Seriously, at what
point did time start whipping by like this?
It’s really MAY FIRST? Remember
when you were a kid in the back seat of the car, watching out the window of the
freeway as the trees were whipping rapidly by?
That’s how I feel the last few years have been going. It makes you want to stop and smell the roses
sometimes (you’re welcome, Louisville).
No, really. I remember as a kid
that the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas was an eternity. Now I count the weekends in between and
wonder how much time we actually have to work, shop and still have a life in
order to get to the holidays. Even for
me, an avid football fan (my wife will tell you that is an understatement), the
offseason doesn’t seem so horribly long anymore. And the summer really does feel like a few
weekends, which, technically, it is. There
are not enough hours in the day, either, or enough days in the week. So we all must make the best of it as we
can. Thankfully, music is a constant
that helps gets us through the week and move us along, and here is what we have
going on this month….
New
Clients and Upcoming Releases
Jesse
Terry Empty Seat on a Plane After compiling a batch of songs that he was happy with for his second
album, Jesse Terry decided that he
wanted to create an album that showcased his singer/songwriter vibe without
putting too many bells and whistles on top of the guitar and vocal. Nashville producer/engineer Neilson Hubbard
helped to bring the material to life and shared Terry’s vision of “less is
more.” The result of their work together
is Empty Seat on a Plane, set
for release July 10. www.jesseterrymusic.com
Chris Schutz & The Tourists Sunglasses on Starlight is set to release their new album, Sunglasses at Starlight on May 15. The album, which is the follow-up to their
2010 debut, Gemini, was recorded live
(with the exception of the bonus track) in one take at the infamous Black Lodge
Studios, where William S. Burroughs, Kurt Cobain and Al Jourgensen from
Ministry have all recorded. Sunglasses at Starlight was produced by
Ed Rose in Eudora, Kansas. www.chrisschutz.com
Lynn Taylor: Barfly It’s often part of human
nature that after taking a long break from something, you come back to it
energized and with renewed passion. Such
is the case with Nashville-based Americana artist Lynn Taylor, formerly of the ragtag string band
Felix Wiley, who is back with a Paul Burch-produced album, Barfly. www.facebook.com/BarFly.LynnTaylor
Tab
Benoit: A fierce commitment to creative and environmental ideals
comes to the forefront in a compilation of recordings from Tab Benoit’s years,
so far, on the Telarc label. Legacy: The Best of Tab Benoit
gathers 14 tracks that mark some of the high points in the career of an artist
who has been aptly described as “the new kid from the old school.” Legacy was released on April 3, 2012, on

the new album. www.tabbenoit.com
