Yeah, You!
By: The Rare Sounds
Musical Style: Jazz-funk, 70's Jazz Funk
Musical Influences: Ronnie Foster, Larry Young, Chester Thompson
Musical Inspiration: I wrote this song a few years ago and have tried it with various groups before it finally clicked with this group. It’s about forward motion. It’s inspired by 1970’s jazz funk and early fusion. I’m interested in 70’s fusion before things got slick and the edges and dissonance were smoothed over to make it more commercial. It’s like modal jazz with a funky beat. I was trying to capture a certain urgency and feeling of psychedelic possibility.
Artist Statement: This came together quickly and easily. We recorded this towards the end of the session and put it down in one or two takes. Although it’s a new group we have all played together in different configurations over the years and have an automatic chemistry and musical short-hand. Everyone gets all the references and shares a common language and love for the traditions of the music.

Almost There
By: A.J. Fullerton
Musical Style: Country, Blues, Roots Rock
Musical Influences: Ry Cooder, Blake Mills
Track Description: AJ Fullerton narrates working through the struggle to find identity and purpose in “Almost There.” Fullerton’s easy-going slide guitar roots rock proves him to a leading voice to carry the torch of greats such as Ry Cooder and Blake Mills and demonstrates his well-earned accolades of winning several Colorado Blues Society Members’ Choice Awards. On the recommendation of his Denver music colleagues Eric Halborg and Cole Rudy of Dragondeer, Fullerton worked with Eddie Roberts at Color Red Studios to produce a 4-track EP with “Almost There” coming out of the gate as the lead single.

Tulum
By: Brothers of Brass
Musical Style: New Orleans Brass Band, Marching Band
Musical Influences: Rebirth Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band, Big 6 Brass Band
Track Description: “Tulum” by Brothers of Brass was composed on the spot at Color Red Studios with each musician improvising to arrange their parts in real-time. Bandleader Khalil Simon spent a bulk of time in Tulum during COVID and as the parts gelled together, it reminded him of the music he’d hear down there. The band’s bombastic brass band-fueled arrangements mirror the style of iconic ensembles such as Rebirth Brass Band and Hot 8 Brass Band and the tune is supercharged with Latin and Cuban-influenced melodies reminiscent of Arturo Sandoval. “Tulum” is the group’s second single off of their upcoming full-length record ‘Street Life Volume 1’ coming out on Color Red in September 2021.

You've Been Cheatin'
By: Omar Coleman , Eddie Roberts
Omar Coleman may come from Chicago, touted as ‘Home of the Blues’ but when you put his third Color Red single “You’ve Been Cheatin’” in a musical centrifuge, you extract a multitude of depth within classic blues themes. With Eddie Roberts producing the track, there are extracted elements of Daptone-esque horn lines, guitar riffs and organ stabs tastefully placed throughout, and a viscous layer of strings pads to contrast the rhythmic particles present throughout the composition. Coleman’s harmonica wails and tell-it-like-it-is vocals call out a lover’s infidelity and demand the truth be told in a precursor to his full-length album ’Strange Times,’ coming out via Color Red in early 2022.

Lake Country
By: Apollo Suns
Musical Style: Jazz, Chill-out, Modern Jazz, Jam Band
Musical Influences: The Allman Brothers Band, Dr lonnie Smith, Gil Scott Heron, Kamasi washington
Track Description: Winnipeg Canada’s Apollo Suns step boldly into their Color Red debut with the harmonically rich “Lake Country.” While on tour in 2018, the band found themselves with an unexpected day off after a canceled performance in a small town called Lake Country. In Lake Country, there was a small studio overlooking a beautiful lake that set the scene for the band to set up and record for the day. In a similar fashion to Kamasi Washington’s score for the Michelle Obama documentary ‘Becoming,’ the nostalgic four-bar phrasing and minimalistic, emotive chords paint a picture of an incidental moment of time rather than a start-to-finish track. This moment of time represents the band’s love letter to one of their favorite places in their second home of British Columbia, Canada written for the lake, the wind, and nature.

