Tim McGraw Strippin’ it down - “Something Like That”

Tim McGraw Releases Stripped-Down Acoustic Version Of 1999 Hit, “Something Like That”

When it comes to Tim McGraw classics, you know… before he had the 6% body fat, “Something Like That” might just be at the top of my list.

Written by Rick Ferrell and Keith Follesé, it was released in 1999 as the second single from McGraw’s A Place in the Sun album. Topping the country charts, and doing well on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, it was the MOST-PLAYED radio song in any genre from 2000-2009. Pretty damn impressive for a country song, eh?

And now, Tim is breathing new life into the ’90s country classic, releasing a stripped-down acoustic version of the fan favorite.

Edinburgh Festivals 'Optimistic' About Making a Comeback in Summer 2021

The Scotsman reports that Edinburgh's festivals have revealed they are pressing ahead with plans to return this summer - despite the cancellation of Glastonbury and huge doubts over whether restrictions on live events will be lifted by then.

Organisers of the city’s flagship events say they are “optimistic” they will be able to bounce back after they were all called off last April.

Council chiefs said they would be doing all they could to “support the sector and its recovery as safely and as quickly as possible.

”

However it could be months before the scale and form of the city’s cultural extravaganza is known.

In recent years, the summer festivals have been worth more than £300 million for the economy.

The Tattoo has been selling tickets for this year’s show since October. Tickets for EIF shows normally go on sale in the spring, while the book festival usually launches its programme in June.

Fringe venues have been able to sell tickets as early as January in recent years, however the final programme is not normally launched until June.

Atlantic A&R Exec Dallas Martin Named President of Asylum Records

Billboard have reported that Dallas Martin will be leading the Asylum Records imprint going forward.
Warner Music Group said on Thursday that Martin will over oversee the label as co-president alongside Gabrielle Peluso, while continuing on as executive vp of A&R at Atlantic, where he has worked with Roddy Ricch, Meek Mill, and the late Nipsey Hussle, among others.

Based in Los Angeles, the Flint native will report to both Eliah Seton, president of independent music & creator services, WMG and Craig Kallman, chairman & CEO, Atlantic Records.

Commenting on the appointment, Seton praised Martin’s "unflinching commitment" to his artists and described him as the "consummate A&R" who is "not only able to spot great talent but nurture that talent by spending endless hours in the studio crafting hit records. That’s exactly the sort of artist-first philosophy that we’re cultivating at the new Asylum."

Australian Rockers Wicked Smile Release Their New Single 'Killer At Large'

Australian heavy rock band Wicked Smile have roared into 2021 with a brand new single titled ‘Killer At Large’. This follows on from their 2020 debut ep titled ‘Delirium’ to very favourable reviews.

The new single is again produced by Paul Laine (The Defiants) and mastered by Bruno Ravel (The Defiants/Danger Danger).

Guitarist Stevie Janevski goes on to say, “last year was all about giving the world a ‘taste’ of what we’re about. We’re a five-piece kick ass heavy rock band and I think we made our presence known with the release of our Delirium ep”.

The new single ‘Killer At Large’ will no doubt be another talking point with its bombastic wall of sound. Vocalist Danny states, “this is my favourite song so far. It’s heavy, yet melodic and the song fits in perfectly with what we’re about. The energy from the entire band is amazing”.
