This latest full length is made up entirely of new studio recordings that have captured the band in fantastic form.

Bloodkin – Baby They Told Us We Would Rise

Amy is starring in Craig Brewer’s $5 Cover on MTV, a series of webisodes that has begun airing in blocks at midnight on Friday nights. We were treated to a performance by Amy LaVere in Nashville, at our annual indie record store convention, and can vouch that she is daring and intriguing. “Killing him didn’t make the love go away…”
Miriam Makeba – Legend
Del McCoury – Celebrating 50 Years
A stunning five-disc box set collection encapsulating the 50-year legacy of brilliant, heartfelt music from the Bluegrass icon. With more than 30 new recordings of songs from Del’s first 40 years of performing, and an additional eighteen from the Del McCoury Band’s most essential tracks of the last decade, this quintessential box set is complete with a twelve-page full color booklet of photographs from the McCoury family archives.
Chuck Mead – Journeyman’s Wager

Meat Puppets – Sewn Together
Phoenix – Kitsun Tabloid
VNV Nation – Reformation 01
Deluxe hardcover embossed box contains two full-length CDs, a DVD, and a 32-page booklet. The first CD has twelve live tracks- the band’s first ever-live album release.

Paul Wall – Fast Life
Wooden Birds – Magnolia The Wooden Birds is the new project of American Analog Set frontman Andrew Kenny. He returned home to Austin from Brooklyn to make Magnolia, featuring members of acclaimed bands Sparklehorse, Ola Podrida and Lymbyc System. It’s a much more vocal and percussion-driven sound than the keyboardand-vibes-hypnotics of American Analog Set.
