Skip & Spike CD Release Party

CD Release Party for Skip Heller & Spike Sikes Sacramento
Saturday February 24, 2018 at 2:05pm
LA-based guitarist/singer-songwriter Skip Heller has teamed up with Sonoma County’s Spike Sikes on Wurlitzer & vocals for a stripped-down new disc entitled “Sacramento.” Featuring originals by both of them, as well as a deep cut by John Hartford, the duo explores American roots music, blues, jazz, country, and soul. They pay tribute to their musical heroes (everyone from Louis Armstrong to Willie Nelson) sounding like old friends trading stories about riverboats.

Holiday Hours and Gift Ideas

Saturday December 23, 2017 Open 10am to 8pm
Sunday December 24, 2017 Open 10am to 5pm
Monday December 25, 2017 CLOSED
Tuesday December 26, 2017 Open 10am to 8pm

Old, but prolific: Neil Young released 2 albums in 2017.
Hitchhiker is a solo acoustic studio album recorded on August 11, 1976 in Malibu.
Visitor is an album of new material recorded with Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real
They are both very cool.

Old, but prolific (Part 2): Van Morrison released 2 albums in 2017.
Versatile (his 38th solo album) came out in November 3 months after Roll With The Punches.
Both contain original songs, Versatile leans more toward pre-rock standards,
while Roll leans more toward a R&B and Blues sound.
They are both very cool.

New Archival Classic Rock:
Rolling Stones On Air is 32 classic tracks, recorded LIVE from performances on the BBC.
Yardbirds ’68 is 18 LIVE tracks that Jimmy Page recently discovered in his studio closet.
The 2nd disc is “studio sketches” of songs from that era. Jimmy has cleaned them up, and has fully endorsed the release.
They are both very cool.

Here are some more 2017 releases that we are fond of:
Bruce Cockburn Bone on Bone.
His last album was in 2011.
In that time, he wrote an autobiography, and moved to San Francisco with his wife and young daughter.

Another wisenheimer who felt it necessary to release 2 albums in 2017 is
Chris Stapleton. From A Room Volumes 1 & 2 are chocked full of great songs, very soulful and
beautifully recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A.

Mavis Staples: If All I Was Was Black

Hurray for the Riff Raff: The Navigator

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings: Soul of a Woman

Valerie June: The Order Of Time

FREE David Arkenstone’s Winter Fantasy Tickets and Gift Ideas

With an impressive career that includes more than 45 albums, 20 Billboard hits, film & TV soundtracks,
commercials and game scores, three-time GRAMMY®-nominee David Arkenstone has established
himself as one of the best contemporary instrumental musicians and composers of our time.
This visionary continues to create distinctive tracks that inspire the imagination.
A musical storyteller, David is passionate about taking his listeners on a journey, creating sonic tapestries that evoke every emotion.
I met David when he visited KRCB Radio 91 last week. He was impressed that Sonoma County supported an NPR radio station,
and an independent record store.
David Arkenstone and our friends at The Mystic Theater in Petaluma have generously offered 5 pairs of tickets to their special
Winter Solstice Concert, FREE to our Last Record Store friends, family and customers.
If you can attend this family friendly (and trippy) show, call us and claim your free tickets.
(707) 525-1963 to the first 5 callers. You will also get a copy of David’s latest CD at the show.
Happy Holidays !
