Anna Ternheim - The Longer The Waiting, The Sweeter The Kiss

 

Anna Ternheim has just released his fourth album "The Night Visitor", an album that she recorded in Nashville with Matt Sweeney, Dave Ferguson and Cowboy Jack Clement who together have impressive musical pedigree.

Anna is a lady who for some reason I like very much, that she developed makes her feel very fresh each time a new album coming.

In recent years, Anna lived in the U.S. and you can hear right away that there has been a change in her music. She has matured, received new inspiration, new power. The music has become more sophisticated, without losing its simplicity and the lyrics are beautiful.

The album in its entirety is an incredibly intimate and beautiful album.

Today's tune "The longer the waiting / The sweeter the kiss." It has previously been recorded by American country singer Josh Turner, but in Anna's album has become a awesome beautiful duet between her and Dave Fergusson, who produced the record.

Lars Winnerbäck - Från Kylan In I Värmen

 

Last Sunday, for exactly one week ago made Lars Winnerbäck his last stop on his Scandinavian tour, four sold-out nights at the Circus's a nice end to a totally sold out tour, you can just clap your hands and say congratulations, this is probably what the Swedish people keeps closest to their hearts when it comes to music. What can I say about this, yes one, I mean only one trailer, not the Winnerbäck you're used to, but it is enough if you drive a less austere tour. The set was clean, neat and simple. Unfortunately, I was not with my camera, so I do not have much to offer in terms of images. Thought actually skip this report completely, but a completely sold out tour, I just can't ignore.

I can take this opportunity to mention that the recently released album "Med solen i ögonen", "Kom", "Singel", "Söndermarken","Vatten under broarna", "Daugava", "Tänk om jag ångrar mig och sen ångrar mig igen" on vinyl Each album will be released in 1000 numbered copies All music are remastered to best fit the vinyl format.

Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up

 

There are probably about three thousand singer/songwriters to the dozen and the part of the dozen who have something worthwhile to say can start being counted in decimals. But in the tenths can you find actually gold nuggets that one would be a fool not to take advantage of. One of them is Ben Howard, a twenty-something guy from the southwest corner of the British Isles that has everything one could wish of a lonely man with a guitar. He possesses an expression and a sense that few others today and together with an unparalleled sense of how to build melodies, Howard has created something that is so bloody good.

Ben was raised by musical parents who exposed him to lots of their favourite records from singer-songwriter artists from the 1960s and 1970s, such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, which were a big influence on him. It is obvious that he lands in the middle of the two. "Every Kingdom" is the name of the upcoming debut album, will be released through on the 3rd October and the new single "Keep Your Head Up" sticks with everything you'd associate with beauty and deadly jump. The ten-track album was produced by his band’s bassist and drummer Chris Bond in their converted barn studio in Devon. It follows the release of his 'Old Pine' EP in the Spring and Ben’s debut single, 'The Wolves'.

Ben Howard has chosen to visit Sweden for a gig at Kägelbanan in Stockholm 25 November. Make sure you are there and nowhere else.

Todays tune "Keep Your Head Up", was released as a single on 28 August 2011. The tune was written by Ben Howard and produced by Chris Bond.

Patti Smith - Smells Like Teen Spirit

 

Patti Smith and US string group Kronos Quartet have received the 2011 Polar Music Prize.

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented both artists with their one million Swedish kronor (150752.25 USD) prize at the ceremony in Stockholm yesterday (August 30).

The Polar Prize, the highest award in Swedish music, is usually shared by a pop artist and a classical musician.

Official announcement of the Polar Music Prize 2011 - Patti Smith



Smith, generally considered the godmother of punk, thanked her fans and band members, said she was "humbled and inspired" to receive the prize. She also appealed for the audience to "turn their hearts, minds and resources" to the famine in Africa.

San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet incorporate avant-garde rock and elements of world music into their sound. Smith, meanwhile, describes her music - including the landmark album 'Horses' - as "three chord rock merged with the power of the word". Her best-known song is perhaps 'Because The Night', co-written by Bruce Springsteen.

The Polar Music Prize was founded by Stig Anderson, the manager of Swedish pop group ABBA, in 1989.

It is awarded to individuals, groups or institutions in recognition of exceptional achievements in the creation and advancement of music. Last year's prize was shared by Ennio Morricone and Bjork.

Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Stevie Wonder are among past winners.

