Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and “British Invasion” pioneers, The Zombies, todayannounce the release of Odessey & Oracle Mono Remastered on September 26th. The album, thefirst of four definitive physical reissues from their catalog, includes the classic songs “Time OfThe Season,” “Care of Cell 44,” and “This Will Be Our Year” and is a regular entry in “BestAlbums of All Time” lists in publications like Rolling Stone, NME, and Mojo Magazine. Therelease, which coincides with The Zombies' documentary, Hung Up On A Dream, marks the firsttime the band's original mono mix, remastered from studio tapes, has appeared on LP since therecord's British issue in 1968, presenting the album as they originally intended it to be heard.Pre-order the album on all formats here.Recorded primarily at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1967, Odessey & Oracle wasself-produced in Mono on a shoestring budget by primary songwriters Rod Argent (keyboards/vocals) and Chris White (bass/vocals). Under last-minute pressure from their record label, thealbum was hastily remixed in the newly emerging Stereo format, which sacrificed key elementsfrom the Mono recording, most notably the beloved horn parts in “This Will Be Our Year”.The band today also share the first track off the album, the mono remastered version of “ThisWill Be Our Year”, with the horn parts restored. Although never released as a single, this deepcut has found a new life thanks to prominent uses in TV and film, including memorable scenes inMad Men, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Schitt's Creek, and covers by artists like FooFighters, OK Go and Susanna Hoffs. Its positive and uplifting message has been embraced bycouples as a popular wedding song, and become a staple of New Year's playlists. Listen here.The album also includes new liner notes from famed writer, David Fricke. Read an excerptbelow:Odessey and Oracle is very much of and about its time: songs of youth and love – thelucky strike of attraction ("I Want Her She Wants Me"); flickering memories held tight("Brief Candles"); longing that defies the odds ("Maybe After He's Gone") – from pop'shigh season of amour, a crowded nirvana of landmark debuts (Pink Floyd, the Doors, theJimi Hendrix Experience) and definitive accounts of Britain's psychedelic bloom…Thisalbum was also built to stand the test of time, at the 11th hour by a band with everythingto prove. "We were always dissatisfied with the production of our records," Argent said in1971 of the Zombies' Decca work. "We wanted to produce an album before we broke upto satisfy ourselves." The result was a fearlessness that still rings fresh, that inventiondriven by the Zombies' stringent resources and their confidence in the songs. Most of "ARose for Emily" is simply piano and vocal, an Argent-Blunstone duet with streaks ofchoral sigh.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

When The Flood wanted a closing track for its second studio album in 2002, the guys turned to a tune that Charlie Bowen had just learned from listening to “Below the Salt,” Keith Newman's legendary radio show on Ohio University's public radio station, WOUB-FM.From Athens, Ohio, for 35 years ending in 2012, Newman broadcast all manner of folk sounds, from roots music, old-time and blues to original songwriters and what he called “techno-Celtic.” And on most of those ear-opening Sunday mornings, Charlie was tuned in from the Bowens' kitchen in Huntington. It was on Keith's show that he first heard a 1975 recording by Roy Book Binder and Fats Kaplin of the tune they called “Never Cried 'Til My Baby Got On the Train.” Falling in love with the melody and those sassy lyrics, Charlie worked it up and bought it to the band, which had it well in hand by the time of its recording on The Flood's Plays Up a Storm album in November 2002.Later, when it came time to write the notes for the new album, the guys credited the song to Roy Book Binder, but they could find no further provenance for the tune. After all, in 2002 Google was just four years old, and at any rate the World Wide Web was not yet all that worldly nor wide, nowhere near the data monster it is nowadays.Digging up the RootsToday, though, nearly a quarter of a century later, the web is an awesome thing and quite the boon to anyone eager to search out the genealogy of the songs the world sings.It turns out that the tune we're talking about here can be traced back to a blues singer named Blind Teddy Darby, who wrote and recorded it as "Built Right on the Ground," released from a September 1931 session for Victor Records.Theodore Roosevelt Darby was born in Henderson, Ky., in 1906, though his family later moved to St. Louis when Teddy was 7. Between 1929 and 1937, Darby recorded 20 sides in Chicago under several names (Blind Teddy Darby, Blind Blues Darby, etc.) for labels such as Paramount, Victor, Bluebird, Vocalion and Decca.Darby lived until 1975 and was “rediscovered” during the folk revival in the 1960s, when he was able to tell his story to song catchers and documentarians. Darby's Back StoryIn notes for Darby's collected sides on Documents records, for instance, Mike Row wrote that at 15 Teddy had his first taste of trouble when he “cut a boy with a razor” and was sent to a correctional institution. Released after 14 months Teddy found work in a barrel factory until around 1926 when he lost his sight through glaucoma. Later an incident over a woman saw him incarcerated again, this time in the city workhouse where he learned to play guitar from one Jesse Riley.“I really worked on the guitar,” Darby said. “Not much else a blind man could do then.”Once released from the workhouse, Darby performed on the streets, at house-parties and at a gambling club. In 1929, a piano-playing friend introduced him to Jesse Johnson who was organizing a session for local talent to record for Paramount. That meeting led to eight years of recording sessions.Johnson also promoted the 1931 Victor session at which Darby recorded “Built Right on the Ground.”Slowing DownDarby's musical activities slowed down after he received his disablement pension in 1939; possibly recording opportunities were becoming fewer anyway. Finally, it was in the mid-1950s when a musician friend was stabbed to death during a fuss over a packet of cigarettes that Darby soured of the music business and that life. His later years were quieter, as he spent his time as a deacon in his church. However, in 1964 he did record 15 tunes backed by Big Joe Williams. Sadly, though, that material apparently was never released.Bit More Floodified Blues?If you'd like a little something else from the band's blues cabinet, remember the Blues Channel on the free Radio Floodango music streaming service.Click here to give it a spin.

