Lee Aaron - 'Diamond Baby'

By David Farrell

Lee Aaron – ‘Diamond Baby’ (Big Sister Records/Universal): This original song is the title track from Diamond Baby Blues, (born) Karen Lynn Greening’s latest album. Laced with screaming blues-tinged rockers, the LP includes originals and covers, such as Clint Ballard’s “Your No Good,” Rod Stewart’s “Hard Road,” Deep Purple’s “Mistreated” and Koko Taylor’s anthemic “I’m A Woman.”


If ever anyone deserved to hit the big top and earn back the years she has put in as a singer on the road, Aaron is it. She’s not mellowed an iota here, and packs in 12 tracks that scream, soar, moan and rip with a backing band that does a whole lot more than play for pay. Upcoming show dates include outdoor jamborees that include Germany’s Wacken metal fest and Sweden's hard-rock Skogsrojet event. Later in the year, she has outdoor shows in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Toronto's First Class Fest Revamps Lineup After 'Heartwrenching' Last-Minute Artist Cancellations

OsamaSon will now play both days of the Toronto underground rap festival (Aug. 28-29), which has added Xaviersobased, ApolloRed1 and 1oneam to the bill after Nettspend, Che and more have dropped out. "It's been the craziest 24 hours of my life," co-founder Leo Strang tells Billboard Canada.

First Class Fest is facing some serious turbulence, but is stabilizing before liftoff.

Just days before the Toronto festival, which lands at the Bowl at Sobeys Stadium on Aug. 28-29, multiple artists dropped off the bill, including one of its biggest names. Nettspend, who recently notched his first Billboard Canadian Albums placement with Early Life Crisis in March, abruptly announced that he would "not be making it to Toronto" via his Instagram story on Tuesday night (Aug. 25).
