with Morningwood |
Day in Rock reports: Morningwood are out on
the road in support of their Capitol/EMI debut. Haven't heard em, their
bio states the following: "Its no surprise that Morningwood's debut is
a bit of a party record - a cross between decadent sunset strip swagger
(see: Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue), bubblegum pop in hard rock clothing
(see:Van Hagar licks Diamond Dave's Ass, AC/DC ) and that knowing cheekiness
that only a female rock star can pull off (see: Hole, Joan Jett.)" They
have a few dates left supporting Head Automatica before they headout with
The Sounds.

Morrison Pays the Devil |
Press Release reports: Van Morrison's 'Pay
The Devil' will be in stores March 7th.
There's a reason they call Van Morrison
the Belfast Cowboy. Now with Morrison's latest album Pay The Devil, that
good reason has resulted in a great new album. From the start, the deeply
soulful sounds of the American South helped inspire Morrison to one of
the most enduring and consistently impressive careers in music history.
For forty-years, he's drawn upon the greats of Rhythm & Blues to create
his own distinctive and influential blend of soul and Celtic influences.
On Pay The Devil, Morrison explores his inner cowboy more than ever before
- recording a compelling mix of his favorite country compositions as well
as a few equally strong originals that more than earn their place among
such distinguished company. Morrison has taken some enduring, endlessly
relevant songs of the south and somehow made them all his own. [see full
