What was the first album released by Tom Jenkinson?
Squarepusher
At this time, Tom was becoming obsessed with bringing a "dark psychedelia" to Drum and Bass (which would eventually reach its zenith with "Go Plastic" from 2001).
During this period Tom also made a remix for Ninja Tune's DJ Food, which featured on the e.p. "Refried Food". The remix led Ninja Tune to offer Jenkinson a record contract, which along with an offer from Belgium's R&S records he declined in favour of a contract offered by Warp Records, which was partially instigated by Richard D. James.
Correspondence between Richard D. James and Tom Jenkinson sprung up after meeting at The George Robey. The resulting meeting led to Tom's first hearing of the "Hangable Auto Bulb" e.p. which Richard had brought with him. But the meeting also facilitated Richard's initial selection of Tom's tracks that went on to form the "Feed Me Weird Things" album released on Rephlex Records in 1996.
Jimmy Barnes
Barnes launched his own career less than a month after Cold Chisel's Last Stand tour came to an end. He assembled a band that included Arnott, former Fraternity bass player Bruce Howe and guitarists Mal Eastick (ex-Stars) and Chris Stockley (ex-The Dingoes) and began touring and writing for a solo album. Signing to Mushroom Records, Barnes released his first solo album "Bodyswerve". He was now billing himself as Jimmy Barnes, instead of merely 'Jim Barnes' as he had been credited during his Cold Chisel days. The album was immediately successful, entering the Australian charts at Number One on 8 October. This was the first of a remarkable run of top charting albums for Barnes, as each of his first six solo albums all debuted in the Number One position, a feat that no other Australian musical artist is likely to match. His list of Number One albums now totals eleven, including three Cold Chisel albums. His total of nine No. 1 albums as a solo performer is matched by no other Australian recording artist. The final Cold Chisel studio album "20th Century" and the live album "Barking Spiders Live" were also released in 1984. "20th Century" peaked at No. 1 on 23 April.
Gus Jenkins
He remained in Los Angeles for the rest of his career, and learned woodworking while continuing to perform, with Johnny Otis' band and others, and record. He recorded "I Miss My Baby" for Jake Porter's Combo label in 1955, before recording "Tricky" in 1956 for the Flash label owned by Charlie Reynolds. The single reached no.2 on the R&B chart and no.79 on the "Billboard" pop chart in late 1956. He released several further singles on Flash, including "Spark Plug" and "Payday Shuffle", before forming his own label, Pioneer International, with Clayton Metzler in 1959. He released a string of records on the label until 1962, many being piano and organ instrumentals released under his own name, and some featuring vocalist Mamie Perry. He later recorded for the General Artist label, but without further commercial success. However, his single "Chittlins" was released by Tower Records, a subsidiary of Capitol, in 1964.
By 1970, Jenkins had converted to Islam, and used the name Jaarone Pharoah. He continued to perform around Los Angeles, until his death in 1985 at the age of 54.
James Morrison (jazz musician)
The group issued their debut album, "A Night in Tunisia", in 1984, on ABC Records as part of the series: Don Burrows Collection. The title track is a jazz standard by Dizzy Gillespie; another track, "Burrows Bossa", was written by Morrison. Also that year he backed Burrows on "Burrows at the Winery", providing trumpet, slide trumpet, trombone, and flugelhorn. The album had been recorded live at Rothbury Estate Winery. Morrison Brothers Big Bad Band used the same venue for their album, "Live at the Winery", Foster noted that it "features some of Australia's best playing some great tunes, [and] proves yet again the power, the presence, that can be generated by Australians playing jazz".
John Williamson (singer)
In January the following year he was inducted to the Country Music Association of Australia's Roll of Renown. Williamson's thirteenth studio album "Pipe Dream" was released in August 1997 and peaked at No. 6. At the Country Music Awards of Australia for 1998 he won 'Top Selling Album' for "Pipe Dream". "Sir Don", his tribute to cricketer Donald Bradman, is on the album. Williamson performed "Raining on the Rock" as a duet with Warren H Williams. The following year, at the Australian Country Music Awards, the pair won 'Collaboration of the Year'. Williamson soon took part in his short-lived television series on the Seven Network called "The Bush Telegraph". Following this for a moderate period, Williamson continued touring Australia and was also releasing a series of compilations. In July 1999 his fourteenth studio album, "The Way It Is" was released and peaked at No. 10, it went gold after eight weeks. At the end of 1999, he published his first calendar, by using photography from Steve Parish.
