Born June 22, 1936 in Brownsville, Texas, Kristoffer (“Kris”) Kristofferson has been an active force in the entertainment industry for the past half century. An influential singer/songwriter who changed the contours of American country music with the lyrical insight and penetrating honesty of his songs, a US Army veteran (who served from 1960-1965, achieving the rank of Captain) and former Oxford University Rhodes Scholar who won a Golden Globes Best Actor Award (for his starring role opposite Barbra Streisand in the 1976 movie smash “A Star Is Born”), Kris Kristofferson is both a multi-faceted artist and a bonafide American icon.

A musician whose sound bridges the worlds of country, folk, rock and gospel, Kristofferson is one of the sonic architects of the American outlaw country movement. Having written and recorded such hit songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “For the Good Times,” “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night” and many others, Kris Kristofferson is among the most influential and admired musicians in the world, with a body of work that spans the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In 1985, he united with fellow outlaw country artists Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings to form The Highwaymen, the world’s first country music “supergroup.” He was induced into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004.

Kristofferson wrote his first songs while studying at Merton College at Oxford University, hoping the craft of songwriting would further his goal of becoming a novelist. While in England, he cut his first records as “Kris Carson” for the Top Rank Records label. This early foray into the music industry proved unsuccessful. Graduating Oxford with a master’s degree in English literature in 1960, Kristofferson eventually relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where he began to ply his trade as a songwriter while working as a series of other jobs including helicopter pilot, oil rig operator (in Louisiana) and janitor at Columbia Recording Studios.

By 1967, Kristofferson had signed with Epic Records, who released an unsuccessful single, “Golden Idol”/”Killing Time”. Meanwhile, Kris Kristofferson-penned songs were hitting the charts, performed by other artists including Roy Drusky (“Jody and the Kid”); Billy Walker & the Tennessee Walkers (“From the Bottle to the Bottom”); Ray Stevens (“Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down”); Jerry Lee Lewis (“Once More with Feeling”); Faron Young (“Your Time’s Comin'”); and Roger Miller (“Me and Bobby McGee”, “Best of all Possible Worlds”, and “Darby’s Castle”). Kris started to achieve attention as a performer in his own right, especially after being introduced on-stage at the Newport Folk Festival by Johnny Cash.

Signed as a recording artist to Monument Records by the prescient Fred Foster, Kristofferson saw his eponymous debut album released in 1970. The album, Kristofferson, included newly written originals as well as some of Kris’s most familiar hits for other artists; re-released as Me & Bobby McGee a year later, the collection put Kris Kristofferson front and center in the worlds of popular and country music. Ray Price’s recording of “For the Good Times” helped the composition win the Academy of Country Music’s Song of the Year in 1970 while Johnny Cash’s version of “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” secured the Song of the Year award that same year from the Country Music Association. Kris Kristofferson’s double win for Song of the Year in 1970 marked the only time a single individual has ever achieved the same award–from Country Music’s two competing professional guilds–in the same year for two different songs.

In 1971, Janis Joplin’s definitive recording of “Me and Bobby McGee” became a #1 hit and remains a radio perennial to this day. While a string of Kristofferson songs became hits for other artists–Ray Price (“I’d Rather Be Sorry”); Joe Simon (“Help Me Make It Through the Night”); Bobby Bare (“Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends”); O.C. Smith (“Help Me Make It Through the Night”); Jerry Lee Lewis (“Me and Bobby McGee”); Patti Page (“I’d Rather Be Sorry”); Peggy Little (“I’ve Got to Have You”) and Kenny Rogers (“Me and Bobby McGee”), Kristofferson solidified his position as a recordings artist with the release of The Silver Tongued Devil and I in 1971. He swept the Grammys in 1971 with several nominations, winning Country Song of the Year for “Help Me Make It Through the Night.”

Nonesuch Releases American Tunes, Final Recording from Late New Orleans Legend Allen Toussaint, on June 10

Nonesuch releases American Tunes, a new studio album by legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint, on June 10, 2016. Toussaint had just completed the album when he passed away in November of last year during a European tour. Recording took place at two sets of sessions with producer Joe Henry: solo piano at Toussaint’s New Orleans home studio in 2013, and with the rhythm section of Jay Bellerose and David Piltch—joined by guests Bill Frisell, Charles Lloyd, Greg Leisz, Rhiannon Giddens, and Van Dyke Parks—in Los Angeles in October 2015. The album comprises solo performances of Professor Longhair tunes and band arrangements of songs by Toussaint, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Paul Simon, and others.

