Johnny Mathis Going Country Pop

Johnny Mathis is going country pop on September 21st. That's the day that Columbia Records will release of Let It Be Me: Mathis In Nashville.

For his first full album inspired by the world of country music, Mathis, whose knowledge and love of music crosses all genres, handpicked the songs for Let It Be Me: Mathis In Nashville, songs that moved him personally and came alive under the Mathis touch.

Johnny and Fred Mollin, the album's producer, assembled a group of the finest musicians in Nashville (or anywhere in the world) to record an album intentionally free of modern studio tricks. With the superb recording engineer Khyle Lenning on board to capture the sessions, Johnny recorded these songs live in the studio over the course of a week. Johnny's approach is sympathetic to the original country arrangements, with each musician performing with an extraordinary sensitivity supporting some of the most intimate vocals Mathis has ever recorded. - more on this story

Jordan Galland Releases New Video

Jordan Galland has released the third in a series of music videos from his album Search Party, for the song "Someone Loves You".

The live-action video combines Galland's archival memory and appreciation for American Cinema with his trademark tongue-in-cheek outlook on society into a story about one man's obsession with an online social networking site (it rhymes with Schmacebook) and the virtual life he's built for himself.

Our main character, played by Galland, is captured by a group of scholarly rebels, who force him to watch footage of real life events, including snapshots from Galland's own childhood and a montage of images from the 1974 American thriller, The Parallax View.
