HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Multiple Grammy- and Academy Award-winning producer, musician and songwriter T Bone Burnett has signed an agreement with Capitol Music Group(CMG) to bring his newly formed Electromagnetic Recordings imprint to the company, it was announced today by Burnett and CMG Chairman & CEO Steve Barnett.

With Electromagnetic Recordings, Burnett will draw upon his decades of experience to create and develop music and transmedia releases that will be marketed and distributed through CMG.  Burnett will also sign artists directly to Electromagnetic Recordings, and team with CMG label executives and staff to develop and market these artists and their releases.  He will also serve as a producer and A&R resource for the CMG labels, and as a liaison for the company to the music, film and television communities.

According to Barnett, "T Bone is quite simply one of our culture's most important creative figures.  He is an influential curator and tastemaker, and his projects are consistently of stellar quality and integrity.  He is held in the highest esteem within the artistic community, and the list of artists wanting to work with him is endless.  I am thrilled that T Bone and Electromagnetic Recordings are making their home with us, and incredibly excited at the unlimited potential of our association."   

T Bone commented, "I am very much aligned with Steve's vision for a 21st Century entertainment company, and excited by the strong team he has carefully and thoughtfully assembled.  Steve is mindful of his role as caretaker of Capitol's deep legacy, and also embraces his responsibility to invest in new talent and help them develop into the artists of the future.  He does it with intelligence, respect for artists and a genuine passion for music; all of which gives me confidence that Electromagnetic Recordings will flourish within the Capitol family."    

Among the initial projects slated for Burnett and/or Electromagnetic Recordings as part of the new agreement with CMG are:

  • The Basement Tapes…Continued:  Bob Dylan's music publishing company recently discovered lyrics Dylan wrote in 1967 for informal sessions with members of The Band that later became known as The Basement Tapes.  Dylan has entrusted Burnett with these lyrics, and early next year – nearly 47 years since the legendary original sessions – Burnett will assemble a select group of contemporary recording artists in the famed Capitol Studios to complete the songs and record them as a band.  Fans will experience this historic creative collaboration through an album release, as well as a documentary film and book of photography by award-winning filmmaker and photographer Sam Jones (The Wilco documentary, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, and his interview show, Off Camera with Sam Jones).  Burnett's association with Bob Dylan began in 1975 when he became a guitarist on Dylan's famed Rolling Thunder Revue tour.
  • Gregg Allman – Burnett will return to the studio with Allman in December to record the follow-up to Low Country Blues, the 2011 Burnett-produced album which  debuted in the top ten of  Billboard's Top 200 chart and became one of Allman's best-selling and most critically acclaimed releases.
  • Mini Mansions – Signed to Electromagnetic Recordings and Capitol Records by Burnett and Capitol President Dan McCarroll, this Los Angeles based trio will complete its debut album this year with Burnett serving as Executive Producer, as well as hands-on producer on several tracks.
  • Jerry Lee Lewis – Burnett is working with "The Killer," on an album that will be released next summer in conjunction with the HarperCollins publication of Lewis's memoir (as told to Pulitzer-Prize winning author Rick Bragg).
  • Striking Matches – Newly signed to CMG's Nashville imprint, I.R.S. Nashville, the duo known as Striking Matches first appeared on Burnett's radar when he utilized several of their songs in the first season of the Nashville television series (Burnett was that show's Executive Music Producer).  Burnett will Executive Produce the duo's debut album, which they'll soon begin recording.
  • Cowboy Jack Clement – Legendary musician, songwriter and producer, Cowboy Jack Clement, recorded a final album of his songs in Nashville with producer Dave Ferguson in the final months of his life.   Clement is joined on the album by a veritable who's-who of the Nashville artist community, including Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris and John Prine.  Mixing and completion of the album is being overseen by Ferguson and Burnett, who will serve as its Executive Producer.  The album will also be the first release on CMG's Nashville imprint, I.R.S. Nashville.

About T Bone Burnett:
T Bone Burnett's more-than-40 years of experience in music and entertainment have earned him an unparalleled reputation as an innovative artist, songwriter, producer, performer, concert producer, record company owner and artists' advocate. Burnett's highly sought-after involvement in music, film, television and stage projects is marked by his uncanny ability to successfully combine his unique artistic sensibilities with massive commercial appeal.

He is a 13-time Grammy Award winner, earning his latest statue earlier this year in the category of Best Song Written For Visual Media -- along with collaborators Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars' Joy Williams and John Paul White – for "Safe & Sound" from The Hunger Games.  Burnett received an Academy Award in the category of Best Original Song (along with co-writer Ryan Bingham) for "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart, the 2010 film that Burnett also produced.

Burnett is currently collaborating with Joel Coen and Ethan Coen on their music-packed film Inside Llewyn Davis, in which a young singer-songwriter navigates New York's Greenwich Village folk music scene during the early 1960s.   He is Executive Music Producer and Composer for the forthcoming HBO series, True Detective, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

He is Musical Director for Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County, a theatrical collaboration with musician John Mellencamp and author Stephen King that completed a run in 2012 at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre to rave reviews and record-setting ticket sales.  The production is currently touring the U.S.
