JimSullivan

Hot damn, as i’m sure all of you know by now, we are super excited about the upcoming release of the lost classic U.F.O. by Jim Sullivan. This reissue has been years in the making and on November 16th it will finally be unleased unto the world–for the first time ever on CD (and the first ever reissue on vinyl).

So with all this in mind, do pick up the December issue of Mojo Magazine where U.F.O. is given 5 stars and featured as the lead review in their reissue section! Very cool.

And if you’ve been paying attention, dear friends, you should know all about the Jim Sullivan Story, a short film made by Jennifer Maas (Wheedle’s Groove) about the truly haunting and bizarre story of Jim Sullivan and U.F.O.. Need reminding????  Here:

Here we are, just about one week before Jim Sullivan’s U.F.O. hits the street and the excitement has reached fever pitch! Last week, we reported that U.F.O. received a 5 star review (certified Mojo Classic) from Mojo Magazine in their December issue. And the love for Jim Sullivan just keeps coming (as it should!). We’re super excited to share even more reviews to look out for:

The Stranger gave U.F.O. a spin, and they had this to say:

LITA had to do a lot of traveling and sleuthing to manifest this record, and the label’s heroic efforts pay serious dividends. Like Rodriguez‘s Cold Fact, Sullivan’s U.F.O. deserves to become a cherished cult LP. It ought to become a touchstone from which Americana-enthralled musicians can draw inspiration for years to come.” Check out the full review HERE!

And don’t forget to pick up copies of the December issues of Q, Record Collector and the November issue of Shindig! All have great reviews of U.F.O., and the issue of Shindig! has a very nice full page review with pics!

Donnie & Joe Emerson “Dreamin’ Wild” CD/LP/Digital OUT NOW!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

“‘Baby’ has been a staple on just about every playlist/mixtape I’ve assembled in the past 3 years. It is nothing short of sublime.” – Ariel Pink

This is one of those LPs that helps one understand why people bother to even look for records to begin with. – Oliver Wang, Soul-Sides.com

Donnie & Joe Emerson’s hypnotic Dreamin’ Wild has been on heavy rotation here at MOJO. And rightly so. – MOJO Magazine

It’s official, available today the world over, Donnie & Joe Emerson’s Dreamin’ Wild, and is something special. In it, Donnie & Joe made an album that is a study in isolation and creativity. Originally released in 1979, Dreamin’ Wild is the sonic vision of the talented Emerson boys, recorded in a family built home studio in rural Washington State. Situated in the unlikely blink-and-you-missed-it town of Fruitland and far removed from the late 1970s punk movement and the larger disco boom, Donnie and Joe tilled their own musical soil, channeling bedroom pop jams, raw funk, and yacht rock.

For more info, check out the “What’s Inside” videos, as well as the short documentary Rock N Roll Farmers above, and be sure to pick up a copy at LightInTheAttic.net or your favorite purveyor of fine wax.
