A straight forward toast to friendship, “Friend Better” builds on the assumption that whereas love is fleeting, friendship endures.

“Fool”, the 20th studio album celebrating the artist’s 40th anniversary, is going to be released as CD Digipak, 1LP + download, Limited 1LP+7inch Vinyl+download (incl. 2 previously unreleased songs) and Digital on January 18 2019 on earMUSIC.

The album was co-produced by Jackson and producer Pat Dillett (David Byrne, Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard, etc.) The band in question was the same group that Jackson has played live with ever since the release of “Fast Forward”: Teddy Kumpel on guitar, Doug Yowell on drums, and long-time collaborator Graham Maby on bass (Maby was on that first recording session 40 years ago as well).

Reef - In Motion (LIve from Hammersmith)In 2018, Reef released their stunning album “Revelation”, the first in 18 years, and are now continuing their comeback with the live album “In Motion (Live From Hammersmith)”.

Watch the video for How I Got Over, here

The show was recorded on May 6th at the legendary Hammersmith Apollo in London as part of the “Britrock Must Be Destroyed Tour” (amongst other 90’s britrock legends like Terrorvision and The Wildhearts).

Reef were the last act to grace the stage on that night, and after knocking out “Place Your Hands”, the band almost immediately settled into the joyous soulful rhythm of the first single from the latest album “Revelation” before a magnificent performance of the duet “My Sweet Love” with their backing singer taking over Sheryl Crow’s part.

This energetic show is a mix of classics such as “Naked” and “Summer’s In Bloom” and new songs from the highly acclaimed comeback album “Revelation” – including the title track, the heavy rocker “Precious Metal”, and the gospel-infused smash hit “How I Got Over”.

A welcome chance to turn back time and remember some sing-along classics from yesteryear while enjoying the present and future of one of Bristol’s finest!

Reef “In Motion (Live From Hammersmith)” will be released on 2LP+Blu-Ray and CD+Blu-Ray and Digital. The 2LP+Blu-Ray will be available exclusively on the earMUSIC Store.

Heart - Live In Atlantic CityRock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Ann and Nancy Wilson first showed the world that women can rock when their band, Heart, stormed the charts in the ‘70’s with hits like “Crazy On You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” and so many more.

A night no one would ever forget was the night Heart performed on VH1’s “Decades Rock Live” back in 2006. It was an evening that brought together various stars around the two brightest shining stars of Heart. This show has been living on in the memory of music fans ever since and will now finally see its release on LP/CD/DVD/Blu-ray. “Live In Atlantic City” pays tribute to and celebrates the band’s legacy with the help of an incredible range of artists and friends, to keep this magical night of celebrating music and friendship alive for all eternity.

And what a night it was! The guest list of performers formed a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for itself, including country music star Carrie Underwood, Jane’s Addiction founding member and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro, country singer-songwriter Gretchen Wilson and Canadian-American singer-songwriter and composer Rufus Wainwright. An exceptional highlight of the show furthermore entails the return of renowned grunge rockers Alice In Chains with Duff McKagan joining his friends on stage!

Each guest artist had the chance to perform up to three songs together with the band. The track list includes gems like Heart’s “Crazy On You”, performed together with Dave Navarro or Alice In Chain’s “Rooster“.

A joined performance featuring all of the guest artists of “Barracuda” rounded up this monumental show, which will now finally be released on audio as well as visual formats for the world to enjoy.

“Live In Atlantic City” is going to be released as CD+Blu-ray Digipak, 2LP Gatefold+download, DVD, Blu-ray and Digital on January 25th, 2019 on earMUSIC.
