Brad Pitt Light Orchestra - Fireside Chat
Imagine an evening sing-song in front of a blazing fire with a selection of your most urbane friends. Fireside Chat, the BPLO's first EP, is the aural equivalent, packed full of toe-warming vocal harmonies and sparklingly witty lyrics. Unclassifiable but instantly classic.
This unique recording consists of 11 new tracks which showcase the unique chemistry of piano and voice that is the hallmark Faye Patton sound at it's rawest. Ranging from classic jazz balladry to fingerdefying blues/gospel basslines, this is an entirely original collection. Recorded at Overtones, Holborn, London, the actual grand piano featured on this CD, is once again courtesy of Katia Labeque(virtuoso classical/jazz pianist recently featured in Madonnas film 'I'm Going to Tell You A...

The rich melodies, insightful lyrics and George’s powerful vocals, make this Album a pleasure to listen to and something a bit different...….a real ‘feel good’ experience not to be missed.
The Curst Sons’ keenly anticipated follow up to “A Day Late and a Dollar Short”, “Hell Awaits You”, continues the boys’ vigorous rummage through the roots music of pre Rock & Roll USA. Irreverently mixing elements of Blues, Folk and Bluegrass with occasional hints of Afro-Latin and New Orleans Jazz, the Curst Sons’ raw and rootsy sound is both deeply traditional and weirdly contemporary. Luke Cresswell plays percussion on three of the tracks on Hell Awaits You. Oscar nominated film...
Inspired by vitality and spontaneity of early American folk music the Sons mostly write their own songs, avoiding reverential “folky” imitation and adding a shot of urban grit and a dose of rye humour. This collection includes some songs first heard in live session on Mark Lamarr's BBC Radio 2 show. "A fine new album...loads of good things..." - Mark Lamarr BBC RADIO 2
Jeannie And The Boys - Jeannie And The Boys
Sweet songs carried on a jazzy groove with sprinkles of folkiness - deceptively simple songs, ethereal vocals, dreamlike mellow music.
'Kin' is the debut album from Anglo-Irish songwriting partners The Portraits. Its 11 highly personal songs use colourful acoustic arrangements and choir-like vocals to present various takes on family, ambition and bereavement. With lyrics at times humerous and at others painfully reflective, this is adult pop with a distinctly theatrical edge.
The True Deceivers - Lies We Have Told
Fiddle driven roots/ folk rock. Lies We Have Told received a great reception on its release in 2007 including 4 stars out of 5 from Rock n Reel Magazine.
Chris Elam - Little Heart Explosions
Upbeat, melodious rhythms, catchy tunes that draw the listener in, poignant lyrics exploring the mystical element in man. It was whilst living on a Goan beach that I picked up the guitar. I teach Yoga and Meditation, and in that still space, a good yune usually emerges, and this latest CD has taken about 3 years from conception to mixing. All my songs are dedicated to the spiritual search in man, and to the surrender of the limited ego.
Judy Clark, and a few of her Montana friends, come together for an unforgettable collaboration of music, nostalgia and fun. Sit back, garb a cup o' joe, close your eyes and enjoy authentic juke joint classics from the '20's, '30's and '40's - American's age of innocence.
Take Two - My Heart Lies There
Traditional folk songs, blended with modern songs "in the tradition" and a couple of classic self penned tracks make the debut CD by this acoustic duo a feast for any folk fan.
Jennifer Johnson - My Secret Garden
My Secret Garden is a relaxing Celtic music CD of traditional, contemporary and original songs by Celtic singer Jennifer Johnson, inspired by Mary Black.
Funklein - Mystery Of Difference
Mystery of Difference is an album of intriguing songs which are intimate, challenging, comforting and deeply emotive. John's deep, warm voice is acconpanied with acoustic and electric guitars and the music always seems to enhance and never drowns out the lyrics. You can hear every word of the songs quite clearly whilst enjoying their beautiful simplicity.
