Something bigger than love, a soulfulness, or a soul seeking fullness. In the songs, five co-written alongside longtime friend and musical hero Jolie Holland and one set to the words of Judee Sill’s final journal entry, love often assumes a natural form, sometimes it becomes artificial, sometimes cosmic. It is a consciousness here, interacting with the lovers, watching them sometimes, becoming them sometimes. Yet romance is not the only form of love \u003cem\u003eHaunted Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e explores. The epic ‘Lullabies’ examines the inexhaustible connection between mother and son; a platonic bond appears in ‘Where you’re coming from’; and grief leads to communion with the dead in ‘Lagrimas’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe songs were written in mountains; by cold springs in the Serra da Estrela of Portugal, on the submerged volcano of Milos in the Cyclades, Valle Onsernone in the Swiss Alps (where the cover photo was taken), and the Santa Monica range where Buck now calls home - all where his new love was born. “Love inhabits your environment, animates the inanimate, charging everything around you with a sense of meaning,” Meek says.

There’s me at 30, having kids, writing songs as though they were gravestone epitaphs, not yet understanding that nothing is so permanent and serious and that I needed to be gentler with my spirit.

It still took Dick eight years to get the band to agree to release the first volume of Dick’s Picks, and the second one didn’t come till two years later…but Dick’s persistence paid off with a series of live recordings that revolutionized the way bands approach archival material. Now, on the 30th anniversary of its release and the 50th anniversary of the show itself, we at Real Gone Music are proud to reissue Dick’s Picks Vol. 1, remastered for vinyl by Jeffrey Norman from the original analog tapes for the first time ever (the previous LP release was taken from digital files). Right off the bat it’s easy to understand why Dick chose this show; the version of “Here Comes Sunshine” that leads off disc one is pretty much universally considered the best ever, a piece of seamless and gently swinging ensemble work featuring lyrical Jerry Garcia guitar leads that distills the essence of the band’s mythos and appeal. Throw in a great rendition of the rarely-performed “Nobody’s Fault but Mine” that leads into a stellar 16-minute jam that flirts with a full-fledged “The Other One” but dances spacily away, and a moving “Stella Blue” before the “Around and Around” finale and you have another legendary night—in fact, the LAST night—from a great year (1973) of touring….and, as such, the perfect way to begin the long strange trip that is the Dick’s Picks series. Our release actually includes some material (featuring the long-lost Phil Lesh bass solo) that was left off previous iterations of this show, and, with lacquer cutting by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music and pressing on 180-gram black vinyl by Gotta Groove Records, the sound on this 4-LP boxed set—which, again, comes straight from the original analog tapes for the first time—is simply sublime.

Jackie Mittoo is one of the defining figureheads of reggae music! From forming The Skatalites, at age 15, alongside Don Drummond, Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook and others, to his work as writer, arranger, producer at Studio One records during the sixties, writing and playing for artists such as Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Marcia Griffiths and The Heptones (to name a few), to his career as a solo artist as well as leader of bands such as The Soul Brothers, Soul Vendors and The Sound Dimension, Jackie Mittoo is at the heart of reggae music. He was one of the instigators of Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae. In the seventies, DJ music and Dancehall were based upon classic rhythms of the sixties, many using the instrumental tracks that Jackie Mittoo created at Studio One at this time. This compilation features the work of Jackie Mittoo at Studio One. It features music recorded as a solo artist (as opposed to the numerous singers that he accompanied). Most of these are taken from his recordings in the mid-sixties where he was recording on an almost daily basis at Studio One's Brentford Road studios, developing the funky reggae sound that was his trademark. Jackie Mittoo is as much an icon of Reggae as he is to fans of Funk music. He is without doubt the funkiest keyboard player ever to come out of Jamaica!