Tom Waits
"Bone Machine", Waits's first studio album in five years, was released in 1992. The stark record featured a great deal of percussion and guitar (with little piano or sax), marking another change in Waits' sound. Critic Steve Huey calls it "perhaps Tom Waits's most cohesive album... a morbid, sinister nightmare, one that applied the quirks of his experimental '80s classics to stunningly evocative—and often harrowing—effect... Waits' most affecting and powerful recording, even if it isn't his most accessible." "Bone Machine" was awarded a Grammy in the Best Alternative Album category. On December 19, 1992 "Alice", Waits's second theatrical project with Robert Wilson, premiered at the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg. Paul Schmidt adapted the text from the works of Lewis Carroll ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass", in particular), with songs by Waits and Kathleen Brennan presented as intersections with the text rather than as expansions of the story, as would be the case in conventional musical theater. These songs would be recorded by Waits as a studio album 10 years later on "Alice". 1992 also saw Waits featuring in Francis Ford Coppola's film "Bram Stoker's Dracula", as the possessed lunatic Renfield.
Billy Jenkins (musician)
Studio albums
James Morrison (singer)
On 11 July, he stated on his Twitter that the new album is called "The Awakening" and is due to release on 26 September. The first single is I Won't Let You Go. The track listing includes a duet with Jessie J on a track called "Up". Regarding the album's lyrics, meanwhile, Morrison has admitted that its themes draw on recent events in his personal life – which include becoming a father, while losing his own father following the latter's long battle with alcoholism and depression.
John Williamson (singer)
At the Country Music Awards of Australia in January 1995, he won 'Video Track of the Year' for "Tropical Fever" – directed by Mark Jago. During the year he celebrated twenty-five years in the Australian music industry with a new compilation, "True Blue – The Very Best of John Williamson", which reached the top 30. It included two new tracks, "Bush Town (The Lawnmower Song)" and "No-one Loves Brisbane Like Jesus". At that time, he published his book, "True Blue: Stories and Songs of Australia", which contains the lyrics of his songs and explanations of their composition. Williamson was surprised at the book's launch by Mike Munro as part of the TV documentary series, "This is Your Life". He appeared on the series again in 2000 when Slim Dusty was the subject of an episode. At the Country Music Awards of Australia in January 1996, Williamson won 'Top Selling Album' for "Mulga to Mangoes". He released "Family Album No.2" in September 1996.
Dave Mason
Mason was a friend of guitarist Jimi Hendrix, whose career was launched in England in 1966. Hendrix first heard the song "All Along the Watchtower", from Bob Dylan's album "John Wesley Harding", with Mason at the apartment of a friend who had acquired a prior release of the album. Hendrix recorded his own version at Olympic Studios, South West London, with Mason playing 12-string acoustic guitar. The song was released on the album "Electric Ladyland" in September 1968. Mason also sings backing vocals on "Crosstown Traffic". When it came out as a single in October, it hit No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart and reached the Top 40 in the US. Mason later recorded his own version of the song for his 1974 album, "Dave Mason", with Bob Glaub on bass.
Mason appears on the Rolling Stones' 1968 album "Beggars Banquet", playing the Shehnai and bass drum on Street Fighting Man , . Mason's connection was Jimmy Miller, who served as producer for the Stones and Traffic. In 1969–1970, Mason toured with Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, along with Eric Clapton and George Harrison. Mason appears on George Harrison's 1970 solo set "All Things Must Pass". In 1970, Mason was slated to be the second guitarist for Derek and the Dominos. He played on their early studio sessions, including the Phil Spector production of "Tell the Truth", which was later withdrawn from sale (and is now a collectors item). He also played at their first gig at the London Lyceum but left the group soon after that. He co-wrote the song "Big Thirst" on "Oh How We Danced", by Jim Capaldi (Mason's bandmate in the Hellions, Deep Feeling, and Traffic), and played the guitar solo on "Don't Be a Hero".
James Toseland
The first album 'Renegade' was released in 2014 and Toseland's first three releases, from the album 'Renegade', ('Life Is Beautiful', 'Crash Landing' and 'Renegade') all made it on to the A list on national radio stations and the album has received outstanding reviews. U.K. headline tours followed, along with special guest slots with 'Status Quo' and 'Reef', 'Calling Festival' with 'Aerosmith' and various appearances in Europe.
Jim and Jean
Jim and Jean's first appearance on record, "Jack Linkletter Presents a Folk Festival", was a live 1963 compilation album released on GNP Crescendo that featured a number of folk acts. In 1965, Jim and Jean released their first full-length album, a self-titled release, on the Philips label. This album contains songs written by Tom Paxton ("Ramblin' Boy" and "Hold On To Me, Babe"), Ochs ("There But For Fortune"), Buffy Sainte-Marie ("Welcome, Welcome Emigrante"), Lead Belly ("Alabama Bound" and "Relax Your Mind"), as well as traditional songs. Alice Skinner Ochs wrote the original liner notes printed on the back of the album. In 1966, Jim and Jean's second album, "Changes", was released on the Verve Folkways record label. The title track was written by Phil Ochs, and the album also contained two other Ochs' songs ("Flower Lady" and "Crucifixion"). Ochs also wrote the album's liner notes. This album also contained songs written by Eric Andersen, David Blue, Bob Dylan, and Jim and Jean. The sound on their first album is more folksy, whereas their second album contains more session musicians, instrumentation, and even some folk rock experimentation. They recorded with some musicians who had worked on Bob Dylan's first electric sessions. Their song "One Sure Thing" written by Jean and Harvey Brooks would later be recorded by Fairport Convention. Jim and Jean's third and final album, "People World", was released on Verve Forecast in 1968, and is their furthest departure from their original sound and style. At times, this album delves into some flower power themes and even slight psychedelia. The album also contained more of their own, original material than their previous albums. The title track, "People World", reached number 94 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in 1968. Also, two Ochs' songs appeared on this album: "Cross My Heart" and "Ringing Of Revolution". This was Jim and Jean's last album as a duo.
