Here’s about all I can find for new releases for the week of July 14th, 2009. The artist’s names link to their websites or MySpace pages and the CD title links go to either Amazon or CD Baby for easy ordering.
GREG BROWN – Dream City: Essential Recordings Vol 2, 1997-2006 (Red House )
A 2-disc album, it includes highlights of his recent recordings, with material from his best-selling Red House albums, and his two Trailer Records releases.
CHRIS GAFFNEY - Live and Then Some (Tres Pescadores)
This two disc set has been in and out of print a few times over the years and nearly impossible to get at times.Disc one is a live set that really captures the late singer at his best. Disc two is the rare 1985 release Road To Indio.
BRYAN SUTTON – Almost Live (Sugar Hill)
Bryan, who is the hot flat-picking guitarist of choice these days, brings together esteemed players and friends including Béla Fleck, Chris Thile, Tim O’Brien, Hot Rize, and Russ Barenberg on this new record. “Almost Live” is Bryan’s tribute to the various groups, musicians and styles with which he has played over the last few years as one of acoustic music’s most in-demand bandmates and session musicians.
…coming soon: RICK SHEA, DELBERT McCLINTON, MATTHEW SWEET & SUSANNA HOFFS, THE (BEAT) FARMERS, KIERAN KANE … more new releases.
