Harmonia Sacra Singers of Hamburg, Va: Brighter Scenes: Harmonia Sacra Singing from Hamburg, VA
A form of a capella religious singing practiced in the Shenandoah Valley since the 1830s. This recording features the sound of more than 200 singers singing hymns in four part harmony, from the August 2006 singing at Mauck Chapel
The Bitter Sweets: Further Up the Mountain
A strange hybrid of country fried jazz folk blues. An unlikely trio of miscreants united by their anachronistic incapacity to entirely fit into contemporary society. Their habits are unpopular, their clothing a little too formal.

Son del Vigía: Son del Vigía
The Tepango river and the cool shade of a towering old jobo tree inspired Alejandro Domínguez and his three daughters while recording this open air son jarocho session.
Fred Eaglesmith: Tinderbox
Tinderbox is the new album by Fred Eagelsmith. This alternative gospel (gospel for non-believers) cd, is full if backsliders and people living on the margins. It rocks and rolls with distortion and preachers and end times.

Recorded live on a vintage train crossing Canada, TSS sounds like what might have happened if Robert Johnson, Richard Thompson and Ryan Adams shared some whiskey with Al Purdy and Jack Kerouac in a boxcar.
