Listen To Jim Burroughs Bring The Revolutionary War To Life With His NewAlbum Release

Los Angeles, California – It is not an easy task to bring history to life through music. It takes someone as musically sound as Jim Burroughs to achieve that. Jim is a composer, musician and vocalist, as well as a documentary filmmaker who considers himself a storyteller. His musical style is inclined towards country folk-blues that he often mixes with equal parts of world music and jazz.

Jim has come out with the newly remastered album, “Songs of the Revolution.” The album currently has 17 songs, with five brand new tracks. Each song pertains to a specific event that has historical significance in the context of the American Revolutionary War. He wanted to use music to teach young listeners and to remind older listeners of the decisions and actions of iconic leaders like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, who dedicated their lives to securing freedom for all. Jim pairs a ballad-style score with poetic lyrics to invoke feelings of patriotism.

Jim has also produced historical documentaries like “Shadow Of Afghanistan” and “The Eighteenth Century Woman,” and were nominated for numerous awards. He gained recognition when his documentary, “Against Wind and Tide: A Cuban Odyssey,” was nominated for an Oscar. Apart from directing the documentaries, Jim also uses his musical talent to compose scores for his docu films and series.

“Songs of the Revolution” is a collection of amazing American Revolution ballads that take listeners back in time, creating an aura of colonial and revolutionary life with his country folk, and folk blues style. His narrative approach to every song he writes is melodic enough for listeners to lose themselves in the hymns and the story.

Happy Curmudgeons Make Way for “2nd Chances” With New Single

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000

#contemporaryfolk New Rock Single Out September 27; New Album Out Early 2020

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Grand Blanc, Michigan – September 11, 2019 – Happy Curmudgeons are well, more than happy to announce the release of the lead single from their upcoming 2020 release, “2nd Chances.”

Written by their own Amy Dixon-Lavery and Dave Hamilton, “2nd Chances” was then produced by none other than the Bob Seger Band’s Mark Byerly who also did the string arrangement as well. Alongside those three heavy hitters were a handful of other talents from the Bob Seger Band; Jim “Moose” Brown (B3 organ), and Laura Creamer, Barbara Payton, and Cathleen Wiley on backing vocals. Rounding out the myriad of skilled performers found on this track are Detroit legend and award-winner Takashi Iio (bass), Rick Beamon (drums), David Patton (violin), and Chaz Oswley (cello).

Almost a dozen musicians in all came together under the guidance of Byerly to make this song come to life and it shows. A great lead single, “2nd Chances” is a sample of what’s to come from their classic meets folk rock sophomore album that’s slated to drop in early 2020. It’s the highly anticipated followup to 2017’s Meant to Be. An album fans of everyone from Bob Dylan to the late Jerry Garcia would appreciate and hold dear. Bringing the beauty of classic rock back to the masses has been the name of the game for Happy Curmudgeons since they came to be in 2015.

Those interested in adding new music to their classic or folk-rock playlists, reviewing the new album when available, or interviewing the Happy Curmudgeons can reach out via the information below.
