DownTown Mystic Stands The Test Of Time in Sha-La Land

    NEW YORK, NY, December 02, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sha-La Music, Inc. announces the worldwide release of the new Test Of Time single by US Rocker DownTown Mystic on December 4 and at Radio on December 7 via the iPluggers online digital platform. The single will be digitally distributed worldwide by The Orchard/Sony Music and is being released 2 weeks in advance of the Welcome To Sha-La Land compilation album, which will be released on December 18 in time for Christmas.

Test Of Time is the lead track on the Welcome To Sha-La Land album, featuring songs by DownTown Mystic, Bruce Engler, The Discontent and New Age guru Monte Farber. It's a roots-rocking track with a positive message about love that endures and is especially poignant in this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. DownTown Mystic songwriter/producer Robert Allen comments, "This pandemic has been a shock to all of our collective systems and our personal emotions are something that doesn't get a good deal of attention. Test of Time is for all the people who did not get a chance to share a final goodbye with their loved ones."

The Test Of Time single features Bruce Engler, a long-time DownTown Mystic collaborator who recently released his 3rd solo record, The Landing. His slide guitar playing is a highlight on Test Of Time and Sha-La Music plans to release Bruce's next album One More Chance featuring DownTown Mystic in 2021. Also playing on the track is Trixter/Ra bass player PJ Farley who's just released his 2nd solo album, Accent The Change. Playing drums for the final time on a DownTown Mystic track is the late great Tommy Mastro of The Discontent.

2020 has been a busy year for DownTown Mystic, starting with the critically acclaimed Better Day album in January and ending with the DownTown Mystic: Used Records History 1979-1985 album in November. That album was released to Radio exclusively on AirPlay Direct and has been at #2 on the APD Rock/AAA Albums Chart for 2 months. Sha-La plans to release the DownTown Mystic On E Street Deluxe album featuring RnR Hall of Famers Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent of The E Street Band next month on January 22, 2021.
