Country and Americana

With 'Rumors of the Great White Skunk,' the Captain Ledge Band presents music uniquely different from run-of-the-mill country and Americana.

The Grammy-winning, global super country-western duo Sugarland have courageously added the Patty Griffin LBGTQ tribute song "Tony" to their set.

Tinged with both retro and contemporary colors, 'Qualifiers' by Mark Rogers is tantalizingly nostalgic, yet at once embryonic.

The highlight of 'Tales from a Room' is the rich, delicate voice of Miriam Waks, with a striking exotic roundness, making it uniquely pleasing to listen to.

Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets' debut full-length album features beautifully arranged three-part harmonies and well-conceived, grown-up songs that stick in your mind.

'Circle of Life' by Kinky Friedman is a great album from an amazing writer whose musical talents have been sorely missed. Here's hoping this marks the beginning of a Kinky renaissance.

The 'Providence' EP emanates exquisite colors, captivating rhythms, and Ward’s enchanting voice. This is a beautifully wrought EP.

'Shadowlands' is above average, combining roots-rock flavors, sometimes soothing, other times assertive, with Epp’s rasping vocal tones.

'About Joe' delivers tasty rock pop flavors, as well as Brendan McMahon’s smooth, powerful voice.

'Abnormal Oddities' conveys first-rate country rock ranging from tender and romantic to all-out barn burners.
