The Lumineers - Automatic - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2019 . Two-time Grammy-nominated band The Lumineers are back with their third album, III, a cinematic piece presented as a narrative in three chapters, with each one centering on one main character. III's concept began while the band was writing in the Catskill mountains, where producer Simone Felice works. Decidedly darker than their previous work in concept, but replete with their trademark expressive vocals and dynamic arrangements, III boldly and expertly goes in an artistic direction not yet traveled by the band. The Lumineers have enjoyed substantial commercial success; their 2012 self-titled debut was certified triple-platinum in 2018, and their sophomore album Cleopatra was certified platinum in the same year after it's 2016 . They've had multiple #1 hits on the Triple A and Alternative radio charts, and have sold out tours across the world; over 300,000 tickets were sold on 2017's Cleopatra world tour. The Lumineers have also supported icons and their musical heroes on the road, including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and U2's Joshua Tree tour.

Bluegrass emanates from the heart of Larry Sparks. Gospel music bounds from his soul. Paired together, bluegrass gospel represents the absolute best of Larry Sparks as a singer and as a man. On Ministry In Song, Sparks' latest chapter within his massive catalog of classics, the bluegrass Hall of Fame member shines on a well-chosen mix of orignal numbers and time-worn classics from the likes of Hank Williams and Jimmie Davis.

American soul singer, songwriter and producer Johnny Bristol worked for Motown from 1959 to 1972 with the top selling acts of the roster including the Supremes and Smokey Robinson, and cut some singles in the early 60s as a duo with Jackey Beavers. In 1974, he started his solo career with the notorious smash InchHang On In There Baby,Inch which he also wrote and produced. Several years later, Johnny re-recorded his big hit with a more modern musical backing that especially appealed to the Euro-Disco audience and created quite a buzz in the dance clubs. On the new single presented here, the vocal track from that session is featured with a completely recreated new backing track that eclipses the original and shines a new light on the vintage classic.
