CDs:

Against Me - The Original Cowboy

Album comprised of demos from 2003’s As The Eternal Cowboy.

Alchemist - Chemical Warfare

Superproducer Alchemist’s gritty east coast-flavored rhythms have blessed the likes of Mobb Deep, Eminem, Nas, and Snoop Dogg.

All Time Low - Nothing Personal

Blagojevich Blunders

Governor Rod Blagojevich held Illinois hostage for the better part of two months, while his parade of rants, taunts and outrageous phone conversations kept America in a perpetual state of head-scratching. The Blagojevich Odyssey came to a merciful end, but the goofy references to Gandhi and cowboys lives on forever.

Broken Records - Until The Earth Begins To Part

Scottish seven-piece releases their debut. They've already been tipped for greatness by NME, Q, and The Word. “Epic, swirling, joyfully mysterious music with a warmth and heart.'' —The Guardian

A comprehensive album featuring a mix of new songs, never-before-heard B-sides and live recordings, as well as re-recorded classics and previously unreleased tracks.

Drive By Truckers - Live From Austin TX

Recorded during their Brighter Than Creation's Dark tour, the band line up featured is Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, Shonna Tucker, John Neff, Brad Morgan, and Jay Gonzalez.

Chris Garneau - El Radio

There is still a poignant melancholy and bold sincerity that permeates all of Garneau's music, but those qualities are augmented by a playfulness in his melodies and arrangements. Garneau's extensive cast of characters unavoidably comment on the social and political forces that pull us unpredictably through time while rollicking to the rhythms of an organ grinder. RIYL: Thao Nguyen, Rufus Wainwright, Elliott Smith, Xiu Xiu.

Barry Goldberg – Barry Goldberg

First time on CD. Produced by BOB DYLAN and JERRY WEXLER. Now, with access to the original multi-track masters, Barry has restored the album as it was originally conceived. The missing vocals from Muscle Shoals are here seeing the light for the very first time. “I was unhappy about this for more than 35 years”, says Barry who often contemplated that if he could do one thing over in his life it would be getting the album out as it was intended to sound. Now, that often elusive second chance has come.

MGMT’s first release, previously only available on their early tours. Features last year’s hit ''Time To Pretend'' plus five rare tracks.

Minus 5 - Killingsworth

The eighth album from the loose creative collective/serious drinking association helmed by wayfarer and musical enabler Scott McCaughey. Incoherent yarns mostly told after midnight by highway hobos in and around Portland, Oregon?  Surely.

Born from a sickening lust of horrors, drugs, insane occult visions, and a desire to create the heaviest doom metal anti-music of all time.

Nebula - Heavy Psych

The New Riders Of The Purple Sage - 12/31/77 Winterland San Francisco, CA

South Florida-based post-hardcore titans.

New album carries on the traditions of The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, and Little Feat. True Americana.

Those Darlins - Those Darlins

Those Darlins is a pop group, if they are any one thing, which doesn't mean anybody with ears can't hear the country and rock & roll in their sound. After seducing live audiences nationwide supporting acts as various as Dan Auerbach, Boss Hog, Wanda Jackson, Ida Maria and Deer Tick, Those Darlins quickly became the "it" band at this year's SXSW. We've had the vinyl version of this for a few weeks now- it KILLS!

Tiny Vipers - Life On Earth

Seattle disparate.

Various Artists - Poet: A Tribute to Townes Van Zandt

Poet gathers a talented assortment of Van Zandt contemporaries and apostles to pay tribute to the man by lovingly reinterpreting his songs. Steve Earle electrifies ''Two Girls'' while Billy Joe Shaver tackles ''White Freightliner Blues''. ''Tower Song,'' one of the most poignant breakup songs ever written, is revived by Nanci Griffith, and Willie Nelson provides a conversational version of "Marie."