Indeed, he ended up playing oud with everybody from the Grateful Dead to the Kronos Quartet to his one-time roommate Sandy Bull. But El Din’s gifts went beyond that of an oud virtuoso; he was also an accomplished singer and composer, and you will hear all of those talents on full display on this seminal album, released on Vanguard in 1965 soon after his star-making appearance at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival that attracted the attention of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Meditative, mesmerizing, and haunting, Al Oud features nine original compositions based on Nubian folk traditions; at first it’s the exotic sound of the oud that draws you in, but it’s the rhythmic pulse of the music and the expressive quality of El Din’s voice that keeps you riveted.

This deep sense of community and family flows throughout the project with the album's artwork designed by Kamasi Washington's sister, artist Amani Washington.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sounds of Crenshaw \/ Empire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45897392521503,"sku":null,"price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/4208754-2971421.jpg?v=1691088532"},{"product_id":"bruno-mars-24k-magic-lp","title":"Bruno Mars - 24K Magic LP","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 24K Magic is the third studio album by Bruno Mars, originally released in 2016.

Marking the 5 year anniversary since release, Freddie is back in print for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Empire \/ ESGN Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46057764782367,"sku":null,"price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/4228044-3014352.jpg?v=1691703527"},{"product_id":"the-front-bottoms-you-are-who-you-hang-out-with-lp","title":"The Front Bottoms - You Are Who You Hang Out With LP","description":"","brand":"Fueled By Ramen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058068312351,"sku":null,"price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/unnamed-e1689973030446.jpg?v=1691703999"},{"product_id":"new-york-dolls-dawn-of-the-dolls-lp","title":"New York Dolls - Dawn of the Dolls LP","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first ever studio recordings made by groundbreaking, gender-bending punk troop NY Dolls, recorded prior to their massively important 1973 debut album!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures original drummer Billy Murcia and production by famed punk\/new wave producer Marty Thau (The Ramones, Blondie, Suicide)! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe audio has been completely remastered making this the best sounding version of these recordings ever made available!\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Cleopatra Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058382229791,"sku":null,"price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/4213836-2987383.jpg?v=1691705369"},{"product_id":"alejandro-jodorowsky-the-holy-mountain-ost-2lp","title":"Alejandro Jodorowsky - The Holy Mountain OST 2LP","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Holy Mountain score is every bit hallucinatory as the visual imagery in the film.

Gibraltar Drakus is one of the most enduring and enigmatic of the artists who helped transform bikutsi into a beautifully endless fabric of triplet rhythms that eventually reached ears around the world. Following the advent of Cameroon Radio Television in 1987, bikutsi began to supplant makossa and soukous for domination of the local airwaves and the attention of cosmopolitan, thrill-seeking residents of Cameroon's capital Yaoundé and beyond. Biktusi perfectly fused Beti traditional music and increasingly electronic, highly rhythmic guitar-based bikutsi. Mimicking the sound of village-based xylophone music by rigging a mute to electric guitar strings, bikutsi artists provided a relentlessly energetic dance format for those with a taste for music steeped in their hometown sensibility (countering the popular makossa that many felt sounded less indigenous).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy the early 1990's, Les Tetes Brûlées were indisputably the most famous and influential artists in bikutsi, due in part to the innovations of their incendiary guitarist Théodore Zanzibar Epeme. Following their first European tour in 1987, the band blew up internationally but Zanzibar tragically, and mysteriously, passed away, which nearly brought an end to the band completely. In hindsight, the consensus among most Cameroonians is Zanzibar's contributions to biktusi were transformational and immeasurable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwept up in all this was Gibraltar Drakus, who was the youngest member of Les Têtes Brûlées and was also the protégé of his biggest supporter, Zanzibar. So it was fitting that he dedicate his 1989 debut to their groundbreaking late guitarist who had meant so much to him. Drakus literally exploded from his first album Hommage A Zanzibar (1989), which sold over 100,000 copies despite rampant piracy. For the recording, Drakus made sure he engaged prolific producer Mystic Jim to record and mix the album. The innovation musically rests both within the guitar interplay and the discipline in the orchestration, which result in a mind-bending clockwork of cross-rhythmic harmony. He aimed for the sound to exist somewhere between the sensibilities of the famous Les Veterans, Zanzibar and Messi Martin. He had worked a lot of Zanzibar and Messi Martin, both of whom allowed him to fully immerse himself in bikutsi and Beti music. \"Zanzibar is the one who taught me how to compose a song, and I learned a lot from Zanzibar musically.

