“Only one antidote for the livin’ dead,
A swingin’ snare and a thumpin’ bass,
To put those ghouls right back in their place …”
“Return Of The Voodoo Sheiks” – The Black Sorrows [2014]
50 years - and counting. That’s how long Australia has been entertained by the never weary Joe Camilleri. The Pelaco Brothers. Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons. The Revelators. Bakelite Radio. The Voodoo Sheiks. The Black Sorrows. They’re just some of the bands Joe has been associated with during all those years. In celebration of his half century in music, Joe is hitting the road again with a new Black Sorrows album ‘Certified Blue’ and you’ll hear tracks from it on JR this week.
Another Aus-Music veteran you’ll hear in this edition is former Angels’ frontman, Doc Neeson. After rebounding from some serious health issues over the past decade, Doc returns with a new version of Flash & The Pan’s classic, “Walking In The Rain”.
And there’s more Aussie talent this week with new releases from Adelaide band, The Audreys and Rock singer, Dan Sultan with the first fruits of his recent recording sessions in Nashville, Tennessee.
Another treat comes from Aussie Blues trio, Backsliders with their 13th studio album, ‘Dark Side’. The song “Prayer Flags” is written by Broderick Smith, an Aus-Music survivor in his own right.
English Trip-Hop trio, London Grammar have just released another single from their debut album, ‘If You Wait. The band has already made a huge impression both in their homeland and here in Australia and are now finding more supporters on their current tour of North America.
On the Comeback Trail® this week, we spotted Chrissie Hynde. After almost 3 decades of recording with various lineups of her band the Pretenders, Chrissie is about to release an official solo debut in June. You’ll hear the first song from it right here.
It’s been a good couple of years since their hugely popular ‘El Camino’ album but The Black Keys are soon to return with a new record called ‘Turn Blue’. In the meantime, the band’s singer and guitarist, Dan Auerbach has built himself a reputation as ‘Producer du Jour’, working on records for Dr. John, Bombino, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Ray LaMontagne and more. Somehow, he also found time to make his own album.
Ben Harper is well known for his collaborations with the likes of Charlie Musselwhite and The Blind Boys Of Alabama but this time, it’s a family affair. Ben’s back and he’s he’s brought his Mum. Their new album, ‘Childhood Home’ is out in early May. As well, we have another song from the great “lost” album by Johnny Cash and you’ll hear it in this packed edition of Just Released. Bring a friend.
