Welcome to the 7th edition of United Music mag!
Today’s featured artists are “The Rob Booth Band” from London, UK, “Billy
Pettinger” aka “Billy the Kid” from Alabama, “Michael Mazochi” from LA,
California, and “Peter Case” from San Francisco.
This week’s new music line-up is filled with Blues, folk,
Rock, and everything in between including revolutionary elements that speak to
the emotional social settings of our times. So let’s get this
music revolution started!
1.
The Rob Booth Band
The Rob Booth Band is from London (UK) (South West -
Wimbledon, Croydon, Morden) and was formed out of the famous jams at Ain't
Nothing but the Blues bar in Soho. The Band has played together for the past 10
years in the UK & Spain, and will be on the road touring in 2016. Plans
also include a studio visit with new material and a possible second album
release later this year.
Their debut album, “Can’t Stop” was actually created in 2010
but was released on Bandcamp March 16th, 2016 which gives it the new
music status in my books. The album flows with a variety of Americana blues, UK
folk / pop influences through its solid mixture of originals and cover songs.
The album centers on the insatiable pull of love, the despair of losing it and
where it can leave you…’The Cold” is the place.
Have a listen to their smooth jazzy blues hit single “The
Cold” and then check out the entire album, “Can’t Stop” below. Be sure to visit
“The Rob Booth Band” on Facebook to keep up to date with what they’re up to…and
don’t forget to give them the thumbs up.

Billy Pettinger
Hailing from Vancouver BC, Canada, and now living in
Alabama, Billy Pettinger aka Billy the Kid has created some of the very best
memorable music in Alternative country / Soft Rock that this listener has
heard, and I’ve heard a great many songs in my lifetime. Billy’s latest 5 song,
almost album, “You Can Have it All” is no exception and contains a hidden
diamond with the album’s opening song, “Moving On” which to me contains the sound
and atmosphere that drew my attention to her music in the first place.
All 5 songs on “You Can Have it All” hold big potential and
will resonate with Americana, soft rock, alt country, folk fans so check out
Billy’s new, “almost album” below and then have a listen to “Thoroughfare” from
2014 and “New Orleans Night” from 2012. To me, these songs capture a certain
melancholy mood and atmosphere of an age as they reach out through music
history like a message in a bottle showing they can withstand the tempestuous
seas of time.
Be sure to visit Billy’s social links, check out more of her
great music and say hi!

Michael Mazochi
Today’s third artist is Michael Mazochi from Los Angeles,
California. Michael weaves his creative spirit and writing abilities across
many genres putting life and meaning into all of his music. So today we’ll show
you a little bit of Michael’s world as we cover his latest music projects
including his folk rock a la Woody Guthrie, “The Cold War Sessions” and the
energetic rock n roll of “The Michael Mazochi Band".
Michael Mazochi has been pursuing the evolution of
expression for the better part of a decade. His work ranges from folk, to
country, to indie rock, to pop, to rock and roll. His more instrumentally dense
work with his band is an exploration of pop, psychedelic,
garage and good old fashioned rock n' roll while his solo work tends towards
the more intimate confessions of a solo artist.
In my opinion, everyone needs a revolution, and mine
revolves around music. So when I hear the pains of the world or the call to put
up a fight for freedom and justice and what is right, all contained in a song,
I’m an instant fan…and so I’m really pleased to feature Michael Mazochi and his
music on United Music Mag today…this is what it’s all about!
Michael’s music vibrates on many frequencies with mindful
energy and spirit to capture the listener’s heart and soul as you will hear in
the music selections below, but don’t take my word for it, go to iTunes to have
a listen to his latest album “The Cold War”.
“The Cold War” is a brilliant album that is destined to be
one of the albums of the year as it resonates with the life and times we are
living in today. ~ Stewart Brennan, World United Music

Peter Case
Peter Case’s work sets the bar for authenticity, passion and
imagination and spans a number of genres, including folk, blues, and rock.
Raised in Buffalo, NY, Case came to the Bay area in 1973 and worked as a street
musician and played in the seminal power pop group The Nerves, before moving to
Los Angeles to form the Plimsouls, landing a deal with Geffen Records.
The Plimsouls achieved success with the single, "A
Million Miles Away,” but broke up shortly after. Case’s 1986 solo Geffen record
revealed deep roots in folk and blues, and earned him his first Grammy
nomination for the song “Old Blue Car” as well as the Number 1 spot on the NY
Time’s 1986 Best CDs list. Six CDs later, Case earned another nomination for
Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John, a remarkable collection of songs that features
Case’s voice and a single guitar. It’s clear that Case is a major talent on the
Americana troubadour landscape.
Case’s 2010 CD, Wig emphasized the rock and blues side of
Case’s repertoire, while 2007's Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John demonstrates what
Case can do with just his voice and a guitar. With or without a backing band,
Case delivers his songs with both intense passion and introspective nuance.
HWY 62 is the latest album by Peter Case released on October
30th, 2015. The album is another masterful offering that easily
falls into a plethora of music genres including acoustic folk, blues,
Americana, alt country, and the protest categories that will please a great
number of music fans. The content of “HWY 62” is filled with memories, hard
times and brutal honesty that comes to life with this seasoned folk and blues
veteran who delivers a realistic professional air, flair and swagger with his
music…and it can be said without hesitation that the music of Peter Case stands
on its own with the pulse of the nation playing the chords…
“HWY 62 reaches deep down into the depths of the soul of a
nation to mirror the times we live in and it’s delivered by a seasoned veteran,
with total class.” ~ Stewart Brennan, World United Music
Be sure to check out all of Peter’s music and visit his
social pages to catch up with what he’s up to and where he’s touring.
