Here are a few recent discoveries in the collection:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Carrie Rodriguez<\/a> – saw her on Austin City Limits and had to check it out further. Sounds modern and traditional at the same time. Interesting songs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Be Good Tanya’s<\/a> – I think they came up in an amazon.com list after looking at the Wailin’ Jennys. Who knows? but they’re good! They seem to be on leave at the moment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Red Molly<\/a> – We saw them at Club Passim in Cambridge recently and they are very entertaining and great musicians. They are still on tour.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sara Watkins<\/a> – Solo album. She of Nickel Creek, I enjoyed this one, too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bill Frisell – Disfarmer<\/a> – new CD from Frisell written to accompany a photo exhibit by Arkansas portrait photographer Michael Disfarmer. You can hear it on NPR<\/a> if you want. Another mix of new and old sounding music. Some of the stuff sounds like Phillip Glass and other like Hank Williams. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Marc Ribot<\/a> – After reading an article in my favorite mag – Fretboard Journal<\/a> – decided I needed to explore his music. Hard to pin down, depending on the setting, but I like the Cuban inspired band Los Cubanos Postizos and his solo guitar work, like on the Masada Guitars<\/a> album, which also has Frisell on it. He’s also worked with Tom Waits, Albert Ayler, and the Raising Sand album with Robert Plant and Alison Kraus. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oldies but Goodies Dept.<\/b><\/div>\n
Picked up some blasts from the past – Little Feat, Old and in the Way, It’s a Beautiful Day, Pentangle, Mingus, Wes, Grisman, and Piazzola! Too many to mention and go into detail on, but a good mix to add to the collection. <\/div>\n
I will mention one name, however, and that is Cal Collins<\/a>, who I saw in Cincinnati quite a bit when I was there and is the most awesome jazz guitarist you never heard of. I had all his records and the digital versions are hard to come by. Luckily discovered some online, because they are not all available on CD or mp3.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That’s it for now, check out this music now.<\/div>\n
