Tributes: John Wicks and Australian Wildfires

John Wicks

Assorted Artists “For The Record: A Tribute to John Wicks”

The great John Wicks (The Records) sadly passed away in 2018 while he fought a lengthy battle with cancer. During that time he continued to write music and was planning to release a final album. He was gone before he could finish it all himself, but producer Jamie Hoover (The Spongetones), pop journalist Richard Rossi and Kool Kat Musik made sure John’s final songs saw the light of day. Each contributing artist involved had a personal connection to John.  They gave generously of their time and talents, as a tribute to the man who dazzled us with the power-pop hit “Starry Eyes.” Proceeds from all sales go to John’s son Perry and to the American Cancer Society. Highly Recommended.

Assorted Artists “Pop! Fights The Flames (benefit album for the people of Australia)”

A special digital benefit album, whereby every artist on this compilation has donated a song to help support the people of Australia where many have been ravaged by the awful bushfires during the Australian Summer. 90% of sales from this album will go to the RFS NSW (Rural Fire Service). Some brilliant music is part of this massive 34 track benefit album; including power pop favorites: Nick Frater, Chris Price, Dana Countryman, Lisa Mychols, Wyatt Funderburk, Eric Barao and many more. Highly Recommended.
