The Leland Bluebird Recording Sessions is a project instigated and brought about by Waterloo Sunset Records and inspired by the work of the Fox Valley Blues Society, Blues On The Fox Festival Committee and the Fox Valley Music Foundation. The project is a recording tribute to the records that were produced on the top floor of the Leland Hotel in Aurora, Illinois during a period in time beginning on May 4, 1937 and ending on December 19,1938.
The cream of the crop in the Chicago and St. Louis blues scenes were assembled on a variety of dates during that period to record tracks for the Bluebird Label. The sessions were the brainchild of a Chicago businessman and freelance A&R person named Lester Melrose. Tampa Red, Washboard Sam, Big Bill Broonzy, Big Joe Williams, Walter Davis, Henry Townsend, Robert Lee McCoy, Merline Johnson, Sweet Peas Spivey, and a very young, John Lee Curtis ‘Sonny Boy’ Williamson, amongst others, participated in many of the sessions.
The recordings are considered to be historic and very influential in laying down a foundation for rock and roll, big band music and post-war blues. The sessions helped to establish the harmonica as a lead instrument in blues ensembles while also lending credence to the notion that recordings sessions could be quick and efficient in using ‘house bands’ comprised of lead and session musicians accompanying each other on each other’s songs.
The rediscovery of these historic recordings lead to the formation of the Fox Valley Blues Society and the founding of the Blues On The Fox Festival both based in Aurora, Illinois. Several of the artists that participated in the original sessions are now members of the Blues Foundation’s Blues Hall of Fame and the song, ‘Good Morning, School Girl’, written and recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson, has also been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
The purpose of this tribute project is to pay homage to the artists that participated in those original recording sessions, and to help to ensure that their memory and those songs remain prominently known for ages to come.

“The world has too much strife, racial and social divides being fed 24/7; it’s non-stop. It turns normal, loving people into brainwashed zombies who can’t come together. Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but I’d like to make a place where all people can come together.”
— Raul Malo
It sounds like lofty “hippie speak,” something the Grammy winner jokes about, but Raul Malo, the son of Cuban immigrants, and his musical comrades believe in bringing people together – often in the name of good times and great music – which is the most universal language of all. “One of the things we love about our shows is we get all walks of life, all ages, all colors, all politics, all genders, all religions,” frontman Malo states.
From their earliest shows as a garage band playing the punk clubs on Miami Beach, The Mavericks have had a skill for getting people to groove. Drawing on a mix of classic country, cow-punk and standards, Malo and company left South Florida, bringing their rhythmic fervor and Latin machismo, along with Malo’s lush baritone, to the world.

With unrivaled stylistic sweep, musicianly chops, and depth of repertoire, Todd Rundgren & Utopia were a must-see concert draw in the late ‘1970s. This Double-LP release captures an August 5, 1978 date at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, right at the start of a nationwide tour. Earlier in the year, Rundgren had assembled an all-star band for residencies at the Bottom Line and The Roxy. Performances from those dates, plus an August 23 Utopia show, supplied the material for the live album Back to the Bars. Live at the Old Waldorf includes seven songs that did not appear on Back to the Bars, including four songs from Oops! Wrong Planet. Also includes Utopia backing Rundgren on songs, Like “Black and White” and “The Last Ride,” from which they were absent on Back to the Bars.

Moon Temple is Gabriel Andruzzi. You may know him as the bass player/sax guy/engineer of a well known defunct, NYC band. This well-polished piece contains 9 tracks of delicate interludes, acid stompers, and weirdo spastic mechanical marches. There is no way to know if this release will end up in a big room, a sweaty basement, or a museum. Not only does it sound good, but there is a visual aspect too. Both I and II 12”s (pressed on 45) are packaged in beautiful silver foil op art by Moscow’s Art Crime.
