2021

Ingen kan väl ha missat Billie Eilishs segertåg över världen. Hon har spottat ur sig hit efter hit, hon kammade hem otroliga sju Grammys för sin debut "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?", som för övrigt också var det mest streamade albumet i världen 2019, och hon har skrivit titelspåret till Bondfilmen "No Time To Die".<br/><br/>Hennes andra album har fått titeln "Happier Than Ever". Hon har, precis som på debuten, inte samarbetat med några andra låtskrivare eller producenter förutom med sin bror Finneas O'Connell.

Ett musikaliskt projekt som låg Jon Lord extra varmt om hjärtat var The Jon Lord Blues Project. Efter ett gemensamt gig 2010 samlade han nära vänner och veteraner från den brittiska blues- och rockscenen. Uppställningen bestod, förutom Lord själv, av Pete York, Miller Anderson, Maggie Bell, Colin Hodgkinson och Zoot Money - musiker med meriter från bland annat Deep Purple, Spencer Davis Group, Chris Rea och Whitesnake. Detta album spelades in live på Rottweil Jazz Festival 2011. Repertoaren bjuder på klassiska bluestolkningar uppblandat med låtar från Deep Purple och Tom Waits. Nu görs inspelningen återigen tillgänglig för alla blues- och rocksamlare.

Rodrigo Olivia: Sour 2021 [CD]

Standing in the Doorway: Chrissie Hynde sings Bob Dylan. <br/><br/>The songs were recorded in lockdown by Chrissie and her Pretenders bandmate James Walbourne, almost entirely by text message. James would record an initial idea on his phone and send it off to Chrissie to add her vocal, before the tracks were mixed by Tchad Blake (U2, Arctic Monkeys, Fiona Apple).<br/><br/>Speaking about how the album came together and its inspiration, Chrissie says:<br/>'A few weeks into lockdown last year, James sent me the new Dylan track Murder Most Foul. Listening to that song completely changed everything for me. I was lifted out of this morose mood that I'd been in. I remember where I was sitting the day that Kennedy was shot - every reference in the song. Whatever Bob does, he still manages somewhere in there to make you laugh because as much as anything, he's a comedian. He's always funny and always has something to say. That's when I called James and said, 'let's do some Dylan covers' and that's what started this whole thing.' <br/><br/>Standing in the Doorway: Chrissie Hynde sings Bob Dylan includes Chrissie and James' versions of In the Summertime, You're a Big Girl Now, Standing in the Doorway, Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight and Tomorrow is a Long Time..

Lindsey Buckingham is his first solo release since 2011's Seeds We Sow. As with the seven studio and three live albums he has released as a solo artist beginning with 1981's Law and Order, the new project showcases Buckingham's instinct for melody and his singular fingerpicking guitar style, reaffirming his status as one of the most inventive and electrifying musicians of his generation. Written, produced and recorded by Buckingham at his home studio in Los Angeles, CA<br/><br/>The new album is a welcome display of Buckingham's instantly recognizable guitar work and vocal layering, particularly on songs such as "Power Down," "Scream" and "Swan Song." Elsewhere, Buckingham pays homage to '60s folk group the Pozo-Seco Singers' hit single "Time," a song he's admired since he was as a teenager and has long intended to cover. "I wanted to make a pop album, but I also wanted to make stops along the way with songs that resemble art more than pop," he says. "As you age, hopefully you keep getting a little more grounded in the craft of what you're doing. For me, getting older has probably helped to reinforce the innocence and the idealism that hopefully was always there."<br/><br/>Over the last four decades, Buckingham has developed a radical sense of experimentation and an unrivaled savvy as a producer. He first honed these skills as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer and the musical visionary of Fleetwood Mac, for which he wrote and produced several Top Ten hits, including "Go Your Own Way," "Tusk" and "Big Love." Under Buckingham's direction, Fleetwood Mac became one of the best-selling and most beloved rock groups of all time. As a solo artist, Buckingham often plays nearly every instrument himself; his complex arrangements and inventive production choices make his solo work thrilling to experience. Earlier this year, he appeared on "Caution," the newest single from the Killers. He remains a highly sought-after collaborator, a maverick and a visionary.
