NEW RELEASES - THE RIDES, STEVE DALACHINSKY / JOELLE LEANDRE, NANA, DORI & DANILO CAYMMI

THE RIDES - CAN'T GET ENOUGH

The Rides, the new blues-rock supergroup featuring legendary songwriter Stephen Stills, guitar slinger Kenny Wayne Shepherd and venerable Electric Flag keyboardist Barry Goldberg, are celebrating their stellar first week chart debut @ #42 of their album "Can’t Get Enough" on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The album is also dominating several blues charts with a #2 debuts on Billboard and Amazon's blues charts and #1 at iTunes. They have built an amazing buzz with phenomenal radio support, rave reviews, exclusive premieres and national touring.  Says American Songwriter Magazine: "The unbridled energy that shoots out of this live in-studio recording…is obvious from the opening swampy riff." which The multi-generational outfit's debut album, "Can't Get Enough"  on CD, digital, and vinyl was released August 27 on 429 Records.  Featuring four co-written originals, a handful of covers, and a vintage, previously unrecorded Stills gem, Can't Get Enough was inspired by—and is an homage to—the now-classic 1968 album Super Session, which featured Stills on guitar on one side, and the late Mike Bloomfield on the other (Bloomfield had founded Electric Flag with Goldberg, who also played on Super Session, as did Blood, Sweat & Tears keyboardist Al Kooper). The Rides "Can't Get Enough" landing at #42 is 429 Records third Billboard Top 200 debut release this year. It follows the smash success of Boz Scaggs' "Memphis" and LL Cool J's "Authentic."  

STEVE DALACHINSKY / JOELLE LEANDRE - THE BILL HAS BEEN PAID

A strong pairing of the voice of Steve Dalachinsky and bass of Joelle Leandre – laid out here in a spare setting that may well make the album one of Steve's best so far! Dalachinsky is way more than just your regular jazz singer – more of a writer and a speaker, yet still with a sense of timing that makes his place in the recording studio really necessary – as his words really have a sense of illumination on the space of a record, one that takes them way past their presence on a page! Steve's presentation of the words is never overdone, and makes for a great pairing with Leandre's always-sensitive work on bass – and the set features a few instrumental passages that have Joelle stepping out on her own. Titles include "Vocalise", "Interlude 1", "Son Of The Sun", "Sweet & Low", and "Interlude 3".  ~ Dusty Groove

NANA, DORI & DANILO CAYMMI - CAYMMI 

The Caymmis do a great job of summing up their family legacy here – working on a set of tunes mostly written by the elder Dorival Caymmi, but given a set of youthful arrangements by Dori Caymmi – and sung beautifully by all three members of the family! Vocals alternate nicely – so that Nana's dusky style is in the lead at some times, Danilo's jazzier approach dominates at others, and Dori's soulful sound holds the whole thing together. Dori produced and arranged the set, and also plays acoustic guitar – and titles include "Retirantes", "Acaca", "Cantiga De Cego", "Fiz Uma Fiagem", "Roda Piao", "Historia Pro Sinhozinho", "Caminhos Do Mar", and a few "pot pourri" tracks".  ~ Dusty Groove