Jackson Browne
In 1971, Browne signed with his manager David Geffen's Asylum Records and released "Jackson Browne" (1972) produced and engineered by Richard Orshoff, which included the piano-driven "Doctor My Eyes", which entered the Top Ten in the US singles chart. "Rock Me on the Water", from the same album, also gained considerable radio airplay, while "Jamaica Say You Will" and "Song for Adam" (written about his friend Adam Saylor's death) helped establish Browne's reputation. Touring to promote the album, he shared the bill with Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell.
Ten Benson
Their next release, "Rock Cottage" saw them spoofing Heavy Metal. First album proper, "Hiss" followed in 2000. Next album was 2002's "Satan Kidney Pie". The United States debut album "Benson Burner" was released in 2003 on Jetset Records, and was described in one review as "ZZ Top in bed with The Strokes -- infectious hooks with primal leanings" and gaining comparisons with Tenacious D in another. Village Voice compared the band to Nantucket, and described them as "foreigners with bad hick accents growling, 'Mmmmmmm, hot sausage!'". A 2003 Drowned In Sound live review described them as an "inbred family of redneck truckers resplendent in mesh caps and string vests and hirsute faces". "Danger of Deaf" was also issued in 2003.
Jennifer Hanson (album)
Jennifer Hanson is the self-titled debut album of American country music artist Jennifer Hanson.

The title is the second "True Blue" compilation following "True Blue – The Very Best of John Williamson" released in 1995. Similarly, Williamson released a book of the same title with the song background and lyrics.
Johnny Cash
Cash began performing concerts at prisons starting in the late 1950s. He played his first famous prison concert on January 1, 1958, at San Quentin State Prison. These performances led to a pair of highly successful live albums, "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" (1968) and "Johnny Cash at San Quentin" (1969). Both live albums reached number one on "Billboard" country album music and the latter crossed over to reach the top of the "Billboard" pop album chart. In 1969, Cash became an international hit when he eclipsed even the Beatles by selling 6.5 million albums. In comparison, the prison concerts were much more successful than his later live albums such as "Strawberry Cake" recorded in London and "Live at Madison Square Garden", which peaked at numbers 33 and 39 on the album charts, respectively.
The Folsom Prison record was introduced by a rendition of his "Folsom Prison Blues" while the San Quentin record included the crossover hit single "A Boy Named Sue", a Shel Silverstein-penned novelty song that reached number one on the country charts and number two on the U.S. top-10 pop charts. The AM versions of the latter contained profanities which were edited out of the aired version. The modern CD versions are unedited, thus making them longer than the original vinyl albums, though they retain the audience-reaction overdubs of the originals.
James Morrison (singer)
He achieved worldwide success with debut single "You Give Me Something", which reached No. 2 in the Netherlands and the No. 5 spot in the UK. He released his debut album "Undiscovered" on 31 July 2006. The album received generally positive reviews with "The Sun", claiming "There isn't a bad track on it". An equally positive review by "The Times" stated that "Undiscovered may prove to be the least apposite album title for years". It topped the UK Albums Chart on its first week of its release. The album sold over 1 million copies around the world by the end of 2006., making Morrison the best-selling male solo artist of 2006 in the UK.
Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary
Released in 1995, Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary is the first album by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins as part of the Adiemus project. The title track "Adiemus" was used prior to the album's release in a 1994 Delta Air Lines television commercial (as well as related Delta Air Lines media around this time, including pre-departure videos aboard Delta flights).
Common to albums in the Adiemus project, releases in different regions may have different cover art and may include additional tracks. The Japanese release of "Songs of Sanctuary" features a tenth track titled "Adiemus (Full Version)" which is a longer version of the first track "Adiemus". A limited edition release of "Songs of Sanctuary" features additional edited versions of "Tintinnabulum" and "Kayama".
Old Man Emu (EP)
In 1970, Williamson entered New Faces, an Australian talent show, with the self-penned track "Old Man Emu". Williamson won the contest and signed with the newly formed label Fable Records.

