A Decade of The Wailin' Jennys!Read Nicky Mehta's reflections on 10 years of The Wailin' Jennys over at the Blog Cabin!
Little Blue Egg - New Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer!
On February 14th we are excited to release Little Blue Egg from Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer. The album is a stunning collection of never before released recordings that were rescued from a basement in 2010, nearly 8 years after his passing.
These 11 tracks were recorded in their home studios between 1997 and 2002 and include folk and Americana songs that never made it to an album, living room recordings and rare demos produced for Joan Baez's consideration, who was a big fan of their music.
Drew Nelson - Tilt-A-Whirl out on February 14th!
Combine the storytelling songwriting of Greg Brown and Nanci Griffith with the rockin' edge of Bruce Springsteen or John Melloncamp and you get Michigan's roots/Americana songwriter Drew Nelson. His brand new album Tilt-A-Whirl comes out on February 14th and we're busting at the seams to get it to you.
A healthy mix of rock and folk story songs, Tilt-A-Whirl is the kind of album you find yourself reaching for again and again. Painting a picture of the working class heroes and drifting souls in search of their American dream, Tilt-A-Whirl is Drew's magnificent Red House debut!
Mercury hits #26 on American Songwriter Top 50!
It's that time of year again for "Best of..." lists to litter the pages and screens of magazines, blogs and websites. Recently American Songwriter relased their 'Top 50 Albums of 2011' and put Pieta Brown's Mercury at #26 ahead of powerhouses like The Decemberists, St. Vincent and Steve Earle!
Congrats Pieta!
Storyhill on MN Original!
Recently, Storyhill taped an episode of Minnesota Original for Twin Cities Public Television. Of course any performance these guys put on is nothing short of amazing, but this time around they were taped in the beautiful Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul. Hearing Storyhill's harmonies resonate off the walls of these storied caverns is utterly breathtaking. Here they are performing "Paradise Lost" off their self titled album and "Well of Sorrow" from their latest record Shade of the Trees. Enjoy!
