the innocence mission: my room in the trees
The innocence mission (all lower case, no very forceful statements from these guys) are from Philadelphia and have been marching to the beat of their own (gentle) drum for…

Old Sledge: Don't let Your Deal Go Down
Old-time mountain music from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and I don't think I can top this quotation from the Old Time Herald in North Carolina: " [they] sound deeply traditional in the best and most effortless sense: they've listened a lot to the people who came before them, and they pay…

The Carrivick Sisters: From The Fields
http://thecarrivicksisters.wordpress.com/
Earlier in the year I was enthusing about Larkin Poe, the jaw-droppingly talented Lovell Sisters from Knoxville. Well, what do you know? Six months later along comes an album from the jaw-droppingly talented Carrivick Sisters (twins, I believe - is that a trump card against the Lovells?), and this…

The Redlands Palomino Company: Don't Fade
Shimmering like a summer afternoon after the wine has been opened, The Redlands Palomino Company are back with their third…

Lauren Sheehan: Rose City Ramble
Lauren Sheehan's previous recording, Two Wings, was something of a folk enthusiast's gem and Rose City Ramble more than matches the quality of that performance. Lauren has been a student, collector, teacher, performer and, above all, singer of…

Jimmie Vaughan: More Blues, Ballads and Favorites
Bit of a treat, this, for anyone who remembers what rhythm and blues used to sound like. Ex- Fabulous Thunderbird Jimmie Vaughan comes up with well over an hour of great old songs that feels like stumbling on the contents of a jukebox in some ancient blues club in the deep south. Keeping it simple, a…

Shaney McCoy: Bridges I Can't Burn
Hailing from Kansas but now based in Utah, Shaney McCoy has taken the better part of twenty years to get to the point of releasing this, her debut album: partly her musical career never quite took off, partly other parts of life got in the way. Whatever the reasons, it was…

Rod Picott: Welding Burns
www.rodpicott.com
Rod Picott has been a favourite of mine for over a decade now, writing consistently good songs and exuding integrity like few other performers I've ever seen. Many will know that he's a long-time buddy and writing partner of Slaid Cleaves and the two of them seem to have been marching in step throughout their careers, the one sounding like the other…

Patrick Sweany: That Old Southern Drag
He's a new name to me but Patrick Sweany has been around quite a while, with several albums to his name since his 1999 debut. He's made his name on the blues side of blues rock, both for his guitar playing and for his raw-throated singing, but there's always been…

Tokyo Rosenthal: Who Was That Man?
It's a couple of years since Toke Rosenthal's last album and these ten new songs lift off from the standout track on 2009's Ghosts. That standout track was Mister, Tell Me 'Bout The Great Depression, a song which drove along rather splendidly. The briskness and focus which gave that particular song…

Brian Wright's House On Fire
LA musician Brian Wright is in the UK right now (June 9th) and will be in Scotland over the weekend. Catch him while you can because this astonishing album is going to make a lot of Best of 2011 lists, I reckon. Brian has recorded in the past with his regular band and put the emphasis on trying to recreate their live energy. With this…