He released four non-charting solo singles between 1970 and 1972.
Raymond Louis Kennedy
Kennedy's first solo album, "Raymond Louis Kennedy", was released in 1970. That year he befriended Dave Mason of Traffic, and toured with him in support of Mason's solo album, "Alone Together", also collaborating on a song "Seasons" that ended up on a future Mason solo album, "Let It Flow". During this period, Kennedy also co-wrote the Beach Boys hit, "Sail On, Sailor".

Albums
Tom Waits
Waits released "Real Gone", his first nontheatrical studio album since "Mule Variations", in 2004. It is Waits's only album to date to feature absolutely no piano on any of its tracks. Waits beatboxes on the opening track, "Top of the Hill", and most of the album's songs begin with Waits's "vocal percussion" improvisations. It is also more rock-oriented, with less blues influence than he has previously demonstrated. The same year, Waits contributed backing vocals to the track "Go Tell It on the Mountain" on the Grammy Award (Best Traditional Gospel Album)-winning album of the same name by the Blind Boys of Alabama. He also contributed a version of Daniel Johnston's "King Kong" to the tribute album "", released on Gammon Records.
Squarepusher
Squarepusher is the principal pseudonym adopted by Tom Jenkinson (born 17 January 1975), an English electronic musician. His compositions draw on a number of influences including drum and bass, acid house, jazz and electroacoustic music. His recordings are typified by a combination of electronic sound sources, live instrumental playing and digital signal processing. He is the brother of Ceephax Acid Crew (Andrew Jenkinson).
Tom Waits
Waits wrote the songs which would be included on "Swordfishtrombones" during a two-week trip to Ireland. He recorded the album at Sunset Sound studios and produced the album himself; Brennan often attended the sessions and gave him advice. "Swordfishtrombones" abandoned the jazz sound characteristic of his earlier work; it was for instance his first album not to feature a saxophone. When the album was finished, he took it to Asylum, but they declined to release it. Waits wanted to leave the label; in his view, "They liked dropping my name in terms of me being a 'prestige' artist, but when it came down to it they didn't invest a whole lot in me in terms of faith". Chris Blackwell of Island Records learned of Waits' dissatisfaction and approached him, offering to release "Swordfishtrombones"; Island had a reputation for signing more experimental acts, such as King Crimson, Roxy Music, and Sparks. Waits did not tour to promote the album, partly because Brennan was pregnant. Although not enthusiastic regarding the new trend for music videos, he appeared in one for the song "In the Neighbourhood", co-directed by Haskell Wexler and Michael A. Russ. Russ also designed the "Swordfishtrombones" album cover, featuring an image of Waits with Lee Kolima, a circus strongman, and Angelo Rossito, a dwarf. According to David Smay, "Swordfishtrombones" was "the record where Tom Waits radically reinvented himself and reshaped the musical landscape." The "New Musical Express" named "Swordfishtrombones" its album of the year.
Tom Jenkinson (footballer)
Born in Edinburgh, Jenkinson played club football for Hearts and Liverpool, and scored on his sole appearance for Scotland in 1887. He later emigrated to Australia.

His releases are mostly within the electronic music genres of drum and bass, Electronica, Hip hop and Braindance, with a significant jazz influence .
Bobo Jenkins
Jenkins went on to promote the first Detroit Blues Festival, in 1972. His first album, "The Life of Bobo Jenkins", was issued in the same year. It became known as the "red album", from the color of the record sleeve, which included a photograph of a younger Jenkins – who was then 56 years old – within a star shape. This was a tie-in with the Big Star Records name. Jenkins was one of the headline acts in the Detroit blues review part of the 1973 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival. Recordings from the festival were released by Schoolkids Records in 1995, including two tracks by Jenkins. In 1974, Jenkins wrote another song with political overtones, "Watergate Blues," which was included on his next album, "Here I Am a Fool in Love Again". The cover design was the same as that of the previous release, but with a change in color, and the album became known as the "green album". The session musicians included artists based in Ann Arbor, such as Sarah Brown, Fran Christina and Steve Nardella. In 1976 Jenkins performed at the Smithsonian Institution, as part of the celebrations marking the United States Bicentennial.
Tom Wasinger
Tom and his wife, Susan Wasinger, started a project in 1993 aimed at recording lullabies from around the world. The album is titled “The World Sings Goodnight” and sold tens of thousands of copies after being featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” In 1996 Tom scored a mountain biking film entitled Tread directed by Bill Snyder. He continued working on various projects and was nominated for his first Grammy in 2001 for his production work on Joanne Shenandoah’s “Peacemaker’s Journey.” The Native American album did go on to receive an Independent Music Award and a Nammy Award. After receiving these awards Tom focused more on Native American and indigenous music projects. This led to “Beneath the Raven Moon”, an album with artist Mary Youngblood. The album did exceptionally well in its genre, winning a Grammy and multiple independent awards as well as charting on the Billboard charts. Tom’s follow up project in 2005 with Mary Youngblood titled “Dance With the Wind” won another Grammy for production. He won his third Grammy in 2009 for “Come to Me Great Mystery: Native American Healing Songs” a compilation album released by Silver Wave Records.

