Hank Williams: Gospel KeepsakesHank Williams: The Unreleased Recordings Gospel Keepsakes Streets 4/7/09

By all accounts, Hank Williams was a profoundly spiritual man who felt the pain of doing wrong. He channeled some of the pain that comes from knowing right and doing right into one of the most popular hymns of the twentieth century: I Saw the Light.

  But commercial pressures meant that Williams rarely recorded gospelmusic for his releases; however, when he made his recordings for theMother's Best Flour shows he made sure that religious music was well represented. There were old time jubilee “shouts,” formal hymns, recitations, African American gospel songs and southern quartet music. All of those styles are represented on Gospel Keepsakes. It's a very rich assortment that captures Hank Williams at his most impassioned.

This 15-track CD includes a never-before-released version of Williams' classic I Saw the Light, as well as a previously unreleased version of the southern gospel classic Thirty Pieces of Silver. Some other songs include Farther Along, as well as standards like Precious Lord Take My Hand, When God Dips His Love in My Heart, Old Country Church and Drifting Too Far From the Shore.

The New York Times says — “And his voice! These recordings get the fullness and breadth of it, the cool, plummy croon turning to a hotlaser through some trick of throat and nose. Truly one of the best records ever.”

Adam Hood: Different GrooveAdam Hood: Different GrooveStreets 5/5/09

The American South has a long history of serving as a fertile breeding ground for singer/songwriters who instinctively meld the various musical elements of their environs. Alabama native Adam Hood carries on that tradition. Like a really good gumbo, there are a lot of subtle flavors mixing together in his personal brand of Southern music – blues, folk, country, rock – all wrapped around lyrics that sound too insightful for someone his age.

“DIFFERENT GROOVE” marks Hood’s first full studio album. A true collaborative effort, Hood found a musical kinship with Grammy Award-winning producer/guitarist Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam, Roy Orbison, k.d.lang, Sara Evans, Buck Owens, Flaco Jimenez, Michelle Shocked) and entrusted him to help capture the spontaneity and compelling nature of his music within the parameters of a recording studio.

In the end, they decided the only way to accomplish this was to cut the basic rhythm tracks live, pulling together some of the most soulful roots players in Los Angeles. Starting with this musical “roux,” Pete went on to add further seasoning to get everything just right. The results are obvious – this is a “deep” and riveting work, harkening back to the raw musicality of early recordings by Bob Dylan, The Band, and even Al Green.

Hood has already built a strong following by touring nearly 300 days a year. Recently, he has been a regular opening act across the country for the legendary Leon Russell. He has also opened shows for such artists as Pat Green, Todd Snider, Delbert McClinton, Dave Alvin, Ian Moore, and Shelby Lynne, among many others

Don Gibson, Faron Young and Conway Twitty.

Let Freedom Sing: How Music Shaped the Civil Rights MovementLet Freedom Sing: How Music Shaped the Civil

Rights Movement (DVD) Streets 5/5/09

They raised their voices in song against inequality and racism.

They gave the Civil Rights movement its anthems and its soul.

They were the singers and songwriters who fought for change and

gave us songs like Blowin’ in the Wind, Oh Freedom, People Get

Ready, Respect, and Fight the Power. Those songs and many

others are at the core of this exclusive, feature-length movie edition

of LET FREEDOM SING—How Music Inspired the Civil Rights

Movement.

Hosted by Louis Gossett Jr. these are dramatic first-person accounts by

Mississippi Freedom Riders who sang to give themselves courage in the face

of grave danger. There are the songs from the 1963 March on Washington

when Dr. Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. And there

are award-winning artists and musicians whose songs inspired a generation to

take up the struggle for civil rights and human rights throughout America and

the world.

LET FREEDOM SING retells one of the greatest stories in American history.

Billie Holiday’s song about lynching, Strange Fruit, and the scalding

bitterness of Big Bill Broonzy’s When Do I Get to Be Called a Man? take us

back to the era of brutally enforced segregation. But the story sweeps us to the

heart of the movement in the 1960s and explores its continuing impact on

music, politics, and culture in the decades that followed. With never-before-

seen historic footage and remarkable new interviews with Gladys Knight,

Ruby Dee, Jimmy Carter, Chuck D., Andrew Young, and Pete Seeger, among

many others.
