About this product
Sid Griffin is a leading light of the Americana music scene having been a key part of this musical and cultural revolution since it began. His first professional break was with the Unclaimed in the post-punk L.A. scene circa 1980, a band which inspired all the later acts of the Paisley Underground (Bangles, Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate) and one Little Steven acclaimed publicly on his SiriusXM Underground Garage radio show. Two years later Griffin, a Kentucky native, shifted to performing the roots rock of his youth as a founder of the Long Ryders, a band which played Americana and alt-country tunes long before they were the established musical genres they are today. Currently Griffin and the Long Ryders are on display in Nashville via a sizable portion of the Country Music Hall of Fame's acclaimed Western Edge exhibit alongside Griffin's peers in Lone Justice and his heroes The Byrds. The Journey From Grape To Raisin is Sid's first solo album in a decade. It was recorded in Nashville with his trusted producer Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith, Otis Gibbs, Steve Young) and dear friends such as legendary bassist Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs, Chris Hillman) and session whiz Tammy Rogers (Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood). It's eleven songs include ten Griffin originals and one campfire cover of, get ready, the Velvet Underground's Femme Fatale. When asked about the sessions and the album as a whole Griffin smiles and calls The Journey From Grape To Raisin Inchmy career highlight, the best work I am ever likely to do. Heaven forbid I should go but if I did I'd die happyInch.

Verdi created 28 works for the musical stage, from his fledgling Oberto of 1839 (after it's La Scala premiere the impresario Bartolomeo Merelli commissioned him to compose no fewer than three further operas) all the way to Falstaff of 1893. Verdi thus wrote half a century of opera history. This is also reflected in the arias that Ludovic Tezier has chosen for his debut album at Sony Classical. They begin with early works from what Verdi himself called his Inchyears in the galleysInch, such as Nabucco (1842) and Ernani (1844), his first collaboration with the librettist Francesco Maria Piave, who would later become so important to him. They then continue through the famous Inchbig threeInch that finally brought him worldwide fame - Rigoletto (1851), Il Trovatore and La Traviata (both 1853) - and come to an end with the late masterpieces Otello (1887) and Falstaff.
