HUGH DILLONWorks Well With Otherswww.hughdillon.comDist: Warner Music CanadaFor the past five years, the Kingston, Ontario native, who first gained acclaim in the '90s with his spit 'n' sneer chart-topping rock act The Headstones, Hugh Dillon has been growing into one of Canada's hottest and most in-demand television actors, earning accolades and industry acknowledgments for his gritty portrayals in programs such as the cop drama Flashpoint and the moody, cerebral, serial thriller Durham County. Well, now he's ready to return to the character he's most comfortable and at home in. Hugh Dillon. Musician. The 14 tracks on Works Well With Others, produced by the Tragically Hip's Paul Langlois in his band's Bathhouse Studio, showcase an individual and artist who's mature, confident and in control, and finally ready to express himself on his own terms.Watch the video "Friend Of Mine" here. CHANTAL KREVIAZUKPlain Janewww.chantalkreviazuk.comDist: Universal Music CanadaPlain Jane finds Chantal releasing music outside of the major label system for the first time in her career. “I was very happy at my label but it turned out that I didn’t know anyone there any longer. So much had changed,” she comments. No punches were thrown, no duels between lawyers. Kreviazuk simply started making a record of her own, not knowing where it would end up. “I didn’t even think about it. I knew everything would be fine.“ MapleMusic Recordings felt like the perfect home for Chantal, who is happy that she’s gotten to know just about everyone who works on her release. Plain Jane is a diverse album featuring Kreviazuk’s signature piano-driven songwriting that somehow maintains cohesion; a trick not many artists can pull off. The music is confident, positive, alive and exciting. Ever Chantal’s muse, many of the album’s love songs are surely written about husband Raine Maida, including the first single “Invincible”.Watch the video "Invincible" here.DEAD BY SUNRISEOut Of Asheswww.myspace.com/deadbysunriseDist: Warner Music CanadaYou know the voice.

Today, The Expos unleash their follow up full-length Blackwater. Filled with driving rhythms, haunting melodies and pop sensibilities, these eleven tracks bring their A game all the while staying true to their punk, rock and roots ethics.TERESA ENNISStarswww.teresaennis.caDist: Fontana NorthTeresa Ennis grew up in a home lled with music, singing and playing songs with her Mother, Father and two sisters. This lead her to a career in music as a member of The Ennis Sisters, a Juno award winning folk/roots group from St. John’s, Newfoundland. After 6 albums and ten years of touring internationally with her sisters, Teresa decided it was time to release her rst solo CD, Space. The album earned Teresa a 2008 Nova Scotia Music Award nomination for Best Female Artist with a Roots Showcase at the conference.

In the 1980’s his music and personality gained acknowledgement among a wide range of fans including folk enthusiasts, punks, hippies, religious fanatics and anyone with alternative leniencies for his confounding ability to capture attention with seemingly little talent. His life was also the subject of the 2006 critically acclaimed documentary The Devil And Daniel Johnston. For his most present album Is And Always Was, Daniel has teamed with acclaimed musician and producer Jason Falkner. Daniel Johnston’s past few efforts have seen a shift away from the haunting lo-fi recording that define him and a step forward into the studio. Together they have concentrated their talent and pop sensibilities for the creation of an album that contains the melodic dimensions and fundamental display of rock music that no other Daniel Johnston album has to date.LISTEN NOWArtist: Daniel JohnstonTrack: Mind Movies 2CRUSH LUTHERSome People Have No Good To Givewww.crushluther.comDist: Fontana NorthFormed in Toronto in 2002 Crush Luther, consisting of Luther Mallory (Vocals/guitars), Matt Leitch (Guitars/keys), Ryan Snyder (Bass) and P.J. (Drums), Crush Luther have very quickly made a name for themselves in the world music scene. Releasing their self-titled debut in February of 2007 on High 4 Records (owned by Darrin Pfeiffer of the US band Goldfinger), Crush Luther experienced success quicker then most bands do. The track “City Girl” was released as their first single and quickly achieved the #1 spot on the Much More Music countdown. Now, with a fresh line up and a renewed sense of determination, the guys of Crush Luther have returned with their second full length album Some People Have No Good To Give featuring the tracks “Gospel Music” and “A Light” which will no doubt contribute to their ever growing success.LISTEN NOWArtist: CRUSH LUTHERTrack: A LightTHE FLAMING LIPSEmbryonicwww.flaminglips.comDist: Warner Music CanadaAfter lauded indie albums, The Flaming Lips debuted on Warner Bros. with 1991's Hit To Death In The Future Head. Transmissions From The Satellite Heart and Clouds Taste Metallic followed. 1999's The Soft Bulletin topped numerous year-end best-of lists and helped rank the band among the most influential in the world.