Allen Toussaint’s work as composer, producer, arranger, and performer, especially in the 1960s and ’70s, helped shape the sound of R&B, soul, and funk as we know it today. He collaborated memorably with artists ranging from Lee Dorsey and Ernie K. Doe to the Pointer Sisters and Labelle, from the Meters and Dr. John to the Band and Paul McCartney. The New York Times recently said, “In Mr. Toussaint’s long career as songwriter, arranger and producer he has honed a piano style that’s supportive and allusive; a little trill or tremolo sums up all the splashy joys of New Orleans patriarchs like Professor Longhair and James Booker, and a syncopated chord under right-hand octaves summons gospel. Mr. Toussaint has the two-fisted, rippling vocabulary of the city’s piano legacy, but he uses it in dapper ways.”

Toussaint’s children, Alison Toussaint-LeBeaux and Clarence Reginald Toussaint, who have long served as their father’s managers, said of the American Tunes album, “Our father approached this project with great care and understanding of the songs selected and paid true homage to Professor Longhair, his musical hero. He wanted to bring as much of the Toussaint touch as he could to these wonderful classics.”

Nonesuch previously released The Bright Mississippi in 2009. Also produced by Henry, the record includes songs by jazz greats such as Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Django Reinhardt, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and Billy Strayhorn. The album received tremendous critical praise, with the Boston Globe saying it “couldn’t sound more like New Orleans. (Toussaint) revisits jazz classics … and takes them for a stroll through Preservation Hall, imbuing his own funky brand of pop-song charisma. The results are coolly sophisticated, an unfussy, mostly instrumental set of slink-and-slide joints shot through with a harmonic imagination that turns even a traditional hymn into an after-hours swing … Toussaint’s musical soul guides all, making the classics sound like his own.”

That project indirectly grew from Toussaint’s contributions to Our New Orleans, the benefit album that Nonesuch released in fall 2005 to aid hurricane victims in the wake of the Katrina disaster. That collection opens with a version of “Yes We Can Can,” the Toussaint song the Pointer Sisters made famous, newly recorded with producer Joe Henry, and it included a solo piano piece, “Tipitina and Me,” co-written by Toussaint in tribute to Professor Longhair.

Joe Henry had first worked with Toussaint when he invited the pianist to join the sessions for I Believe to My Soul, a studio convocation of mature R&B stars. Henry subsequently acted as producer on Toussaint’s post-Katrina collaboration with Elvis Costello, The River in Reverse. He describes the most recent sessions: “I have been working with Allen Toussaint—under his spell and subject to his influence—for a full decade now. He was a quiet radical, musically-speaking, and a prince of great humility.”

The Ramones’ Debut Album Is Getting The Remaster You’ve Been Waiting For

The Ramones’ Debut Album Is Getting The Remaster You’ve Been Waiting For

The Ramones (Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee and Tommy) sounded like nothing else when their self-titled debut came roaring onto the scene in 1976. Even so, original drummer Tommy Ramone did do a pretty good job describing the band’s primal sound when he penned the quartet’s press bio that same year. “The Ramones all originate from Forest Hills and kids who grew up there either became musicians, degenerates or dentists. The Ramones are a little of each,” he observed. “Their sound is not unlike a fast drill on a rear molar.”

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Ramones, recently named the “Greatest Punk Album Of All Time” by Rolling Stone, and certainly one of the most important and influential albums of all time. This 29-minute masterpiece helped launch the punk rock scenes in both America and Britain, and also went on to inspire countless other artists for generations to come. To celebrate the Ramones’ lasting impact, Rhino has created the ultimate tribute to the band’s landmark debut, which comes packaged in a 12 x 12 hardcover book. The 3CD/1 vinyl LP set is a limited edition of 19,760 individually numbered copies and includes a sonically superior remastered stereo version and a meticulously recreated mono mix of the original album, plus rarities, unheard demos, and an unreleased live show, all produced, mixed, and mastered by the album’s original producer and mixer Craig Leon.

