GUITAR LEGENDS
Jimi Hendrix’s distinctive guitar revolutionised the UK music scene when he arrived in London in 1966. His influential mix of blues rock and psychedelia in incendiary performances on everything from the Lulu TV show through to The Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock singled him out as a guitar legend and an exceptional showman whose self-penned songs and unique covers – from Dylan to 'The Star Spangled Banner' - elevated him as a spokesperson for an emerging generation. He lived in the fast lane, using his RnB, jazz and blues roots to create a stunning, unique sound, leaving behind a legacy of groundbreaking studio and live performances that remain truly inspirational.This limited edition fan pack includes previously unreleased recordings: Live 1968 Paris/Ottawa CD, Paris '67 colour-swirl vinyl, T-Shirt (Large), Poster, 4 postcards, 3 badges, iPod skin, 4 guitar picks, and an Access All Areas pass with a unique code to unlock exclusive Jimi Hendrix content online!

Neil Diamond & "Tree People out there!"
NEIL DIAMOND'S MUST HAVE ALBUM - Hot August Night, recorded in 1972 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, documents the epic showmanship of a Neil Diamond concert. Listeners will certainly get their money's worth. Diamond's best-loved songs stuff the two-disc, 25-track set list--the ubiquitous "Sweet Caroline", the infectious "Song Sung Blue", et al, plus versions of "Red Red Wine" and "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon", which he wrote, but were also hits for others. An energetic backing band and a full string section complement the singer's impassioned performances, and an encore medley of "Soolaimon" and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" brings the show to a fiery close. HOT AUGUST NIGHT remains one of Diamond's best-selling albums. Give it a listen and see why. Focus Music Shop Hot August Night
'Home Before Dark' sees legendary American singer/songwriter Neil Diamond team up with Rick Rubin, producer of his stripped back 2006 release '12 Songs'. More rhythmic in nature, the album sees Diamond return to his roots once again, creating an album of classic contemporary pop songs. Guest appearances come from the likes of Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines and The Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. Focus Music Shop Home Before Dark

LITTLE BIT COUNTRY - Voted Best Picture, Musical or Comedy at the recent Golden Globes - " Walk the Line" - From the mid-fifties when rock-and-roll exploded from a tiny studio in Memphis, Tennessee, 'Walk The Line' follows Johnny Cash's meteoric rise to fame, culminating with his emergence as the 'Man In Black' at his historic concert at Folsom Prison in 1968. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash, and both give jaw-dropping performances both on-screen and on the soundtrack. The soundtrack boasts trademark Cash gems including 'I Walk The Line', 'Ring of Fire', 'Folsom Prison Blues', and 'Cry Cry Cry'. Additionally, it also features performances by notable musicians including country/rock artist Shooter Jennings, son of legend Waylon Jennings, who portrays his father in the film; alternative rock and folk artist Jonathan Rice who plays Roy Orbison; and singer/songwriter Tyler Hilton who plays Elvis Presley.

NEIL YOUNG - ‘Greatest Hits’ is the definitive collection of Neil Young’s most-loved songs including ‘Cinnamon Girl’, ‘The Needle And The Damage Done’, ‘Heart Of Gold’, ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’ and ‘Harvest Moon’. The album also features Young’s best work with Crosby, Stills and Nash in the form of ‘Helpless’ and ‘Ohio’ and is a must have for anyone with even a passing interest in this legendary musician. 'Fork In The Road' is the raw, unpolished studio follow-up to Neil Young's eclectic 2007 release 'Chrome Dreams II'. Here the Canadian folk-rock pioneer returns to the production values of 2006's 'Living With War' - this time presenting a batch of car themed songs that often allude to the state of the economy. While much of the material here is delivered at a relentless pace, the pedal-steel fuelled ballad 'Light A Candle' is one of the album's finer moments. This edition includes a bonus DVD which features a powerful live take on the Beatles' 'A Day In The Life'. To buy "Fork in the Road" Visit Store. You can also download Neil Young Albums from iTunes here.

