ERIC BIBB - DEEPER IN THE WELL
The prolific Eric Bibb keeps putting out fine albums and this latest is no exception. Recorded in Louisiana, with influences from down that way, fiddle, banjo, accordian, combined with Bibb's flawless vocals and guitar, this is a worthy edition to the Bibb catalogue.
Australian blues guitarist and singer Fiona Boyes soulful, authoritative style is brilliantly displayed on her new US release "Blues For Hard Times" — has earned Boyes unprecedented international recognition.

SPECIAL PROFILE: KEVIN GORDON - GLORYLAND
ROR RECOMMENDS!Here's what Peter Cooper, in the Tennessean, has to say: "We'll empty your spit-valve for life if you find us anything more stunning than 'Colfax,' [Kevin Gordon's] undeniably superb song that could only have come from one mind, and from one person's experience. It's ostensibly about a kid in the marching band but winds up being about the heart of American darkness and the steel that it takes to move beyond." .
Kevin Gordon is my favorite musician of all time and this record is unbelievably GREAT!!!

SPECIAL PROFILE - PAUL CURRERI
Raised in Richmond, Virginia, Paul Curreri now makes his home in Charlottesville with songwriter/guitarist Devon Sproule; the two were married in May of 2005. Though he grew up playing music, he ended up enrolling at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to pursue painting and film. While his experiences at art school helped develop his ability to observe and record the visual world, his true passion again rose to the surface. By the time Paul graduated from RISD, he'd composed over 200 songs on guitar and piano. Turning down a job at MTV, he set to work carving out a life as a musician. The Big Shitty is his latest album and puts him into the Dylan, Springsteen, Joe Henry school of music. 4 stars for this album.

LEEROY STAGGER & THE WILD FLOWERS
2011 album "Little Victories" from Canadian Leeroy Stagger is a top Americana album worthy of a listen. "Little Victories" is Stagger’s most realized effort to date and he begins the album with a standout track, “Everyone’s On Drugs”. A haunting tune with far more than just an effortless melody and a tender vocal performance, the song tells a complex tale of substance abuse. As the song progresses, the layers unfold and revelations about the societal implications of self medication bring themselves to the forefront, demonstrating Stagger’s thoughtful lyrical style. ROR RECOMMENDS!
KENTUCKY THUNDER - 'BOUT DAMN TIME
Each member of Kentucky Thunder — Etta Britt, Vickie Carrico, Sheila Lawrence and Jonell Mosser — is a formidable vocalist and bandleader who can pack clubs and raise roofs on their own. For 13 years, the four friends have come together for occasional four-on-the-floor concerts to shout hallelujah and share their talent for finding the soulful, ecstatic heart of the country-rock-R&B-roots music they all love. This seriously fun endeavor has always been a loose side project for the four Kentucky natives, and they’ve never bothered to record as a group — until now.
DAN MICHAELSON
ROR RECOMMENDS!Dan Michaelson is the 33 year-old whisky barrel baritone and short-legged leader of Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards. His baritone voice seems to know about the dirty and the pure and his song's reflect the feeling on SUDDEN FICTION his new solo album.
SKITTISH - THE PERFECT GARDEN OF GREEN
Skittish is folk-rock with thorns.
Skittish is suburban surrender and sexual tension.
Most of all, Skittish is the collection of Minneapolis musicians,
led by Jeff Noller and Vonnie Kyle, who have mixed their talents
into the gumbo that is 'The Perfect Shade of Green.' And this is pretty damn good!!! ROR RECOMMENDS!
