This two-CD set picks up right where the first volume left off, a chronological account of Pye Records' releases in the Merseybeat style from January until April of 1964. There's amazingly little that isn't worth hearing -- in fact, nothing here is not worth knowing about -- among these 60 songs, even if some of the groups are almost totally unfamiliar: Me & Them, cheerful Cockney rocker Mike Goodman, Robb Storme & the Whispers (doing a pounding, beat-style version of "To Know Her Is to Love Her"), Johnny Devlin & the Detours (no, not the Who in their brief existence under that name), Teddy Green, and Peter's Faces (formerly Peter Nelson & the Travellers). One will come away from listening to this set not only with a lot of good tunes that were hits in other hands ("Yesterday's Gone" by the Overlanders, the Trends' cover of "All My Loving," "Everyday I Have to Cry" by Julie Grant, the Kinks' version of "Long Tall Sally"), but a few chart hits, in the U.K. ("Mocking Bird Hill" by the Migil Five) and internationally (a handful of Searchers singles), and lots of decent songs off the obscure side of the British Invasion. This isn't the kind of collection for someone who wants chart singles and songs recognized off the radio, but for someone who wants to hear the all-rans of that phenomenon and 140 minutes of material that's every bit as earnest (if not as inventive or distinctive) as the best work of the Beatles, Gerry & the Pacemakers, and more, this set is for you. The annotation is extensive and detailed, and the sound is excellent. (Bruce Eder, Allmusic)

Holly & Ken - The Record '15
Smooth, beautiful Everly-like harmonies, a bit of mid 60s country twang, smart lyrics, and a response to the Willie Nelson classic, Red Headed Stranger! Combine that with a drop of Posies and a dash of Nada Surf = a unique listen!!!!!! Holly is Holly Munoz; Ken is Ken Stringefellow of the Posies, Big Star, R. E. M. ; Guests include Matthew Caws of Nada Surf, Vicki Peterson of The Bangles and Continental Drifters, Seattle-ite Shelby Earl and Keren Ann. (NPR)
When two like-minded musicians opt to join forces, the results often prove spectacular. Such was the case with The Record, a loosely configured concept album supposedly inspired by Willie Nelson’s country classic Red Headed Stranger. In truth, the two sound very little alike, but given the pedigree possessed by its musical collaborators, Ken Stringfellow and Holly Muñoz -- he, a purveyor of power pop propensity via the Posies and the latter day Big Star, and she, a knowing newcomer with an astute sense of melody -- it’s not surprising that The Record resonates so effectively. The duo, who refer to themselves simply as Holly & Ken, met by chance quite awhile ago, but didn’t actually find themselves in a recording studio together for another four years. When they did, they found sympathetic company in the persons of Vicki Peterson, Matthew Caws of Nada Surf, Keren Ann and Shelby Earl, all of whom add a particular flavor and finesse to this 14 song set. Holly & Ken themselves sound more like Gram and Emmylou than Johnny and June, especially given the softer, swaying textures that illuminate this album overall. The meditative title track, an affecting but unexpected take on Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Edelweiss,” and the Bakersfield honkytonk of “Ballad of the Record” reflect the duo’s desire to fashion disparate sounds, but it’s the wistful road song “Meet Me in Miami” and the effervescent sheen of “Another One for the Record” that stand out above all else. One can only hope that despite their individual enterprises, Holly & Ken can continue to make records together in the future, because as The Record shows, they’re clearly capable of more than one spin.

