Deni Bonet: It's All Good

http://www.denibonet.com/fr_welcome.cfm A first full album from New York girl with an electric fiddle, Deni Bonet, and far and away the best thing about this album is her pretty extraordinary fiddle playing; she’s a one-woman fireworks display with that instrument, exploding with amazing energy and skill in a manner…See More

Jeff Finlin: My Moby Dick

http://www.jefffinlin.com/home.cfmJeff Finlin has been around quite a while now with some very fine albums under his belt; I was first aware of him round about the turn of the century when he released the splendid Original Fin.

Marsteller & Rhodes present: The Beautiful Old, Turn-of-the-Century Songs

http://www.thebeautifulold.com/music.cfm             Well, the top prize for the most unlikely project of 2013 will surely rest in the hands of Austin producer Gabriel Rhodes and his executive producer, Paul Marsteller. On The Beautiful Old they have chosen to revisit parlour songs (and a few tunes)…See More

Dylan Sneed: Texodus
