Hank Williams Jr. will embark on his 2023 tour featuring Old Crow Medicine Show, starting Friday, May 12 at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Produced by Live Nation, the journey will also include stops in Tampa, Cincinnati, Irvine and more before wrapping up in Gilford at the Bank Of New Hampshire Pavilion on Saturday, Aug. 26.

As a touring artist, Williams Jr. has been a pioneer in bringing arena rock production values to country music. This past year, he continued to fuse country and rock with his most recent record Rich White Honky Blues, collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Dan Auerbach.

Tickets for the trek will go on sale Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com.

Peter Gabriel has unveiled the first song from his forthcoming album i/o.

Written and produced by Peter Gabriel, Panopticom was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London.   

“The first song is based on an idea I have been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe: The Panopticom,” says the singer. “We are beginning to connect a like-minded group of people who might be able to bring this to life, to allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on.”

Gabriel decided to release the song today (6 January) as it’s the first full moon of the year. The lunar phases will guide the release plan of i/o in 2023, with a new song revealed each full moon.  

“Some of what I’m writing about this time is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot,” he says. “A simple way of thinking about where we fit in to all of this is looking up at the sky… and the moon has always drawn me to it.’”

Each new release of music will come with a specific piece of art: “We’ve been looking at the work of many hundreds of artists,” says Gabriel, and Panopticom features the work ‘Red Gravity’ by David Spriggs.  

“It was the theme of surveillance that connected me with the work of David Spriggs because he’d done a piece relating to that,” says Gabriel. “David does this amazing stuff using many layers of transparencies so you get these strange creations with a real intensity to them. Part of what he does is imagine what art might look like a few years in the future and then try and create accordingly and I think he’s done that very successfully in this particular piece.”

As well as new music, Peter Gabriel will embark on a tour later this year.

Dates in the UK and Europe are already on sale, with shows on North America to be announced soon.

Tickets are available from livenation.com and petergabiel.com

Teenie Hodges responsible for many R&B Hits such as Al Green’s “Take me to the River” and many more.. Teenie Hodges along with many artists, such as Elvis, preferred head sessions. He was introduced and taught the studio approach called ‘Head Sessions’ by the great master Reggie Young. ‘Head Session’ keeps the music fresh by listening to the song and charting it out. Teeniie Hodges admired Reggie Young as the best. What is the Memphis Sound? Teenie explains the Memphis sound as a mixture of W.C. Handy, Little Walter and the delta blues and the important bass lines that Willie Dixon provided. Years later, the same question was asked of the Philadelphia sound. What is the Phillie Sound? The reply was very inspirational and impactful. The Philadelphia sound was a mixture of the Memphis Blues & New York Jazz. ~”Chitlins & Champagne” Motown was views as bubble gum by the industry and players.

“I’ll take a shot of “Chitlins & Champagne” with a Memphis sound chaser any day of the week” ~ FlipsideMediaET by David Moore
