Joe is currently out on the road with Dan Fogelberg. Here is an update on the whereabouts of Joe Vitale + Joe Vitale jr. * * * Joe Vitale and Joe Vitale Jr. recently released a "looping" cd Check HERE for info to purchase. Unconventional Percussion Loops Picture two grown men spending countless hours pounding away at a pile of worthless junk. Then, picture yourself paying good money to acquire hundreds of little snippets of what this might sound like. Strange? Maybe at first glance, but everything becomes clear when you discover that the men are superstar percussionist Joe Vitale and producer Joe Vitale Jr. The sounds are from Junkyard Rhythms, the Vitales' second Loops for ACID™ loop library, and the buyers of this noise are part of the worldwide network of renegade music makers who use Sonic Foundry ACID™ to blaze new trails in modern music. After building Latin Percussion, the Vitales momentarily ran out of things to hit. So off to the junkyard they went, in search of chance metallic objects that yield maximum klang. What they found will amaze you! So, if you need some percussion that'll make people say, "What the heck was that!?" then look no further than Junkyard Percussion ­ because one man's trash is another man's drum kit. 868 (470MB) original, license-free loops. * * * They previously released this Latin percussion looping cd. Check here to purchase Latin Percussion is a collection of sizzling Latin rhythms from straightforward to exotic. Whether it's a simple shaker, hypnotic clave, driving conga, or intense ensemble, these meticulously tight and dynamic performances will lend movement and energy to any track. Turn up the heat on your next audio masterpiece. 600 (452MB) original, license-free loops. Thanks to Phil Varriale *item added to site 06/12/02 @ 11:52am eastern* From the ARTEMIS RECORDS SITE Graham Nash's latest record 'Songs for Survivors' will be in stores July 30th. Excerpt from the site - info @ the upcoming STEREO release of Songs for Survivors, as well as info @ his coming book From Eye to Eye 2002 also marks the release of his first solo album project in over a decade, Songs For Survivors, in both 5.1 (on DTS Entertainment) and stereo (on Artemis Records) mixes. To make the record, Graham enlisted the help of longtime pal and musical cohort Russell Kunkel, and Russ' son Nathaniel, as co-producers. Recorded and mixed in California and Hawaii from late 2000 into 2001, the album's tracks, says Nash, "are songs that came about three days before we started, and songs that I'd been living with for twenty years." Together, they are an expression of a mature artist in full command of his powers, and Graham affirms that, "It was incredibly enjoyable just being an artist instead of being one of the guys who puts it all together. All I wanted to do was sing my songs, and the recording experience was one of the most rewarding of my life." Graham's and Russ' association, both personal and professional, dates back to the days of the first Crosby and Nash album in 1972, making Songs For Survivors an endeavor richened by the fabric of many decades of friendship. Recently, Graham, Russ and Nathaniel also co-produced "Lotta Love," an all-star, two-night concert event in tribute to Russ' late wife, singer Nicolette Larson, with proceeds benefiting pediatric facilities at UCLA Medical Center. Also upcoming is the publication of From Eye To Eye, a deluxe volume-printed by Los Angeles' revered Gardner Press-of more than 150 of Nash's black & white photographs. In putting the book together, Graham went through more than 20,000 images shot over the past four decades, and an upcoming show is planned to coincide with the book's release. Thanks to Steven T. *item added to site 06/11/02 @ 2:01pm eastern* Billboard Issue June 8th, 2002 AYP currently sits @ #133 in the top 200 It has been on the charts for 7 weeks. It's peak position was #10. *item added to site 06/08/02 @ 12:14pm eastern* From the Phil Lesh RELIX cover article of June/July 2002 Q: Did you talk to David Crosby while you were sick? A: Oh, yeah! As soon as he heard I was having liver problems, he was right there. He was a brick, and Stanley Mouse, too. Both of those guys have had liver transplants and they were like pillars for me. In fact, David and I compare scars. I think mine is prettier. ! *item added to site 06/08/02 @ 11:11am eastern* It amazes me that it takes a UK publication to actually “GET IT.” No disrespect to Mojo, which I know is a fine, fine publication; but in the US media - (the general show reviews were positive,) the writers were not very csny nor musically savy shall we say. Mojo has balls.. thanks to Mojo and the author of the review Mr Matthew Greenwald. Oh and another reason you should seek this issue out is that they give you a CD with the magazine called "The Score," which I am listening to as I type this. VERY COOL... it is made up of 20 'ultra cool soundtracks'. Now playing: Midnight Cowboy. The CSNY review can be found on page 150 in the Filter Section Here is an excerpt: CSNY @ Los Angeles Staples Center CSNY Finally live up to their potential with help from Booker T, Steve Potts, and Duck Dunn. “There is, believe it or not, a very real place called The Perfect World. It doesn’t happen often and, like everything, it’s always temporary. But for about three hours at the Los Angeles Staples Centre, CSNY take the audience into this nebulous realm. It takes a little while, but about 20 minutes into the set, Graham Nash’s, “I Used to be a King,” kicks in with its elongated hard rock waltz and the band play as one. With Stephen Stills and Neil Young dancing off one another in an incredible electric guitar duet, (not dual) and the whole group blending for possibly the finest four-part harmony vocal to come out of this legendary quartet, they are indeed, perfect.”..... RE: Almost Cut My Hair - “Crosby belting out an almost gospel/blues vocal above and around Stills and Young apocalyptic fretwork.” “Stills steals the second part of the show with an amazing reading of Booker T’s - “Old Man Trouble,” pulverising the song with a bluesy vocal on a level with Joe Cocker or Ray Charles.”..... AMEN - get the mag and read the whole review... It’s worth it... *item added to site 06/06/02 @ 4pm eastern* Bonnie Raitt cover article in the July / August 2002 issue of My Generation Magazine In it she discusses her work with The Guacamole Fund. "Much of Raitt's political work is in tandem with The Guacamole Fund, a non-profit group based in Los Angeles that organizes benefits for various social causes. 'Bonnie started working with us in 1975,' says Tom Campbell, who launched the fund in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1974. 'She's probably participated in close to 350 events for us, and she constantly calling and saying, I want to help this organization and this is when I'm free to do it.' She works incredibly hard for the things she believes in." *item added to site 06/06/02 @ 4pm eastern* CSNY review of the MSG shows in the new issue of RELIX Review can be found on page 14-15 Review by Jim Fahey "Later, Madison Square erupted when the quartet sang, 'And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.' CSNY are still willing, ready and able to carry on." *item added to site 06/06/02 @ 4pm eastern* A stellar, stellar review of CSNY 2002 in the current issue of MOJO. Thanks to Sir Paul Higham for passing that one along a few weeks ago. Mojo hits the newstands here later in the USA, than in the UK. Scroll above for more on this.
