Winehouse's Husband to Remain Incarcerated for 27 Months

Amy Winehouse's husband/enabler Blake Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months in prison today. "Blake Incarcerated" was arrested after assaulting a London bar owner and then attempting to "pervert the course of justice" following the assault by bribing the bar owner to abandon the case. Fielder-Civil pleaded guilty to the charges last month. Winehouse was not in court today when the sentence was read. Since Fielder-Civil has already served nine months in jail, he may get out of prison in 18 months. The judge said Blake Incarcerated's supposed drug use behind bars had a bearing on the sentencing.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
