Chris Price - Uncle John There's a new song from Chris Price out - hopefully followed by a new record in 2016. The first track (" Uncle John ") is very promising! Listen to it at Bandcamp: Uncle John by Chris Price The Sonic Executive Sessions - Record #2 A demo version of the first track from the new record of The Sonic Executive Sessions sounded fab! " Welcome To The Circus " was at SoundCloud for some days - sadly it's not there anymore. The record is likely out in 2016. Emitt Rhodes - Rainbow Ends In 1973, after battling bad contracts and industry demands, Emitt Rhodes saw his last release, Farewell To Paradise . Emitt Rhodes never recorded another full-length LP. Until now. Rainbow Ends coming February 26, 2016 from Omnivore Recordings - it is his first new album in 43 years. Here is the first song from " Rainbow Ends" - " Dog On A Chain ": Emitt Rhodes at PledgeMusic. Dan Wilson - New record ...

" The Gift " and “ The Hottest Christmas Eve Ever ” are two new songs from Dan Wilson .  They will be just on YouTube. And they are great! He wrote: " I’ve been digging deep & looking for some extra holiday spirit this season. Christmastime has always been a comfort to me; more so when the world’s dark winter nights seem darker than usual. I’ve been getting deeper into songwriting, even deeper than I usually am. Maybe I’m looking to find more of that holiday comfort, both for myself and you.  Among the fruits are these two new Christmas songs and the lyric videos that I illustrated and calligraphed for them. May they bring you joy! If they do, please share them – they’re not for sale anywhere, they’re just hanging out on Youtube. Best wishes to you and your families this holiday season and thanks as always for being wonderful, generous, and supportive fans.  I look forward to the new year and sharing more musical adventures with you all. " 

It's mid-december, the nights are getting longer, days shorter - so it's time to finish the year 2015 (musically). Again it was an incredible year with stunning new music! Here they are - my Top 10 Records of 2015 : 1. Adam Levy - Naubinway A really good record can be found almost every month. But then there are unique records. Special albums that stay in your mind - and on your turntable/CD-player/smartphone - for a long time. They are really seldom (for me it's about one or two in a decade).

Adam Levy's son Daniel committed suicide in 2012. Adam stopped his musical work and spent much of the next three years grieving and sharing his story in public forums. In 2014 Adam started to work on the new record. The songs are very introspective and refer to the time around this tragic event. Naubinway...
