Oasis' new album, (What's The Story) Morning Glory, is slated to be released October 3. Co-produced by Owen Morris and lead guitarist Noel Gallagher, the album consists of 13 tracks. Although the recent U.K. smash "Some Might Say" is included here, their hit "Whatever" is not, leaving American fans to glean this one from import racks.
The band will begin a headlining U.S. tour in early October, starting in Florida. The current U.K. single is "Roll With It"; the leadoff American single is "Morning Glory". Songs such as "She's Electric" and "Morning Glory" nick influences from the Beatles, while "Hello" has a Gary Glitter-swiped ending.
Patti Bowman has started a website devoted to all independent labels which have compact disc releases. People who are interested in checking it out, at http://www.elwood.com/ants , might see a jazzy blues player named H.M. Johnson - although all types of independent music are welcome.
Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders' next tour, in support of their forthcoming Unplugged-style album, will also be an acoustic outing. They will be accompanied by a string quartet as well.
Chrissie and Urge Overkill's Nash Kato have recorded another track as Superfan (they sang "Superstar" on the soundtrack to Wayne's World 2). Not a cover this time, the song was written especially for a save-the-children project in South America - the only place the song is planned for release - and the pair are duetting in Spanish.
Almost 20 years after the project's inception, Patti Palladin is currently at work on an album of Rolling Stones' covers. Patti started the project by recording "The Singer Not The Song" back in the '70s, but for various reasons the album was shelved. Chrissie Hynde has also recorded a vocal on the album.
