Return of the Communion! New Music

Man, the cobwebs are thick! Time to sip the bourbon and share some new music. Just a couple albums you should add to your library.

Chris Thile & Michael Daves
Sleep with One Eye Open
Nonesuch Records

Mavin meets tradition in a New York City bar. The journey leads to a Nashville studio owned by Jack White. The end result, an incredible hour of music that absolutely ROCKS! These two beyond-incredible musicians attack bluegrass-y tunes with a fervor and end up presenting it in a raw form that takes the concept one step beyond. Buy this NOW!

Greg Brown
Freak Flag
Yep Roc Records

The weathered voice is unmistakably Greg Brown and the story is as good as the record. His 24th release was delayed by a lightning strike that wiped out all but the title track of the record. Brown picked up his bags and headed to Memphis to re-record the lost tunes plus add a few more. Great stuff from a tremedously cool cat.
