‘Bidin’ My Time’, produced by Tom Petty and executive-produced by Herb Pedersen, captures a rarity: an icon of Americn music who has never sounded better, making music with old friends for the sheer love of it.
The album kicks off with a recording of Pete Seeger’s and Welsh poet Idris Davies’ “The Bells of Rhymney,” which the Byrds recorded for their debut. “Here She Comes Again” was co-written by Hillman and McGuinn and, until now, had only been recorded on a live Byrds album in Australia. “She Don’t Care About Time” was written by Byrds co-founder Gene Clark, and was the original B-side to “Turn! Turn! Turn!” Covers of the Everly Brothers’ “Walk Right Back” and Petty’s “Wildflowers” round out this understated yet undeniable masterpiece.
Folk, rock and roll, bluegrass and the unmistakable country-rock Hillman himself helped pioneer come together seamlessly on the triumph that is ‘Bidin’ My Time’.

Marc Almond’s new album Shadows And Reflections features sumptuous arrangements of iconic torch songs and 60’s orchestral pop for which he is beloved, as well as two new original compositions. The release features songs written or recorded by artists such as Burt Bacharach, The Action, The Yardbirds, Bobby Darin, Julie Driscoll, Billy Fury and the Young Rascals. It thematically begins and ends in an apartment. “It’s about this guy that’s living in a luxury expansive glass apartment overlooking the city, filled with sculptures and beautiful things, an empty soulless shell, surrounded by absurd wealth,” Almond explains. “He is sitting alone and I imagine listening to this music, possibly the songs that make up this album. He’s rich in the bank but the poorest person you know.” 2017 cements the 60th Birthday year for the singer who the Observer noted, “has never stood still” and follows on the great success of his Top 10 album Hits And Pieces.

Southern-rock legend Leon Russell took his final bow last fall, but not before turning his storied talents to one last studio album. On a Distant Shore, which Russell spent his 74th and final year writing and recording, arrives Sept. 22 via Palmetto Records. The release will mark 10 months since Russell’s passing.
Russell, an inveterate performer, was still averaging 150 shows a year at the time of his death, after having spent more than half a century onstage and making an indelible impression on the music world. According to Russell himself, On a Distant Shore will make for a worthy career capper. “He said it was his favorite album he ever made,” said Leon’s wife, Jan Bridges. “He just loved it. He felt like everything clicked into place.”
The album is, per a press release, “a collection of new songs influenced by the timeless sounds of the Great American Songbook, with updated, road-tested arrangements of ‘Hummingbird,’ ‘A Song for You’ and ‘This Masquerade.’” “He was so prolific,” says co-producer Mark Lambert, a longtime friend and collaborator of Russell’s. “He was on a roll. There were days when he’d come into the studio and play something he’d written the night before, and he’d have the whole thing mapped out in his head already.”
On a Distant Shore will capture Russell not just as an artist at the height of his powers, but as a human being. “To me, he always remained a mystery to people outside his circle, but this album gave him a chance to show his emotions,” Jan revealed. “In the song ‘Just Leaves and Grass,’ you can hear him let out a real cry. That’s not faked. He was emotional, and he’d get that way at his show, too. On a Distant Shore is a great portrait of him. An accurate portrait.”

Musicologist Ken Braun, who for many years made African records available to us fanatics in the States via distribution by Sterns Music, sat in for a time as the “African Beat” columnist for The Beat. In this BOTB article published in 1992, he details the indispensable multivolume set of Congolese music spanning the early days of the evolution from rumba to the dawning of soukous, from the 1950s up to the ‘70s. Compiled by the Sonodisc label, the indispensable Merveilles du Passé (Wonders of the Past) series brought alive the beginnings of the music that became hugely popular not just in Congo/Zaire, but across many countries in Africa and Europe. You can find many of these titles downloadable on Amazon and elsewhere.
If you’ve become aware of the music of Franco and TPOK Jazz, or Tabu Ley Rochereau and Afrisa International through reportage here on Afropop, go deep and dig into the roots of the three eras of Congolese music history. Ken also provides a sidebar, “What Is Congo, Where is Soukous,” that explains the complicated back story of how the genre of soukous came to be named.