A veteran British broadcaster, music industry insider, and self-proclaimed "serial thrill-seeker", Steve Blacknell's life has zigzagged through some of pop culture's most iconic moments.Born in Peckham in 1952 and raised in Dartford, Blacknell rose from humble beginnings—working as a hospital cleaner—to becoming a dynamic force in radio, television, and music PR. He worked at major record labels like Decca, Chrysalis, and Jive, where he notably signed A Flock of Seagulls.In the early 1980s, he became a familiar face and voice on BBC Radio 1, BBC2's Riverside, and later as a pioneering European video jockey on MTV USA's London Calling, reaching an audience of over 20 million.In 1985, he flew on Concorde with Phil Collins to cover both the UK and US sides of Live Aid, cementing his place in music history.Blacknell also dated Kate Bush in the 1970s, and their romance has since become part of his rich tapestry of rock 'n' roll storytelling. In interviews and his writing, he speaks fondly of her artistry and the intimacy they once shared, offering rare insight into the reclusive star.In 2025, he published his memoir Tales from the Bedroom Wall: The Life & Times of a Serial Thrill Seeker, which charts the highs of stardom and the lows of personal collapse.

It's a freezing cold day on New Year's Eve, 1961, and the Beatles are driving down to London for the Decca recording test. Join them at the Royal Hotel in Bloomsbury following a night on the tiles.

SynopsisOne way composers help make ends meet is to accept commissions for occasional pieces — works written for some special occasion, a private or public celebration or anniversary of some event, large or small. Sometimes these works go on to have a life of their own apart from the special occasion that prompted their creation, so that subsequent audiences might not even be aware of the original event at all.In 1959, English composer Benjamin Britten accepted a commission from Swiss conductor Paul Sacher for a cantata to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the University of Basel in Switzerland. The texts selected for the cantata were all in Latin, the old academic language of universities 500 years ago, and included excerpts from the founding charter of the institution as well as medieval odes in praise of the university written by its students and faculty.Britten's score, which premiered at the University of Basel on today's date in 1960, was quite literally, an academic exercise — and it's amusing to note that apparently he wrote out the text for the work in the pages of one of his old school exercise books.Music Played in Today's ProgramBenjamin Britten (1913-1976): Cantata Academica (Carmen Basiliense); Jennifere Vyvyan, soprano; Helen Watts, mezzo-soprano; Peter Pears, tenor; Owen Brannigan, bass; London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra; George Malcolm, conductor; Decca 4251532

