FOR\nIMMEDIATE RELEASE
\n
\nBoston Rock & Roll Anthology Chapter #21
\n<\/strong>
\nThis is the first of our thirty compilation albums where every artist on the\ndisc and their music have been promoted by my media company.  It is a free\nservice for musicians who give me the honor of representing their music to\nradio, print and online publications as well as critics and DJs spanning the\nglobe.   It is truly “double exposure” as the songs that we\nhave been working find themselves on a fixed medium, inside a booklet, with the\nadvance knowledge that this music has already been played on multiple terrestrial\nand online radio stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n
\nYes, many of these artists have been on the rock and roll highways with me for\ntwo, three or four decades.  As publicist for Club Bohemia @ the Cantab\nthe weekly postings keep me apprised of who is out there in the trenches\nworking to entertain. It’s been twenty-three years since Boston Rock & Roll\nAnthology Vol #20 so my one regret as that I didn’t keep this up on an annual\nbasis.  Let’s plan to do that now!
\n___________________________________________________________________________
\n
\nGreg Walsh’s New Ghosts feature the drummer from Pop Gun and Huck\n2.   Huck 2 worked with me in the 1990s and Pop Gun appeared with my\nband at the C Note when we played the past eight or so years for Michael\nWeddle’s Rat Reunions.
\n
\nPhil DaRosa met me out in Springfield when Jimmy Miller’s daughter, Deena,\nperformed with Maxine Nightingale at the Big “E” – it was many years\nago and Phil’s “Faraday” is remarkable, inspired and quite different\nfrom the music that he performs live.
\n
\nKitoto Sunshine Love is the daughter of our good friend Bobby Hebb (his\nbirthday July 26, just yesterday.)  Bobby released a disco song about his\nroots, “Proud Soul Heritage,” and Kitoto performs it with a\nblues\/Gospel feel, yours truly producing. On drums is the amazing Steve Holley\nfrom Elton John\/McCartney – Wings\/Ian Hunter-Mott the Hoople, Thomas Hebb –\nBobby’s nephew, and the wonderful choir!
\n
\nKitoto’s second track, “Love You,” features Peter Calo (Carly Simon’s\nmusic director) who is actually performing “Love You” in his live\nsets; the late David Maxwell on piano in what might have been one of his final\nsessions and I only wish Bobby could hear his daughter singing these amazing\nsongs in such a touching way.
\n
\nHeidi Jo Hines and Nicola Barchiesi are Karma Car.  Heidi is the daughter\nof the late Jo Jo Laine and Wings’ guitarist Denny Laine. Their two songs are\nunique and expressive with Beatles’ flavors the frosting on the cake. \nWhich is why I put “Downtime” by the Complaints next to “As It\nIs,” listen to the Beatles influences on Dean Petrella – though the song\nis still distinctive and original.
\n
\nMichele Gear Cole wrote “Guardian Angel” for her dad and it has hooks\ngalore and her amazing vocal.  Michele worked with Jimmy Miller in the\n1980s and has the distinction of bringing both Marvin Hagler and Miller onstage\nduring a packed and stunning show at the Paradise Theater.  Billy and\nMichele have that show on tape!  And got Jimmy to sing “Gimme\nShelter” with them at Syncro Sound, the Cars studio on Newbury St.
\n
\nAround that time Jimmy brought me to a Keith Richards session in New\nYork.   Keith said “Joe, you have to meet Rob Fraboni.”
\nWorking for Rob it was my honor to promote Alvin Lee featuring George Harrison\nand Jon Lord of Deep Purple for the CD ZOOM featuring “Real Life\nBlues.”  Rob has remastered the Bob Marley collection, has a Grammy\nwith Keith for a Hank Williams tribute, and engineered Goats Head Soup with\nJimmy Miller while co-producing Bridges to Babylon.
\n
\nRob spent enormous hours mastering this album over the past four days.  It\nshows!   I love every track. From 3d, who debuted on Boston RR\nAnthology #8 back in the 1980s to Fire in the Field and Empty County Band who\nmet me at Club Bohemia, these artists are very special to me, and their music\nis  – at some points – overwhelmingly beautiful.
\n
\nMy dear friend Pamela Ruby Russell came out to the Middle East June 1, 2019 and\nmet Andy Pratt (who was amazing with Mach Bell on drums and Larry Newman on\nbass.)   Andy introduced Pamela to Mario Gil who worked with Pamela on\n“Space And Time.” It and “Walk Thru Fire” (from her Highway\nof Dreams album) bring a texture to the album that complements the other\nartists. Peter Calo co-produced Highway of Dreams.
