Nonesuch

Nonesuch is a US record label that was created in 1964 as a budget label for classical releases. It eventually expanded to include adventurous music from around the globe and world-premiere recordings of contemporary composers. Nonesuch has gone through various ownership changes over the years, including being acquired by Warner Communications in 1970 and becoming a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records in 2004.

Under the leadership of Jac Holzman, Nonesuch was established as a budget label for classical releases licensed from large record companies in Britain and France. Designed by Bill Harvey, the packaging emphasized affordability with releases marketed as "Recordings at the Price of a Quality Paperback."

In 1970, Nonesuch became part of Warner Communications (Kinney/WEA) and continued to release music under its own name along with other Elektra-based labels like Elektra and Asylum Records. The merger between Elektra and Atlantic labels in 2004 resulted in Nonesuch becoming a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records within the Warner Music Group.

Rachael and Vilray – the duo of singer / songwriter Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive) and guitarist / singer / songwriter Vilray – return with their second studio album, I Love a Love Song!, which features the singles ‘Is A Good Man Real?’ and ‘Just Me This Year’.

Combining Rachael Price’s singular voice with Vilray’s knack for songwriting, I Love a Love Song! showcases Rachael and Vilray’s evolution, pushing them to a new level as they jump ahead in vision and drive. The duo has keenly absorbed the work from their jazz predecessors, taking the best of the past and creating something new.

  Recorded at United Recording in Los Angeles, CA, the twelve-track album was produced, engineered and mixed by Dan Knobler (Judy Collins, Allison Russell) and features arrangements from Jacob Zimmerman.  All songs were written by Vilray except for the 1930’s classic ‘Goodnight My Love’, which was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel. 

  Of ‘Is A Good Man Real?’, Vilray says, “Like ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’ (1937), which implies unsaid volumes about high society scolds, describing normal activities then dismissing them snootily, the song is a portrait of the singer’s life drawn in negative space.  Rachael sings about decidedly ordinary courtesies and wonders tartly if the man exists who can offer them to her – and we glean much about the awful men she’s been dating without her mentioning them.” &nbsp;
