Gill Joined by Legends |
PR reports: At his sellout concert at the
California Center for the Arts in Escondido, Vince Gill invited San Diego-resident
Patti Page to join him in a rendition of her 1950 #1 hit, "The Tennessee
Waltz." When Gill brought Page on stage he quipped, "You know, it just
dawned on me that it was Miss Patti's music that my mom taught me to dance
to." Page launched into an amazing version of her iconic hit as Gill, overcome
by emotions, struggled to provide harmonies. He then took the hand of his
famous duet partner and proceeded to waltz to the delight of the crowd.
"This is a moment I will remember for the rest of my life," Gill marveled
as Page left the stage.
Gill next headed north to Bakersfield,
CA, the hometown of the late and legendary Buck Owens. Prior to his sold-out
performance at the Fox Theater, Gill visited Owen's radio station, KUZZ,
where he found a surprise awaiting him. Way back in 1991, during Gill's
performance at the Kern County Fair, Owens had presented him with one of
Owens' signature red, white and blue acoustic guitars. That guitar currently
hangs in Gill's office.[see full story for more]- Click

Streamin' |
PR reports: Teitur's latest release, Stay
Under The Stars, is now available as a full album stream on Altsounds.com's
online radio destination Altsounds.fm. The British folkie's latest record
was released in September 2006 on Equator Records, and is slated for a
US release to coincide with a December tour of the East Coast (details
below). Stay Under The Stars is a thoughtful, sad-eyed beauty filled with
warm, 3-minute acoustic numbers. The New York Times pretty much hit the
nail on the head when they said "Teitur's dreamy vocals evoke the reveries
of a romantic troubadour musing out loud as he travels the world --
simply beautiful"

Hot Snow |

at radio with the epic rock of "Dani California" and the crisp funk of
"Tell Me Baby," Red Hot Chili Peppers have issued the third single from
their mighty STADIUM ARCADIUM collection, "Snow (Hey Oh)."
"One of the album's catchiest tracks,"
touted Billboard, "'Snow' is a bittersweet pop tune driven by a seductively
serpentine melody, which curls and coils like a snake under the influence.
Here Anthony Kiedis gives one of his best vocal performances to date, offering
a relaxed, Zen-like look inside his lifelong struggle with addiction while
delivering delicate pop hooks."[see full story for more]-
