To Drive The Cold Winter Away
''To Drive the Cold Winter Away'' is Loreena McKennitt's second album, released in 1987. It pays homage to her childhood memories of music for the winter season, the most vivid of which "came from songs and carols recorded in churches or great halls, rich with their own unique ambience and tradition." To capture that remembered ambiance, McKennitt kept the arrangements sparse, celebrating the beauty of simplicity. She also chose to leave the found sounds of life in the performances, which were recorded on location in churches and great halls: * The Church of Our Lady in Guelph, Ontario, Canada * Glenstal Abbey, A Benedictine Monastery near Limerick, Ireland * Annaghmakerrig (The Tyrone Guthrie Centre) in County Monaghan, Ireland Track listing # " In Praise of Christmas" (traditional) – 6:06 # "The Seasons" (traditional) – 4:55 # "The King" (traditional) – 2:04 # "Banquet Hall" (McKennitt) – 3:53 # "Snow" (Archibald Lampman, McKennitt) – 5:35 # "Balulalow" (traditiona ...

Live At The Garden (James Brown Album)
''Live at the Garden'' is a 1967 live album by James Brown and The Famous Flames. It was recorded on January 14, 1967 in the middle of a ten-day engagement at the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, New Jersey - Brown's first at an upscale nightclub.

Although ''Live at the Garden'' peaked at #41 on the ''Billboard'' album chart, it came to be overshadowed in Brown's catalog by his next live album, '' Live at the Apollo, Volume II'', recorded later the same year and released in 1968. In 2009 Hip-O Select released a 2-CD Expanded Edition of ''Live at the Garden''. In addition to the contents of the original LP, it included additional, overdub-free live recordings from Brown's Latin Casino engagement, along with the "Let Yourself G ...

The King (Teenage Fanclub Album)
''The King'' is the second album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, deleted on its day of release in 1991. The album is often derided as a hastily assembled contractual obligation to US label Matador (allowing the group to sign to Geffen without penalty). In 2020, Matador co-owner Gerard Cosloy confirms that ''The King'' was pitched to the label as the second release, but passed, saying it felt more like a contractual obligation fulfillment than a real album. However the group have denied this, claiming that the shambolic, spontaneous nature of the contents was a direct influence of producer Don Fleming, whose music was often improvised. "One night we all got completely wasted. ... and we said, "Let’s make a LP overnight. We’ll just improvise some songs and do some covers and cobble it all together", Norman Blake said in 2016. In a 2006 interview, Blake and Brendan O'Hare confirmed that the album had been recorded immediately after completing ''Bandwagonesq ...
