Country and Americana

'Hush Now' is a wonderful album. Even though the songs are lullabies, adults will enjoy the elusive familiarity of the tunes.

Listening to 'Stars for Eyes' by Mark Huff is like s’mores for the ears, creamy and sweet, with a delectable aftertaste that keeps you coming back for more.

'Like My Life Depends on It' by Alien Country is totally cool, quite unlike anything in existence.

'Of All These Things' by Eric Anders & Mark O’Bitz is wonderfully beautiful and gentle music.

Engulfed in bayou flavors, 'Ashtray Change' by Spayed Koolie exudes a bluesy, quagmire of scrumptious southern surfaces.

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.
