Veterans Day is November 11 and comes in the wake of the recent release of "An American Hero," Dion's latest single that features Carlene Carter. That confluence has prompted Dion to comment on the song and its meaning at this time. He remarked, "The song 'An American Hero' is about the people who make sacrifices, every day in every place. They do this by doing their jobs - doing little things with a spirit of service. They make sacrifices for the sake of their families, their friends, their co-workers, their customers, for people who are sick and in need. They spend their lives, bit by bit, a little at a time."
He continued, "But veterans are the ones who laid it all on the line. They risked their lives. They placed themselves in harm's way. And they did it all for the sake of others. They did it to protect and rescue and defend other people. Veterans are the true American heroes, and yet they don't look for personal glory, so they often get ignored and neglected. It's good we have at least a day every year when we make ourselves take notice and give honor. I hope it's obvious to listeners that 'An American Hero' especially applies to these men and women. I hope every time the record spins it gives honor where it's due." (continue)
Kelakos just returned with their first new music in 45 years, "Livin On The Planet Love", and to celebrate we asked Bassist and mixer-producer Linc Bloomfield to tell us about the track. The track comes from their forhtcoming album, "Hurtling Towards Extinction". Here is the story:
Band leader George Kelakos Haberstroh and I stayed connected through the years. I was in government in DC and he stayed very private, writing, singing and making personal recordings. Focusing on his songwriting and mine probably kept me at least from being influenced by all the later trends. Our songwriting is rooted in late 60s and 70s guitar music with a strong bottom end and production built around the vocal. (continue)