Tom Tom Club
There was then a four-year gap until the band's next album, the first version of "Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom", released in 1988. By this stage, the band's non-US deal with Island had expired and the album was released outside the United States on Fontana/PolyGram. On the album, the group adapted a more conventional rock style with a harder edged sound and a hint of menace in the lyrics of some songs. The group's line-up was also solidified along more conventional commercial lines. Whereas the previous two albums had been recorded by a loose collective of a dozen musicians, the band was now reduced to the trio of Weymouth, Frantz, and Weymouth's sister Laura Weymouth. There were, however, a number of prominent guest musicians on the record, including Lou Reed and Talking Heads' front man David Byrne on a cover of Reed's "Femme Fatale." The fourth member of Talking Heads, Jerry Harrison, also featured on some tracks. As with "Close to the Bone", the album was not a commercial success although "Suboceana" received some radio play, mainly in the UK, and the single "Don't Say No" made the UK Top 100 (Tom Tom Club's fifth, and to date final, single to do so). The album was the first Tom Tom Club album to be issued on CD and the Japanese CD version featured an added bonus track, the B-side "Devil, Does Your Dog Bite?", which was also featured on the soundtrack to the film "Married to the Mob". "Suboceana" was also remixed for dance clubs by house music pioneer Marshall Jefferson.

The Awakening (James Morrison album)
"The Awakening" is the first album by Morrison to be released with Island Records after he recently parted ways with Polydor, his label of six years. Three years in the making, the album is influenced by the death of his father, as well as Morrison’s own steps into parenthood. It also sees him form a new creative relationship with producer Bernard Butler, who has further advanced Morrison's foray into a classic but contemporary soul sound.
"I don’t want to put across that, yeah, the album is about my dad, losing my dad; some of it is but the other half is this sense of being woken up to what I wanted to achieve," he said in the interview by "Music Week". Meanwhile, speaking of the title itself, he told Blues & Soul: "I basically just wanted it to feel like a first album, in the sense of me having woken up as an artist and person – you know, I wanted to forget that Broken Strings kind of pop side of me a little bit. And so, with me having actually written a SONG called 'The Awakening', that title also just kind of neatly fitted the album TOO."
Mick Jenkins (rapper)
On November 21, 2017, Mick Jenkins released "Or More; The Anxious", the first mixtape in a series of projects Jenkins describes as "a project series involving musical ideas and concepts that are currently inspiring the album's creation process."

Jason Champion
His music career got started in 1992, with the band Men at Large, however he left the group in 2007 because he experienced the conviction of Jesus Christ upon his life through a comment made by his fellow band member. This eventually lead him to sign with EMI CMG, which was a division of Sony Music Entertainment at that time in 2008. His first and only album to date, "Reflections", released on May 27, 2008, and it charted on the "Billboard" Gospel Albums chart at No. 23. The release was nominated for a Grammy Award at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in the category for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album. Charity Stafford, reviewed the album at AllMusic, referring to the songs as "subtle but unmistakable declarations of faith". Melody Charles, indicating in a review from Soul Tracks, realizes, ""Reflections" will put pep in your step on the way to Church on Sunday morning and could very well keep your spirits up throughout the rest of the week." John Fisher, rated the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, recognizes, "On the whole not a bad effort to kick start his EMI recording career though there doesn't appear to be a smash hit song here." The album was produced by Warryn Campbell of The Soul Seekers.
Tom Waits
It was at the Troubadour that Waits came to the attention of Herb Cohen, who signed him to a publishing contract; that Cohen did not give him a recording contract suggests that he was interested in Waits only as a songwriter rather than a performer. Quitting his job at Napoleone's to concentrate on his songwriting career, in early 1972 Waits moved to an apartment in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, a poor neighbourhood known for its Hispanic and bohemian communities.
He continued performing at the Troubadour and there met David Geffen, who gave Waits a recording contract with his Asylum Records. Jerry Yester was chosen to produce his first album, with the recording sessions taking place in Hollywood's Sunset Sound studios. The resulting album, "Closing Time", was released in March 1973, although attracted little attention and did not sell well. Biographer Barney Hoskyns noted that "Closing Time" was "broadly in step with the singer-songwriter school of the early 1970s"; Waits had wanted to create a piano-led jazz album although Yester had pushed its sound in a more folk-oriented direction. An Eagles cover of its opening track, "Ol' 55", on their album "On the Border", brought Waits further money and recognition, although he regarded their version as "a little antiseptic".
