The
Reckoning is a themed record, a concept without one central character running
through it except the the idea that each song's protagonist has choices and consequences
of the decision. Anderson's 2004 release Dead Roses showcased a talented songwriter.
The Reckoning shows he is distilling down his ideas, refining his craft and making
exceptional, emotionally taught music. The record's impact is immediate but repeated
listening unveils new layers. Anderson's voice has the weary countenance of a
man far senior than his 27 years. An exceptional release. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles
of Music (Terra Soul Music)
Roots
music gadfly John Conquest opined in 3rd Coast Music, "This isn't just hardcore
country music, but exceptionally well done hardcore country music." Husband
and wife Tom and Tara Dunphy's harmony style recalls legendary singing duos like
George and Tammy. They have distinct harmonies and a special chemistry that makes
the sad songs feel a little more painful because you believe they lived it. While
heavily influenced by '50s country, they deftly keep the sound contemporary. The
Rizdales have paid their dues. Now, lets hope they reap the benefits from this
wonderful collection of real country. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
This
is an all-acoustic offering from one of the greatest voices in Rock and Roll history.
Dirt Farmer was recorded at Levon's Woodstock, NY studio with Amy Helm (Olabelle)
and famed multi-instrumentalist/producer Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon,
Rosanne Cash). (Vanguard)
Small
Miracles" is the 11th studio album for Blue Rodeo in a career spanning nearly
a quarter-century. Their sound is a blend of country, folk, and rock, with a definite
pop appeal. Since the release of their debut album, "Outskirts," in
March 1987, Blue Rodeo has established themselves as one of the premier bands
in Canada with Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor ranking among the best songwriters in
the country's history. Over the course of their stellar career Blue Rodeo has
released 11 studio albums, one live album, a Greatest Hits collection and an award
winning DVD.
The
first disc features a completely unreleased solo performance taped for the Mountain
Stage radio show in West Virginia from 1988. To that performance Collector Choice
added three rare tracks that only appeared previously on Rhino's 1987 version
of the Gene Clark & Carla Olson studio album, 'So Rebellious a Lover'; recorded
in Gene's living room in 1989, the songs are 'Number One Is to Survive; Mary Sue',
and 'Del Gato'. And disc two squeezes the entire double-album (minus some between-song
chatter) of Gene and Carla's 1990 performance at McCabe's Guitar Shop that only
saw an overseas release as 'Silhouetted in Light'. Track Listing: Silver Raven/Tried
So Hard/My Marie/Rodeo Rider/Gypsy Rider/Train Leaves Here This Morning/Hear The

The
Radiant Monkey is the album from Richard Lloyd, esteemed former guitarist for
legendary and NYC punk act Television, who have inspired several generations of
post-punk acts and artists. The 11 new songs set forth on The Radiant Monkey represent
Richard Lloyd's first studio recordings in seven years, and is his most audacious
and transfixing work to date, all the while totally rocking. Not surprising from
an artist and rock-n-roll character/mystic/guru of his stature. (Parasol)

Following
the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan's recent reemergence as an artist after
an exile of over 30 years comes the release of Some Things Just Stick In Your
Mind, a comprehensive collection of early recordings from the period prior to
her classic 1970 Just Another Diamond Day album. Titled after the (Jagger/Richards-penned)
debut single which opens the double-album, Some Things attempts to both draw a
line under the past and also to set the record straight regarding the disparity
between how Bunyan viewed (and still views) herself and the way the public views
her as an artist. While she is widely regarded as folk singer these recordings
instead reveal Bunyan as a pop singer. This complete collection of Bunyan's 25
existing early recordings is a young London girl's series of beautiful love songs
that resonate profoundly via an almost brutal efficiency and honesty. The melodies
seem timelessly sweet and addictive, the vision at once delicate but somehow tough
as granite. Track Listing Disc 1: Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind - Decca
single, 1965/I Want To Be Alone - Decca single, 1965/Train Song - Columbia single,
1966/Love Song - Columbia single, 1966/Winter is Blue - unreleased single, 1966/Coldest

A
mash of jangly power pop, twangy rock, and blending vocal harmonies along with
passionate hook-filled songwriting makes Dead Rock West`s Honey & Salt a hard-charging
debut. Energetic, like their musical heroes X, the band defies easy categorization
as they pull from country rock as much as punk without bending to either. Southern
California-scene vets Frank Lee Drennen and Cindy Wasserman spark when they harmonize,
the music jumps out making this a fantastic debut. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music
(Populuxe)
"That`s
the fast track." That lyric from the album`s second track "Fast Track"
rolls over and over, propelled by guitar over-drive, harmony-rich vocals and a
muscular rhythm section. It speaks to the power of the album. The Slider Pines
have taken style cues from early 80s Power Pop and College Rock without sounding
like a cliche. Every song is a hook-filled three-minute gem. Fans of the Replacements,
Plimsouls, The Records and every other band from that era that knew how to rock
and also got you humming along will love Road Avenue Railroad. -- Jeff Weiss,
Miles of Music (Wire To Ear Recordings)

Few
performances in history are as legendary - or as controversial - as Dylan's 1965
appearance at the Newport Folk Festival. In a single galvanizing instant, Dylan
plugged an entire generation in, forever changing not only the way the music was
made, but the way it was heard. This DVD puts you in the audience for Dylan's
Newport performances from 1963 through that pivotal set in 1965 in this film directed
by Murray Lerner. This incredible film is now available for the first time anywhere.
The DVD features over 80 minutes of performances, most of which has never been
seen before. Featured artists include Joan Baez, Freedom Singers, Peter, Paul
& Mary, and Johnny Cash. Track Listing & Features: North Country Blues/With

In
celebration of the critically-acclaimed Children Running Through album, ATO Records
and NYC-based Artist Den held a special, invite-only concert on the city's Lower
East Side at the converted Angel Orensanz Synagogue. Anticipating this would be
a magical evening, with Patty being backed by a prolific band and at times, a
5-piece string arrangement as well as Ian McIlagan, the show was captured on video
in High Definition. After numerous inquiries from fans, this evening of music
includes several songs performed for the first time from the then-just released
album and other longtime favorites. (Atco)
