Jimmy Rankin Adds More Dates To Canadian Tour, Announces New Album, “Moving East”

Now this is big news. One of the true originals in Canadian music has moved from Nashville to Nova Scotia, and is celebrating with music only he could make. Jimmy Rankin’s new Moving East (out September 28, True North Records) is pure East Coast, a homecoming album featuring true stories, tall tales and bittersweet ballads, and the classic folk-rock sound that Rankin helped pioneer.

Just at a time when people are searching out authentic cultural voices, strong stories and well-crafted songs, Rankin has made an unapologetically East Coast folk-rock record, with a raw, unsentimental and current edge. “I’m putting the party back in the kitchen” quips Rankin.

It’s called Moving East because that’s exactly what Jimmy’s done. He’s moved back to Nova Scotia after seven years living and working in Nashville. Hooking up with fellow Nova Scotian Joel Plaskett as producer, he’s made an album appealing to young and old alike, with songs running the gamut from gritty pub tunes to soulful ballads all featuring great storytelling, and fine songwriting.

One of the most famed Canadian songwriters, Jimmy Rankin wrote such classic Rankin hits as “North Country,” “You Feel The Same Way Too,” and the Juno winning single “Fare The Well Love,” voted the #1 East Coast song of all time by CBC listeners across Canada. His own hits include “Followed Her Around,” “Morning Bound Train,” and “Cool Car.” Jimmy’s the guy who wrote “Mull River Shuffle” a Cape Breton anthem with an all-ages cult following, jamming dance floors and mosh pits at parties, weddings and raves as the last big song of the night.

Says Rankin “With Moving East, I was trying to distil the fabric of Maritime culture into a musical collection replete with life’s highs and lows, and breathe life into stories that capture a feeling, a moment in time, live off the floor and organic.” It’s an album full of classic Cape Breton storytelling, unashamedly celebrating his moving back, and making the music he loves. Now that’s a homecoming.

The Mutineers Want You To Get Back To The Basics With “Drug For That” Video

The Mutineers recently released their video for “Drug For That”, set in the river valleys of the Pacific Northwest. Joined by their long time collaborator Clovis IV on camera/video director duty, they explore places where decay and growth are intermingled; places where beautiful buildings that once held so much promise, are left to rot away—shadows of someone’s else’s dream.

The song serves as a blistering commentary & dystopian take on current social attitudes, for those who would like to get back to the basics of life.

Singer and guitarist Brian Mathusek roamed the world from far East to West and countless places in-between, en-route to founding The Mutineers. Along the way, he gathered stories of hope and fear, love and loss. If there is one constant theme throughout Mathusek’s songwriting, it’s an openness and honesty that comes straight from the heart. Joined by his wife Merry Young on drums and on the road, the now duo have played 120+ dates all across the US, for their latest album.

Brian and Merry returned to Merry’s home state of Oregon and have continued to hone their harmonies, tightened up their sound, and play continually tour dates & festivals such as the Treefort Music Fest, Wildwood Music Festival.

The Mutineers are just finishing up mixing their next release, Threshold with a release dates of September 14th, 2018.

In the pilot episode of Wax Poetics’ new music/travel series, “Soul City,” host (and Wax Poetics writer) Ronnie Reese explores his home town of South Side, Chicago, first visiting with Todd Mayfield, son of soul icon Curtis Mayfield and writer of the new biography “Traveling Soul” (which was co-authored by Wax Poetics writer Travis Atria). They talk about Curtis’s desire to own his own work, which led to starting the record label Curtom. In the second segment, Reese meets with Chicago house icon Ron Trent, where they talk about his rise through the local and international scene, which culminated in cofounding his own label, Prescription Records. In the epilogue, we pop into the (Discogs) Crate Diggers record fair and speak to cofounder Zernell Gillie, as well as chat with Ron Trent again about the joys of record digging.

Carol Kaye: Rock’s Most Prolific Session Musician Gets A Short Doc

More people should really know about Carol Kaye, one of the most prolific and widely heard bass guitarists in rock and pop music, playing on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 50 years.

Read that again. 10,000 songs.

And it’s not like she was on some outsider tracks or artists you’ve never heard of. As a session musician, Kaye was the bassist on many Phil Spector and Brian Wilson productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She is credited with the bass tracks on several Simon & Garfunkel hits and many film scores by Quincy Jones and Lalo Schifrin. She contributed to the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds.

Besides her contributions on bass guitar, she also played 12-string and six-string electric and acoustic guitars – a rareity for female musicians back then.

So, grab a coffee and 10 minutes of your time, and check out this doc.