RAMONES: 40th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION will be available on July 29. In addition to the music, the set also features extensive production notes about the recording of the original album by Leon, an essay looking back on the Ramones’ early days by rock journalist Mitchell Cohen, along with additional pictures taken by Roberta Bayley, whose iconic photo of the band graces the album’s cover.

The first disc features Leon’s newly remastered stereo version and mono mix of the album. “The earliest mixes of the album were virtually mono,” says Leon. “We had an idea to record at Abbey Road and do both a mono and stereo version of the album, which was unheard of at the time. I’m thrilled that now, 40 years later, we followed through on that original idea.”

The anniversary edition’s second disc spotlights single mixes, outtakes, and demos. Several of those recordings have never been released, including demos for “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” “53rd and 3rd,” and “Loudmouth.”

The third disc captures the band performing two full sets live at The Roxy in West Hollywood on August 12, 1976. While the band’s first set has been available before, the evening’s second set makes its debut here. Rounding out the set is a vinyl LP containing the new mono mix of Ramones.

Arkells Announce Brand New Album “Morning Report” For August 5 Release

Hamilton’s hardest-working musical heroes Arkells return with their fourth studio album, Morning Report. Following two years to the day from the issuing of their gold-selling High Noon, Morning Report will be released August 5.

As the most-played band on Canadian Alt-Rock radio in 2015, Arkells have travelled extensively coast to coast via air, replicating same on the ground with near-ceaseless touring. Their reputation for passionate, high-energy Rock’n’Soul is firmly established; Morning Report will illuminate an even more irreverent, adventurous ethos that reflects lead singer-guitarist-chief songwriter Max Kerman’s present musical preoccupations.

“It’s a weird time to be a rock band right now,” observes Kerman. “Tony Hoffer (Beck, m83) once told us ‘Rock music has actually become the most conservative genre.’ Those words really struck me because he’s right. Sonically it hasn’t evolved much and lyrically it’s easy to get away without saying much either. In writing these songs we didn’t want to feel beholden to any expectations from the ‘rock godz’. If it didn’t feel fresh and exciting, it didn’t make the cut. We have no interest in making the same record twice. The most exciting part about making something new is trying different shit and exploring spaces we haven’t been to yet.”

It follows that Morning Report is comprised of click-tracked rhythms, subliminal samples, and electronic pulses – threaded together with horns and strings into a richly-textured mix which more readily recalls montage and collage approaches of Hip-Hop beatmakers than the direct plug-in-and-play attack of a live rock band. Lyrically, however, Kerman’s songwriting hits even closer to home on this album.

“Many of the songs are inspired by friends and family: I have a lot of interesting characters in my life and take a lot of joy in being able to write about them,” Kerman admits. “A lot of songs start from what happened the night before that’s where the title comes from: friends who text the next day and demand ‘Give me the morning report!’”

A special D2C package of Morning Report is also available to fans that includes a limited, coloured vinyl LP, a set of three litho prints, a pennant, t-shirt and a CD + digital album. Visit the Arkells online store here.

This summer the 4X JUNO Award-winners will hit the road for a string of festival performances leading into album release, including Bonnaroo, Firefly Music Festival, Pemberton Music Festival, WayHome Music and Arts Festival, Rock The Shores and Lollapalooza. For more information on Arkells’ performance dates and pre-order packages, visit: arkells.ca.

Foghat have announced plans to release a new album, Under the Influence, their 17th studio record and first since 2010’s Last Train Home, this summer.

Under the Influence was produced by Grammy-nominated Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood). Work began in 2013 at the band’s Boogie Motel South studio in Florida, but eventually moved to Nashville’s Dark Horse Studios.

“I met Tom when presenting three awards to Buddy Guy and Tom (his producer) at the Memphis Blues Awards,” founding drummer Roger Earl said in a press release. “Tom said that he was a fan, and would love to produce a Foghat record. Putting that in the back of my mind, this was the perfect opportunity. Tom came down to Boogie Motel South to meet the band and we clicked and started writing together immediately. Working with him was inspirational!”

Under the Influence will be released on June 24.
