G Clefs, Yed Newman, Jenny Wolfe And The Pack
This week, just a couple of uploads to the color radio pages. The G Clefs second and final release on the Regina label, Angel Listen To Me / Nobody But Betty, from 1964, is on my G Clefs page. It is nothing like their original hits for Pilgrim, but the G Clefs evolved as time went on, and continued to try and make music that was current with the times. Their last recordings were done in 1966.
.
Also added was the 1980's LP that Ted Newman recorded on the Continent label called I've Been To Town. You can hear some of Ted's current work on CDBaby. He is another artist that has evolved in a completely different direction than what he started out playing. His current folk/cowboy/country recordings are quite good, and deserve a wider audience.
.
Speaking of new music, I had a CD given to me at the radio station that is amazing. It's a new group that is singing some old songs, along with a few new ones. It's basically a rock and roll album, but is quite good. When I read the liner notes and found out they were all 13- 16 years old, I was amazed! The female lead is on the lower end of the age scale, and belts out the best female led version of Shakin All Over, that I have ever heard. The name of the group is called Jenny Wolfe And The Pack. You can hear clips of a few songs at their website. Check out room 51, too. That is a band that needs some exposure.
.
By now you probably saw the report concerning the woman that was found guilty of illegal downloads. She was using kazaa, the file sharing program, and got popped for 220K. One of the reports I read mentioned she could have settled out of court for around 5K, but refused. I doubt this really puts a damper on the illegal downloads, but It might make people think a little harder about using some of the file sharing programs to do it. Here is one of many articles that have covered the event.