John Williamson (singer)

The Jam
Following two successful and critically acclaimed non-LP singles, "Strange Town" and "When You're Young", the band released "The Eton Rifles" in advance of their new album. It became their first top 10, rising to No. 3 on the UK charts. November 1979 saw the release of the "Setting Sons" album, another UK hit, and their first chart entry in the US, albeit at 137 on the "Billboard" 200. The album began life as a concept album about three childhood friends, though in the end many of the songs did not relate to this theme. Many of the songs had political overtones; "The Eton Rifles" was inspired by skirmishes between demonstrators on a "Right to Work March" – a campaign initiated by the left-wing Socialist Workers Party – and pupils from Eton College; "Little Boy Soldiers" was an anti-war multi-movement piece in the vein of Ray Davies. Another notable song from the album was Bruce Foxton's "Smithers-Jones", originally a b-side to "When You're Young". The song is almost unanimously considered to be his greatest contribution to The Jam. Recorded with electric rock instrumentation for the single release, "Smithers-Jones" was given a complete makeover for the "Setting Sons" album with a string arrangement.

When Williamson was in the ninth grade in Detroit, he formed his first rock band, The Chosen Few, with schoolmate Scott Richardson. They performed cover versions of Rolling Stones songs and others. Ron Asheton would go on to become the bassist in one of The Chosen Few's later line-ups. Despite this connection, the two were barely acquainted at the time, with Asheton recalling that "the first time I played with them, that was the last time James played with them. They met for the first time during a holiday break when Williamson attended a Frat Party Gig where Asheton was playing ... Iggy was also there that night and so Williamson met both people that night and remained in touch afterward." As a guitarist, Asheton went on to form The Stooges with his brother Scott (drums), bassist Dave Alexander and Iggy Pop. Williamson also spent some time in a juvenile home after his stepfather had told him to cut his hair and Williamson refused. In the first half of 1966, Williamson was sent to a boarding school in a small town eighty miles north of New York City. While there, Williamson helped form and played lead guitar in the Coba Seas. During that time, the Coba Seas taped a rehearsal session, resulting in the first recordings of Williamson's guitar prowess.
Jimmy Davis &amp; Junction
Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, the principle members of Jimmy Davis & Junction at the beginning of their recording career were Jimmy Davis (lead vocals, guitar), Tommy Burroughs (guitar, mandolin), John Scott (keyboards), and Chuck Reynolds (drums). This lineup recorded their debut album "Kick the Wall" in the mid-1980s without a permanent bassist, releasing the record on MCA in 1987. The album was produced by fellow Memphian and local legend Jack Holder, who also provided bass, additional guitar, and additional keyboards on the record. Characterized by a brash hard rock sound mixed with elements of blues rock/boogie rock and Southern rock, the album gained national exposure thanks to its title track, a song about dealing with the frustrations of an unsuccessful relationship. The group recorded a music video for the song and appeared on several MTV music specials. Earning an immediate local following, the group began touring across the U.S. "Kick the Wall" would eventually peak at #67 on the pop charts and reached number 32 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

Four of the group's LPs charted among the 10 top-selling albums for five weeks in November and December 1959, a record unmatched for more than 50 years, and the group still ranks in the all-time lists of many of "Billboard's" cumulative charts, including those for most weeks with a number 1 album, most total weeks charting an album, most number 1 albums, most consecutive number 1 albums, and most top ten albums.

Vanessa Carlton
Carlton's second album, "Harmonium" was released in November 2004. "Harmonium" debuted at number 33 on the "Billboard" 200 and descended quickly after; selling less than 150,000 copies as of February 2006, which was considered a disappointment after her successful debut. It was produced by Stephan Jenkins from Third Eye Blind, and included darker themes than those on her debut album. Carlton and Jenkins met and began a relationship in mid-2002, when she and rock band Third Eye Blind, of which Jenkins is lead singer, were on tour together. After seeing Carlton perform live, Jenkins entered her dressing room and expressed interest in producing her music, and according to Carlton they "decided very quickly, that we had the same vision for the album". Carlton credited Jenkins with helping her to withstand and protect herself from pressures the record label executives, who wanted to influence the recording process, placed on her. According to Carlton, her label "wasn't very happy" about the decisions she made during the making of the album.

The first song on the album "We're All Going To Die" was released as a single on 17 December and started off with odds of 1,000–1 against becoming the Christmas number one – reportedly the highest odds ever quoted. After support from social networking websites and from BBC Radio 1 DJ Colin Murray, the odds dropped to 9–1, and Middleton was 4th favourite for Christmas Number One behind Leona Lewis, Katie Melua ft Eva Cassidy and "The X Factor" winner Leon Jackson. Murray started supporting the song as a response to repeated Christmas chart domination by manufactured pop acts churned out by the likes of "The X Factor". Middleton has said that, despite the song's negative-sounding title, he feels the song perfectly sums up the spirit of Christmas – the need to make the most of life while we have it. On the UK singles chart dated 23 December 2007 the song reached number 31, with the Christmas Number One being a cover of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's "When You Believe" performed by Leon Jackson.

