Taneytown East Of Everything CRZ255110 850295001103 CD CORAZONG COUNTRY A musician's life can take some interesting turns. When this group of friends from the north-eastern part of The Netherlands decided to make music together, they picked the title of a song from their favourite album as a name for their band - Taneytown, from the album El Corazon by American singer/songwriter Steve Earle. Now, four years and three American tours later, they have built a rock-solid friendship with the town in Maryland that Steve Earle sang about and they've signed with Corazong Records. "Probably the best way to describe Taneytown's sound is Americana or roots-rocking country. It's not easy to put a label on this band. They have their own sound. Take a listen and get swept away by the catchy songs and the deep and husky voice." - CDBaby.com "How American can a Dutch band sound?" - RealRootsCafé.com Tracks: Picking Up The Pieces / Lie To Me / Train Of Thought / Perfect Sins / Road Song / Dog Eat Dog / Moonlight Serenade / It Was Cold That Night / Just Not Yet / I Don't Need You Anymore / Harvest Time / The Way I Feel Tonight.

Tish Hinojosa Our Little Planet CSCCD1049 8713762010492 CD CONTINENTAL SONG CITY COUNTRY Tish Hinojosa's latest studio record is a down-to-earth collection of songs with heartfelt and simple instrumentations and harmony reminescent of traditional bluegrass music, but incorporating Tish's now trademark and uniquely personal contemporary folk and tex-mex themes, lyrics, and sound. Produced by Marvin Dykhuis and Tish, it was recorded in Austin Texas from December 2007 through to late spring 2008. Marvin's diverse talents contributed many of the instruments, harmony, as well as co-writing the title song. The album also features the additional talents of pedal steel legend Greg Leisz, songwriters Buddy Cannon and David Rodriguez, and guest duet appearances of singer-songwriters Carrie Rodriguez, Rosie Flores and Dale Watson. Tracks: What You Don’t Know / Roadsongs And Bygones / Mi Pueblo / Mountain Lullabye / We Mostly Feel That Way / Our Little Planet / What Our Words Can’t Say / I Hope Forever You’ll Be Mine / Count Me In / Turned My Heart Away / It’s Good To Love Someone / Is Time Being Kind.

Grayson Capps Rott 'n' Roll HYN9368 825005936822 CD HYENA COUNTRY Rott 'n' Roll has become a catchphrase for Grayson Capps' fans to use in describing his music. It expresses the raw energy of Grayson's songs that blend backwards rock, southern soul and country blues with tales of prostitutes, alcoholics, drifters and paranoia. On his fourth album, Grayson and his band The Stumpknockers, churn and burn harder than ever. Raucous numbers like "Big Black Buzzard", "The Sun Don't Shine On Willy" and "Going Back To The Country" are instant classics in the singer/songwriter's repertoire. Yet a more introspective side is also on display with the two of the most personal songs he's written to date, "Arrowhead" and "Guitar". Drawing comparisons over the last few years to the likes of Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt and Drive By Truckers, this new albuml proves that Grayson's vision is ultimately as singular as those to whom he's compared. Tracks: Going Back To The Country / Arrowhead / Gran Maw Maw / Psychic Channel Blues / The Waltz / Big Black Buzzard / Ike / Sun Don't Shine On Willy / Big Ol' Woman / Guitar / Bacon / The Fear Fruit Bearing Tree / Sock Monkey.

Albert Lee Speechless / Gagged But Not Bound RVCD276 612657027622 CD RAVEN COUNTRY British-born Albert Lee guitarist has been delighting music fanatics with his virtuoso guitar playing and astonishing technique for over 40 years. Having backed the likes of Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton and The Everly Brothers, his reputation as a sideman par excellence and in-demand session guitarist is beyond reproach. In recent years he’s toured with his own band Hogan’s Heroes as well as Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings. Focusing on his lesser-known solo career, these two exquisite albums display Lee at his finger-pickin’ best on a rousing series of rootsy country-rock and traditional-oriented instrumentals. SPEECHLESS (from 1987) combines self-penned tunes with covers of Duane Eddy’s "Cannonball" and the traditional "Arkansas Traveller". It’s a very clean sound featuring Lee on acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and piano. GAGGED BUT NOT BOUND (1988) features consummate country/rockabilly covers including Duane Eddy's "Forty Miles Of Bad Road" and the traditional tunes "Flowers Of Edinburgh" and "Midnight Special". With superb quality audio these dynamic and playful recordings are essential listening for guitar and country/roots music aficionados alike. Tracks: T-Bird To Vegas / Bullish Boogie / Seventeenth Summer / Salt Creek / Arkansas Traveller / Cannonball / Romany Rye / Erin / Flowers Of Edinburgh / Don’t Let Go / Midnight Special / Tiger Rag / Forty Miles Of Bad Road / Fun Ranch Boogie / Walkin’ After Midnight / Schön Rosmarin / Country Gentleman / Monte Nido / Oklahoma Stroke.

