Plus a Little Bass Jazz, Local Metal, FREE Blues
FREE 17-song sampler includes most of the cream of the label’s current roster and is available to download through May 11.

Plus Eric Clapton, Blackberry Smoke, BRMC and More
A roaring doom band that embraces industrial elements to create atmospheric and layered songs. “Rust” has a faster tempo and is more technically oriented than what is usually expected from bands of the genre...

Plus Bill Frisell, Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell, Sexmob (!)
Country music seems to be over-populated by pop acts, but that isn’t the case here. With hints of Americana, folk, blues and pure twang, this is a throwback of a country record. Layered harmonies paired with steel guitar create warm songs that are easy to embrace...

Plus - Nonpoint, Shadowboxers, Aaron Neville
Snowbird season will be over before you know it, so grab a piece of this much-loved duo (second only to Banjorama ‘round these parts) while you can. If you’ve seen these guys live, you know their shows are like hanging out with old friends, and the best parts of this record capture a similar vibe...

Plus Tony Vegas, Hooten Hallers, Legdraggers
Two members, two polar opposite voices, and one fine record. The Hooten Hallers are what would happen if the Black Keys were southern fried and served up alongside Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Every single track on this album deserves multiple listens. It’s that good...

Plus Quaildogs, Quiet People, Luke Winslow King
Michigan-born, New Orleans-honed bluesman-guitarist King looks like an old photograph. His voice is soft but jaunty and clear. He has a wry, Depression-era way with optimistic blues and gospelinflected lyrics. Tweed Recording is an Oxford, Mississippi based outfit that has a long list of up and coming clients, and some name bands like Jars of Clay.
