And The War Came
by Shakey Graves
This album caught my ear. The simple arrangements of edgy country, blues riffs and high energy tunes is a refreshing mix up of styles. The harmonies are awesome.

NORTH COUNTRY GENTLEMEN
by North Country Gentlemen
I heard this group from Vancouver, BC while listening to Laurel Canyon Radio (check them out too!). Great harmonies, sweet southern-folky sound and a kick-ass name.

Temporary Things
by Clara Baker
Clara's songwriting is fresh and honest and her voice is clear and gorgeous. It's great easy listening, feel-good string music - at once joyful and melancholy, a genuine reflection on life and love.