Be The Change
By: FUTURENOT
Musical Style: Hip-hop, Jazz, Funk | Soul | Jazz
Musical Influences: Cannonball Adderley, Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, Lenny Pickett
Track Description: This is the first song Jason and Peter wrote together. The song is based around a simple melody in the horns but truly features the rhythm section, not just in the intro and solos but in how they create this amazing vibe and context for the melody. It's the feel-good, feeling fine listening track, and you can hear the strong influence of Nat & Cannonball Adderley at play. The song follows the horn section throughout the tune as they play off each other's vibrations, both melodically and rhythmically. The perfect song for celebrations, summer drives with the windows down and family living room dance parties.

Golden
By: Brothers of Brass
Musical Style: New Orleans Brass Band, Marching Band
Musical Influences: Rebirth Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band, Big 6 Brass Band
Track Description: Brothers of Brass take on Jill Scott’s “Golden” and bring it to epic proportions with a larger-than-life southern university marching band arrangement. That sound is translated into New Orleans Brass Band style and swagger with screaming trumpet leads, brazen trombone slides, perfectly balanced call-and-response sections and standout solos by Armando Lopez on soprano saxophone and Scott Flynn on trombone. ‘Golden’ is the lead single off of the group’s upcoming full length album ’Street Life’ coming out on Color Red in fall 2021.

Southern Star
By: Alex Dunn
Musical Style: Folk, Folk song, Indie folk, Singer-Songwriter, Americana, Singer-songwriter
Musical Influences: Townes Van Zandt, M. Ward, My Morning Jacket, Michael Nau, Andrew Bird
Musical Inspiration: The music for this track was inspired by the sea. There is a sense that the song is rolling along through the ocean, a dark night time ocean, the drums like water slapping against the hull of a boat, and the thematic melodies playing through like gentle white-capped waves in the moon light.
Lyrical Inspiration: The lyrics for Southern Star were inspired by the thought of lying in my bunk aboard an old wooden fishing vessel, from my first few years working up in Southeast Alaska. I would stare up at the Universe, listening to the sounds of the boat going up and down, creaking so loud yet comforting, it was as though the boat were breathing in and out with each heave over every wave. My dreams would be filled with visions of the ocean, and I would look to the south and imagine a not too distant future, where I would return home after a long summer's work to so much promise and potential. To a new sense of freedom. My Southern Star was my guiding light.

Mind On My Heart
By: Max Kaplan & The Magics
Musical Style: Pop soul, Rock and roll, Americana
Musical Influences: Being based in Memphis, everything we do has something to do with the long lineage of fantastic music that came from this town. Soul, country, rock n roll, jazz- it's all here. When we picked the instrumentation, the beat, the guitar tone, we were always wondering, "What would Hi Rhythm do?" or "What would they have done at Stax?" Obviously, our sound is different than theirs, but that's where a huge portion of our influence comes from.
Lyrical Inspiration: Mind on My Heart is about finding the time and energy to support your relationships while building yourself up. It's easy to forget about people you love when you're caught up in working every day, or focusing on a big project (like an album haha).
Artist Statement: This is the new Memphis Music.

Patient Boy
By: Dragondeer
Musical Style: Blues rock, Rock and roll, Alt-Soul, Funk blues, Blues funk
Musical Influences: The Rolling Stones, Bill Withers, Khruangbin, Black Keys, Black Pumas, Freddie King
Musical Inspiration: The music for this track started with a simple a chord progression I had been messing with for a few weeks..I wanted to take a pretty traditional blues progression and add some funky licks between chords to link them and have the progression have more of a looped feel. After a late night out on the town in Denver I sat down with an acoustic at 3AM and strummed the progression and all the words just spilled out. I quickly made an iphone message recording to remember the words and fell asleep. I woke with the acoustic on my chest and a vague recollect of coming up with words to a new song...and there it was on the iphone with all the lyrics in full that you hear on the final mix. We took that skeletal framework and played with feels in the rhythm section of Carl on drums , casey on bass, and Will trask on percussion...that sped it up and added proper shake to the whole thing and then Casey Russel came down to the studio and added some sweet organ passes and the whole track came alive with Maestro Eddie on the mix
Artist Statement: Patient Boy is a classic power of collaboration creation. Dragondeer's core four combined forces with Will Trask (High Hawks) on percussion and Casey Russel (Magic Beans) on Organ all run through an analog tape machine and mixed and tonally crafted by Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds). The combined alchemy has a sound that shimmy and shakes with some classic Alt soul thunder.
Lyrical Inspiration: The gist of the song lyrically is about having patience in the midst of life's trials and challenges. In layman's terms: how many shit sandwiches I gotta eat to just live a semi free life? how many times I gotta be told no or that what I'm doing ain't right or be abandoned by a family member or business connection in life? How much bullshit do I gotta listen to from experts, authority figures, or just day to day interactions before I am free from it? I'm guessing the answer is a ton and it's never ending ahaha but that's ok cause I got patience for it and as they say "c'est la vie...such is life"

