I should probably stick something in here to let everyone, who looks at July's comparative emptiness, know that I'm still alive and kicking. Between lots of overtime at my real job, duties at WMEB, home life and softball regional and state championship tournaments my month of July has been jammed with activity. More reviews and info will come soon.
John Hiatt has signed a contract with Capitol Records. His five
successful A&M recordings (Bring the Family, Slow Turning,
Stolen Moments, Perfectly Good Guitar, Comes Alive At Budokan)
turned his recording career around. Here's hoping Capitol doesn't
muck around with him too much!
After a couple of albums on Zoo/BMG, Canada's The Odds have signed with Elektra.
Belfast, Ireland's Ash has signed with Reprise Records.
David Gray, after albums with Virgin affiliates Caroline and Vernon Yard,
is slated to release an album for EMI in 1996.
