Now & Then (Damien Leith album)

Now & Then is the fifth studio album (sixth overall) by Australian Idol 2006 winner Damien Leith. It was released by Sony Music Australia in Australia on 20 April 2012. It was the last album of Leith's released by Sony until 2015's released of Songs From Ireland. The album spawned two singles and a tour.

Background

Following a successful 2011 where Leith's Roy: A Tribute To Roy Orbison album climbed to #2 on the ARIA album charts, had a national sell out tour, was a finalist on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and hosted his own TV program, Leith released his sixth album in six years, called Now & Then.

The “now” in Now & Then represents a selection of Damien’s self-penned songs. The collection includes a version of fan-favourite “Beautiful”, which is already being heard around the world as the theme song for the new global campaign by perfume giant Estée Lauder. And "then" in Now & Then sees Damien pick up where the Roy project left off, further celebrating and honouring the music of Roy Orbison, this time alongside the Traveling Wilburys.

Now & Then (The Carpenters album)

Now & Then is the fifth album from the Carpenters, released on May 16, 1973. In Cash Box Year-End Charts of 1973, Now & Then appeared at number 20 and the title for the album was suggested by Karen and Richard's mother, Agnes Carpenter.

As an outgrowth of the Rick Nelson Garden Party incident, an oldies revival occurred in pop music around 1973, so Side "B" of the album featured an oldies medley. The medley starts with the Carpenters' original song "Yesterday Once More". Tony Peluso, the Carpenters' guitarist who made his debut on their 1972 album A Song For You, is heard as a radio DJ throughout the medley, which includes such songs as "The End of the World", "Dead Man's Curve", "Johnny Angel", and "One Fine Day". Peluso would also be heard as a DJ was on the Carpenters' "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" recording in 1977.

The Now & Then album also featured Mark Rudolph, a cousin of the Carpenters, on the "Guess the Golden Goodies Group Contest", as the listener who calls in. This is also one of only two albums where Karen did most or all of the drumming - the other being Offering (later rereleased as Ticket to Ride) - although on this album, she plays all of the drum tracks with the exception of Jambalaya (On the Bayou), which had Los Angeles session drummer Hal Blaine on the drums.

Now and Then (John Lennon song)

"Now and Then" (also known as "I Don't Want to Lose You" or "Miss You") is the name given to an unreleased composition by John Lennon. It was first recorded in demo form in 1978 and was considered in 1995 as a third possible reunion single by Lennon's former band, The Beatles, for their 1995 autobiographical project The Beatles Anthology.

Lennon wrote "Now and Then" in the late 1970s, around the same time as "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love". He recorded the unfinished piece of music in a demo form at his home at the Dakota Building, New York City, around 1979. The lyrics are typical of the apologetic love songs that Lennon wrote in the later half of his career. Despite reports, for the most part the verses are nearly complete, though there are still a few lines that Lennon did not flesh out on the demo tape performance.

The Beatles' version

In January 1994, Paul McCartney was given two tape cassettes by Lennon's widow Yoko Ono that included home recordings of songs Lennon never completed or released commercially. The songs on the tape included the eventually completed and released "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love", in addition to two other songs was a tape with the words "for Paul" scrawled hastily in John's handwriting, which included "Grow Old With Me" and "Now and Then". In March 1995, the three surviving Beatles began work on "Now and Then" by recording a rough backing track that was to be used as an overdub. However, after only two days of recording, all work on the song ceased and plans for a third reunion single were scrapped permanently.

Track listing

Reception

Now Then was recorded in Nashville and London and received very positive reviews. Allmusic.com said "Jeb Loy Nichols' fourth offering reveals the totality of the promise that his earlier records suggested and developed. All the beautiful threads he wove in Lovers Knot through Just What Time It Is and Easy Now have become a golden braid with Now Then." The editorial review at Amazon.com says it is "a remarkable record, a masterpiece of distilled soul." Ralph Alonso, owner of Bongo Beat Records which licensed the album for release in the US said "I am going to personally state on the record that this is one of the finest albums on my roster, something so fully formed and beautiful, it will continue to resonate and unravel its wonder long after you and I are long gone and forgotten. Like the best of Al Green or Marvin Gaye, this CD is perfect from beginning to end; a smooth and subtle sexual menage a trois of reggae, country and soul."