Bobby Bare Bare / Sleeper Wherever I Fall RVCD285 612657028520 CD RAVEN COUNTRY This engaging 2-for-1 CD follows hot on the heels of Raven’s reissue of Bare’s landmark albums for Columbia, Down & Dirty...Plus (RVCD243) and Drunk & Crazy...Plus (RVCD267), which were career defining releases that consolidated his rambunctious yet poetic style. Bare’s Columbia label debut BARE (1978) saw the singer joined by song-writer Shel Silverstein for a series of freewheeling and humorous vignettes plus a couple of covers. Helping out on backing vocals were Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Silverstein, with instrumental support from the likes of Ben Keith (pedal steel), Johnny Gimble (fiddle), Bobby Emmons (piano) and Joe Osborn (bass). The other album, also from 1978, was another stellar release featuring memorable and distinctive covers, the Rodney Crowell gem "On A Real Good Night" and some vintage rock gone country. Embellished with two 1983 bonus tracks, this is Bobby Bare at the top of his game. Tracks: Big Dupree / Finger On The Button / The Gambler / Yard Full Of Rusty Cars / Greasy Grit Gravy / Too Many Nights Alone / Childhood Hero / February Snow / This Guitar Is For Sale / Sing For The Song / Sleep Tight, Good Night Man / Hot Afternoon (Arizona Desert) / What Did It Get Me / Goin’ Up’s Easy, Comin’ Down’s Hard / The Way I Feel Tonight / Healin’ / Love Is A Cold Wind / I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better / The Last Time / On A Real Good Night / Bonus tracks: Easy As Dreaming / Rodeo Queen.

Chet Atkins, Merle Travis & Doc Watson The Atkins-Travis Traveling Show / Reflections RVCD286 612657028629 CD RAVEN COUNTRY A true Country music legend, Chet Atkins made an indelible impression as a session guitarist and record producer. He helped create the Nashville sound, a style of country music that combined pop with honky tonk. Having recorded for RCA as a solo artist since 1953, by the mid-1970s Atkins was intent on expanding his range. He teamed up with two other guitar-playing legends, Merle Travis and Doc Watson, for these engrossing recordings. THE A-T TRAVELING SHOW (1974, tracks 1-11) is a masterful fusion of country / classical / bluegrass tunes and influences and finds Atkins and Travis paying tribute to their guitar heroes Arnold Schulz, Mose Roger, Ike Everly, Mother Maybelle Carter, Les Paul, Django Reinhardt and Segovia. The album was produced by another famous guitarist, Jerry Reed. REFLECTIONS (1980, tracks 12-21) with Doc Watson features the duo celebrating their Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee roots with a deeply personal selection of rollicking ragtime and bluegrass tunes and stomping spirituals. Here they pay tribute to more musical heroes such as Lester Flatt, fiddler Charlie Bowman, The Delmore Brothers and The Midnight Ramblers and once again the red-hot finger picking is a sheer delight to hear. This enlightening, top-value 2-for-1 CD is a must for guitar lovers and fans of classic country bluegrass.

