An update directly from GPN to address a few of the inaccuracies of the Jambands article. Following is a quote from Scott Tournet Just want to go on record saying that making the record with Mark was my favorite recording experience EVER!!! The album will speak for itself. To those worried about the hip-hop/R&B background Mark brings, this album sounds more like GPN than ANY other album...Any influence he brought only made us stronger, but to be honest, Mark just kept on saying..."Im just trying to stay out of the way!!? Just [...]

via jambands.com Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will release a new studio album this spring. The album, a collaboration with songwriter/producer Mark Batson, is the first to feature the Nocturnals current lineup. It is unclear what happened to an earlier series of recording sessions the band did with producer T-Bone Burnett. Baton is best known in the hip-hip/R&B world for his work with Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys. He branched out in 2005 to work with Dave Matthews Band on Stand Up. ... The band entered Los Angeles' Westlake Studios with Batson [...]
James Taylor and Carole King will undoubtedly by dueting on "You've Got A Friend" when the two pair up for a series of concerts celebrating the 40th anniversary of their 1970 tour. Apparantly the two had such a lovely time at their recent reunion at the Troubador that we now get a full "Troubadour" tour next year. We smell a Starbucks album, a PBS special and a CD/DVD package sometime around the holidays next year. You? Anybody feel like the whole " Aerosmith dumping Steven Tyler" and the inevitable "no I'm not" followed by [...]
Filed under: News , Songs , Exclusive Brett Dennen initially garnered attention -- rapidly and organically -- back in 2004, when he came out of the gate with great folk songs that were deeply humanist, driven by emotion but laced with political undertones. His innocently disarming voice and awkward mannerisms didn't hurt either and his charm hasn't escaped his fellow singer-songwriters. In fact, in the past couple of years he's been joined by a single-file line of noteworthy accomplices: he's sung duets with Mandy Moore [...]

In a much hyped move Google changed their search presentation for musicians/music this week. The business implications of what this means to Google, iMeem, LaLa, Pandora, MySpace and other industry players is undergoing some hefty analysis . So, why is Google such a clear-shot winner? The answer lies in the way the deals are being constructed. Google is organizing and pointing to on-demand streams, images, lyrics, and other information - but not paying royalties, haggling with labels, or otherwise getting their hands dirty with messy music content (of [...]
Later, the band played two new numbers. "Things I Never Needed" was a slow, soulful tune. She didn't announce the name of the second one, a swampy groove that devolved into psychedelic guitar work. The latter was a good companion piece to the band's only cover, Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit." More via Roanoke.com
