Havalina Rail Co. (album)
''Havalina Rail Co.'' is the first studio album by the American eclectic rock band Havalina Rail Co., released 1994. In an interview for KPSU, Wignall commented that the first album was "this sort of finding our path and gravitating towards American sounds". The album featured folk, swing, jazz, zydeco, and rock influences; according to Matt Wignall, the swing influence led many to falsely assume that the band was part of the contemporary Swing revival."On our first Tooth & Nail album, you could swing dance to the first song, so we're a "swing" band, but if you listen to the rest of the album, there are maybe 1 or 2 songs where, if you're really hard-pressed, you could get a swing dancing going.Interview with Matt Wignallby Nolan Shigley and Tricia Krull at The Phantom Tollbooth.

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