Mason Dixon (band)
The group's first single, released in 1983, was a cover of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. The group was the first act to have a Top 40 Country "Billboard" single on an independent record label in the 1980s, with the release of "3935 West End Avenue" in 1987. They signed a recording contract with Capitol Nashville in 1988, who released their fifth studio album, "Exception to the Rule". Its title track was their most successful single, reaching the Top 40 of the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and No. 63 on the "RPM" Country Tracks chart in Canada. Henderson left the group in 1989, to be replaced by Terry "Caz" Casburn (vocals, bass). A second album for Capitol, "Reach for It", was completed but never released. Rick Henderson, one of the founding members of the group died in mid December 2009.
Jamey Johnson
Johnson was part of the Fox TV television series "Nashville", which was cancelled after two episodes in September 2007.
Johnson released an album in 2008, "That Lonesome Song", which was only made available online. The album drew the attention of Mercury Nashville Records, who signed him to a record deal in 2008. His first single for the label, "In Color", was released in March 2008. This song, which Johnson co-wrote with Lee Thomas Miller and James Otto, entered Top 40 in June 2008, and "That Lonesome Song" was released on CD in August of that year. "In Color" peaked at No. 9 on the Country chart in January 2009 and was followed a month later by "High Cost of Living", which managed to crack the Top 40, but only reaching No. 34. By April 2009, "That Lonesome Song" was certified Gold by the RIAA.
Australian country music
Singer-songwriter John Williamson, (OAM) began to build his reputation as an iconic Australian entertainer with his 1970 performance of his first song "Old Man Emu" on New Faces (influenced by novelty works of Rolf Harris such as Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport). It was the first of many popular songs employing Australian slang. In 1982 he released "True Blue" and subsequent works including "Mallee Boy", the lyrical "Galleries Of Pink Galahs" and reworkings of Australian bush ballads and folk songs earned him a permanent position as leading exponent of Australian country and folk music.
Sonny Boy Williamson II
Williamson's first recording session took place in 1951 for Lillian McMurry of Trumpet Records, based in Jackson, Mississippi. It was three years since the death of John Lee Williamson, which for the first time allowed some legitimacy to Miller's carefully worded claim to being "the one and only Sonny Boy Williamson". When Trumpet went bankrupt in 1955, Williamson's recording contract was yielded to its creditors, who sold it to Chess Records in Chicago. He had begun developing a following in Chicago beginning in 1953, when he appeared there as a member of Elmore James's band. During his Chess years he enjoyed his greatest success and acclaim, recording about 70 songs for the Chess subsidiary Checker Records from 1955 to 1964. His first LP record was a compilation of previously released singles. Titled "Down and Out Blues", Checker released the collection in 1959. A single, "Boppin' with Sonny" backed with "No Nights by Myself", was released by Ace Records in 1955.
Waiting Room (EP)
Waiting Room — EP is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Jamie Teachenor. It was released on November 26, 2013, by Gasoline. The EP did well on several independent charts, debuting at number 45 on iTunes Top Rock Songs Chart and number 60 in the UK on Rockadia Magazine's Top 100 Rock New Releases Chart, quickly becoming an Amazon Best Selling Album. "Love Somebody" was chosen as the lead-off single from "Waiting Room," " and was followed in early 2014 with the single, "I'm Not Over You," continuing to gain ground for Teachenor on Indie radio. The EP's cover art features an oil-based painting by Teachenor also titled, "Waiting Room."
James Taylor
During the recording sessions, Taylor fell back into his drug habit by using heroin and methedrine. He underwent physeptone treatment in a British program, returned to New York and was hospitalized there, and then finally committed himself to the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, which emphasized cultural and historical factors in trying to treat difficult psychiatric disorders. Meanwhile, Apple released his debut album, "James Taylor", in December 1968 in the UK and February 1969 in the US. Critical reception was generally positive, including a complimentary Jon Landau review in "Rolling Stone" who said that "this album is the coolest breath of fresh air I've inhaled in a good long while. It knocks me out." The record's commercial potential suffered from Taylor's inability to promote it because of his hospitalization, and it sold poorly; "Carolina in My Mind" was released as a single but failed to chart in the UK and only reached #118 on the U.S. charts.
Just a Souvenir
The album originated in a daydream, in which Tom Jenkinson envisioned a rock band performing a concert against the backdrop of a large, glowing coathanger. The performance quickly became surreal: among other things, a river forces the band to kayak whilst performing; the guitarist is able to accelerate or decelerate time at will; and every drum in the drummer's kit begins to switch places with each another. As such, the majority of the album consists of Jenkinson's own version of jazz fusion, threaded through with classical guitar, math rock and funk recordings.
