Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. (Concord Records). Review by Carl F Gauze.

Backwoods Barbie Collector’s Edition (Dolly). Review by Matthew Moyer.

The Avett Brothers don’t just appeal to hippies anymore. Their recent Orlando show showcased a genre-defying band with talent beyond their numbers. Jen Cray is a newly born fan.

M. Ward suspends time and lifts Chicago, and Chris Catania , up in the warm embrace of his timeless music.

Get a glimpse of America, captured in Kagarise’s photos and stories of the big country and bluegrass heroes of the ’60s playing in obscure music parks.

When Gothic godfather (oh stop it) Peter Murphy swept into Jacksonville on the 4th of July with a bag full of hits and Bauhaus classics, Matthew Moyer dropped his bottle rockets and went to check out the REAL fiireworks.

Very few musicians can stun Jen Cray stupid with the simple inflections of their voices and the subtle strumming of their guitars. Langhorne Slim and the War Eagles did just that when they gifted a very intimate gathering of us at The Social in Orlando with a performance to be envied by those who missed it.

Ghost Dance (K). Review by Aaron Shaul.

Raising Sand (Rounder). Review by Jen Cray.

Chris Catania is utterly taken with this new collection of Shel Silverstein’s travelogue sketches from the Sixties. That’s right, Silverstein wrote for Playboy! I thought you said you read it for the articles….

Little Amber Bottles (Original Signal). Review by Jen Cray.

Everybody’s Brother (Compadre Records). Review by Carl F Gauze.

Glen Galloway is Soul Junk , who delivers the word backed by indie rock and hip-hop beats. Chris Catania talks to the man about Psalms, doing commercial music for BMW and faith.

Bob Ham enjoys this archival DVD release of a George Jones concert from the early 80s - we think.

Aficionado! (Grass Roots). Review by Jen Cray.

With Walk The Line behind us, and Hollywood spoof Walk Hard yet to come, Matthew Moyer takes a look at this latest biography of June Carter Cash, this one by her son.

Going Way Out With Heavy Trash (Yep Roc). Review by Jen Cray.
