Griffith's Ruby's Torch |
V Entertainment Network reports: Rounder Records
is pleased to announce the November 14th release of Ruby's Torch, a new
album by Grammy-winning, singer-songwriter and "folkabilly" artist Nanci
Griffith. Ruby's Torch is a collection of intimate torch songs, some penned
by Griffith, others by some of her musical heroes. 'Recording an entire
record of torch songs has been a dream come true for me,' says Griffith
'and something my listeners have been asking me to do for many years.'
Rather than relying on tried-and-true torch
standards, she pays homage to an eclectic array of influences on Ruby's
Torch . [see full story for more]- Click

| Robert
Plant DVD |
V Entertainment Network reports: On October
24, Rounder Records/Zo Vision will release the first-ever music DVD from
the legendary Robert Plant. Produced by Soundstage and directed by Joe
Thomas, Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation was featured in concert
recently on PBS television and is a must-see for new and old fans of one
of rock's most celebrated figures. Few recording artists achieve the type
of legacy that Robert Plant has enjoyed, from his early career fronting
hard rock juggernaut Led Zeppelin to his critically acclaimed solo works.
Plant's musical ventures range from gritty blues to edgy metal, delicate
acoustic balladry, lush soundscapes infused with electronic elements, glowing
pop, and roots music from around the world.
Clocking in at 66 minutes total, the program
was captured live in high-definition and mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound. The
set ran the gamut from reinvented Led Zeppelin classics to some striking
selections from Plant's solo career. [see full story for more]-