Neighbour

Completing this tune has been a very long process. First written in 2019, tracked while on tour in LA in 2019, and due for release through CR as part of our 2020 tour thanks to the impact of Covid it's now over a year delayed.....
We really love the message of the tune, and get a great response when playing it live.
Recording it with our old friend Jim Scott in LA was another great experience given we had the entire band set up tracking simultaneously....everything was effectively live and Jim directed the whole thing ultimately picking the take.

Could I Have This Dance
By: Sundae + Mr. Goessl
Musical Style: Classic country, Country, Dreamy Exotica, Western swing
Musical Influences: Madeleine Peyroux, Willie Nelson
Artist Statement: Wayland Holyfield, a prominent country music songwriter and record artist, was in his office playing songs with Bob House, who Holyfield said he has taken under his wing after learning they had both come from Arkansas.
House was playing a song when a verse that he sang caught Holyfield’s attention. House sang along the lines “Could I have this dance forever?” or something similar. Holyfield immediately thought House was on to something.
Then, like a light bulb switched on, a line went through Holyfield’s mind—” Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?” That exact line hooked listeners and became the foundation of the song.
Holyfield and House went on and wrote some more lines until the song, in its entirety, was finished. Anne Murray, a Canadian country music artist, recorded the song and released it in August 1980 as a single.

For Once In My Life
By: Sundae + Mr. Goessl
Musical Influences: Stevie Wonder, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Elis Regina, Joao Gilberto, Melody Gardot
We originally arranged this as a gift from a husband to his wife and we took the samba route and ran with it! The percussionist, Mike Underwood, really elevated the sound with the "Carnivale" style beats.
We are inspired by our community and when we get requests like this one, we take them to heart. When we started recording this, we had the idea for it to be a straight samba, but after hearing percussionist Mike Underwood's take on the drums we were SO inspired and we feel delighted that the overall sound came out to be a blend of NOLA's Mardi Gras and Brazil's Carnival.

Sugaree
By: Backbeat Underground
"In the spirit of other Color Red releases, we recorded everything but for a few overdubs live in studio. I wrote out this arrangement a week or two before the session and sent it to Sir Joe Quarterman, a legend in his own right and part of DC's often overlooked musical firmament. I think he had no idea what to make of it! But on the day in the studio, with no rehearsal, he found the groove and we all had to just smile when the first words popped out.
This was a true DC musical moment - a collaboration between a hall of famer and the city's extant musical all-stars.
We were all overjoyed to be part of this musical conversation with a tradition that's usually overshadowed by this city's less interesting reputation. "

Mouse Hunt
By: Photon
This song is a tale of a mouse who is comfortable in his house, but is then pursued by a predator. The different sections of the song reflect the state of mind of the rodent depending on what its going through. Going into the studio with this band is something we are always excited about because we are typically a long form improvisation experience. This studio session gave us a chance to define for ourselves what the true essence of the composition was, and be able to shape it for a recording that is concise and accurate.

Glow Worm
By: Photon
Musical Style: Jazz, Jazz fusion, 70's fusion jazz, Swing, Synth Jazz
Musical Influences: Snarky Puppy, Pat Metheny, Steve Swallow
Musical Inspiration: This track is based in the same environment as mouse hunt, but while mouse hunt is on the ground, glow worm is in the air and in the trees. This track goes through the circadian cycle of day and night where the worm and it's friends are care free and essentially swinging through life during the day and become literally illuminated at night thus creating their own celebrations and means for inspiration merely by existing
Artist Statement: I wanted to write a waltz to pay homage to all of my ECM heroes like Steve Swallow and Pat Metheny along with sections similar to the vein of Snarky Puppy as well. The day time sections are happy, bouncy, waltzy and controlled, where as the night sections more randomness and more colorful effects highlighted through percusion bursts and echo keyboards. I want the listener, just as in Mouse Hunt, to be inside the perspective of the animal and to experience what it sees and feels as it goes through life.

