John Doe & The Sadies --"Country Club"... Eilen Jewell --"Sea of Tears"... Todd Snider-- "Excitement Plan"... Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women... Red Stick Ramblers-- "My Bags Are Always Packed"... Patterson Hood-- "Murdering Oscar (and Other Love Songs)" ... Alela Diane-- "To Be Still"

There's so much good stuff out there. Support these artists and your local purveyor of fine music by buying one, two or all of them!
