Justin Townes Earle: 'Midnight at the Movies'
Midnight at the Movies 2009 sophomore album from Justin Townes Earle, son of Americana favorite Steve Earle.
Within the first song on Midnight at the Movies, you just know you're hearing something special, that you are party to the unknown and exhilarating paths being explored by an artist on the creative ascendancy.
Midnight at the Movies displays an adeptness and musical sophistication of remarkable, organic breadth and is as lyrically sharp as a lover's tongue as she is walking out the door.
Midnight at the Movies is held firm by Justin's astonishing vision and conviction, yet roams o'er the vast landscape of American music without so much as a stumble.
Putumayo: 'Rhythm & Blues'
Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures.
The label grew out of Putumayo clothing company, founded by Dan Storper in 1975 and sold in 1997. Co-founder Michael Kraus joined Dan to launch Putumayo World Music and establish a non-traditional sales division.
Putumayo World Music has become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great international music characterized by the company's motto: "guaranteed to make you feel good!"
Putumayo's CD covers feature the distinctive art of Nicola Heindl, whose colorful, folkloric style represents one of Putumayo's goals: to connect the traditional to the contemporary. By combining appealing music and visuals with creative retail marketing, Putumayo has developed a unique brand identity - a rarity in today's artist-based music industry.
Putumayo's newest release, Rhythm & Blues, features first generation soul legends and rising stars of the retro R&B revival.
Scheduled for release on February 9, it's the label's first album exclusively dedicated to the genre. The '60s and '70s rhythm and blues of The Four Tops, Otis Redding and The Supremes, among others, became a global phenomenon and has inspired a new generation of artists who are reviving the classic soul sound.
