New Music Tuesday

Tuesday is typically the day of the week that new music releases come out, and there are lots of them this week! Some are being featured in the Grass Roots Reader, but there is so much more out there. Here's what you might miss:

Pop/Folk

Carrie Elkin, Call it My Garden  ~  $17.95
Contemporary folk and americana singer-songwriter's third release demonstrates a laid-back spirit as Elkin gathers with a group of industry friends and collaborators in the kitchen of a friend's house.  The albums is produced by Colin Brooks (Band of Heathens) and fellow singer-songwriter Danny Schmidt. 

Lori McKenna, Lorraine  ~  $16.95
McKenna began her career with a piece on NPR focusing on her identity as a homemaker and mother of three children who lived a working class life and was a songwriter on the side.  Since, her songs have been performed by several mainstream country artists, and her solo CDs have garnered critical praise.  McKenna's new release is inspired by stories of her own mother's life. 

 James Vincent McMorrow, Early in the Morning  ~  $11.95
From Ireland, folk pop with mostly acoustic guitars, occasional drums and vocals, buoyed  by banjo and electric piano. McMorrow's album was considered one of the best of the year by Irish critics. 

Lynn Miles, Fall For Beauty   ~  $16.95
Canadian folk-americana artist has a beautiful catch in her voice and a way with a story.  Miles' new CD features a more polished production, as well as a fuller band sound behind her melodic tunes. 

Redbird, Live at the Cafe Carpe  ~  $16.95
Redbird is both the name of the album and the loose affiliation of three acclaimed American songwriters- Kris Delmhorst, Jeffrey Foucault and Peter Mulvey.  This live recording features tunes originally recorded by artists as diverse as Rickie Lee Jones, Neil Young, Merle Haggard and more. 

John Renbourn, Palermo Snow  ~  $18.95
Drawing on his recent excursions to Italy and its rich musical heritage Renbourn delivers another classic album of gentle, but engaging, guitar music. Seduced by the romantic grip of the area and its people he delivers a beautiful album that can only be described as timeless.