The 2CD+1DVD set of Embryonic will include: Bonus audio DVD of the full album; Custom "hard-cover book" with 24 pages of full color art, lyrics and band photos. This is a limited edition run that was custom designed by The Flaming Lips.THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRASongs From Lonely Avenuewww.briansetzer.comDist: F.A.B.Three time Grammy winner Brian Setzer is credited with single-handedly resurrecting two forgotten genres of music (rockabilly in the '80's and swing in the '90's), while scoring chart-topping hits with the Stray Cats and his 18-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra. By combining vintage rockabilly with the attitude of modern punk and the polish of post-bop jazz, Setzer has staked out his own territory and multiplied his creative options. Inspired by the great film noir soundtracks from the '40's and '50's, Setzer set out to create songs that would carry a classic cinematic mood completely missing from today's musical landscape. The resulting new album Songs From Lonely Avenue consists of 12 new songs (9 with vocals and 3 instrumentals), each 100% written by Brian, which is a first in his 30-year career.LISTEN NOWArtist: The Brian Setzer OrchestraTrack: Trouble TrainLIGHTHOUSE40 Years Of Sunny Dayswww.lighthouserockson.comDist: Universal Music CanadaInfluential Canadian rock legends Lighthouse are celebrating their 40th anniversary in style with a brand new CD/DVD. The 16-track 40 Years Of Sunny Days features 12 timeless, re-mastered classics from the ‘70s Bob McBride era, including the band’s two biggest hits, “One Fine Morning” and “Sunny Days.” Additionally, 40 Years Of Sunny Days includes a stunning 16-song DVD studio performance by the three-time Juno Award winners shot in 5.1 Dolby Digital Sound and revolving around the founding nucleus of Skip Prokop, Paul Hoffert and Ralph Cole.Formed in 1968, Lighthouse made an immediate international impact, their 13-piece strings-brass-woodwind hybrid lineup thrilling audiences at the prestigious Isle Of Wight Festival (sharing the bill with Jimi Hendrix and The Who) and New York’s Carnegie Hall. The band also boasts some impressive alumni, including Oscar®-winning Lord Of The Rings composer Howard Shore.LISTEN NOW!Artist: LighthouseTrack: Sunny DaysNOAH AND THE WHALEThe First Days of Springnatwofficialblog.blogspot.comDist: Universal music CanadaFormed in 2006, Noah and the Whale quickly gained a foothold on a London music scene becoming a critical and commercial success.As with their debut, last year’s Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, the Londoner’s second release follows a structure. The journey the album takes you on is an experience quite unlike that offered by most music being made today. The First Days of Spring is identifiably the work of the band that made Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, but is also a departure and a development of ambitions and textures.MORPHINEAt Your ServiceDist: Warner Music CanadaSinger Mark Sandman coined the phrase “low rock” to describe the sonorous, languid groove he created with the acclaimed Boston band Morphine. Sadly, the band’s time together was cut short in 1999 when Sandman suffered a heart attack in Italy while onstage with Morphine and died on the way to the hospital. A decade later, Rhino pays tribute to Sandman’s ferocious creativity and Morphine’s instantly recognizable sound with a two-disc collection of unreleased studio tracks, alternate takes, and live performances with At Your Service. The 35-song compilation takes its name from the line Sandman used to kick off most shows, “We are Morphine at your service.” The music spans the group’s entire career and features founding member Dana Colley (saxophone), original drummer Jerome Deupree and his successor, Billy Conway.TUESDAYS DIGITAL SINGLE LEADS- NATALIE IMBRUGLIA "Want" - STEREOS "Bye Bye Baby" - CHAMILLIONAIRE "Good Morning" - ROB ZOMBIE "What" - DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL "Belle Of The Boulevard" Please forward this email to anyone who might want to: Subscribe to Tuesday Guide by EmailCheck out , your number one source for music recommendation, perspective and discovery.ALSO AVAILABLE THIS WEEK:AGNEW, TODD NEEDASANI LISTENBABY EINSTEIN BABY EINSTEIN: ANIMAL FRIEBEAR IN HEAVEN BEAST REST FOURTH MOUTHBEATEN AWAKE THUNDER$TROKEBEDOUIN JERRY CAN BAND COFFEE TIMEBIRD, ANDREW ANONANIMAL / SEE THE ENEMYBLACK ANGELS, THE PASSOVER [RE-RELEASE]BLUE CHEER ROCKS EUROPEBUCHANAN ROY WHEN A TEACHER PLAYS THE BBULLETS AND OCTANE LAUGHING IN THE FACE OF FACARLILE, BRANDI GIVE UP THE GHOSTCHIC MOUNT FUJI JAZZ FESTIVALCHYNNA & VAUGHAN ONE REASONCLONIOUS, THE BETWEEN THE DOTSCOCHRAN, STEVIE LIVE AT MONTREUXCRACK THE SKY ALL ACCESSCRUSH LUTHER SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO GOOD TDEAD BY SUNRISE OUT OF ASHESDENVER, JOHN AROUND THE WORLD LIVEDENVER, JOHN ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH: LIVEDICKSON, AMY GLASS, TAVENER & NYMANDIDDLEY BO HAVE GUITAR WILL TOURDISNEY KARAOKE SERIES HANNAH MONTANA 3DISNEY SONGS & STORY SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DDISNEY SONGS & STORY THE LITTLE MERMAIDDISNEY SONGS & STORY TOY STORYDISNEY SONGS & STORY WINNIE THE POOH AND THE HODJ SPOOKY THE SECRET SONG [WITH BONUS DVD]DOUGHTY, MIKE SAD MAN HAPPY MANDOWNCHILD I NEED A HATDUTCHESS & THE DUKE, THE SUNSET / SUNRISEE.S.T.
