Sara Hickman breaks new ground with her latest release, Faithful Heart,
a compilation of groove-oriented contemporary folk pop. "No Name
For Love" features Sara's soulful vocals, a rich musical texture,
and a great melodic hook that will definitely have your listeners CD: Faithful Heart Track 2 A preview of Michael Johnathon's forthcoming CD Homestead, "America" recalls the innocence we lost to the tragic events of 9/11. This song features IBMA Dobro Player of the Year Rob Ickes and J.P. Pennington from the rock group EXILE on backup vocals. Album release date scheduled for early 2003. CD: HomeStead Track 3 Bagpiper Tom Lenahan has been playing his unique blend of Celtic-American music since 1985. Rebel Song is a satirical, uptempo number about some people who might be less than thrilled should lasting peace ever actually "breakout" in Northern Ireland. CD: Brand New Bag! Track 4 Pacific Northwest-based Misty River is an all-female acoustic quartet that combines folk, country, and bluegrass styles to create a traditional Americana sound that is their very own. Check out the breathtaking harmony vocals in their live rendition of The Roseville Fair. CD: Live at the Backgate
Stage Track 5 The great thing about the Clumsy Lovers is that their songs fit just about every radio format. That Was Your Mother is a Paul Simon zydeco song with an Americana edge that has a bluegrass breakdown. A very adventurous cut! CD: Under The Covers Track 6 Fans of Alison Krauss and Nickel Creek take note. This 21 year-old fiddle champion and singer/songwriter is already turning a lot of heads. On Dream, Bethany teams up with Bryan Sutton and Nashville's "A" list to create a heartfelt song with great emotional depth. CD: This Beautiful
Life Track 7 Billy Rawlett's attention
to poetic detail and musical dynamics has made him a standout among today's
Texas songwriters. Horses Riding Through A Forgotten Time is a well crafted,
super charged narrative that takes you on one CD: Latent Treasures Track 8 Ever dream of running with the bulls through the gorgeous landscape of Barcelona, Spain? Then this track is for you! With the flamenco rhythms of Barcelona, the instrumental ensemble, The Reunion, brings all the majesty of Spain to radio. CD: Closure Track 9 WARNING...We were floored by this Scottish band's stunning vocals, passionate playing and crisp songwriting. True Love's Eyes is a powerful romantic ballad that blends the best of modern music with traditional Celtic roots. Highly recommended! CD: Uncertain Wonders Track 10 Anybody who has ever tried to quit smoking will fall over laughing at this tune from Canadian songwriter Lenore. Her second release reinforces her reputation as a fun-loving yet intelligent writer who has created her own unique acoustic rock sound. Guaranteed to make you smile! CD: Summer Dancing Track 11 Prairie Soul's Crossin' My Mind features songwriter Cory Danyluk's ragged countrified stylings and violinist Sarah Jane Card's back porch playing. DJ's looking to add more authentic roots music to their playlists will love this duo from Alberta, Canada. CD: Wooden Nickel Track 12 In remembrance of Marty Robbins who passed away 20 years ago, Mark and Kimberlee's tribute to the late songwriter is full of hot pickin' and fiery vocals that would even make Marty proud. Call now for the entire CD. CD: Acoustically
Native Track 13 With sweet longing
and superb production, Minneapolis-based songwriter, Barb Ryman, serves
up a little "Paradise" from her award winning album, Falling
Down To Heaven. "Paradise" is a melodically driven expression
of finding hope CD: Falling Down
To Heaven Track 14 In a world of overproduced and superficial pop songs, Jan Seides reminds us how powerful simplicity can be. Blending folk, pop, and jazz influences, Jan's original Slowly But Surely is a sparsely produced gem that features only her voice and one guitar. Absolutely irresistible! CD: Slowly But Surely
