GATOR BEAT	LET'S DANCE	CD: $12.75 (US) - NEW ($11.47 with *discount)	GLOBE RECORDS	2010
new orleans, zydeco, cajun: Gator Beat decided to have some fun. They wrote three songs, including the title track, "Let's Dance". Gator Beat fans will immediately recognize the sound which distinguishes this band from all the others. It's got that good time vibe throughout and the players keep the energy going, driven by Beau Bradbury's "on top of his game" drumming. David Scott, longtime GB sax man, hits his stride and blows the lid off Clifton Chenier's "Ride 'Em Cowboy". Willard Blackwell digs deep and comes up with his best vocals to date, crooning on GB original "Just An Angel" and delivering a knockout punch on Jon Cleary's "C'mon Second Line". The band is running on all cylinders on USS Zydecoldsmobile with guitar man Randy Quan in the driver's seat. It closes out with Randy's original cut which is not only beautiful and groovy, it has Gator Beat written all over it. Cutting a new CD takes what is already there and bumps it up a notch. This time, it was a big bump.

WINSTON MONTGOMERY	MOZART ON THE ROAD	CD: $13.00 (US) - NEW ($11.70 with *discount)	SEYMOUR STREET RECORDS	2008
Rock, Americana, Folk: Produced by Austin de Lone, Winston's newly released CD, "Mozart on the Road", is a melodic, literate and often humorous amalgam of folk, country and rock with a little bit of Mozart thrown in for seasoning. "Mozart on the Road" is a richer and more polished effort than his first CD, "Child is Father to the Man". It starts off with a new version of "I Can't Stick Around to Take the Fall" (an outlaw song with a postgraduate degree) makes stops at an anti-war hootenanny and the 60's psychedelic Haight-Ashbury, and concludes with "Mozart on the Road", an epic and comically surreal retelling of the young Mozart's peregrinations through Europe in 1762, all to a driving rock beat.Born in New York State an hour's drive north of New York City, Winston Montgomery made the pilgrimage to San Francisco during the summer after the "Summer of Love" and has never left "the cool grey city of love". He made his living for 25 years renovating houses, among them many of the multi-hued Victorian edifices that San Francisco is famous for. After a stint of singing lead in a band and writing songs 30 years ago he has started writing again, playing at clubs with his four piece band, The Tall Boys.

MOONLIGHTERS	THE MISSING MOONLIGHTERS - LIVE / STUDIO CLOSET TAPES	2-CD: $13.50 (US) - NEW ($12.15 with *discount)	GLOBE RECORDS	2008
rock, pop, rockabilly, rhythm & western, western swing, roots: 2-CD set ($17.98 list). All previously unreleased tracks from the band that was led by Bill Kirchen and "moonlighted" from Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen... later to become his backing group. This release presents for the first time many popular mainstays of the live shows as well as some seldom heard, experimental studio recordings. These songs represent the early "Rhythm & Western" sound of the group as well as the later four-man, skinny-tie, rock/pop outfit. These recordings have a live-ness and songwriting that's missing from the two previous releases. Featuring Bill Kirchen, Tony Johnson, Richard Casanova (George Strait), Steve Mackay (Iggy Pop), Steve Fishell (Emmy Lou Harris), Don Kennedy, Rick Higginbotham, Tim Eschliman (Rhythmtown-Jive), Austin de Lone (Eggs Over Easy) with special guests Mark Karan (Ratdog) and James Henry. The live CD includes essential tunes that were staples of the band's live shows but didn't appear on the 2 previously existing releases, like Carl Perkins' "Boppin' the Blues," a few Rockpile numbers and the bands traditional rave-up set-closer, Warren Smith's "Ubangi Stomp." 3 songs from the early "Rhythm & Western" days of the band are included: the Cajun fiddling of "Mississippi Sawyer," "Big Mamou" which featured the 3-man section of fiddle, tenor sax & pedal steel and the sassy "Sittin' On Top Of The World," which adds to that section Bill Kirchen's wild trombone. Live recordings are also from Keystone Palo Alto, The Saddlerack (KFAT Fat-Fry), Keystone Berkeley, and Rohan's Rockpile. The studio CD, on the other hand, brings to light a more experimental side of the band. Three of the tracks were recorded live to 4-track in an afternoon as a pre-production session at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco and when heard by Austin's friend Nick Lowe, led to the arrangements for the recording of the Moonlighter's "Rush Hour" album, which Nick produced in London. Many of the other tracks are song demos of originals by drummer Tony Johnson or bassist Tim Eschliman, and several of those were recorded at Tim and Austin de Lone's at-the-time home studio, the earliest iteration of Globe Studios. Although not all of these recordings were Moonlighter projects per se, they happened to have been recorded by the band members and in some cases led to additions to the band's set lists. Studio recordings are also from Sonoma Recorders and Prairie Sun. Mastered by Fred Catero, Tim Eschliman and Tony Johnson. Packaged in all-recyclable mini-double jacket format.
