American Songwriter Premiers Riley Etheridge, Jr’s New Single and Video for “Another Time, Another Place

New Album The Straight and Narrow Way

Out Now - via Rock Ridge Music

  

Touring with LEON RUSSELL April – May

Southern bred and now NY-based Riley Etheridge, Jr. is thrilled to partner with revered music journal AMERICAN SONGWRITER to premiere the video for his new single “Another Time, Another Place,” which features a haunting vocal duet with Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek. The track perfectly blends the heartache of a love affair that for a myriad of reasons cannot be fulfilled, and the longing of what could have been if only the timing were right. A universal theme no doubt, but in Riley's talented hands sounds both heartbreakingly honest - yet hopeful - that someday.…

Guest musician, and roots rock icon, drummer Jim Keltner summed up the album perfectly when he described it as sounding like, “Steely Dan lost on a bender over a long weekend in New Orleans.”

In addition to the honor of joining hero and rock ’n’ roll legend LEON RUSSELL on tour this April, Riley had his album, The Straight and Narrow Way, tapped by the caffeinated tastemakers at Starbucks Coffee House to be added into heavy in-store rotation. The single has also been chosen for the current installment of Crate & Barrel “Get The Download” offer. His song “Another Time, Another Place,” is available via free download from Crate & Barrel; the offer will be presented on in-store cards later this spring (while supplies last) as well as online at the Crate & Barrel website and in Crate & Barrel catalogs.  The promotion runs through June of this year.

The Straight And Narrow Way was born from freewheeling recording sessions in Los Angeles, Nashville, and New Orleans. Its loose and vibey feel is a testament to the folks Etheridge had the good taste to invite to the party.  The album features impressive collaborators, special guests such as: the aforementioned Watkins, Joe Sample vocalist Erica Falls, former Allman Brother Johnny Neel, Dan Dugmore (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor), and legendary drummer Jim Keltner  (Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan, Elvis, John Lennon).

Landslide Records announces Tinsley Ellis's next release "Midnight Blue" January 14, 2014

 Landslide Records is proud and excited to announce its next release: MIDNIGHT BLUE, an all-new set of original blues rock from guitar master, Tinsley Ellis.

Produced by Ellis, the album marks the second release from his recently established label, Heartfixer Music.  A hardworking veteran of numerous U.S. and international tours, Ellis picked up more new fans through his well-received all-instrumental album, GET IT!, plus appearances on 2013’s critically praised BLUES AT THE CROSSROADS 2 tours with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, James Cotton, and Jody Williams.  He boasts countless great reviews, among them a rave from ROLLING STONE which said:   "Feral blues guitar...he achieves pyrotechnics that rival early Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.”  A notable songwriter, Ellis’ compositions include “A Quitter Never Wins,” a version of which by Jonny Lang went multi-platinum.  Featuring some of Ellis’ finest vocal stylings yet, MIDNIGHT BLUE  includes wide ranging material that moves effortlessly from the powerful opening track, “If The River Keeps Rising,”  through the soul laden groove of “Surrender,” the rollicking Louisiana rocker “It’s Not Funny,” and a poignant, Ray Charles influenced slow blues, “See No Harm.”   Additional musicians include Nashville keyboard whiz Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton, Brian Setzer), bassist Ted Pecchio (Tedeschi/Trucks Band), and drummer Lynn Williams (Delbert McClinton).  Beginning in January Ellis will perform a full slate of festival, theater and club bookings nationwide throughout the year.

BIO

Singer songwriter Luke Pilgrim has become one of the most watched, young artists to emerge out of Atlanta in years. Growing up in Cleveland, a small town in the mountains of North Georgia, and influenced by a blend of country and southern rock, Pilgrim’s love for music began at a very early age. Pilgrim began sitting in with bands at clubs as an eleven year old kid, and left older musicians in awe as he ripped out lead guitar riffs from music greats Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and Tom Petty, to name a few. While constantly striving to perfect his musicianship, Pilgrim also began honing his songwriting and singing skills. By the age of fifteen, he had completed writing, recording, and producing his first full-length album with the band Last November. Pilgrim toured extensively with Last November for the better part of a decade. (Keep in mind the band was formed in high school.)

In late 2010, Pilgrim decided to get back to his country roots, heading to the legendary Southern Tracks Studios in Atlanta to record his first album under his birth name, working alongside lifelong friend mentor Rodney Mills (Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, ARS). Pilgrim shares; "I have always loved country music. It’s been a big part of my life growing up in the hills of North Georgia. The music on this album is perfect for storyteller lyrics, which always interested me the most about songwriting. If I can write something that really speaks to someone and affects their life, then that is what this is all about." Molding the song around the lyrics, Pilgrim brings real emotions to the table that listeners of all ages can identify with.
