ECMA announces landmark partnerships to help strengthen future of Atlantic Canadian music sector

The East Coast Music Association (ECMA) unveiled a series of landmark partnerships with the music industry associations from five regions, Music Canada, and Music Canada Live this weekend in an effort to help strengthen the future of Atlantic Canada’s music sector.

The cross-provincial effort brings together MusicNL, Music Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Music Industry Cooperative, Music / Musique NB, and Music PEI, and echoes the ECMA’s new new mission statement, which sees a commitment to ensuring East Coast musicians can have a sustainable career without leaving the region.

Undertaking the first steps towards this strategic development, ECMA – in conjunction with Music Canada and Music Canada Live – will spearhead an economic impact study to collect data on the benefits of the music sector to the regional economy.

“We want to put on the table just how strong music is as an economic driver,”Andy McLean, Executive Director of ECMA, told the Cape Breton Post.

Music Canada, an association that promotes the interests of the Canadian music community, produced a similar study for British Columbia which lead to the establishment of the BC Music Fund – a $15 million investment from the government to support and boost activities in the province’s music industry. Music Canada Live, an organization aimed at advancing and promoting the many economic, social and cultural benefits of the live music sector, has also been involved in similar studies, such as the Live Music Measures Up! report for the province of Ontario.

During a presentation at the Membertou Trade & Convention Centre on Saturday during Eastlink East Coast Music Week 2016, Amy Terrill, Executive Vice President of Music Canada, said these studies are intended to be “a road map” for “part of a bigger strategy.”

There’s a Traveling Wilburys Collection box set coming…

Concord Bicycle Music is very pleased to announce that it has entered into a worldwide licensing agreement with The Traveling Wilburys to represent the iconic band’s entire catalog, including physical and digital reissues.

For the first time ever, the super group’s music will be available on streaming services, beginning June 3, 2016, along with the re-launch of the hugely successful Traveling Wilburys Collection box set as a limited-edition, uniquely numbered 2-CD 1-DVD box set, standard 2-CD 1-DVD package, deluxe 180-gram vinyl box and for the first time as high-resolution downloads. The release includes albums (Vol. 1 and Vol. 3), bonus tracks and a DVD featuring footage of the band from the first chord to the final mix.

When originally released in 2007, The Traveling Wilburys Collection debuted at #1 in the U.K. and six other countries and entered the U.S. charts at #9, making it the highest chart debut of a box set at the time, and has since been certified Gold.

The previously released albums Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 feature music’s greatest singer-songwriters — George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan — as the legendary band the Traveling Wilburys.

The Wilburys formed in 1988 after Dylan, Harrison, Petty, Lynne and Orbison assembled at Dylan’s Malibu, California studio to record a B-side for the Harrison single “This Is Love.” The resulting song, “Handle With Care,” was instead released under the Wilburys name, with the artists posing as a band of brothers. George later said, “I liked the song and the way that it turned out with all these people on it so much that I just carried it around in my pocket for ages thinking, ‘Well what can I do with this thing?’ And the only thing to do I could think of was do another nine. Make an album.” The original album release, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, achieved great success; after hitting No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, the certified double Platinum album earned a GRAMMY® for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, the group’s second album, was released in 1990 and dedicated to Lefty (Roy Orbison) Wilbury, who passed away in late 1988 before recording could be completed. “She’s My Baby” and “Wilbury Twist” became radio hits as the album reached #11 in the U.S. and was certified Platinum.

Justin Bieber Is On A Chart Run Never Seen In Music History

Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” drops 6-8 on this week’s Hot 100 after topping the chart for two (nonconsecutive) weeks, and grants Bieber history: it has spent its first 22 weeks on the Hot 100 in the top 10, dating to its debut at No. 4 on the Dec. 5 chart.

Here is an updated look at the songs to debut in the Hot 100’s top 10 and remain in the tier for the most consecutive weeks:

22 weeks, “Love Yourself,” Justin Bieber (2015-16)
21 weeks, “Sorry,” Bieber (2015-16)
21 weeks, “What Do You Mean?,” Bieber (2015-16)
21 weeks, “Sugar,” Maroon 5 (2015)
21 weeks, “Starships,” Nicki Minaj (2012)

Great Jazz Remix of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Welcome to the Jungle’

Let’s keep Guns N’ Roses in the news, shall we? Musician and composer Andy Rehfeldt created an fun eclectic jazz remix of a live version of Welcome To The Jungle.

The chances of the band doing this version live is slightly less than, say, Axl Rose fronting AC/DC. Ha! Ha! Right? Wait…What?

Yes’ Roundabout Is No Match For This One Man Cover

The 1971 Yes track Roundabout is one of the most epic and complicated rock tunes of all time, with 43 different parts, and even as a high-school drummer, I don’t think I got past the first 8 bars without screwing it up. YouTuber Friday Night Lullaby rose to the challenge, recreating each and every component himself, including the brilliantly-layered vocals.

So true.

Funkadelic’s “You And Your Folks Me And My Folks” Promo Film From 1971

Maggot Brain, the third studio album by the American funk band Funkadelic, was released in 1971 on Westbound Records. It was the last album that featured the original Funkadelic lineup; shortly after Maggot Brain was recorded, Tawl Ross, Eddie Hazel, Billy Nelson, and Tiki Fulwood left the band for various reasons. Pitchfork Media named it the 17th best album of the 1970s, and in 2012, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 479 on their list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

“You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks” is a very class-conscious song, with the singer pleading for unity among the poor because without doing so, equality could not be achieved. The song has Judie Jones (Worrell’s girlfriend at time) in songwriting credits, which it has been claimed was mistakenly for this song instead of “Red Hot Mama” (from Standing on the Verge of Getting It On). The song’s refrain is very similar to an old folk rhyme that was first published in Thomas W. Talley’s Negro Folk Rhymes (Wise or Otherwise) (1922).
