MIKE TRAMP releases an atypical Christmas single – Pre-stream it exclusively on the Classic Rock Magazine website.
2013 has been an eventful year for the former White Lion and Freak of Nature front man MIKE TRAMP. Since the release of the praised semi-acoustic solo album “Cobblestone Street” in April, Mike has been touring constantly in all of Europe, Australia and in the states. This year alone he has been playing over a hundred shows!
To wrap up 2013 with manner Tramp will be releasing the Christmas single “The Way It Was Before”, which is lot more serious than most other Christmas songs. Mike Tramp explains:

”The Way It Was Before” is actually a song that I have kept for many years. The song would never have been written if it haven’t been for the events in New York City September 11th 2001, although it doesn’t mention what happened that day.
I experienced the tragedy from my home in Tasmania at the time and remember the emptiness and feeling of helplessness that I got. New York City had meant everything to me. It was where I went to live out my dream and where my American history began.
New York City was the city that I had called my home for many, many years. I even won a New York City Music Award as best rock singer. September 11th changed everything. Suddenly we all had to give up part of our freedom and learn to live with the chaos and the restrictions that came with it. At Christmas time that year I sat with my guitar, and it was there that the song came to me. A longing to return to the way that things used to be.”

Det hæderkronede Classic Rock Magazine har verdenspræmieren på den nye MIKE TRAMP julesingle ”The Way It Was Before”, som Target Group udsender d. 11/11.
Danmarks countrydronning Tamra Rosanes og den ukronede konge af kontrabas og kogebøger, Olsen – Den Skaldede Kok, har sammen med Danmarks dygtigste rock’n’ roll pianist, Morten Wittrock, skabt Rockabilly Heart. Det selvbetitlede Debutalbummet udkommer d. 4 november og kommer til at indeholde nogle af rockabilly- og rock ’n’ roll-genrens allerstørste hits.
De tre er netop hjemvendt fra en længere inspirationstur til rockabillys fødested og nuværende mekka, Memphis, Tennessee. Det blev til et visit i Sun Studios hvor stjerner som Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley og Jerry Lee Lewis startede deres karrierer. Tamra indspillede i den forbindelse en duet med den tidligere sangskriver og producer for Johnny Cash – Cowboy Jack Clement – som samtidig fungerede som tekniker i Sun Studios. Rockabilly Heart var derudover i studiet i Nashville med saxofonisten Jim Hoke, mundharpe-legenden Charlie McCoy og Garth Brooks guitaristen Chris Leuzinger. Under danske himmelstrøg har bl.a. Jens Runge samt Shubiduas Claus Asmussen og Peter Andersen bidraget til den kommende plade.
Tamra Rosanes kommer med et hav af guld- og platinplader, en Danish Music Award, samt en nyligt udgivet opsamlingsplade i forbindelse med hendes 40 års jubilæum. Hun sang country-genren til Danmark som blot 20-årig og har siden også taget initiativ til super-trioen Cowgirls, som hun dannede med Sanne Salomonsen og Lis Sørensen. Når Olsen – Den Skaldede Kok – ikke står bag gryderne, er TV-kok eller foredragsholder, har han haft travlt med sine to bands The Midnight Blues og Rock It. Olsen og Wittrock udgav i 2011, Rock Its støtteplade ”Rock It at Christmas”. Det foregik i samarbejde med blandt andre Mike Tramp, Kjeld Heick, Simon Jul og Alex Nyborg Madsen. Morten Wittrock har gennem tiden produceret og indspillet et væld af plader i både Danmark og USA, hvor hans seneste udgivelse med Jes Holtsø fik en Danish Music Award nominering, & prisen Årets Danske Blues Navn. Han har derudover været fast mand bag klaveret hos Amin Jensen og i Wittrock Band.
Rockabilly Hearts udkommer via Target Group d. 4. november.
