marmelstein in David Merrick's I Can Get It For You Wholesale on Broadway. Sixty years, multiple Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, Tony and Golden Globe awards and nearly two hundred million record sales later, Barbra has for the first time authorized the of a major portion of her Bon Soir performances, as captured in 1962 by Columbia Records. IMPEX Records - in conjunction with Sony Music Entertainment - is proud to present the audiophile 180-gram vinyl LP. Album Tracks 1. Introduction By David Kapralik / My Name Is Barbra 2. Much More 3.

Some records are made despite everything working against them. Samuel Smith's The Art of Letting Go, released via Compass Records, is one of them. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2020 at age 44, the London-based singer-songwriter has spent the past five years finding ways to keep writing as the condition slowly took away his ability to play guitar. The result is a Nashville-recorded album, produced by two-time Grammy-winner Matt Rollings and featuring some of the most celebrated names in American roots music, all held together by the kind of hard-won clarity that only comes from facing something you can't outrun.The album was recorded with a constellation of musicians, including dobro master and 16-time GRAMMY winner Jerry Douglas, GRAMMY-winning banjo pioneer Alison Brown, fiddler Stuart Duncan, and guitarist Bryan Sutton. Vocal trio Tiny Habits, singers Jonatha Brooke and Glen Phillips, and jazz guitarist Julian Lage also feature. Album Tracks 1. Good Times 2. Lately (Feat. Paul Figueres) 3. Shouldn't Be Here (Feat, David Mead) 4. The Art of Letting Go (Feat. Julian Lage and Tiny Habits) 5. Deception (Feat. Glen Phillips) 6. Horizon (Feat. Julian Lage) 7. You Make It Easy (Feat. Jonatha Brooke) 8. Won't Look Back
