Capitol Records Nashville Trio Co-Write Song for MTV’s Popular Reality Drama “The Hills”
Capitol Records Nashville’s new trio Lady Antebellum (Dave Haywood, Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley) make an early mark on television when they head straight to “The Hills” on MTV. The trio co-wrote a song “Miles Away” with songwriter Alexa Wilkinson and singer/songwriter Josh Kelley (Charles’ brother) that is expected to premiere on the popular reality drama on October 29.
Formed by John McLaughlin in 1971, the Mahavishnu Orchestra pioneered the fusion of jazz elements into rock music while still undeniably retaining the power and muscle of a full on rock band. With McLaughlin as the ever-present, the line-up went through various phases and these two concerts from Montreux showcase the band at distinctively different times of their career, with the seventies show featuring later stars Jean-Luc Ponty and Michael Walden and the eighties concert featuring saxophone maestro Bill Evans.
Visual footage only exists of three tracks from the 1974 show (although this is still over 73 minutes of footage) but the other tracks exist as audio masters and they have been added as bonus material.
