Watson Dale - Every Song I Write Is For You (Käytetty CD)
€11,00Quick ViewLong inspired by country legends who endured tragedy and heartache, Dale Watson received a double dose of both in 2000. Devastated after his fiancée died in a car crash in September, Watson attempted suicide by drug overdose after Christmas and wound up committing himself to a mental health institution. After his release, he wrote songs to confront his pain, resulting in Every Song I Write Is for You, a moving, inspiring journey through past joys, present pain, and, ultimately, healing. Emotions of bereavement run through every number: sorrow (I Can’t Let You Go”), anger (”Our First Times and Our Last Times”), sacrifice (”I’d Deal with the Devil”), and acceptance (”I See Your Face in Every Face I See” and ”These Things We’ll Never Do”). Misty, atmospheric arrangements, occasional jazzy rhythms, and (synthesized) strings in the Billy Sherrill tradition frame each number to perfection. As mainstream Nashville leans on cotton-candy kid stuff to maintain eroding audiences, Watson has not only regained his personal bearings, he’s created a classic of staggering proportion, a powerful reminder of what this music is really about. -Rich Kienzle”

Little Steve & the Big Beat - Another Man (CD)
€18,00Quick ViewLittle Steve & the Big Beat are a high-energy Rhythm & Blues outfit; fiery guitar playing and strong vocals on top of a solid rhythm section, while the horns add a groove that will get your hands clapping and your feet moving!
Little Steve & the Big Beat are not merely imitating, but adding their own voice to this expressive style of music. Within just 2,5 years, Little Steve & the Big Beat have played major festivals and clubs in their home country and abroad, such as De Zwarte Cross, Blues Peer, North Sea Jazz Club, Breda Jazz Festival, and many more. Their single Brand New Man (Dec 2014) still receives regular airplay on Belgian national radio. The band and its musicians have been nominated by the Dutch Blues Foundation for ”Best Band”, ”Best Vocalist” and ”Best Drummer” for the Dutch Blues Awards 2015. Based in the Netherlands and formed around Steven van der Nat on guitar and vocals, Little Steve & the Big Beat started playing in January 2013.

In May 2013 the band released their first EP with 3 original tunes (Working Overtime, Hard Times and Count On You) and 2 covers (Feel So Bad, Slip Away) to critical and public acclaim. In 2015 the band successfully toured with Texan guitar-ace Mike Morgan. In November 2016 their highly anticipated debut CD ”Another Man” will be released. The CD contains 11 songs, 10 of which are Little Steve originals.
