| Aiken's
Different Kinds of Love |
PR reports: The long wait for Clay Aiken fans
is over. RCA Records will release the singer's third album, "A Thousand
Different Ways" on September 19th. The project, Aiken's first outing since
2004, combines 10 cover versions of well-known songs from the '70s, '80s
and '90s with four brand-new songs.
For Aiken, the new album's title has multiple
meanings. "This is an album of love songs," he explains, "but they are
about all different kinds of love. Romantic love, Friendship, Unconditional
love. There are a thousand different kinds of love; a thousand different
ways to tell someone you love them. And, on top of that, since so many
of these songs are covers, it's realistic to say that many of them have
been or could be sung a thousand different ways."
.."Aiken credits Chairman CEO BMG U.S.,
Clive Davis for coming up with the concept for the album� 'He is a man
who not only knows music, but really has his finger on the pulse of what
listeners want to hear.'" [Wow Jive pushing a cover album? Whodathunkit?
And yeah the public has been clamoring for a new version of "Everything
I Do (I Do It For You)". The good news is perhaps we'll see Clay in a mullet
for the video of the Richard Marx cover.]

Steven DVD |
PR reports: Little Steven - Live At Full House
in stores October 31, 2006: During this wild concert from Dec. 1st, 1987
at Grosse Freiheit in Hamburg, Germany, Little Steven totally carried his
audience away with songs like "Los Desaparecidos" and "No More Party's".
Perhaps known best for his role as guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E-Street
Band, here he is accompanied by the Disciples of Soul, with whom he released
a total of six albums in the 80s and 90s. Described as a mixture of rhythm
& blues, soul and rock'n'roll, the music also decries, above all, social
evils in the world. In addition to this sold-out concert, "Fullhouse" moderator
Alan Bangs interviews Steven van Zandt about the ability of the artist
to bring about positive change in the world.[see full story for more]-

| Hem's
Third |
PR reports: Hailing from Brooklyn, NY but
with songs imbued with imagery of traveling long, country roads, through
small towns and open prairies. Hem's third studio album Funnel Cloud waltzes
over alt-country and folk terrain with their nod to traditional folk storytelling
and rootsy mixture of steel pedal, piano, mandolin and stand up bass (along
the lines of Lucinda Williams, Cowboy Junkies and Patti Griffin).
Past tours with Elvis Costello, Beth Orton
and Wilco have won the band an avid international audience and the band
will be touring the US through Sept/Oct, with initial West Coast show info
below and national tourdates soon to be announced. [cd in stores September

Shea Stadium Anniversary |
PR reports: As any good Beatles fan would
know, August 23 marks the anniversary of the "fab four" performing at New
York's Shea Stadium, when they made history while appearing for their last
NYC concert. Usually reserved for baseball games, the ballpark hosted a
phenomenon that night: the "mop tops from Liverpool" caused mass hysteria
when tens of thousands of screaming devotees turned out to see their heroes
in concert.
Now it's 2006 and The Beatles are no more.
But 1964:THE TRIBUTE have been given the honor of commemorating this momentous
event by performing live at Shea Stadium on the exact same date.[see full
