Baby What You Want Me To Do was written at the tail end of the 50s by blues guitarist Jimmy Reed . Download: 12-jimmy-reed-baby-what-you-wa nt-me-to-do.mp3 Not that he'd have known at the time, but Reed penned [...]
Always out of their time, the Del-Lords made a scruffy early-1980s debut in the age of synthesized MTV flashes in the pan. They return now with a suitably old-fashioned but similarly ageless amalgam of heartfelt lyrics and crunchy licks. Back are the original trio of vocalist/guitarist Scott Kempner, vocalist/guitarist Eric Ambel (who co-founded the Blackhearts, Joan Jett's band) and drummer [...]
Born To Be With You was an American top 5 single for The Chordettes in 1956. A largely forgotten piece of bobbysox balladeering, it's a proto doo wop, proto girl group paen to a just-out-of-reach romance, all minor key melodrama and vocal harmonies. It was quite clearly an influence on the young Phil Spector a few years later. A few short calendar years maybe, but it might as well have been several lightyears, given what happened in the intervening years betwixt and between The Chordettes and the golden touch of Phil [...]

Rolling Stone Unlike the previous installments in Dion's blues trilogy, Bronx in Blue (2006) and Son of Skip James (2007), Tank Full of Blues is mostly new originals. Dion adds a local tang to the electric-Mississippi glide "Holly Brown" – when he's riding the rails, it's the uptown D train – and his tremolo-guitar nod to my line of work, "I Read It (in the Rolling Stone)," includes the knockout line, "Sometimes I have to ask myself/What would my man Robert Plant do?" [...]
Torna nei negozi e nelle radio europee una delle artiste più interessanti del panorama continentale ovvero Aura Dione . Cittadina del mondo (è danese, nata negli Usa ma ha origini faroesi, francesi e spagnole), è reduce dal buon successo del primo album " Columbine " (110 mila copie vendute) e del secondo " Before the dinosaurs " , trascinato dal singolo "Geronimo " (due dischi di platino e uno d'oro) Adesso ecco "Friends" , un godibilissimo singolo tutto di produzione statunitense, visto che porta la firma (oltrechè della Dione) dell'italo-americana Antonina Amato, componente dei Rock [...]
Last month I announced the end of the In Memoriam column. The reaction, by comments and messages via email and Facebook, surprised me. I had been under the impression, acquired by the few comments they received and the very average hits recorded, that the feature was only mildly popular (which serves to stress the importance to comment on posts in features you enjoy). The labour required for the In Memoriam feature remains prohibitive, but by cutting out what really took a lot of time – researching and collating the music and pictures – I can still provide a [...]

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , Q + A Allison Michael Orenstein It was with his street corner buddies from the Bronx, Carlo Mastrangelo, Angelo D'Aleo and the recently deceased Fred Milano that Dion Dimucci changed the musical world. As Dion and the Belmonts , they all but owned the late-1950s pop charts with tunes including 'I Wonder Why' and 'A Teenager in Love.' DiMucci found even [...]
This songs has been stuck in our heads for a while, so it's nice to see it get a video. It's one of the best tracks of the season and if Aura Dione gets the right exposure, she could be huge! This is taken from her album Before The Dinosaurs . Filed under: Beats , Clip , Scandi Tagged: album , aura , dione , geronimo , new , single , video

Dion DiMucci may not be a name often associated with underground rock and roll. As the New York teen behind such inner city oldies as “The Wanderer” and “Runaround Sue,” Dion is usually branded as representative of the slick, early-1960s pop sound that came to replace teenagers' grittier rock and roll heroes like Elvis Presley [...]
Putting together these monthly mixes has become one of my favorite things to do on Pretty Goes with Pretty. It's not like putting together a typical mix, which usually has some unifying theme. No, these are mixes made with strict rules: all the songs were downloaded within the last month all are new to me, and it should go without saying that I think they're all great the mix is intended to be listened to straight through and should be a satisfying experience (The fourth, til-now-unspoken rule is that each [...]
This is from the album Sanctuary/ Suite for Late Summer. The first album was released in 1971 and the second in 1972.
Dion DiMucci may not be a name often associated with underground rock and roll. As the New York teen behind such inner city oldies as “The Wanderer” and “Runaround Sue,” Dion is usually branded as representative of the slick, early-1960s pop sound that came to replace teenagers' grittier rock and roll heroes like Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry. Through the years, however, the singer has shown himself a cat of many clothes, whether through rediscovering life as a soft-rock songwriter in the early 1970s or acting muse to Phil Spector's wall-of-sound later in the decade. DiMucci's peak, however, [...]