Folklorist John A. Lomax found this song in 1909 when he made his first field trip to the Brazos area of Texas for Harvard University.“I found Dink scrubbing her man's clothes in the shade of their tent across the Brazos River from the A. & M. College,” Lomax wrote when he and his son Alan published the song 25 years later in their seminal 1934 work, American Ballads and Folk Songs.Harvest Professor James C. Nagle had been the supervising engineer of a levee-building company during that first trip, and he invited the senior Lomax to come along and bring his new Edison recording machine.Among the levee workers who had traveled from Mississippi to work on the Brazos, Lomax found one who pointed out Dink, saying she “knows all the songs.”But Dink was uninterested in helping — “'Today ain't my singin' day,” she said — until “I walked a mile to a farm commissary,” Lomax wrote, “and bought her a pint of gin. As she drank the gin, the sounds from her scrubbing board increased in intensity and in volume. She worked as she talked.”“That little boy there ain't got no daddy an' he ain't got no name,” Dink told Lomax. “I comes from Mississippi and I brung along my little boy. My man drives a four-wheel scraper down there where you see the dust risin'. I keeps his tent, cooks his vittles and washes his clothes. Some day I gonna wrap up his wet breeches and shirts, roll 'em up in a knot, put 'em in the middle of the bed and tuck down the covers right nice. Then I'm going on up the river where I belong.”The TuneLomax's original record of “Dink's Song” — which the storyteller eventually sang for him — got broken long ago, but not before John, Alan and others in the Lomax family all learned the words and melody.Poet Carl Sandburg, who included the song in his New American Songbag in 1950, compared Dink's lyrics to the best fragments from the Greek poetess Sappho. “As you might expect,” Lomax commented, “Carl prefers Dink to Sappho.”The elder Lomax lost track of Dink after his 1909 field trip. "When I went to find her in Yazoo, Mississippi, some years later,” he wrote, “her women friends, pointing to a nearby graveyard, told me, ‘Dink's done planted up there.' I could find no trace of her little son.”The first commercial recording of “Dink's Song” came eight years after the Lomaxes published it in their songbook, when Libby Holman waxed it as “Fare Thee Well” in a recording with Josh White for Decca Records.Oh? You say you don't know who Libby Holman was? Oh boy, do we have a story for you!Libby's LifeA Cincinnati-born actress and singer — her career began as a torch singer on Broadway in the 1920s and ‘30s — Libby Holman was a controversial figure, known for her turbulent personal life as well as for her activism, which included unstinting support for civil rights.When she was in her late 20s, Holman was at the center of a highly publicized case surrounding the death of her first husband. Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir to the R.J. Reynolds tobacco fortune, who died of a gunshot wound at their estate in 1932. Initially, Libby was accused of murder, but the charges eventually were dropped. The coroner ruled Smith's death a suicide. For her part, Holman said she couldn't remember exactly what happened, telling a friend, “I was so drunk last night I don't know whether I shot him or not.”RelationshipsHolman was known for her intimate affairs with both men and women, including a significant relationship with DuPont heiress Louisa d'Andelot Carpenter. The tabloids of the day had a ball with Libby's openness about her bisexuality.Folk/blues artist Josh White also has a significant professional and personal connection with Holman. In the 1940s they became the first mixed-race male and female artists to perform together, to record together and to tour throughout the United States.Together they challenged segregationist policies in the entertainment industry, breaking down racial barriers in many previously segregated venues. During World War II, the two tried to organize performances for servicemen, but they were rejected due to the prevailing segregation in the U.S. Armed Forces, despite a recommendation from Eleanor Roosevelt.As “Fare Thee Well,” “Dink's Song” was among a half dozen songs Holman and White recorded for Decca in 1942. Three years later, White recorded the tune again on his first solo album, Songs by Josh White, for Asch Records, a predecessor of Folkways. He recorded it at least once more later in his career, on the 1957 Mercury album called Josh White's Blues.Our Take on the TuneIn the Floodisphere, Randy Hamilton has reinvented this century-old tune into something as fresh and sweet as a summer breeze.And if listening to it has you hankering for more music from Randy, just swing on by the free Radio Floodango music streaming service and tune in the Randy Channel.