\n
\nDalia Davis has been making a splash on Lowbudget Records with her Dylan\ntribute to “My Back Pages” and her very creative “Beatles\nBridges,” which is a mix of bridges of Beatles songs. [Have you noticed\nyet our affinity for the Stones and the Fab Four?] I asked Dalia for the folk\ntrack, “Eleven and a Half,” as it rounds the album out nicely, though\nher “Power of One” is starting to get attention at online radio.
\n
\nTom Mich’s “Table Scraps” is uniquely different and creative – I\nadore it – and not because he was guitar tech for Terry Kath, the late\nguitarist of the band Chicago, or the fact that he was my roommate at the dawn\nof the 1980s.   Matt O’Connor’s “Ballad of a Rock Star” is\na take-off, he tells me, on an unpublished song of mine, “Are You a Rock\nStar Yet?”  Like Mich, Matty O lived with me too, and that we’re all\nstill speaking speaks volumes, does it not?  Love the “Sympathy for\nthe Devil” vocals in Rock Star!
\n
\nLegendary Kenne Highland of The Gizmos is also a long-time guitarist with yours\ntruly.  He’s also in Mad Painter, a Club Bohemia band for sure, but it was\nKenne who introduced me to Alex Gitlin.   They have Mott the Hoople\ninfluences and since our album has Steve Holley from Mott the Hoople AND Wings,\nwell, you can see we are writing like our heroes AND appearing on CDs with\nthem.
\n
\nJoe Black has been working with me since the 1980s, like many on this disc. \n“Blackenstein” (instrumental) may be the ultimate of many Joe Black\nsongs, and features Artie Knyff of L-88, the band I got to book into the\nWorcester Centrum with Blue Oyster Cult all those years ago.
\n
\nWhen our good friend Little Joe Cook was checking out Scott Couper at the\nCantab he didn’t know that Scott and his brother Jay worked with me for\nyears.  They also backed up Denny Laine on tour.  Well, recently I\ncouldn’t find a master tape of mine from 1979 that was missing from the Varulven\ninventory.  Lo and behold Jay and Scott shipped me 8 or 9 DVDs with about\nEIGHT HOURS of Count music…live shows and many, many unreleased tunes. \nIt had the 1979 track, don’t know how they got ahold of it but they did! And\nthank the good Lord, the missing tape is retrieved.   “I Thought\nAbout You” here on this album is a track from my soon-to-be released\nSecret Things album that Jay produced and Scott arranged.  They are\nbrilliant. And when Little Joe left the Cantab the brothers became the house\nband for quite some time.
\n
\nThis is a very special album, and to be with all my friends on this disc is an\nultimate party on plastic!
\n
\nSpecial thanks to Kenny Selcer for post production and assembling.  His\nresume’ is amazing doing sound for Magic Dick, Aztec Two Step, Eric Andersen\nand performing in a duo with Steve Gilligan of Fox Pass and The Stompers. We\nare all one big family and if you listen to this album two or three times\nyou’ll understand why the Boston music community is one of the greatest in the\nworld. The previous anthologies are fetching nice prices on eBay…you have the\nprivilege of hearing the future right now.

\nTHE HISTORY OF BOSTON ROCK AND ROLL ON FIXED MEDIA
\n<\/strong>
\nThe Boston Rock & Roll Anthology Series started in 1983 with the first\nAnthology rolling off the truck and Producer Jimmy Miller marveling at a\ncompilation of area music.  “What a great idea” Jimmy said as I\ncracked open the first box and showed him \nVolume 1 before anyone else in the world!
\n
\nIn 1979 we started off with The Boston Bootleg and 1981 The Boston Bootleg 2\nwhich featured the beautiful legs of my graphic artist, Billie Perry. Chapter\n#20 arrived in 1997 with four volumes of the Demo That Got The Deal (TM) radio\nshow continuing the legacy, Chapter 4 in 2014.
\n
\nIn between we had the U.S. Anthology #1, the Boston Jazz Anthology and the Mass\nMetal album.
\n
\nThis will be our THIRTIETH COMPILATION of local music with many more to come.\nThe CD comes with a booklet, the story of the anthology series and information\non each track with the music in the back of the booklet. Produced and directed\nby Joe Viglione, Varulven Records P.O. Box 2392, Woburn MA 01888 Co-sequencing\nand assembling: Kenny Selcer. Mastered by Rob Fraboni.
