Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart (2006 Indie Release)

This is for the Melody Gardot lovers and collector's out there. Back in 2005 Melody began recording "Worrisome Heart" and in 2006 was releasing it independently on awarestore.com and at her live shows. Below is the version that was released independently. The front artwork and track listing are different. You'll also note that there are 2 additional songs, left off of the Verve label release (Wicked Ride and My World a hidden bonus track). Rather than post the hidden track as is on the CD (connected to Twilight after several minutes of silence) I have split the two tracks. The hidden track has yet to surface online anywhere and it took me a while to track down the CD as I had loaned it out before she hit the "big time" and finding the 2006 indie release again was a bit tricky. Enjoy!!

VV Brown Vanessa Brown Back To The Music Promo

At 18, Brown was invited to an open audition for VH1 divas by friends and was stopped outside the venue by an executive from London Records. Brown was offered a development deal by London records. The development soon came to an end and, at 19, Brown was offered a deal by Polydor records in the UK and A&M records in the US. Her debut single was "Whipped".

She relocated to Los Angeles to work on her debut album Back To The Music. In preparation she performed at LA's Mint Club. A five track promo CD was released to executives but the album was then shelved.

'Back To The Music' which was set to be released in the UK in 2006 was executive produced by Ron Fair - the man who discovered Christina Aguilera and turned Black Eyed Peas into multi-million sellers by A&Ring their Elephunk album. Vanessa wrote almost every track on the album. Some were written in Northampton when she was still a pre-teen.

In preparation Vanessa performed to a packed crowd in LA's Mint Club where she showcased songs from 'Back To The Music' to the US music industry in mid 2005. A five track promo CD was released to executives but the album was then shelved and has not been released to date. The tracks on the unreleased Promotional album were "Whipped", "Nobody Loves Me", "Dangerous Love", "Back To The Music", and "Calling Out Your Name". Six other known tracks from these recording sessions are "Eternal Life", which is a b-side for the 2 track Whipped Single released in 2005, "Angel", "Imagination", "Loverboy", "Never The Less" and "Whatever It Takes" (which along with Whipped and Back To The Music were arranged with David Campbell). Clips of those 5 tracks have been found but not the full length versions to date. The hook for standout track 'Nobody Loves Me' was written when Vanessa was just 11 - it was recorded in West Hollywood a decade later.


Here .. for all you VV Brown/Vanessa Brown fans is that 5 Track Promo, including the B-side from the two track single. I hope you enjoy and please comment below if you download.

Pistol Annies: Hell On Heels -Single

So Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley have been two of my favorite country singer songwriters for a few years now. At the ACM Girls Night Out event they made their debut with Miranda Lambert in a trio called Pistol Annies. Below is there first single Hell On Heels.


Kicking off with a spare, almost sinister acoustic guitar before slowly layering in a light percussion line and a light bluesy electric guitar riff in the background, the Pistol Annies' first single, "Hell on Heels," is highly impressive. It rocks my socks and has me dying for a full albums worth of material.

Katrina Elam

This is due to all of the email requests for this album I get. It was shelved. Katrina is no longer with the company and no longer has control over these songs. If it ever does get released I'll take down my listing, until then there is no harm in sharing it for those fans of hers who are dying for "new" music. I'm also including her early demo album that got her signed. Enjoy and say thank you in the comments since this was a HIGHLY requested post. If I get enough comments on this I have about 3 albums worth of other demos by Katrina as well.
