Purdy's bluegrass roots show through on "StompinGrounds," the third independent release from the golden-voiced Arkansas native. Mandolin and banjo solos accent the likes of "Woman Go" and "Trouble," and good old-fashioned storytelling reigns throughout. But Purdy throws a few curveballs -- well-placed synthesizers on songs like "Rainy Day Lament" keep the sound fresh and closer to David Gray than Doc Watson. If you liked "Heartbreaker," you are bound to fall for "StompinGrounds."

As an artist, Becky is many things: a crooner, a crass commentator, a sympathizer, a gay rights activist, a lover of profanity and polite behavior, she is real to herself and her audience. Together with longtime friend and guitarist Brian Minisce, Becky Chace writes, performs, and records genre-defying, soulful music which twists and turns through the varied paths of life leaving their listeners feeling connected to the bigger picture through the window of their work. Their music has the sadness and swing of alt-country and blues ala Lucinda Williams, but can kick into the rock bravado of rock and pop ala Bruce Springsteen and drop into the lonely despair of a folk song all in one set.

Sweet acoustic songs with a soul born of bluegrass and 60s folk. Easy melodies, great guitar licks. Honey molasses.

Packed with unforgettable melodies, inspired performances, and featuring world-class production, A Token Of The Wreckage, Megan Slankard's third album, is the result of a three-year journey. Since the release of her last full-length album six years ago, Megan's life has changed in almost every respect, both personally and professionally. Her experiences and insights are chronicled in the songs of Token, an album about growing up and facing the world. Written as the country has seesawed between hope and dejection, between optimism and fear, the album features characters who are battered but unbroken. Token was recorded with Megan's outstanding band, and with help of members of Counting Crows, Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express, and Train.

Megan fulfills the promise of earlier works. A big, beautiful, ambitious, career-defining album, Token features a song cycle about coming to terms with growing up and moving forward that's moving and reflective but ultimately celebratory and triumphant.

?"A Lick and a Promise" is a new CD made by my friend, Allan "Jake" Jacobs! I go back a ways with Jake, a Singer/Songwriter and Renaissance Man. I was a "Jewel" along with Kathy and Diana Mae in an incarnation of Jake and the Family Jewels! So I was very happy when he called to ask me to take part in this new album, recently released on CD Baby called "A Lick and a Promise." There are 16 songs that he wrote and produced and each song really captures my first recollections of the "Village," with its g irls, bohemians, gypsies, writers, musicians and wondrous, nightly serendipity!

Hats off to Jake Jacobs & everyone else involved in this project! What a fine album this is all around! It's actually difficult to find a flaw.

He selected the songs by himself, which were produced from 2002 when he really started writing music (he was a high school student) to 2009, and he newly recorded them again. It contains most of the famous songs of the new version which were popular on YouTube. The order of the songs on the album starts from the newest to the oldest. ?Because it depends on the year which the song was written, it’s not always the same as the year in which it was released. Most of the new songs were supposed to be included in "Load before departure" which was planned to be released in 2009, but it was suspend.

This collection album of T-cophony has gathered only selective songs from the ones which were produced from 2002 to 2009.



  Riding a Black Unicorn...

"This album is incredible, its very different from the Voltaire I once knew, a perfect evolution. I love the melancholy NOLA-esque horns, a far cry from the string-dominant orchestration of his earlier work. Perhaps the use of the name "Aurelio Voltaire" is a signal of this new evolution, and I welcome it with open ears."

I just got my album today and I must say I'm impressed. I've come to expect the quality of Voltaire's work from his previous album, but this one threw me over the top. The songs are simply wonderful, with a band composed of exeptional musciens. Voltaire's mix of dark humor, coupled with the extraordinary ensemble of artist grouped into this album have made it my favorite piece of work from Voltaire.
