Kowa + Klein – Summertime

Reading an account of the lives of musicians Marlon Klein and Win Kowa, one might get the impression their paths were never destined to cross.

Su Andersson – Postcards

Su Andersson’s new album is created in collaboration with musician Henning Sernhede and new collaborator Axel Olsson, “Postcards” serves as both travelog and human observation, celebrating freedom of movement and our capacity for connection. More information at Hemifran.

Kimmie Rhodes – West Texas Heaven Revisited

Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus – Two True Lovers

Kyle Carey – The Last Bough

“The Last Bough” is the next giant step down Kyle Carey’s path toward a new American sort of folk music. Her music remains innovative, not only in its bone deep feel for Celtic tradition, but in all that she is able to graft on to it by way of a personal vision as capacious as the North American continent.
