New album - Fiona Boyes "Blues Woman"
Our newest album, just released to radio, is
Blues Woman,
the new studio/contemporary blues album
from guitarist/vocalist Fiona
Boyes.
Recorded in Austin TX, with a full band including special guests Marcia
Ball, Pinetop Perkins, and Watermelon Slim, Blues Woman manifests the soulful, authoritative style
of this native Australian and three-time Blues Music Award nominee to
full effect. Its 15 songs run a rollicking trip through the
contemporary blues landscape — from Chicago to Texas to Mississippi’s
hill country and the Delta, all evocatively conjured by Boyes’ and
producer Mark “Kaz” Kazanoff’s true-to-the-bone arrangements.

New album - Mary Flower "Bridges"
Our previous release, from earlier this
year, is Bridges
by acoustic folk/blues guitarist Mary
Flower.
Nominated
"Acoustic Artist of the Year" in the 2008 Blues Music Awards and with
two top-three finishes in the National Fingerpicking Guitar
Championship to her credit, Mary Flower is a highly respected and
world-renowned singer/guitarist who boasts more stylistic diversity
than just about any other artist currently recording under the
“acoustic blues” banner.
Bridges
brings together influences from a myriad of roots music genres,
blending acoustic blues, ragtime, jazz, and old-time gospel music into
a unique whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
With a
passel of musical guests including Tim O'Brien and Tony Furtado, the
resulting album combines the smoothness of Bonnie Raitt with the
whimsical vaudevillian charisma of Leon Redbone and the early jazz
inflections of artists like Fats Waller and Jelly Roll Morton.