J. W. Jenkinson Memorial Lectureship
John Wilfred Jenkinson (1871–1915) was a pioneer in the field of comparative developmental biology (the forerunner of evolutionary developmental biology) and one of the first to introduce experimental embryology to the UK at the start of the 20th century. He originally studied Classics as an undergraduate student at Oxford, before switching his attention to Zoology under the guidance of W. F. R. Weldon at University College London . He also travelled to Utrecht in the Netherlands, to work with Hubrecht, and was exposed to new methods and approaches in embryology. In 1905, he was appointed the first lecturer in Embryology at the University of Oxford in England, and in 1909 published the first English textbook on experimental embryology in which he summarized recent work in the emerging scientific discipline and criticized neo-vitalist theories of Hans Driesch .
Themselves
Doseone and Jel met through Mr. Dibbs and formed Themselves. Then known as Them, the duo's first studio album, "Them", was released in 2000. In 2002, Themselves released the second studio album, "The No Music". A remix album, "The No Music of AIFFs", was released in 2003. In 2009, Themselves released a mixtape, "The Free Houdini", as well as the third studio album, "Crowns Down". Another remix album, "Crowns Down & Company", was released in 2010.Studio albums
James Taylor discography
After releasing more albums between 1974 and 1976, Taylor signed with Columbia Records and issued "JT" in 1977, which peaked in the Top 5 and sold over two million copies in the United States, certifying two times multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. In 1979 and 1981, Taylor respectively released "Flag" and "Dad Loves His Work", which both certified platinum in the United States and produced Top 40 singles. Nearly four years later, Taylor's next studio album "That's Why I'm Here" was released and spawned a cover of Buddy Holly's "Everyday", which only became a minor hit in the United States. This was followed by "Never Die Young" three years later and then by "New Moon Shine" in 1991, both of which sold over one million copies. After recording a two-disc live album in 1993, Taylor returned in 1997 with a fourteenth studio album entitled "Hourglass". The album not only peaked at #9 on the "Billboard" 200, but also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Album the following year. His fifteenth studio release "October Road" was issued on August 13, 2002 on Sony BMG and certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. After recording a limited release in 2004, Taylor released his first major-release holiday album, "James Taylor at Christmas" on October 10, 2006.
Jimmy and the Boys
In November 1979 the group released their first studio album, "Not Like Everybody Else", which was delayed after Astor Records decided it was "too obscene". It appeared on Avenue Records – a newly formed imprint by Festival Records "to handle Jimmy and the Boys". By April 1980, the new line-up included Joe P. Rick (real name Joseph Attaulah) on guitar and vocals, Michael Vidale on bass guitar and vocals, and a returning Johnston on drums and vocals. In May that year the band were featured on the cover of "RAM (Rock Australia Magazine)" which described the group, "[t]heir performances featured politics, simulated sex and violent humour. Their stage antics involved the use of props, such as setting fire to dolls and maiming an effigy of [then-Prime Minister] Malcolm Fraser". In 1981 they scored their only top 10 single with "They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me", written by Split Enz leader, Tim Finn. According to the Split Enz radio documentary, "Enzology" (2005), Finn was initially unhappy with Jimmy and the Boys' version. The original demo by Finn appears on the album "Other Enz" (1999).

John Williamson (singer)
In 1973 Williamson hosted a country music TV series, "Travlin' Out West", which ran for two years, broadcast by NBN-3, Newcastle. He performed with two regular acts, Ricky & Tammy, and Emma Hannah. The program provided two albums for the regulars, "Travlin' Out West in Concert" (1973) and "From Travlin' Out West" (1974) issued by Reg Grundy Productions. In 1976 he issued his second album, "The Comic Strip Cowboy", but it failed to chart. In early 1978, Williamson released his first compilation album under the "Country Greats" series. This was followed later in the year by his third album, "Road to Town", with contributions by other musicians including Tommy Emmanuel on guitar. Also that year Williamson formed a country music band, Crow, which performed on the pub and club circuit across Australia. In 1980 Crow were renamed as Sydney Radio, to play rock music with a reggae influence. The members used face paint, with Williamson disguised as the clown, Ludwig Leichhardt. Williamson penned rock and reggae numbers for the band some of which were recorded but never released. Since 1970 Williamson has had a friendship with radio presenter, John Laws, who calls Williamson his 'little brother'. In 1977, Williamson recorded and released a single, "It's a Grab It While It's Goin' Kind of Life", which is a musical tribute to Laws. Up until Laws' first retirement on 25 June 2007, Williamson wrote and performed a series of jingles for Laws' morning show on 2UE, and his final jingle was "Hey good on ya Lawsie, you pulled the plug at last". Laws made a successful comeback to radio broadcasting in February 2011, this time at 2SM, part of the Super Radio Network, and Williamson's jingles for his programme resumed.