Cosmic Funk
By: Emmaculate
We here at Red Night Recordings are very excited for our first original track release by none other than Chicago's own Emmaculate.
Growing up on the outskirts of Chicago, Emmaculate aka Eric Welton was exposed to the sounds of House Music in the late 80's as a young teenager. Eric was nicknamed Emmaculate as a play on words because of his immaculate attention to detail and quality. 2017 marked the year that Emmaculate began releasing music as an artist himself. His break out single, ""Do It"" ft. vocalist Kaye Fox, was released on Terry Hunter's T's Box Records and reached the top 10 Soulful House chart on Traxsource. He has gone on to become one of the most important House Music producers in the scene today.
As its title suggests, “Cosmic Funk” is a groovy, spacey, uptempo disco-funk journey to the center of the dancefloor, with ethereal synths and organs anchored by a driving bassline that will take you to the outer reaches of the groove.

Track Description: Side B from the vinyl 45. The White Blinds bring their "homage" to this Rusty Bryant classic. Rolling the tempo back a notch, Duffy and Frank set the stage holding it down for Hornbeck’s swampy guitar melody. The tone is further set for Frank’s organ solo which he blazes in classic White Blinds fashion and just when you think it’s coming back to the melody, we are dropped into a solid open drum solo with Michael Duffy fanning the flames to bring us all the way home.

You Can't Fool Me
By: Marble Eyes
Musical Style: Funk Rock, 70's Funky Soul, Pop soul
Musical Influences: Steely Dan, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Otis Redding, Tower of Power
Musical Inspiration: Written by Max Chase. This one is a short sweet and really fun song. Max already had the form for it and the band added a funky groove and hook into the mix that changed the feel into a funky soul vibe.
Artist Statement: An older tune of mine, 'You Can't Fool Me' has found new life in Marble Eyes and features an all new guitar and bass melody during each chorus. I've spent a lot of time in bands over the years and really appreciate how this tune came out with the collaboration of the full band.
Lyrical Inspiration: A funky tune about trust in a relationship. These folks aren't doing too well in that department it seems... But who's really fooling who?

Musical Style: Soul/R&B/Funk, Pop, Hip-Hop
Musical Influences: Stevie Wonder, Prince, Anderson .Paak, Louie Armstrong, Jack Harlow
Musical Inspiration: We wanted a song that was upbeat and in the pocket. Something like a song you could walk around feeling inspired yet relaxed.
Artist Statement: Have you ever wanted to just vibe out to a hip hop song but you're not feeling the aggression and edge that an in-your-face hip hop track has to have? Try out this track. It gives you the perfect balance of relaxed, in the pocket feel, but with a punch of bleeding, swagged out hip hop.
Lyrical Inspiration: New age hip-hop with a relaxed yet still very swaggy feel. We believe in ourselves, and we're about to take off. There's a lot of haters, but they ain't bringing us down.

Clouds
By: NOA
The making of "Clouds" really was a leap of faith. From start to finish, track and music video, it all just came together in a way that no other piece of art I've ever made has. It was thoroughly spontaneous. While it was being built it had this essence of "don't forget to have fun, to be playful, it's ok to take up space, just go for it" and so I just listened to that and let go of wanting it to be perfect. Watching and listening back to it now the message really hits.

Warm Nights
By: Lucas de Mulder , Eddie Roberts
This song is heavily influenced by Fancy, a song by The New Mastersounds. I spent a whole summer listening to this song in a compilation I made for my car. This song reminds me a lot of good times. So that summer, which was especially hot, I wrote Warm Nights, a reggae song. When I wrote the song I knew it would be very cool to do it with two guitars. For this Eddie is the perfect partner. Chris, Nate and Alejandro put in the rest to get the song to flow very naturally and stable.

Neutral Ground (feat. Big Chief Gerald Paige)
By: Green Buddha
Green Buddha collaborated with New Orleans luminary Big Chief Gerald Page of the Great Spirit Warriors Mardis Gras Indian Tribe and youth empowerment movement in the track “Neutral Ground.” The lyrics come from a deep place for vocalist/guitarist Seth Strickland as he recalls moving from Colorado to New Orleans in winter 2016 after an emotional ride of leaving his old band, his old partner, and a 5-acre farm to start a new beginning. In New Orleans, Strickland found himself adopted by the iconic venue Maple Leaf Bar, clubhouse for Krewe of Oak. He spent almost every night soaking up the sounds of legends who hold residency on the stage such as George Porter JR and Johnny Vidacovich and getting in all the “vices” of clean living including crawfish boils and late night Yaka Mein. Alongside Strickland, Green Buddha is comprised of veteran musicians in the Colorado music scene/frequent Color Red collaborators Otis Lande (Euforquestra), and Jonny Jyemo (Jyemo Club) and new keyboardist Olivia Rebodello.

