Inside Recordings proudly announces the upcoming release of longtime Los Angeles music legend Jorge Calderón’s two singles “Blue City” and “On Mardi Gras Day.”
This new solo material will be made available on Inside Recordings, the independent label founded by Jackson Browne and released globally and distributed by ADA and ADA Global. The songs will be issued in a bundled release on September 6, 2011, through the Inside Recordings online store.
Both tunes feature Jorge on vocal, guitar and bass, Ry Cooder on slide guitar, Luis Conte on percussion and Don Heffington on drums. “On Mardi Gras Day,” John Thomas sits in on Hammond organ. Calderón produced, while Jackson Browne served as executive producer.
Jorge is a Grammy-award-winning musician, vocalist, songwriter and producer. Calderón produced and co-wrote the late Warren Zevon’s 2003 project “The Wind,” which received five 2004 Grammy nominations (including “Song of the Year” for “Keep Me In Your Heart”) and two wins — “Best Contemporary Folk Album” and “Best Rock Vocal Performance, Duo or Group” for “Disorder In The House,” Zevon’s duet with Bruce Springsteen.
“Blue City” and “On Mardi Gras Day” are the first two tracks to come out, and each has its own take on a slice of urban America. “Blue City” is a gritty blues-grooved elegy about hard times, vanishing jobs, and plants shutting down. “On Mardi Gras Day,” while inspired by the tragedy of Katrina, is upbeat with a Meters vibe, celebrating memories of the city, and rejoicing at the thought of returning for a future celebration.
Fans can listen to “Blue City” and “On Mardi Gras Day” which are streaming through SoundCloud now. For more information on Jorge as well as his upcoming release, be sure to check out his official site, www.jorgecalderon.net.
