Calexico
Carried to Dust [ Spunk! Records / CD - released 22/Sep/2008 ] After 'Garden Ruin' (2006), which downplayed the last half of Calexico's portmanteau name considerably in favor of an alt-folk, 'Carried to Dust' is a strong return to the classic Calexico sound. |
Blue Mountain
Midnight in Mississippi [ Broadmoor Records / CD - released 18/Sep/2008 ] Smooth, mellow country rock with just a little twang, 'Midnight in Mississippi' is a bit slicker in approach than this long-running alt-country band's early albums, closer in spirit to Firefall than to Wilco. |
Rufus Wainwright
Release the Stars [ Geffen Records / CD - released 15/May/2007 ] This is Wainwright's first new material since 2005's remarkable 'Want Two' and is a 12-track masterclass in songwriting and production. 'Release the Stars' is a very satisfying album, which includes the brilliant single "Going to a Town". |
Soundtrack / Original music by Jeff Tweedy
Chelsea Walls [ Rykodisc / CD - released 11/Jul/2002 ] Deep, engaging instrumental pieces plus songs from Wilco founder / leader / frontman Jeff Tweedy, and friend, Billy Bragg |
Grand Drive
Everyone [ Loose Records / CD - released 16/Aug/2007 ] Their fith album contains all the classic Grand Drive trademarks - namely brilliant, evocative songwriting that’s rich in harmony and heavy in soul, played with an insistent determination to stay true to themselves. |
