The Peer Sessions
''The Peer Sessions'' is the fifty-fourth studio album by American recording artist Merle Haggard released on the Audium label in 2002. Background The old pop and country standards recorded for this collection were taken from the Ralph S. Peer publishing catalogue. They were recorded between 1996 and 1998 when Haggard was still with Curb Records.

Reception Zac Johnson of AllMusic wrote: "Overall, The Peer Sessions work both as an interesting collection of classic country songs and a solid individual work."

Merle Haggard
Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 – April 6, 2016) was an American country music singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler. Haggard was born in Oildale, California, toward the end of the Great Depression. His childhood was troubled after the death of his father, and he was incarcerated several times in his youth. After being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, he managed to turn his life around and launch a successful country music career. He gained popularity with his songs about the working class that occasionally contained themes contrary to anti–Vietnam War sentiment of some popular music of the time. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, he had 38 number-one hits on the US country charts, several of which also made the ''Billboard'' all-genre singles chart. Haggard continued to release successful albums into the 2000s. He received many honors and awards for his music, including a Kennedy Center Honor (2010), a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2006), a ...

Lost Dogs And Mixed Blessings
''Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings'' is the 12th studio album by American folk singer John Prine, released in 1995. The cover artwork is by John Callahan. Recording ''Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings'' was produced by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers bassist Howie Epstein, who produced Prine's 1991 Grammy Winning comeback album ''The Missing Years''. The album features several songs Prine co-wrote with Nashville veteran Gary Nicholson and includes contributions from guitarist Waddy Wachtel and Marianne Faithfull. It was recorded, as ''The Missing Years'' had been, at Huh Sound Theater, Los Angeles and Pacifique Recording Studios, North Hollywood – which was really Epstein's house – and featured many of the same musicians that played on the previous album. However, Prine told the ''Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel'' in 1995, "I didn’t want to try to come up with ''The Missing Years II''. Sure, it came out big and shiny, but it won’t help if you put horns on it if the songs a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Prine
John Edward Prine (; October 10, 1946 – April 7, 2020) was an American singer-songwriter of country-folk music. He was active as a composer, recording artist, live performer, and occasional actor from the early 1970s until his death. He was known for an often humorous style of original music that has elements of protest and social commentary. Born and raised in Maywood, Illinois, Prine learned to play the guitar at age 14. He attended classes at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. After serving in West Germany with the U.S. Army, he returned to Chicago in the late 1960s, where he worked as a mailman, writing and singing songs first as a hobby and then as a club performer. A member of Chicago's folk revival, a laudatory review by critic Roger Ebert built Prine's popularity. Singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson heard Prine at Steve Goodman's insistence, and Kristofferson invited Prine to be his opening act, leading to Prine's eponymous debut album with Atlantic Rec ...

Glad Music
''Glad Music'' is the sixth vinyl record album by American multi-instrumentalist R. Stevie Moore (RSM). It was the second of four RSM albums released by New Rose Records in Paris. ''Glad Music'' differed from most Moore record albums by being almost exclusively recorded in a professional 8- and 16-track studio. The record sleeve's art design mimics the UK version of the Beatles' 1964 soundtrack album '' A Hard Day's Night''. The title "Glad Music" was a nod to the music publishing company of the same name. Earlier recordings of some of the songs had appeared on other albums, such as 1978's '' Delicate Tension''. " Why Should I Love You?", was later covered by the English indie rock band the Vaccines and released as a single. "Along Comes Mary" was originally recorded by the Association The Association is an American sunshine pop band from California. During the late 1960s, the band had numerous hits at or near the top of the ''Billboard'' charts (including " Windy", " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
You Lay So Easy On My Mind
''You Lay So Easy on My Mind'' is the thirty-fourth studio album by American pop singer Andy Williams, released in November 1974 by Columbia Records. The idea for this LP was mentioned in an interview with Williams in the November 3, 1973, issue of ''Billboard'' magazine that emphasized his desire to move away from recording albums of Easy Listening covers of hits by other artists, noting that he was "planning an album to be cut in Nashville with Columbia's high-flying country-pop producer, Billy Sherrill." The article coincided with the release of his first attempt to shift directions, ''Solitaire'', which performed poorly. A return to the Easy Listening hits formula, ''The Way We Were'', followed in the spring of 1974 but failed to even chart, so this next attempt to eschew soft rock songs leaned heavily on Country hits. The album made its first appearance on the ''Billboard'' Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated December 28, 1974, and remained there for four weeks, peaki ...