Hello Friends! We've got something a little different on the show today. A few months ago I became very curious about a few stereo mixes I had used in my episode on the Zombies LP Begin Here, where a few tracks had turned up in poor SQ. At that point I assumed this was likely baked into the mix, until I put out a call regarding The World of The Zombies featuring these tracks, only to discover that I was in fact, incorrect. This sent me on a whirlwind of a journey picking up copies of The Zombies, Early Days, The World of The Zombies, Rock Roots & The Collection, in addition to my CD copies of The Singles A's and B's and Greatest Hits (on Audio Fidelity), but came away with only more questions than answers. Why are some tracks mono on some compilations and stereo on others? Why do some discs have studio chatter and some don't? Where did all these later stereo mixes come from that aren't on the '69 & '70 discs? And what is the best source for all of these now they are out of print? After listening to many Zombies LPs and CDs later, as well as a few more, I feel I can confidently give you the definitive answer to all of these questions, as well as the best guide on where to find them, as despite later CD issues, many of these are best heard by far on those original LPs. And for listeners over on the Patreon, I have included my working notes below for each tracklist for this episode. Huge thanks too to Ethan Alexanian for this episode's flatlay artwork. Happy Listening, Frederick Patreon  Email  Instagram - @hypnoticfred

My guest for this episode is Robert Rodriguez who joins me to discuss the book he co- wrote with Jerry Hammack, 'Ribbons of Rust - The Beatles' Recording History in Context: Volume 1 - July 1954 - January 1963. Robert and Jerry's book tells The Beatles thrilling early story in context, describing the sights and sounds of that time creating an effect that feels like you are you are in the room with The Beatles, from the first Liverpool recording at the Percy Phillips facility to Forthlin Road, their Hamburg sessions with Tony Sheridan, Decca and Parlophone.

Daphne, by Richard Strauss, comes to Seattle Opera for two concert performances in January 2025. This gorgeous opera, based on Greek myth, is a splendid showcase for a fantastic orchestra. Jonathan Dean explains what Strauss learned from Wagner, tells this unfamiliar opera's story, and explores the meaning of the myth. Musical examples from the 2005 Decca recording of Daphne (West Deutscher Rundfunk Orchestra conducted by Semyon Bychkov, with Renee Fleming, Johan Botha, Michael Schade, Anna Larsson, Kwanchul Youn, Julia Kleiter, and Twyla Robinson); the 1983 EMI recording (Bayerischen Rundfunks conducted by Bernard Haitink, with Lucia Popp, Reiner Goldberg, Peter Schreier, Ortrun Wenkel, and Kurt Moll); and the 1965 Deutsche Gramophon recording (Vienna Symphony conducted by Karl Böhm, starring Hilde Gueden, James King, Fritz Wunderlich, Vera Little, and Paul Schöffler).

DescriptionCarnegie Hall: A Stage for Legends in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactIn 1962, The Beatles were rejected by Decca Records, who claimed "guitar groups are on the way out." Two years later, they rocked Carnegie Hall in a sold-out show, proving just how wrong Decca was! Their performance was so wild that police had to hold back screaming fans.__________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

1964 became 1965, but the Beatles had to deal with chasing the Abominable Snowman. Meanwhile, Brian and Cilla (and George Martin) chased The Righteous Brothers and Andrew Loog Oldham (and Phil Spector). We also see the new tunes from the band Decca chose over the Beatles, and the drummer who took up the sticks when Ringo chose the Beat;es over Rory Storm.

