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.