The Black Hollies - Softly Towards The Light '09
After recording two albums in their home studio, the Black Hollies left the bachelor pad and ventured out into the real world -- or at least as far as Hoboken, NJ, where they shacked up inside the Pigeon Club to record 2009's Softly Towards the Light. Earlier albums introduced the band's swirling, reverent brand of '60s psychedelia, but Light couches those fuzzed-out guitar solos and double-tracked vocals in a more appropriate context, adding nostalgic production and a wider range of instruments to the mix. Justin Angelo Morey has always been the group's captain, but his bandmates do their own share of ship-steering this time around -- particularly Jon Gonnelli, who eschews his usual guitar duties and focuses on a wealth of Mellotron, keyboard, and organ parts. The chief agenda of every Black Hollies album is to evoke the '60s, a decade that inspires every facet of the band's songwriting, and Softly Towards the Light accomplishes that task with the most appropriate production of the band's career. (Allmusic)
With their new record, the New Jersey quartet continue the progression of a band from live powerhouse to expert song-crafters, blending a seductive combination of soul, British blues and a dose of garage rock. Recording outside of their own studio for the first time, the band chose the confines of Hoboken's Pigeon Club for its allegiance to warm tones and a wealth of classic keyboards. There are plenty of surprises on the album as band leader Justin Angelo Morey tackles a wealth of new pop structures amd usual guitarist Jon Gonnelli moves to the electric organ for most of the recording. That leaves room for Herbet Wiley's fuzzed out guitar heriocs, while drummer Nick Ferrante puts his live drumming theatrics on record with the band for the first time since joining in early 2008. From start to finish Softly Towards The Light brims with tight hooks and clever lyrics, another solid step forward in The Black Hollies continued evolution. (Shindig)
A mash up of British Invasion blues, guitar heroics and psychedelia that would bring a smile to Brian Jones' face. --Rolling Stone

Rural Blues Vol. 1 (1934-1956) Document Label
This is a great collection of country blues purists who refused to convert to the urban blues movement ushered in by Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Highlights of the album are Willie Lane's spirited 6 offerings especially HOWLING WOLF BLUES. Little Richard owes a debt to Monroe Moe Jackson who howls, wails, and shouts through MOVE IT ON OVER and GET AWAY FROM MY DOOR. John Lee's BABY BLUES are lively and catchy. These artists are all more into a lively Texas or Memphis version of the blues as opposed to the brooding urban or Mississippi Blues. Last but not least, taking the rural idea to the downright primitive is One String Sam playing a diddley bow (a one stringed rudimentary harp)with a great version of MY BABY OOO and an original composition I NEED A HUNDRED DOLLARS. This is a blues collection I never tire of. These pleasantly anachronistic musicians provide a diverse and vibrant blues experience! (Pre-War Blues Monthly)

Buddy Miller & Friends - Cayamo Sessions At Sea (2016)
In 2012, Cayamo veteran Buddy Miller brought along some recording gear and set up a studio in the ship's library where he and his Sirius XM co-host Jim Lauderdale recorded episodes for their Buddy & Jim Radio Show. Buddy thought the radio show recordings sounded really good so, in 2014, he brought more gear, an engineer and some great musicians. They took over the Bliss Lounge where Buddy set up a temporary recording studio between the lanes of the bowling alley. For two days and nights, guest artists came to record and fans came to watch. It was so much fun, they did it all again in 2015. The audio presented on this release comes from those sessions. It is with great pleasure that New West Records presents Buddy Miller & Friends, Cayamo Sessions At Sea. (NPR)
I was lucky enough to sit in on a couple of these intimate Cayamo sessions. The onboard Bliss Lounge was set up like a cozy living room that just happens to have top-notch headlining and supporting musicians from the cruise’s extraordinary roster doing their favorite classic covers like Lucinda Williams covering Gram Parson’s “Hickory Wind” and Kacey Musgrave covering fellow Texan Buck Owens’ ‘Love’s Gonna Live Here.’
Buddy loosely conducts the sessions in his genial way, as the event takes on more of a open jam than a staid studio session. You’re left with the impression that the live and loose sound will make it’s way to the finished mix. As it did in Nikki Lane and Buddy’s cover of Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton’s classic “Just Someone I Used to Know.”
The album will be released on on New West Records a couple of days before the fan and artist friendly 9th Cayamo, A Journey Through Song sets sail January 31, 2016 from Miami to St. Maarten and Tortola. As you might imagine it’s already sold out.
from the release: “For one week each year, some of the best songwriters in country, Americana, folk and roots music set sail on a musical adventure called Cayamo. Over the last few years, award-winning guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer Buddy Miller set up a recording studio on the ship and recorded and played with everyone from veteran songwriters to emerging artists. Buddy Miller & Friends’ Cayamo Sessions At Sea, due January 29, 2016 on New West Records, collects 11 of the best of these once-in-a-lifetime musical moments recorded on the 2014 and 2015 voyages with Kris Kristofferson, Lucinda Williams, Kacey Musgraves, Richard Thompson, Lee Ann Womack, Shawn Colvin, Nikki Lane, Brandi Carlile, The Lone Bellow, Doug Seegers and more.”