Michelle Wright Everything And More SAV81232 800828272920 CD SAVANNAH MUSIC COUNTRY "It has been a long wait, but finally a new album is here and it's a cracker."- MAVERICK. This 12-song set of all new Michelle Wright material has perviously only been released in Canada. It's a collection of powerful and provocative songs that simultaneously resonate with country character while spotlighting Michelle's continued artistic growth. The primary focus track is the title song, co-written by Wright, Patricia Conroy and Gerald O'Brien. In the song, the husky-voiced singer expresses what is truly important in life and how sometimes we don't realize just how good we have it. The idea was inspired by Wright's trips to Zambia and Honduras for World Vision in Canada. As she explains, "My involvement in World Vision has had a life changing effect on me. I have seen what it looks like when families are really struggling just to survive day to day. I have come to appreciate on a much deeper level how fortunate I am and how I have all I will ever need. Everything and more." Produced by Nashville production team, Russ Zavitson and Tony Haselden. Haselden wrote her breakthrough hit, "Take It Like A Man" and Zavitson was the publisher who pitched the song to her. Since accepting her first award in 1989, Michelle has taken home another 31 awards including ACM Top Female Vocalist of the Year. With record sales nearing 2 million units in North America, Wright's career is one of which many artists can only dream of.

Elliott BROOD Mountain Meadows SIX41 836766004125 CD SIX SHOOTER RECORDS COUNTRY Stalking shadows on the prairies with a compass and set of matches and whispering tales under darkening skies, obsessed with history or historically obsessed, Elliott BROOD have a penchant for stories they just can’t shake. Since their beginnings with their EP, 'Tin Type', to their Juno-nominated, debut full length album, 'Ambassador', the trio have earned the praise of connoisseurs and critics alike. The release of this new album marks a new chapter. Recorded in town halls, front rooms, back rooms and good old recording studios, the album’s wandering melodies are driven by rusty guitars and aching vocals that waltz around charming piano lines while ukuleles and banjos sway to and from between a chorus of horns. It’s sunnier the higher you climb the Mountain, but in the Meadows below lay darker themes each with their own lore. Mark Sasso (vocals, guitar, banjo, ukulele), Casey Laforet (guitar, vocals, bass pedals, keys, ukulele), Stephen Pitkin (percussion, sampler, vocals). UK Dates: Oct 6 - Sheepwalk Inn (What's Cookin?), London / Oct 7 - St. Bonaventure's, Bristol / Oct 8 - Dulcimer, Manchester / Oct 9 - Stereo, Glasgow / Oct 10 - The End Bar, Newcastle / Oct 11 - Star Club, Bedford / Oct 12 - The Musician, Leicester. Tracks: Fingers And Tongues / T-Bill / W.I.A.D.F.Y. / Without Again / Garden River / The Valley Town / Notes / Woodward Avenue / 31 Years / The Spring Floods / Chuckwagon / The Body / Miss You Now.

Cherryholmes Cherryholmes III: Don't Believe SKFR2020 669890202026 CD SKAGGS FAMILY COUNTRY Cherryholmes, two-time-Grammy nominees and 2005 International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainers of the Year, return with their third album for Skaggs Family Records, exhibiting the band’s musical progression without losing the aggressive instrumental style and family harmonic blend for which they are known. What is perhaps more evident on this album than any previous release is the band’s fearless approach to composition. Traditional bluegrass elements remain prevalent in songs like “Devil In Disguise” (consequently, the only song on the album not written by a member of the Cherryholmes family), “My Love For You Grows” and the catchy Celtic “Sailing Man”. At the same time, advanced melodies and chord progressions are explored in “I Can Only Love You (So Much)”, “The King As A Babe Comes Down”, “Don’t Believe”, “Bleeding” and “Traveler.” Moreover, Cherryholmes’ instrumental boldness is manifested in instrumental tunes “Sumatra” and the medley “Mansker Spree/O’Caughlin’s Reel” with additional orchestral proficiency revealed via “Broken”, a beautifully haunting melody embellished with octave violin and cello. Lyrically, Cherryholmes’ flair for writing an attention-grabbing song is further displayed in the sassy and soulful “Goodbye” while “This Is My Son” communicates a spiritual, patriotic message. Cherryholmes garnered enough attention in the UK to play the Main Stage and Radio 2 Stage at Cambridge Folk Festival 2008. Cherryholmes jingle used on Radio 2 to promote the festival. Advertising in CMP and Maverick. PR hired and Properganda review to run. BBC Radio 2 Bob Harris Session. Tracks: I Can Only Love You (So Much) / The King As A Babe Comes Down / Don’t Believe / This Is My Son / Sumatra (instrumental) / My Love For You Grows / Goodbye / Bleeding / The Sailing Man / Broken/ Devil In Disguise / Mansker Spree; O’Caughlin’s Reel (instrumental) / Traveler.