Mit 19 Jahren wird Melody Gardot auf dem Fahrrad von einem Jeep erfasst und schwer verletzt. Ihre Liebe zur Musik rettet sie durch den monatelangen Spitalaufenthalt und unterstützt den zähen Genesungsprozess. Dank Singen und Songschreiben lernt Gardot wieder zu sprechen. Mit einem Aufnahmegerät kämpft sie gegen den Verlust des Kurzzeitgedächtnisses an. So findet sie allmählich ins Leben zurück. Und erobert nur wenige Jahre später mit ihren Songs zwischen Blues, Folk und Latin die internationalen Bühnen. Live spielt Melody Gardot oft jazzorientiert. Mit sorgfältig produzierten Studioalben begeistert sie auch ein Poppublikum. Und auch wenn die mittlerweile 40jährige immer wieder Gesellschaftskritik übt, ist es die heilsame Kraft von sanfter und positiver Musik, für die sie weiterhin brennt. Michael von der Heide ist ein bekannter Schweizer Chansonnier und arbeitet seit Jahren auch als diplomierter Pflegefachmann. Über Melody Gardot und die Kraft der Musik diskutiert er in der Jazz Collection mit Annina Salis. Die gespielten Titel: Interpret:in: Titel (Album / Label) Melody Gardot: Some Lessons (EP Bedroom Sessions / Selfreleased 2005 Melody Gardot: Les Étoiles (Live in Europe / Decca 2017) Melody Gardot: Our Love Is Easy (My One and Only Thrill / Verve 2009) Melody Gardot: Mira (The Absence / Decca 2012) Melody Gardot: Preacherman (Currency of Man / Decca 2015) Melody Gardot: La chanson des vieux amants (Brel - ces gens là / Barclay Universal 2019) Melody Gardot: Ninguém, Ninguém (Sunset in the Blue / Decca 2020) Melody Gardot & Philippe Powell: Perhaps You'll Wonder Why (Entre eux deux / Decca 2022)

This recording, composed and performed by the criminally underestimated Rick Nelson and his right-hand man James Burton, is a tone poem of psychedelic disorientation. It lopes along, taking its sweet time, floating in mid-air, then seeps out through the singer's enthralled brain in a sensual vortex. It reminds me of my virgin night of acid enlightenment, when I crawled across my cousin's floor, following the swirling carpet patterns, whispering: “Oh, Wow,” over and over again.The tune features the sitar, a trope of the time, sensitively voiced by a musician mysteriously listed as “unknown,” and they stand out as the unsung hero of the whole enterprise. Appearing as it did in 1967, Marshmallow Skies signifies that time in Rick's career between his teen idol period and when he emerged, fully realized, as a progenitor of country rock. He's in experimental mode here, searching for a new direction. And, with characteristic aplomb, he makes his case convincingly. An interesting side note: “Marshmallow Sky” is also a flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream - and, a sweet smelling iris which resembles floating clouds. Appropriate, I think.

The Beatles' rise to fame (1962-63): The podcast covers their signing to EMI, recording their first single, and early TV appearances. https://youtu.be/Go4X-3aZDv0 Context matters: Early 1960s Britain shaped The Beatles' development, with the podcast highlighting the social and cultural factors at play. Personality & charisma: The Beatles' humor and charm were as crucial as their music in winning over fans and the industry. Collaboration: Brian Epstein, George Martin, and others were instrumental in The Beatles' success, which the podcast examines in detail. Historical accuracy: The podcast stresses credible sources and distinguishes facts from myths when exploring The Beatles' history. The Beatles' Early Days Hamburg's influence: Their time in Hamburg was transformative, improving their music and stage presence. Quote: “Hamburg very much unlike Liverpool… they don't know how to do Beatles tourism.” The podcast contrasts Hamburg's handling of Beatles history with Liverpool's. Early rejections: The podcast recounts labels like Decca and EMI turning them down, showcasing their uncertain early career. The Decca Audition: It analyzes the audition's recordings, providing insight into their pre-fame sound. Brian Epstein's role: As their manager, he refined their image and secured a record deal, remaining honest even under pressure. The Beatles and EMI George Martin's initial reaction: Martin was initially skeptical but grew interested after meeting the band. Quote: “Martin didn't know it, but he was as lucky as The Beatles were.” This reflects the chance nature of their collaboration. June 6th recording session: A pivotal moment in Martin's perception, marking a turning point in the band's journey. Recording dynamics: The podcast explores how The Beatles and Martin created a shared vision and changed industry practices. Methods of Historical Research Primary sources: The podcast relies on interviews, letters, and news articles for authenticity. Fact vs. fiction: It emphasizes being critical of sources and separating myths from reality. Avoiding presentism: The podcast warns against modern interpretations of past events, stressing historical context. Quotes of Note • “The interwebs are full of empty infotainment in the same old, same old about Beatles trivia. You deserve the real story.” - Ariana Grande • “The Beatles didn't quite achieve their stylistic target. It was their failure that made them succeed.” • “They wanted their live and studio set of songs to sound something like American Pop R&B… but they failed. They sort of created their own genre.” • “Think of Jed Clampett out shooting at some food… He missed what he was aiming at… but up from the ground, he found oil under his land to make him very rich.” • “There would be no Beatles without R&B. In fact, there would have been no rock and roll at all.” - John Lennon • “Black music is my life. The Beatles and Sergeant Pepper and all that jazz—it doesn't mean a thing. All I talk about is 1958 when I heard Little Richard's ‘Long Tall Sally' and when I heard Chuck Berry's ‘Johnny B. Goode' and when I heard Bo Diddley. That changed my life completely.” - John Lennon • “The Beatles are like rock and soul men singing their pop with boy-man energy that matches girl-group energy.” • “They weren't whitening the music like a bunch of Pat Boons. It becomes a thing of its own but it remains soulful.” • “For us in the group, all that matters is that we try to get it right. If we make an error, we don't dig in. It's really just the opposite.

