New and Noteworthy

recent releases of interest

Self-Titled

Abigail Washburn & Sparrow Quartet

(Nettwerk)

This ain't your grandpa's banjo. Washburn & Bela Fleck on banjos team up with Ben Sollee on cello & Casey Dreissen on fiddle and explore blues, Chinese ballads, gospel, Khazak melodies and jazz.

Strange Things, indeed.

Trouble In Mind

Hayes Carll

(Lost Highway)

A large cast of loveable losers populates these catchy tunes, delivered with Carll's laid-back humor and lazy drawl. A thoroughly likeable breath of fresh Gulf Coast air for these troubled times.

Staring Into The Sun

Dustin Pittsley Band

(self released)

Great blues licks, tight band, sexy voice & love songs, all injected with generous doses of Classic Rock.

The Tulsa Sound lives on!

Washington Square Serenade

Steve Earle

(New West)

Goodbye Guitar Town,

Hello Big Apple!

The somewhat kinder, somewhat gentler sounds of Steve Earle in love --with New York and with "the redhead by my side".

Diamonds In The Dark

Sarah Borges

& The Broken Singles

(Sugar Hill)

Rock & Roll promises made and delivered!
