Dear John A John Lennon Tribute
Recording artist Pamela Davis has released her latest album, 'Dear John', which
is a John Lennon tribute compilation. It features twelve songs Lennon never got
the chance to professionally record. Pamela Davis has been a big fan of John
Lennon, and always wished she could hear those songs done professionally with a
rock band. With this project, she has tried to keep those songs as close as
possible to what Lennon had recorded, with the same key, tempo, and feel. Ms
Davis focused on the production used from 1968 (The White Album) through his
last sessions in 1980 (Double Fantasy). Each different production era was
applied carefully on each song. Pamela stated “If you listen very carefully to
John’s demos, one can imagine what he may have wanted on each song, and I used
my intuition to, hopefully, honor John Lennon’s lost Dakota tapes era”.
Lennon had taken five years off from the music scene to devote to his newborn son Sean, all the while composing and making demos of newly written songs. None of those songs were recorded on professional equipment. Nevertheless, we are fortunate enough to have them. Some were composed on piano while others were recorded on guitar, and occasionally with double tracked vocals.
Pamela Davis is a multi-instrumentalist who played all the
instruments, including guitar, piano, bass, drums, all string and horn
arrangements, plus lead and harmony vocal parts.This is Pamela Davis's fifteenth
album. She is known for her rock albums, and also for instrumental world music
and relaxation compilations. Her three world music albums, including 'Welcome To
Tranzotica', reached number one in a dozen countries on iTunes and was a best
seller. Ms Davis played all the exotic instruments on each release. Listening to
’Dear John’ will showcase what a great songwriter John Lennon truly was. Ms
Davis has truly breathed new life into these lost gems.

Marlene Rides Again
A Musical Tribute to Marlene
Dietrich
Recording
artist Pamela Davis has released her latest album "Marlene Rides Again",
a tribute to the Hollywood Legend Marlene Dietrich.
Dietrich's first major breakthrough occurred with her
first talking picture, "The Blue Angel" in 1930. In most of her films over the
next few decades, Dietrich would sing songs written exclusively for each movie.
Pamela has recorded some of those songs with
new arrangements, in the original keys that Marlene sang them in.
The idea behind the album was to modernize each song while finding
new ways to interpret Dietrich's classic tunes. Pamela's album features
subtle new musical arrangements, updating the styles and sounds while
staying true to the essential core of the tunes. The new compilation
displays Pamela's sultry, playful voice. She also played multiple
instruments on every track including piano, guitar, bass, drums, banjolele,
and string & horn arrangements. Ms Davis is joined on a half-dozen songs
with Marty Gilman, who added clarinet, trumpets, flute, piano, and string
arrangements. Martine Perry also appears on a few backing harmonies, joining
in with Pamela to create beautiful, lush vocals that add emotion to the
songs.
This is Pamela Davis's fourteenth album. She is known for her rock
albums, and also for instrumental world music and relaxation compilations.
Her three world music albums, including "Welcome To Tranzotica", reached
number one in a dozen countries on iTunes. Ms Davis played all the exotic
instruments on each release.
An exciting tribute album to one of Pamela's heroes, Davis has
modernized these jewels from Marlene Dietrich's song catalog. Sit back, take
a listen, and enjoy these refreshing and timeless classics.
