Arroe Collins Like Its Live Unplugged And Totally Uncut

Learning to trust with heart felt faith is a journey that's challenged then challenged again. It feels like everyday is two steps back with a side step in the middle.

When Waking Up White: And Finding Myself in the Story of Race launched in January 2014, author Debby Irving provided a “Racism 101” for white people and a rare exposé on whiteness for people of color.  It was the book she wished someone had handed her decades ago. “Like most white Americans, I completely misunderstood what racism was and how it had always been operating in my life and in my white community.” Irving designed the book to read like a memoir yet include educational conversation prompts at the end of each chapter. And, as she hoped and anticipated, educators and book groups adopted Waking Up White to take on this challenging issue. She planned to devote two years to marketing her story to book groups and educators.

What Irving did not anticipate was the national eruption of racial and gender tensions that would make daily headlines, driving white communities to her story. With escalating demand for the book, keynote speeches, and related workshops, Irving instead has continued to help educate and inform church groups of many denominations, well known businesses, country clubs, schools of all levels and other community action groups from coast to coast. In the five years since publication, Irving has seen interest in understanding racism skyrocket in predominantly white communities, often at the urging of community members of color who use Irving’s book as an entrée to how racism operates. “We are in an immensely teachable moment in which many white people are understanding for the first time just how misled they’ve been about America’s purported level playing field,” explains Irving. 

In Waking Up White, Irving her own life to explore the everyday systemic racism that goes largely unnoticed yet perpetuates long-held racialized belief systems. By sharing her sometimes cringe-worthy struggle to understand racism and racial tensions, she offers a fresh perspective on bias, stereotypes, manners, and tolerance. As she unpacks her own long-held beliefs about colorblindness, being a good person, and wanting to help people of color, she reveals how each of these well-intentioned mindsets actually perpetuated her ill-conceived ideas about race. In both the book and in workshops, Irving explains why and how she herself has changed the way she talks about racism, works in racially mixed groups, and understands the racial justice movement as a whole.

The Kings' singer/bassist David Diamond, guitarist Mister Zero, keyboardist Sonny Keyes, and drummer Todd Reynolds are happy to announce the release of their 7th album, “The Longest Story Ever Told". 

Opener “Always Off The Deep End” is a power pop gem about that friend who never does anything halfway, and people are getting up and dancing to “I Know So", an up-tempo romp with a rockin' sax section. Both songs come with super fun videos as well. 

Americana Highways’ writer John Apice, who requested an album before the U.S. campaign, raves over the whole album, calling out “A Rose For Your Stone” for its “Spanish-flavored horns.” Inspired by Spaghetti Westerns, the song is a story where the main character is anything but a hero.

Apice writes, "lead singer David Diamond’s voice is still as powerful as when he sang “This Beat Goes On/Switchin’ To Glide” on the group’s first album ‘The Kings Are Here’." Apice went on to praise Dave has having “one of the greatest R&R voices ever recorded….Diamond’s vocals are as authoritative as Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger, Ray Davies,” and the band. “They sound like a nuclear reactor started up again. I know rock bands that can’t stand toe to toe with them today. Just listen to the significance they display, the intonation & phrasing – rock n’ roll at its best.”

In true fashion for The Kings, there are epic-length rockers with hooks, like the title track “The Longest Story Ever Told”, where Diamond gives his take on the history of the band, and another two-song segue “Circle of Friends/Man That I Am", that reminds us of the value of friendship. 

The album has range, including the heavy sounding "Nowhere to Go But Gone”, which states "There is no trip like a road trip". "When Dreams Come True" is a gorgeous wedding ballad that tells the story of the power of new beginnings. The album closes with three big rockers, “Clean Shot”, retro-rocker "She Don't Fool Around" and “Triangle Blues” which concerns, as Diamond says, “the third wheel that might be getting a bit too close for comfort".  

"The Longest Story Ever Told" is The Kings’ 7th studio album following the release of “Because of You”. A musical triumph, the new 10-track album features a lineup of iconic music industry veterans handling the mixing console, including Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple), Terry Brown (RUSH), Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine) and more.