Todays tune "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (A cover of Nirvana) is taken from the album "Twelve", released April 17, 2007. As the title suggests, the album contains twelve tracks, all of which are cover versions. The Tune also includes in Pattis latest release "Outside Society" that was released a few days ago, Aug 23 to be more precise.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Patti Smith raises the curtain on "Outside Society", a new collection of her signature songs on the Arista and Columbia labels. The landmark 18-song release marks the first single-CD collection to span Patti's entire body of recorded work. The chronologically arranged tracks move from 1975 (her debut album, Horses, with "Gloria" and "Free Money") through 2007 (Twelve, with her cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"). Also released on vinyl as a double-LP set, "Outside Society" is available everywhere.

The music on "Outside Society" is newly remastered by award-winning engineer Greg Calbi and Patti Smith band member Tony Shanahan. The CD booklet will feature brief recollections of each song written by Patti, who personally supervised the choices.

Of "Because The Night," for example, Patti writes: "Bruce Springsteen gave me a great gift in allowing me to lend verses to his beautifully constructed anthem. My contribution was written for my future husband, Fred 'Sonic' Smith. Though we have performed it hundreds of times, the strong response it draws always makes it fresh and exciting to sing."

This evening she and her band will perform at Stockholms Konserthus, im sure it will be an fantastic evening. Doors at 19:30 in the Big Hall.

Patti Smith visits Ljusgården on Sept. 1 at. 12:30 to exclusively in Sweden sign hers acclaimed and award-winning autobiography, Just Kids, and her new compilation album Outside Society.

Just Kids is a vivid portrayal and a unique chronicle of New York's diverse cultural scene in the early '70s, with artists like Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Andy Warhol and Jimi Hendrix who all give their impressions of the story.

Patti Smith opens in a personal way up a window into her life as a young, struggling artist, and depicts a beautiful way of his friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe.

The book and the compilation album will be on sale in Ljusgården.

Tom Waits - Bad As Me

Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has visited Tune Of The Day on several occasions. In 2011, Waits was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Waits currently lives in Sonoma County, California with his wife, Kathleen Brennan, and three children.

"Bad as Me" is the upcoming seventeenth studio album, due to be released on October 25, 2011 by ANTI- Records. The album is known to have been recorded as early as February 2011 and was officially announced for release on August 23, 2011 on Waits' official web site and various social media networks. On the same day, the title track, "Bad as Me," was released as the album's first single on iTunes.

The album is also Waits' first album consisting completely of new material in seven years since Real Gone (2004). Waits' label, ANTI-, recently agreed on a distribution deal with Warner Music Group allowing them to release the album internationally. This marks Waits' first release through the Warner organisation since Heartattack and Vine (1980).

Following an annoucement by Waits on his official web site on August 16, 2011 stating that he "will set the record straight," the artwork, track listing, song length and an audio clip of "Bad as Me" were released on Amazon and musicME. According to Waits, in a YouTube video announcing the release of Bad as Me, the leak of information "spoiled the surprise" of his announcement as the single was "going to go out everywhere, into the blood stream." The previous June, Waits posted a picture of a chalkboard, with the lyrics to the song's chorus, on his official web site and social media pages. The song is also the eight track on Bad as Me, due to be released on October 25, 2011.

 

 

Todays tune "Bad as Me" is a song written collectively by Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan. Written and recorded during the sessions for his upcoming studio album of the same name, the song was released as Waits' seventeenth single on August 23, 2011 and was the first new studio material by Waits in seven years, since Real Gone (2004) "Bad As Me" is a raw noisy, bluesy piece, but in a characteristic and typical way and obviously unhinged. The song swings and I like this, it will be incredibly exciting to hear the whole album.





The album is due to be released worldwide on October 25, 2011 in three formats: a digipak CD version with a 32-page booklet and free digital download in FLAC, AAC or MP3; a deluxe edition two-CD version with 40-page booklet and free digital download; and a 180 gram LP and CD with a lyric sheet and free digital download. A sole digital download of the album is also available for pre-order on iTunes
Pre-order at Tom Waits Store.

Sam Roberts - Bridge To Nowhere

Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, whose 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition, became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Todays tune "Bridge To Nowhere" is taken from the second album "Chemical City", released in April, 2006.

"Another day breaks and the last one's gone. You dig deep just to carry on. Your debt's paid off but it don't feel gone. So you slip out the back and you're moving on"

The video itself is done in an interesting style, being solely in black and white and relying on computer animation for its setting. The video begins with Sam Roberts waking up in bed with a woman (who would appear to be his wife) and then following...hmz, well watch it :)
