McKeown, Erin - Hundreds Of Lions

McKeown, Erin - Hundreds Of Lions

Hundreds of Lions is Erin’s first collection of original songs since 2005’s We Will Become Like Birds. The album was recorded in a farmhouse studio in rural New England with producer (and longtime musical partner) Sam Kassirer. Strings, brass, and woodwinds intertwine with Erin’s voice to create an album full of dips and dives, mirroring the emotions of danger and desire.

McKeown, Erin - Sing You Sinners

Den kanadensiska sångfågeln Erin McKeown har länge varit en självklar länk mellan Beth Orton, Ani Di Franco och Neko Case, samtidigt som hon lyckats skapa ett helt unikt uttryck; ett taggat destillat av zigenarjazz, powerpop, Tin Pan Alley och elektronisk pop

Dylan, Bob - No Direction Home:Bob Dylan (A Martin Scorsese Picture)

Hiatt, John - Beneath This Gruff Exterior

While “Beneath This Gruff Exterior” is credited to John Hiatt & the Goners, a more appropriate designation might be »John Hiatt and Sonny Landreth« — hotshot guitarist Landreth, who has held down a longtime on-and-off tenure in Hiatt's road band, spreads his licks over every nook and cranny of this album, so much so that his guitar spends about as much time in the spotlight as Mr
