Staples Jr. Singers - When Do We Get Paid - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Songs About Jane is the debut studio album from Maroon 5. The album became a sleeper hit with the help of five singles that attained chart success 'Harder to Breathe', 'This Love' and 'She Will Be Loved'. At the end of 2004, the album reached the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 chart and sold nearly 2.7 million copies by August 2015. It has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Maroon 5 formed in Los Angeles, California. Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine (lead vocals, lead guitar), Jesse Carmichael (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) Mickey Madden (bass guitar) and Ryan Dusick (drums), formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school. The band, which self-released an album called We Like Digging?, then signed to Reprise Records and released the album The Fourth World in 1997. After the album garnered a tepid response, the band parted ways with the record tag and the members attended college. In 2001, the band changed it's image by adding guitarist James Valentine and pursuing a new direction under the name Maroon 5. At this point, Carmichael switched to playing keyboards, which has since become his main instrument in the band. After these changes, Maroon 5 signed with a subsidiary of J Records, Octone Records, and released their debut album, Songs About Jane, in June 2002. The rest is history

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and E Street Band member Nils Lofgren returns with a vengeance with his first new studio album since 2011. From searing rock tracks to tender ballads, each composition takes you along on a sonic journey with one of rock's most respected players, displaying Lofgren's incredible guitar and songwriting talents. There are 6 songs on this album that were co-penned with Lou Reed, 5 of which have never before seen the light of day. Lofgren shares Inchthis album was recorded live, the old school way. Inspired players in each other's faces rocking live in the studio. Andy Newmark on drums, Kevin McCormick on bass. We had a laugh at my live, backwards lead jam during 'Give,' one of 6 songs written with the great Lou Reed. Electric and inspired, I'm thrilled to share this new music.Inch While Nils is best known as a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, he has a dedicated and loyal worldwide fan base, and an amazing 50 year solo career in between stints with Springsteen, Neil Young, and Ringo Starr. Besides the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Nils has been honored with the InchOutstanding Contribution AwardInch at the Classic Rock Awards held in London (joining esteemed company of previous winners who have included fellow Rock Hall of Famers Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood and John Paul Jones), and been inducted into the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (where he currently resides with his wife Amy, who produced the album with him). PBS News Hour ran a segment on Nils' 50 years on the road in December. The new album will coincide with a US tour kicking off in early May. A national PR campaign will support the album and tour.

It happens at times that a stone cold classic from a bygone era gets rediscovered. But how often does that rediscovery happen when the band is still around? And how often does it lead to a new album? That's the surprising circumstance behind the Staples Jr. Singers' long-awaited second album, SEARCHING (out June 14). You likely know the Staples Jr. Singers-the family band from Aberdeen, Mississippi-from their first and only record, 1975's WHEN DO WE GET PAID (Luaka Bop, 2022). They made that record themselves when they were only teenagers. Finally, in a moment they've been waiting for most of their lives, the family is back with their sophomore album, SEARCHING. Recorded in 2023 in West Point, Mississippi, and Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by Ahmed Gallab, aka Sinkane, with notes by Anton Spice.
