Phil Lee - So Long, It’s Been Good To Know You CD (SteadyBoy)
With thirty years of roadwork and songwriting, Nashville singer songwriter Phil Lee is the real deal.

Rock Plaza Central - At The Moment Of Our Most Needing CD (Paperbag)
“This is a straight-forward, Americana-flavored indie rock album. There’s something of a Western aspect to the roll of the lyrics – almost like a desert album accidentally fallen into the hands of a city indie band. There is also some pretty lonesome fiddle screeching going on at times, squarely in Spaghetti Western territory, but whilst they flirt with this aesthetic, they never seem to quite give themselves over to it entirely.” -- songbytoad.com

With leader Jakob Dylan overseeing its production and compiling the track list, the 16-track Collected: 1996-2005 is the definitive look at a critically-acclaimed favorite of the past decade, whose tales of disillusionment and perseverance were wrapped in a sound both gritty and polished, melancholy and aggressive.
Wand - Hard Knox CD (Ecstatic Peace)
A collection of demos, outtakes and home recordings. "These lo-fi hymns succeed because they're highly listenable. The collection's direct, unadorned, honest, and idiosyncratic. Like neo-folk's most interesting players (Banhart, Ben Chasny, Joanna Newsom), Toth sounds more like his precursors than his contemporaries, and very much like himself." -- Pitchfork
Holly Williams - Here With Me CD (Mercury Nashville)
The granddaughter of Hank Williams and daughter of Hank Jr. has succeeded in creating the type of album that would easily find a place among the works of her favorite artists: Tom Waits, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Robert