Patient Boy
By: Dragondeer
Musical Style: Blues rock, Rock and roll, Alt-Soul, Funk blues, Blues funk
Musical Influences: The Rolling Stones, Bill Withers, Khruangbin, Black Keys, Black Pumas, Freddie King
Musical Inspiration: The music for this track started with a simple a chord progression I had been messing with for a few weeks..I wanted to take a pretty traditional blues progression and add some funky licks between chords to link them and have the progression have more of a looped feel. After a late night out on the town in Denver I sat down with an acoustic at 3AM and strummed the progression and all the words just spilled out. I quickly made an iphone message recording to remember the words and fell asleep. I woke with the acoustic on my chest and a vague recollect of coming up with words to a new song...and there it was on the iphone with all the lyrics in full that you hear on the final mix. We took that skeletal framework and played with feels in the rhythm section of Carl on drums , casey on bass, and Will trask on percussion...that sped it up and added proper shake to the whole thing and then Casey Russel came down to the studio and added some sweet organ passes and the whole track came alive with Maestro Eddie on the mix
Artist Statement: Patient Boy is a classic power of collaboration creation. Dragondeer's core four combined forces with Will Trask (High Hawks) on percussion and Casey Russel (Magic Beans) on Organ all run through an analog tape machine and mixed and tonally crafted by Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds). The combined alchemy has a sound that shimmy and shakes with some classic Alt soul thunder.
Lyrical Inspiration: The gist of the song lyrically is about having patience in the midst of life's trials and challenges. In layman's terms: how many shit sandwiches I gotta eat to just live a semi free life? how many times I gotta be told no or that what I'm doing ain't right or be abandoned by a family member or business connection in life? How much bullshit do I gotta listen to from experts, authority figures, or just day to day interactions before I am free from it? I'm guessing the answer is a ton and it's never ending ahaha but that's ok cause I got patience for it and as they say "c'est la vie...such is life"

You Can't Fool Me
By: Marble Eyes
Musical Style: Funk Rock, 70's Funky Soul, Pop soul
Musical Influences: Steely Dan, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Otis Redding, Tower of Power
Musical Inspiration: Written by Max Chase. This one is a short sweet and really fun song. Max already had the form for it and the band added a funky groove and hook into the mix that changed the feel into a funky soul vibe.
Artist Statement: An older tune of mine, 'You Can't Fool Me' has found new life in Marble Eyes and features an all new guitar and bass melody during each chorus. I've spent a lot of time in bands over the years and really appreciate how this tune came out with the collaboration of the full band.
Lyrical Inspiration: A funky tune about trust in a relationship. These folks aren't doing too well in that department it seems... But who's really fooling who?

Tollbooth
By: Marble Eyes
Musical Style: Rock and roll, Alternative rock, emotion-driven rock n' roll
Musical Influences: Brian Eno, U2, OK Go, The Verve
Musical Inspiration: Written by Eric Gould. This song is inspired by rock bands who embrace an uplifting feeling through harmony and vocal melodies.
Artist Statement: Sometimes a song just comes to you. I was doing something else in my house one day and I got this feeling that I needed to pick up my bass. The groove, form and vocal melodies just poured out of me. The lyrics came quickly, which rarely happens for me. These are the moments that prove how we are vessels to the music and, if channeled in the right way, it just flows through you.
Lyrical Inspiration: This song was written during the pandemic and the lyrics carry the feeling of embracing the challenges of the world, fighting for a better tomorrow and recognizing that even in victory there is a toll to be paid.

Truth In Sound
By: Marcus Rezak
Truth in Sound features Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis, and Ray Paczkowski from the Trey Anastasio Band, plus Kalyan Pathak on world percussion and tabla. Over the course of 2020 I wrote, recorded, and produced Truth in Sound in the hopes of creating an album that has the power to heal through both music and lyric (hence the title).
