Mumford & Sons to release new single "The Cave"

Mumford & Sons release their new single, ‘The Cave’ through Gentlemen Of The Road / Island Records on the 1st March 2010. It is taken from the band’s critically acclaimed Top 10 debut album, ‘Sigh No More’. Mumford & Sons have begun this decade much as they ended the last, with word-of-mouth recommendations and a fearsome live reputation helping them to become one of the most significant (and unexpected) British success stories in recent years. After Sigh No More charted at Number 11 in the UK album chart in October 2009, the album has quietly kept on selling - rising to a new high of Number 7 in January and shifting over 200,000 copies in the process. Meanwhile, the folk-rockers have been taking their euphoric live shows across the globe. A unique tour of India at the close of December included sold-out performances in Pune, New Delhi and Hyderabad. While they were there, the band decamped to a studio in New Delhi to collaborate with a collective of Rajasthani musicians (the resulting recordings are due to appear sometime this year). The band's rapidly-expanding following is now set to grow further still, as they embark on their first tour of Australia (where Sigh No More rocketed into the album charts at Number4). That will be followed by a series of much-anticipated American shows, before they return to the UK and Ireland for a triumphant spring tour, which has already sold out completely. The Cave is the follow-up to Winter Winds, which attracted enormous radio airplay (including a place on the Radio 1 A-list), providing a timely soundtrack as Britain found itself blanketed in unrelenting snow. With The Cave's pounding tale of hope and defiance already looking set for similar success, 2010 is clearly shaping up to be Mumford & Sons' year.

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS

Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues" . On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is Hi

With the excitement surrounding the release on Florence + The Machine’s second album reaching fever pitch, here’s ‘Shake It Out’ - the massive lead single to be taken from ‘Ceremonials’ . Where ‘What The Water Gave Me’ dramatically played out like an ode to the ocean and is magnificent powers, ‘Shake It Out’ incites a desire to jump up and dance fervently, shaking off the shackles of a persistent mood, feeling or indeed hangover, as, she points out, “it’s hard the dance with the devil on your back so shake it out”.
