GEORG LEVIN - Falling Masonry EP (2009)

The precursor of Georg Levin´s forthcoming album, the Falling Masonry EP on BBE!! The three tracks encompass the general mood and feel of what is about to come on the full-length Everything Must Change, due later in 2009, and one that we´ll obviously put up here!! Like most of the tracks on the album, the title song Falling Masonry was recorded with Georg’s live band plus a few guest musicians. It is a Soul and Rock influenced ballad. There are certain elements of Al Green as well as Led Zeppelin or even The Beatles if you listen closely. It starts off slowly and sensual before getting into a built part in the middle until it finally reaches its dramatical climax, supported by a string section, psychedelic noises and distorted guitars!!

THE SOUL OF JOHN BLACK - Black John (2009)

The Soul Of John Black is a celebration of the african american musical heritage!! On Black John, JB masterfully combines Soul, Gospel, Funk and Hip Hop, while tracing its roots all the way back to its humble origins - the Blues. JB infuses his uniquely crafted music with contemporary urban rhythms and hauntingly earthy acoustic slide guitar which at once pays tribute to a bygone era of such legendary figures as Leadbelly, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters, while boldly crossing over into new innovative territories and sonic frontiers. Backed by notable musicians Adam McDougal on keys (Black Crowes, Macy Gray, Maroon 5, Nikka Costa), Oliver Charles on drums (Ben Harper, Rhythm Roots All-Stars), Scott Seiver on drums (Nikka Costa, Inara George), Jake Najor on drums (Carl Denson, Connie Price, Breakestra), Shawn Davis on bass (Beck, Nikka Costa), Davey Chegwidden on percussion (Rhythm Roots All-Stars, Bitter Sweet, Ghostface Killer, Big Daddy Kane), and Bill Botrell on 2nd guitar (Grammy winning producer for Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynne, and many others), The Soul of John Black has reached a new plateau, transcending the crossroads and arriving upon an unexplored intersection on the aural highway. Soul music for a whole new generation!!