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS - Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues". On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is History! America's British Invasion may have included The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks and the Animals but in return the UK embraced Soul and Motown music with brilliant artistes like Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Wilson Picket, Otis Reading, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, Ike and Tina Turner, Percy Sledge, Jimi Ruthin, Aretha Franklyn, Otis Reading, The Temptations. The Soul Train had arrived and we loved the ride. 2009 marks the 50th Anniversary of Motown. Buy Motown 50 2CD Set. Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five continued the Motown tradition as Soul music lead the way to Funk, Reggae, Ska, Soul/RnB, Hip Hop and Rap. Keeping the "Soul Train" on the tracks is fledgling songstress Dionne Bromfield who at 13 years of age is bringing some of that 60s Motown style to a new generation. London-born soul singer Dionne Bromfield, whose sensational debut TV performance on Strictly Come Dancing introduced her as an exciting new talent, has her new Lioness Records single, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" released on December 21st. The single is a double A-side with Dionne's festive rendition of Christmas classic "I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus". Dionne is the first signing to five time Grammy winner Amy Winehouse's brand new label Lioness Records, and the single is taken from her recently released debut album "Introducing Dionne Bromfield".

NEXT BIG THING - Bombay Bicycle Club, Road to V Winners 2006. Following Road to V the band released two EPs and topped the indie charts, took time out to finish school and returned this summer with their debut album "I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose" released on Island records. The album was produced by Jim Abbiss (of Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian fame). Bombay Bicycle Club will round off a summer of stand out festival performances, with the release of new single 'Magnet' and a full UK tour. The 4-piece have announced a string of shows in September and October taking them around the country. This follows the unique "Tour For Lulu" (which saw them play at a ruined castle in Bolton and down a mine shaft in Devon), their spell binding Glastonbury performances and a sold out album launch show at The Garage, suggesting Bombay have very much established themselves as one of the hottest new tickets of the year.

Their eponymous debut album was produced by Oasis' prolific super-producer Dave Sardy, and arrives amongst a furore of industry hype. They are surprisingly also capable of genuinely reflective moments on songs such as 'What's Your Name' which seem to draw from Pete Doherty's more contemplative side."

"Back in the U.S.A., a young Bob Dylan had made his made his way on the now famous "Highway 61" to New York's Greenwich Village.

Bob Dylan breaks a five-year hiatus from the studio this August with his 44th album, 'Modern Times', 10-tracks recorded earlier this year with his touring band, including bassist Tony Garnier, drummer George G Receli, guitarists Stu Kimball and Denny Freeman plus multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron. 'Modern Times', the follow-up to 2001's critically acclaimed 'Love and Theft', includes such tracks as 'When The Deal Goes Down', 'Thunder On The Mountain', and 'Workingman's Blues', as well as the epic 'Spirit On The Water' and the nine-minute closer 'Ain't Talkin'. - Click here to buy Bob Dylan "Modern Times"
Together through Life - Bob Dylan Visit Store 'Together Through Life' is Bob Dylan's 33rd studio album in a career spanning five decades. Backed by his usual (and relentlessly touring) band of musicians, this record sees the legendary Dylan tackle more personal material than his last major release (2006's 'Modern Times'). 'Together Through Life' aligns more closely with Dylan's more introverted works, such as 'Blood On The Tracks' from 1975, and features guest appearances from Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos.
The Band - "In what just might be the finest rock & roll concert film ever, The Last Waltz celebrates the final performance by the Band (Rbbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm, and Garth Hudson). The show took place on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, at San Francisco's Winterland Arena--where the group had played their very first show more than 16 years before. In order to make their farewell even more unforgettable, they recruited numerous guests to join them onstage. They include Bob Dylan, Dr. John, Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Neil Young, Ringo Starr, Paul Butterfield, Ronnie Hawkins, and the Staples. Martin Scorsese, a former roommate of Robbie Robertson's, employs some of the world's greatest cinematographers--including Michael Chapman, Vilmos Zsigmond, and Laszlo Kovacs--to film the set in a way that captures the show's sweat and energy with a powerful intimacy. Interspersed into the songs are a series of interviews with the Band's members, who recall their early days playing for empty bars and their emergence as major players in the rock & roll game. THE LAST WALTZ is a thrilling concert film, mandatory viewing even for those unfamiliar with the Band or rock music in general. the Band" Buy The Last Waltz Box set Now