We're all students… there are no teachers. We're all fallible. We're all students.” • “So much of Britain was black and white and bleak until The Beatles came along.”

“There was no Command-Zed back then!” John Wood engineered or produced some of the most magical, timeless and affecting records ever made - by Nick Drake, John Martyn, the McGarrigles, Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, John Cale, Squeeze and many more. He's 85 now and looks back here at a luminous career that started with mastering singles at Decca and transferred to Sound Techniques, the mecca he co-founded in an old cowshed in Chelsea when takes were spontaneous and even the tape-op was part of the performance. He misses those days, when albums were organic and the labels had less control, and talks here about … … “the age when sound had perspective and seemed three-dimensional”. … Nick Drake's confidence and his guiding lights - eg the Beach Boys and Randy Newman (“who I'd never heard of”). And his final nighttime sessions. … the way Fairport recorded – “We're only going to do it once” – and why they could make three albums a year. …managing the girls in the Incredible String Band, “especially when Licorice played drums”. … John Cale in “maniac mode” and his sudden and unexpected friendship with Nick Drake. … Cale and Nico at the Chelsea Hotel. … and why ‘Geoff Muldaur Is Having A Wonderful Time' was the job he remembers the fondest. Also mentioned: the Downliners Sect, Judy Collins, The Marmalade, Graham Gouldman and Squeeze. John's got nothing to plug and just wanted to talk to us.

On Monday June 3, 2024, a new memorial plaque commemorating African American mezzo-soprano Vera Little (10 December 1928 – 24 October 2012) was unveiled at her former residence in Berlin's Charlottenburg neighborhood. Little is remembered today as the first Black singer to appear as Carmen on the stage of Berlin's Städtische Oper, soon to be renamed the Deutsche Oper Berlin. At the time of that appearance there were cries and protests about her hiring instead of an “equally capable” German singer. And yet, when Little returned to the stage of the Deutsche Oper in 1963, now singing the role of Amneris, she became one of the central singers in the ensemble of that company, being named a Kammersängerin there in 1970. This episode examines the life and career of Vera Little, from her birth in Memphis through her decades-long residence in Berlin. It is a fascinating, circuitous path, and one which is documented only sporadically on recording. On this episode, I play excerpts from Little's only solo recording, a 1957 Decca records release of spirituals recorded in France, as well as her recordings on Deutsche Grammophon of Der junge Lord by Hans Werner Henze, and Richard Strauss's Daphne. In addition, there are live recordings of Little singing Baba the Turk in Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, Giovanna Seymour in Donizetti's Anna Bolena, and Beroe in Henze's Die Bassariden, which Little created in its 1966 world premiere at the Salzburg Festival. Vera Little was also an author, who published four books of memoir and poetry, and just yesterday I obtained a copy of her first book, 1978's Tears in My Eyes, from which I read a number of excerpts. I had known Little's name for decades, but had never fully explored her legacy before. It is here (and on an accompanying bonus episode) my honor and privilege to present a great (and somewhat forgotten) artist for your delectation. Today's vocal guest stars include Kostas Paskalis, Hilde Güden, Anneliese Rothenberger, and Teresa Żylis-Gara. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.
