New studio album by ELLIOTT MURPHY – Infinity
Where do you go after a 50-year career in music and as many albums? I suppose INFINITY is the answer and thus the title of my 52nd (I think) album, which will be released as a limited edition CD on March 7, just in time for my tour of France/Belgium/Spain, and Italy (via Cruise ship). It’s my first studio album of original songs since Wonder (2023) and in this very recent family of songs, I tried to peer into the future while being grounded in the icons of my youth all wrapped in a diverse genre-defying musicality. Hopefully, it’s a personal collection that will appeal to the universal musical collective consciousness. That’s been my modus operandi since my debut album, Aquashow (1973).
INFINITY was produced, arranged, and mixed by Gaspard Murphy, and all songs (except “Count My Blessings,” co-written by Olivier Durand) were written by me in a surprising flurry of creative activity last year. The album was recorded nearby at Murmure studio in Paris with contributions by my musical partner for 29 years, virtuoso guitarist Olivier Durand, violinist Melissa Cox, and percussionist Alan Fatras with double-bassist Gerard McFadden on one track. Keyboards, electric bass, drum programming, and additional instrumentation were all handled by Gaspard Murphy and myself.
I’m convinced that inspiration comes in unpredictable waves, and there’s no telling when new songs, complete with melodies, rhythm, and lyric fragments, will start crashing onto the shore of my unconsciousness. But the trick is to just get on board when they do and don’t let them loose until done. Last year, I was in the grip of just such a mania and made a decision to write a song a day, which proved impossible, but fortunately, that leveled out to about a song a month, which was well within the capacity of my creative output. In some fashion, INFINITY takes on the form of a novel with songs replacing chapters and characters both past, present, and future, dancing hand in hand with a „ghostly rhythm partner…“

Due to big demand – another bunch of customer recommendations!
For many years, actually since the beginning of Blue Rose Records and our mailorder service, we have been receiving tips from our customers and friends about including CDs in the mail order program. We liked to do that every now and then, but we had previously integrated these recommendations into the “normal” program. From now on we will list customer recommendations separately, as these CDs do not always be brand new titles. And we will only be able to recommend CDs that can supplied by wholesalers or distributors. And yet quantities are limited, so please don’t wait too long if you’re interested. Then let’s get started today – have fun and THANK YOU for the tips!

Keep On Chooglin‘ series continues with # 37 !
The Keep On Chooglin‘ series is inspired by such great compilations as Country Got Soul, Delta Swamp Rock and Country Funk. However, this little compilation came about when series compiler Reinhard Holstein was listening to “Across The Great Divide – Getting It Together In The Country 1968-1974” – a 3-CD box set that offers 64 artifacts from the first era of British country rock. The best of these tracks find a new home on “Keep On Chooglin’” #37. Then other tracks from bands from the box and some that can’t be found on this compilation.
After the Summer of Love in 1967, much of the USA changed from psychedelia to country rock. Bob Dylan started with “John Wesley Harding” (1967), The Band released “Music From Big Pink” (1968), and “Sweetheart of The Rodeo” by The Byrds came out the same year. In 1969, Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Flying Burrito Brothers debuted their first albums. And even the Grateful Dead moved to the country with “Workingman’s Dead” (1970). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. All of these publications had a profound influence on what happened in the United Kingdom afterwards.
