July 8 street date. ARTHUR ALEXANDER Jr. was perhaps the catalytic figure in the birth of Muscle Shoals as an important musical hotbed, ‘You Better Move On’ being the first national hit recorded at Rick Hall’s legendary Fame Studios, in late 1961.
? A profound influence on the early 60s Beat Boom/British Invasion, Alexander’s songs have been recorded by artists like The Beatles (who recorded three of his songs), The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ike & Tina Turner, Dusty Springfield, Ry Cooder, Robert Plant, The Searchers, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Dave Edmunds, Johnny Rivers, etc. This compilation includes all his early recordings for the Dot label in 1961-62, notably ‘You Better Move On’, ‘A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues’, ‘Where Have You Been’, ‘Soldier Of Love’, ‘Anna (Go To Him)’, ‘Go Home Girl’, and the stereo version of his LP, You Better Move On. Also included is his unfeasibly rare debut single, ‘Sally Sue Brown’/‘The Girl That Radiates That Charm’, on which he was billed as ‘June Alexander’ (‘June’ being an abbreviation of ‘Junior’). Alexander died unexpectedly in 1993 on the verge of a major comeback, at the age of just fifty-three, which led to a massive revival of interest in his early recordings.
March 5 street date. Arthur Alexander's mid-60s releases for Monument and Sound Stage 7 under the supervision of Fred Foster in Nashville failed to register on the charts but are highly regarded, none more so than these sides cut on his first session for the company. The released tracks from the session, ‘(Baby) For You’ and ‘The Other Woman (In My Life)’, were more country-sounding. These two wonderful soul songs remained in the vaults until an Ace CD in 2001 and have picked up admirers ever since. To own them on vinyl will be a vintage soul lover's thrill.
May 10 street date. Woof Woof has existed somewhere for a long time, throbbing underneath the surface and masquerading as anything other than the pure energy it is, waiting to be extracted and molded into a form that can be consumed by everyone. With Woof Woof, Arthur beams pure-pop-liminality straight into the world, full of contradictions and twists, confusion and magic. This is an album that thrives in the in-betweens it creates then slips itself into. Decisions that may seem off-kilter or strange to other artists seem effortless to Arthur, pulled from another world, a world hidden to the average listener, hidden maybe for good reason. Woof Woof leaves you wondering from what dimension Arthur crossed over and how you can get there as soon as possible. There is a valley between sound and music that Woof Woof fills in with objects seemingly grabbed at random, from voicemails to dog barks, an uneasy path is created to bridge the divide. There is a maze in Arthur's debut LP and he doesn't care if you make it out in one piece.
Parution le 18 octobre. "Baba love". Un titre qui sonne comme une ode à l’amour. Dans sa quarantaine, Arthur H nous livre un album aussi mature qu’audacieux et confirme sa réputation d’ovni musical, et d’ aventurier tous risques. Pour ce faire, Arthur monte une équipe de choc. Joseph Chedid à la guitare, une section rythmique infernale tenue par Aymeric Westrich et Alexander Angelov des groupes Aufgang et Cassius accompagnés de Vincent Taurelle, pianiste du groupe Air. Équipe de choc, invités d’honneur. Jean-Louis Trintignant, qu’on ne présente plus, Saul Williams, chanteur poète américain considéré comme l’une des grandes figures du hip-hop soul, la délicieuse et très solaire Izia et la m ystérieuse Claire Farah. L’Homme du Monde a grandi et "Adieu Tristesse" semble loin derrière nous, du coup "Baba Love" nous communique une joie explosive, une quête du sentiment amoureux, un abandon heureux.
October 30 street date. A new 7-inch ripper split between Texan JAMES ARTHUR (FIREWORKS, NECESSARY EVILS, CC RIDERS, NEW MEMPHIS LEGS, GOLDEN BOYS) and Memphis mainstay ALICJA TROUT (CLEARS, LOST SOUNDS, CC RIDERS, NERVOUS PATTERNS, RIVER CITY TANLINES, BLACK SUNDAY). Arthur delivers his Krautrock influenced "Go West Old Bastard" with aid from ORVILLE NEELEY (BAD SPORTS, OBN IIIs) and BRYAN SCHMITZ (Golden Boys).

June 11 street date. For every song Joseph Arthur has released in his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated career that has spanned nine full-length albums and 11 EPs, he's probably kept three others in the vault for safekeeping. It was amid this abundance of riches that the Brooklyn-by way of Ohio-native began molding a collection of music under a single narrative thread: The Ballad of Boogie Christ, available on June 11 through Bonsound, described by Arthur as "a fictionalized character loosely based on my own journey."
