    Steve Albini didn’t record Spiderland

    Slintrodan · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    To whom it may concern : Steve Albini did not record/produce Spiderland, the seminal second album by the legendary band Slint. Although Albini recorded their first album Tweez, Spiderland was produced/recorded by Brian Paulson. You should correct this page. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/steve-albini-mn0000023358/credit

    Sincerely,

    A Big Fan of Steve Albini and Slint

    Spencer Williams biography issues.

    Bill Edwards · 0 · Posted

    While the information posted on Spencer Williams is what has been widely reported since the 1950s or so, some is inaccurate, due to misinformation from Williams himself. For my continuing series of biographies I did a very deep dive into Spencer going into government and other records and managed to realign his life into something a bit more accurate, including his real birthplace and relationship to Lulu White. Please consider this revision from http://ragpiano.com/comps/swilliams.shtml. I will gladly share additional information and verification on request, but most of it is cited inline in the article. Thanks for your consideration..

    name correction

    Hi,

    I am Jeff "Houndog" Schiller. When I search for that name Jeff Schiller comes up as having one composer credit, for the New Century Sax Quartet. This is correct. When I click on the credits tab however, there are a bunch of albums that I did not participate on. There must be another Jeff Schiller. 

    The first 5 credits are not me. The first credit that is me is the Art Lillard credit, where I played flute and am also composer. This should also be in the composer tab shouldn't it?

    The next 3 credits are not me. The

    some of my songs don't have Spotify streaming icons

    Rebecca Oswald · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Hi there. AllMusic shows my two solo piano albums ("Whereas" and "October Wind"). The songs on "October Wind" all have Spotify streaming icons, but the songs on "Whereas" don't have Spotify streaming icons. What needs to happen so that my "Whereas" songs will have Spotify streaming icons too? Thanks for your help.

    duplicate entries

    Jane · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    "Women Across the River" is listed under its composer David Olney and shows nothing under "also performed by."  HOWEVER there is also an entry for the song as "Women 'Cross the River" with Olney as the writer and recorded by Linda Ronstadt and by Eric Anderson/Rick Danko.  These entries should be combined as "Women Across the River" aka "Women 'Cross the River."

    copy-and-paste into Excel

    rootsmusic · 0 · Posted

    Since Advanced Search can't sort results by artist, my workaround is to copy-and-paste results into MS Excel.  But your results formatting doesn't paste well because they aren't in single rows.  So each artist occupies a merged cell of two rows, which prevents Excel from sorting.

    omitted result when searching songs

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    I searched for "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)", but why do the song results omit Van Halen's version that was composed by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen?

    Not much to add, i would like to filter searches with the "visions" tag (it can be found inside album review pages) but it seems not to be available in the "album theme" filter box.

    Album "Which Dreamed It?" should be attributed to Three Merry Widows

    Brian Simpson · 0 · Posted

    Hello! The album "Which Dreamed It?" (producer Peter Henderson) should be attributed to the band Three Merry Widows but is instead attributed to Thee Merry Widows. All other references to that album, or the producer's discography, might also be incorrect. This was recently brought to our attention because the band, working with the original producer, has a number of projects being released or re-released right now. We would be very grateful for your attention to this matter.

    Very Best Regards!

    Three (3) Merry Widows

    Your page of Jimmy Dorsey compilations includes a bunch by his brother, Tommy. Neither would be pleased.

    Couldn't fix incorrect release year even though I logged in

    Rena Z · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    You have the wrong release year on Hound Dog/Big Mama Thorton page, so I logged in using my gmail account and changed to correct year, but it didn't take. Since there are no save buttons or instructions, you would figure it would automatically update, but it didn't.  Why am I even wasting my time telling you?

    Sexism

    Armand Antommaria · 0 · Posted

    Your overview of Fairport Convention's Liege & Lief states, "Liege & Lief was also recorded after a tour bus crash claimed the lives of original Fairport drummer Martin Lamble and Richard Thompson's girlfriend". I think that it is disrespectful to reduce a woman to her relationship with a man and strongly encourage you to include her name in your article: Jeannie Franklyn. See https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/richard-thompson-memoir-excerpt-1140633/.

    Album Take Down Request

    Pete · 5 · Last reply by Pete

    Can you please remove the album "Blessed Betrayal" from AllMusic.com? I released this in 2002 through The Orchard and it was taken down from all outlets in 2012 at my request. AllMusic.com is the only remaining place where the music can be found. Please let me know what I can do to help complete this request. Thank you.

    Mistake in biography - https://www.allmusic.com/artist/emil-von-reznicek-mn0001644569/biography - Reznicek's 2nd wife Berta died in 1939 - it was their DAUGHTER (Felicitas) who was active in the anti-Nazi movement - she was later decorated by Winston Churchill for her actions during the war.

    Please address this ASAP.
