TMR 215 Michael Kiwanuka
Third Man Records is delighted to present Michael Kiwanuka's contribution to the TMR Blue Series of releases. Kiwanuka, a 25 year-old UK native of Ugandan heritage, was raised in north London where he split his time between session work and local gigs. Along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to Communion Records, then Polydor, and has since performed throughout Europe and North America too—touring in direct support of Adele. He made his way through Nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. The A-side "You've Got Nothing to Lose" is an original composition, featuring The Buzzards' Dominic Davis on upright bass and Cory Younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer Lillie Mae Rische on fiddle. Their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous Blue Series.
Produced by Jack White, the single also features a chilling rendition of Townes Van Zandt's infamous "Waitin' 'Round to Die" on the B-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the A-side.

I guessed this for the "Monkey Band" contest awhile ago. Does anyone know when they notify the winners?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I placed my order before the video was even half-way through. This is exactly what I love about the Blue Series, when they introduce me to something that is unexpected and that grabs me immediately.

Just received my shipping confirmation.
The 2014 Blue Series is starting out damned fine so far, I think.

Received this tonight. Love it. Waitin' 'Round to Die is the big winner for me, though the a-side is certainly beautiful, too. Hope TMR keeps the Blues comin'.
