The Smithereens Previously Unreleased Album. In the Fall of 1993, between contracts with Capitol and RCA, The Smithereens ventured into Crystal Sound Studios NYC to write and record a new album for their own tag. The results of those one month marathon recording sessions is this album, unheard by the outside world until now, and appropriately titled InchLost AlbumInch. The Smithereens' take no prisoners sound, reflecting their Garden State roots, has resonated with fans worldwide over the course of 17 albums and 2500+ live shows.

2017 . The sound of The Piggyback Riders is built around Chris Spedding's tasteful guitar playing and the harmony vocals of Sulo and Idde. It's Americana at it's very finest, gently colored by soul, gospel and British pub rock. The first single from the album is InchThere's Nothing Left In Me (That's Good For You)Inch. A heartfelt bonfire ballad with rootsy country harmonies. Idde sings gentle about a breakup while Chris Spedding draws a colorful pattern around it. Like an old Emmylou Harris gem. Album Tracks 1.

Keep Your Heart Alive 11. Whispering Shadows 12. Grain of Gold

Helen Habershon is both an accomplished performer and an inspired composer of music which often evokes nature, or human emotions and sensibilities this is music which is 'easy listening' and in the light music tradition, and is unpretentious, but never facile it has deep meaning. Her first two albums have been highly praised and were Album of the Month and Album of the Week on Classic FM (UK) respectively. Her most recent album, 'Found in Winter', released in 2019, has been aired by Classic FM ever since. Helen had an established performing career until a serious injury led her to turn to composing, but she is now once again able to perform. Here she teams up with the successful pianist and arranger John Lenehan, who has appeared on over 70 recordings including several solo albums for Sony. For Found in Dreams Helen Habershon and John Lenehan offer a wonderfully diverse collection of repertoire. This includes beautiful arrangements of some of their favorite pieces; a couple of short movements of outstanding clarinet repertoire by Brahms and Finzi and some delightful new compositions of their own. As well as his beautifully crafted arrangements John has also written two lovely pieces to add to Helen's. The cover design is a dream image from Helen's five year old grandson. Album Tracks 1.
