FIRST ALBUM IN NINE YEARS
Soulsville |
Soulsville is the first new album in nine years from Huey Lewis and the News. The new
album was recorded in the city’s historic Ardent Studios. Recorded with their long time horn section in Memphis,
Soulsville features 14 classic songs from the vault of Stax Records, including “Respect Yourself” and “Got To
Get You Off My Mind.”
For the album cover, Memphis folk artist Lamar Sorrento has created a striking, affectionate caricature of
a Memphis street corner. Complete with musicians, rib joints, and, of course, WDIA, the country’s first black radio
station, Sorrento captures the sprit and energy of Memphis just as vibrantly as Lewis and the News do on their new
album.
Soulsville is out November 2.

SEPTEMBER 19 WILL BE DECLARED “FRANK ZAPPA DAY” IN BALTIMORE
Details of events were announced today for the unveiling of a sculpture of Frank Zappa and celebration
honoring the composer for the legacy of his music and his commitment to the First Amendment.
September 19, 2010 marks the 25th anniversary of Zappa’s testimony on Capitol Hill and at Annapolis against the
censorship of free expression by artists. In commemoration of this event, Zappa Records is preparing to release
Congress Shall Make No Law, a CD containing Frank Zappa’s testimony. As part of the
celebrations, the Mayor’s office will issue a proclamation moving annual ‘Frank Zappa Day’ to September 19 in
Baltimore.
Frank Zappa’s son Dweezil Zappa will headline a special concert with his Grammy Award-winning band,
Zappa Plays Zappa. The
stretch of Eastern Avenue between Conkling and Eaton Streets in the heart of the Highlandtown Arts and
Entertainment District will be marked ‘Frank Zappa Way’ with a ceremonial street sign to be unveiled for the
dedication. The events, including the outdoor dedication and concerts, are open to the public at no charge.

incentives.