The stirring and ethereal sounds of Les Imprimés have been making fans of anyone who hears them since their first 7\" single hit the speakers. Morten Martens is the man behind the band. Born, raised, and working in Kristiansand, Norway, he keeps a low profile while making his heartfelt, highly infectious, and unique music. This album is a long time coming for Martens and it is sure to make him a name to be reckoned with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first thing you notice listening to Les Imprimés is the high level of musicianship. Martens plays nearly every instrument on the recordings and handles the production and arranging. He has been making records for decades, winning a Spellemann Award (aka, the Norwegian Grammy) in 2006 for producing a Hip Hop album as well as getting nominations across three other genres. While awards and accolades speak to the level of his talent, this new album really shows who he is as an artist on his own terms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMoving away from being a hired gun on the touring scene naturally led him to start doing more studio work. Slowly collecting gear and getting more experience behind the boards he built his own studio on the island of Odderøya and was making a living playing with and recording other people's music. As the story goes, after those sessions would end he would work on his own project into the wee hours of the night. From these late night sessions, Les Imprimés was born and Rêverie began to take shape. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, \"it wasn't until COVID, when things locked down, that I was really able to find the time to focus on Les Imprimés\" Morten says about creating and leading his own solo project. \"It was a scary time. But I knew I had to do something with it.\" He took the sum of his influences, combined them with his own vibe and got busy writing the music, playing the instruments, and singing the songs. \"It's soul music, but I don't exactly have the soul voice,\" Morten explains humbly. \"But I do it my own way, in a way that's mine.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is his sound, his fingerprint, his sensibility, that makes his music hard to categorize. He has crafted an album of songs with different energies that all fit together to make one gorgeous record. The lead single \"Falling Away\" starts with a raw drum break and turns into a lushly arranged tune that paints the picture of love when it slips away. On \"Still Here\" he professes his resilience through life's twists and turns over a thundering track that puts a new spin on the B side ballad genre. Songs like \"You\" and \"Our Love\" mix tones from 60s and 70s Soul with arrangement nods to Doo Wop records while Martens' lyrics and delivery leave you singing the melodies long after they finish. \"Love \u0026amp; Flowers\" finds Martens in a moment of clarity with a song that fits the niche sub genre of happy break up tunes, the four on the floor track will move the dancefloor while the message will resonate with anyone who put too much effort into the wrong situation in their lives. However, it is songs like \"Muse\" and \"Chess\" that really encapsulate the uniqueness of Les Imprimés as they push the boundaries of genre, one a profession of love for music and the other a cover of an electronic record respectively. Martens' lyrics, emotion, and delivery truly make the whole thing come together and stand out from any of his peers. There's an infectiousness and a pop sensibility in the writing that is done with the utmost class and taste giving Les Imprimés the rare quality of immediate attraction that only deepens the more you listen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2974440343\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/track=2125544040\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Crown Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46092044960031,"sku":null,"price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/a3378738369_16.jpg?v=1691773926"},{"product_id":"chastity-belt-no-regerts-10th-anniversary-edition-lp","title":"Chastity Belt - No Regerts: 10th Anniversary Edition LP","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Ltd Black \u0026amp; White Vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn December 29, 2012, three songs into Chastity Belt's first KEXP in-studio, something extraordinary happened: they shared \"Black Sail\" with the world. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThat year, I'd seen Chastity Belt play countless basement, bar, and DIY shows all over Seattle, but nothing could've prepared me for how my friends turned patience and quiet observation into something so affecting and effortlessly cool.
