NBC found their way into people hearts with the #1 new show "This Is
Us." The drama captured over 12 million viewers and is one of the most
anticipated shows to return this fall. To help with that anticipation,
Universal Music is releasing "This Is Us (Music From The Series)" on
September 15th. The soundtrack features 20 tracks, including popular
songs by Paul Simon ("Call Me Al"), Stevie Wonder ("Uptight") and Ringo
Starr ("Photograph"), mixed with modern folk classics by Wilco, Maria
Taylor, Conor Oberst and Sufjan Stevens. Most of the songs are beautiful
acoustic, storytelling folk tales that just need to be dusted off and
re-introduced to the world as with Cat Stevens' "The Wind" and "Blues
Run The Game" by Jackson C Frank." Many classic artists are featured on
this soundtrack including Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home"), Gene
Clark ("Because Of You") and Badfinger ("Without You"). Not only will
these songs invoke your own memories, but were also features in crucial
moments during the "This Is Us" series. Also arriving is the complete
first season of "This Is Us" on DVD. Look for the season 2 premiere on
September 26 on NBC. For more information on "This Is Us (Music From The
Series)," please visit universalmusicenterprises.com.
American vocal group Home Free recently released their new studio album
titled "Timeless." This 5-piece a cappella group decided to gather some
of their favorite songs from the past 4 decades and give them the Home Free
vocal treatment. The album also includes 4 original tracks mixes in
among the covers. A couple of the more obvious picks for this new
release are Tom Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway," Dave Mason's "We Just
Disagree" along with "Man Of Constant Sorrow." The songs are of course highlighted by the
wonderful harmonies between the band members. A couple of surprises that
appear on this release is Ed Sheeran's "Castle On The Hill," which is
given an upbeat country rhythm, and John Mayer's "In The Blood," which
carries a classic Oak Ridge Boys tone. The album closes with a
slicked-up pop version of Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone" and the
upbeat original modern country flavor of "Timeless." Home Free are
currently on the road, at the beginning of their 3 month U.S. tour. For a complete
list of dates and to find out more about their latest release
"Timeless," please visit homefreemusic.com.
