English singer/songwriter James Bay is well-known for his well-crafted takes on the classic love song, bringing together soul-stirring guitar licks and brutally honest lyrics that showcase not only his musical talents, but also his innermost thoughts.
The Grammy Award-nominated artist recently added to his heart-bearing catalog with the 2022 album Leap, which is even more vulnerable than his previously acclaimed albums, Chaos and the Calm and Electric Light.
Perhaps that penchant for expounding on his true feelings is what drew him to cover Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way,” a smash hit off the classic rock band’s chart-topping 1977 album, Rumours, for a new edition of Fender Sessions.
“It’s a classic,” Bay said of the track. “I’ve always been drawn to that song … the guitar sounds, the sound of the band, the sound of the vocals. It’s the full package.
Using an American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline, Bay added more of a rock tone to Fleetwood’s Lindsey Buckingham’s original composition, playing to the track’s emotional undertones.
Veteran US folk-rock star David Crosby has died aged 81, his representative has confirmed.
He helped set up two major bands in the 1960s: The Byrds, and Crosby, Stills and Nash. He was renowned for his guitar-playing and vocal harmonies.
His career saw him achieve the rare feat of being inducted to the revered Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
Former bandmates saluted Crosby's creative talents, while acknowledging the conflicts they had endured.
Crosby's wife told showbiz site Variety that he died "after a long illness" while surrounded by family.
"His legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music," her statement added.

Chief Lucian Grainge Slams Streaming Economy: ‘We Need an Updated Model’
Variety have reported that In his annual letter to the company’s staff, Universal Music Group
Chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge has taken aim at the existing model for
the music-streaming economy, saying it has become outdated as the format has
grown and “needs to evolve.”
Amid many other updates in the letter, dated Jan. 11 and
obtained by Variety, he writes, “What’s become clear to us and to so many artists
and songwriters — developing and established ones alike — is that the economic
model for streaming needs to evolve. As technology advances and platforms
evolve, it’s not surprising that there’s also a need for business model
innovation to keep pace with change… Under the current model, the critical contributions
of too many artists, as well as the engagement of too many fans, are
undervalued.”
In
the letter, he also slams the algorithms that streaming platforms use to direct
users to music, sometimes with less-than-artistic motives. He also reiterated
his alarm at the vast amount of music being uploaded to platforms, which can
exceed 100,000 songs per day.

Cera Impala creates songs that feel
instantly familiar. Her whiskey-honeyed voice takes intimately crafted pieces
to another time and place, one of dreams and magic as sensual as they are
savage. Her music has been heard all over the world, Impala has toured internationally
with her handpicked band, The
New Prohibition. In 2019, Cera debuted a new duet project, Delightful Squalor

Her world is one of playfulness, exploration and natural raw emotion.
Eetheral themes are embedded in authentic American roots and serious
musicianship. A multi-instrumentalist, she is no stranger to banjo, guitar,
piano and uke, adding a shimmer of synth to bridge genres in a sumptuous
union of sounds. While fully at home with each instrument, each one is
temporal lover enjoyed fully in each moment it is heard. The result is
perfectly moorish, Wildest
Dreams is an instant classic. Cera's previous album 'Tumbleweed', a
collection of songs that will simultaneously take you all the way around the
world and back into the heart of the woods. THE NEW PROHIBITION: A slice of
hillbilly noir and a measure of gritty 20's and 30's jazz, the New Prohibition
have one foot in the past and the other in the future of folk, jazz and
americana. "Dr." Dirk Ronneburg, her long-time musical partner, is
a fiddle-blazer of the highest degree who also performs with gypsy jazzers
Viper Swing, and in did a stint in the folk supergroup, Southern Tenant Folk
Union. The synergy between them is palpable; their music is otherworldly.

Washington. Berlin Germany, to Edinburgh Scotland. There
are various formats available, solo, duo, trio or four piece band.PLEASE
