STARS This one showcases a newfound brashness, from songs like "Won't Go Down," which reflects on the challenges of living a fun, free life while staying morally grounded, to "Worrying Mind" which answers the call from her song "Ease My Mind" as she traded in her life in New York City for the more relaxed atmosphere of Nashville. Michaela Anne's evolution is even evident in the album's cover, in which she sports a bedazzleddenim outfit, a vintage find that's perfect for catching the spotlight. Recorded with producer Dan Knobler (Mason Jar Music), Bright Lights and the Fame features a slate of special guests that include Americana stalwarts Rodney Crowell and Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers) along with co-writes from acclaimed producer Dave Brainard (Brandy Clark, Jamey Johnson). http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/908upcsh.htm ======================================================================================= EZF 3 JIM KWESKIN & GEOFF MULDAUR : CHASIN' GUS' GHOST CD 03.2019 Using as a point-of-entry the introduction to four popular celebrators of that form - Gus Cannon, Cannon's Jug Stompers, the Dixieland Jug Blowers and the Memphis Jug Band - Kwait then employs a co-mingling of archival clips and photographs and interviews to illustrate how jug music impacted folk and rock music from the 1960s through the 1970s. He subsequently moves into a discussion and exploration of jug music's widespread popularity in contemporary Japanese culture. Participants (and interviewees) include Bob Weir, Fritz Richmond, John Sebastian, Jim Kweskin, Geoff Muldaur and others. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/908upcsh.htm ======================================================================================= KWR 1405 PUSHING CHAIN PUSHING CHAIN CD 03.2019 01. I'LL LOVE YOU MORE 02. THE DARKNESS 03. RIGHT 04. ONE MORE TIME 05. EARWIG 06. DON'T ASK WHY 07. TIGHTROPES AND FINE LINES 08. BROKEN OARS 09. WITHOUT YOUR LOVE Featuring eight songs written by Blomberg and one by Moe, tight harmonies, a jazz -based rhythm section, and the masterful engineering and production of Tom Herbers, the project gives Pushing Chain an excellent studio polish without losing the flavor of the their live shows. The duo plays roots and Americana music. Pushing Chain believes in strong harmonies, kazoos, and sad songs; in performing songs we've never played together, and jamming with people we've just met; that a guitarist and a fiddler can cover Hendrix if they want to; that music can cause tears and laughter, sometimes in the course of one song, and that a good band can make strangers share a table. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/908upcsh.htm ======================================================================================= KWR 1603 JIM KWESKIN & GEOFF MULDAUR : PENNYS fARM CD 03.2019 01.

MY BABY'S KISSES 11. YESTERDAY'S COFFEE 12. RONDO UP! This is Pushing Chain at their best, playing and singing their original folky-tonk music backed by some of the best players in Austin, Texas: Kirchen on guitar, Hallman on piano and organ, David Carroll on bass, and Rick Richards on drums. Texas guitar legend Redd Volkaert also makes an appearance on the last cut, an instrumental number that puts an exclamation point on the album these 12 songs deserved - a straight-up Americana/country record that would have been as at home in 1968 as it is in 2018. Pushing Chain is Boyd Blomberg on guitar and vocals and Adam Moe on fiddle and vocals. The duo recently celebrated 20 years of making music together, as well as the release of their new album, Sorrows Always Swim. Playing approximately 200 shows every year, Boyd and Adam have been doing what they can to spread their brand of folky-tonk roots music far and wide in venues big and small across the United States and Canada. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/908upcsh.htm =======================================================================================