The Savoy Family Band - Cajun Album '03 (Arhoolie CD)
The Savoy Family Band: Marc Savoy - accordion & fiddle on (*); Ann Savoy - guitar & vocals; Joel Savoy - fiddle; Wilson Savoy - vocals, keyboard/piano & accordion on (**); Sarah Savoy - vocals & guitar
Marc Savoy is widely acknowledged as the reigning Godfather of traditional Cajun music. Whether playing with the old masters of the music or with his wife Ann Savoy and Michael Doucet in the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band, his accordion is firmly rooted in the sounds of Louisiana French music. It is only natural that the next generation of Savoys (Wilson, Joel, and Sarah) would offer their own, more modern take on that grand tradition. Playing with the togetherness that can only be found in ensembles of close family, The Savoy Family Band delivers the sort of excitement that comes from innovation within the deep roots of Cajun music.
"Being a part of this scene, as it gradually developed into what it has become, has made me feel that I am the richest man in the universe." - Marc Savoy

REVIEW
“If there is such a thing as Cajun music aristocracy, Marc and Ann Savoy must be its king and queen…Marc Savoy is for my money the finest Cajun accordion player of this era. He has impeccable taste, is creative without ever being affected, and plays as fast and hot as anyone, yet his playing always sounds very relaxed, as if he’s having the time of his life…If there’s a heaven, then Dewey Balfa is surely smiling to hear Joel Savoy’s beautiful fiddling, which evokes the Balfa brothers right down to the tone of the violin. He also gets in some swing licks on ‘Chataignier Two Step,’ and seems to jazz things up the most when brother Wilson is egging him on, as on ‘Ossun Two Step.’
Vocals are contributed by Ann, Wilson, and Sarah. Ann does the lion’s share of the singing and grounds the whole thing with her rock-solid guitar playing. Her vocals, always wonderful, sound even better than ever, and she has written a lovely waltz, ‘Woman with a Broken Heart,’ the melody of whish is loosely based on Shorty LeBlanc’s ‘Soldier Waltz’ (and also brings to mind D.L. Menard’s ‘En Bas de Chene Vert.’) Wilson’s singing is strong and sure, and Sarah shines on ‘Sunset Blues.’…This CD of traditional Cajun music stays true to the old-time southwest Louisiana sounds, delivered with energy, panache, finesse and exactly the right groove.”

The Easy Leaves - American Times '12
The Easy Leaves' album, American Times, is most definitely country music, but it's colored and enriched by many thoroughly integrated influences. The Leaves' harmonies are resplendent with echoes of the great "brother" acts of country music: The Louvins and Everlys. The chugging locomotion of opener "Get Down" could almost be a cousin of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues," but the merrily debauched lyrics betray the good-time inspiration of the Dead's and New Riders' cosmic cowboy ethos of the late Sixties and early Seventies. The mid-tempo sunshine of "Fool on a String" reflects a strong mid-1960s R&B influence, and the loping, amiably ominous "Better Get Off" could have come from Dylan & The Band's Basement Tapes collection.
The one aspect almost all songs on this collection share is the leanness of that Bakersfield sound, as defined by an engaging, cracking beat; the resolute twang of electric six-strings, the midnight-lonesome whine of a pedal steel guitar, and heartfelt singing with both the singer's heart and beer stains on his sleeve for the world to see. It's that relatively unadorned rawness that cuts across generations and genres. "I love music that has a sense of place: Memphis soul, Texas swing, conjunto, Delta blues," said Carducci. "Each one of those styles conveys a lot about the history of its place of origin. Bakersfield is one of those sounds, one of the signature sounds of California. There is a classic quality in the rhythm and instrumentation that kind of captures that spirit of a crowded honky-tonk [barroom]." (No Depression)
