-
Artist:
New York Dolls guitarist Steve Conte is releasing a solo album, Steve Conte and the Crazy Truth in November to coincide with the Dolls' December tour of the U.K. Guesting on the album is David Johansen (aka Buster Poindexter), and members of David Bowie, Madonna and Stevie Wonder's bands.
Boy George has told the Times (U.K.) that he wrote "a lot of stuff" while imprissoned earlier in the year which he plans on releasing in 2010. One song, Your Pain Makes a Beautiful Sound, was written about the struggles of Amy Winehouse.
Bruce Springsteen is going to continue playing full albums at some of the remaining concerts of his current tour. Planned is Born to Run on October 25 in St. Louis and November 10 in Cleveland and Born in the U.S.A. on October 26 in Kansas City.
Ravi Shankar has been awarded the inaugural George Harrison Humanitarian Award. The award goes to people who are active in saving the lives of children and is awarded by the US Funds for UNICEF and the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF.
Caryl Stern of US Funds for UNICEF said "George Harrison and Ravi Shankar have been stalwart advocates on behalf of the world's children their entire careers. “Every day 24,000 children die of preventable causes. We are pleased to honor Ravi Shankar with the George Harrison Humanitarian Award for his commitment to reducing that number and believing in zero.”
Do we really need to see more of Rick Springfield? Not Springfield the musician or Springfield the soap actor, but more Springfield anatomy? The singer/actor will be playing a four-episode arc on the current season of Showtime's Californication where he plays at least one scene in the buff.
Springfield commented, "It’s not full-frontal, but it’s pretty much full on. As long as it’s for the part, I’m cool with it. And it’s funny. It’s not done to be particularly sexy."
Blues guitarist Johnny Jones passed away last Wednesday in Nashville at the age of 73.
Jones started his career during the 50's in Chicago, working with Junior Wells and Freddie King. He eventually moved to Nashville, which had a thriving blues community, and worked local clubs. He played guitar with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on the Dallas TV series The Beat and later with Bobby "Blue" Bland's band. Jones was also a friend and mentor of a young Jimi Hendrix.
As a recording artist, Jones released three solo albums during the late-90's and earlier part of this decade.
