Last Week:

String Cheese Incident - Trick or TreatString Cheese Incident - Trick or Treat (2 live CDs) - The timing is fitting, considering the 2CD set was culled from a variety of epic SCI "Hulaween" shows. From Philadelphia's Electric Factory (1999), Portland, Maine's State Theatre (2000), NYC's Theatre at Madison Square Garden (2001), Sin City's Cox Pavillion (2003) and the Exhibition Center @ Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin (2004) - Trick or Treat journeys through the years to re-visit some of the band's most classic Incidents from Halloweens past. This Best Of set offers seven of SCI's famous Halloween cover sets including String Cheese performing songs by such artists as the Beatles, KC & The Sunshine Band, Phish, Nelly and many others. Features brand new original artwork from Michael Everett. $18.98

 

Gov't Mule - By a Thread CDGov't Mule - By A Thread CD - A wildly creative and fearsomely talented rock band lauded by Rolling Stone for successfully bringing the classic power-trio sound of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience into the 21st Century has completed work on By A Thread - their first studio album in 3 years.

Recorded largely at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio in 2009, the album s origins are apparent from the first track, Broke Down On The Brazos, named after the nearby river, with a deep Texas stomp for the backbeat and featuring the trademark guitar-work of ZZ Top founder Billy Gibbons. $14.98

 

Bassnectar - Cozza Frenzy CDBassnectar - Cozza Frenzy CD - Bassnectar’s own label Amorphous Music teams up with Child’s Play Records to unleash Cozza Frenzy, an amalgamation of sound that combines dubstep, electro, hip hop, and all styles of dirty digital bass-heavy music and smashes it all into a collision of wobbling, intense basslines, and hypnotic hide-and-seek adventures. A work 3 years in the making, this rich and eclectic collection of 15 songs features collaborations with artists such as Fever Ray, Zumbi of Zion I, Mr. Projectile, and Capital J. $14.98

 


Garage A Trois - Power PatriotGarage A Trois - Power Patriot CD
- Garage A Trois is a collaboration between four of the most visionary improvisers of the time: Skerik on saxophones, Mike Dillon on vibes, Marco Benevento on keyboards and Stanton Moore on drums. And while improvisation is at the heart of what this quartet has built its reputation on at their legendary New Orleans Jazzfest sets and rare, but in demand, club tours, it's the intricate sonic collages, tightly orchestrated arrangements and positively modern approach to instrumental songwriting that's at the heart of their latest album, Power Patriot. $13.98

 


Squirrel Nut Zippers - Lost at Sea CDSquirrel Nut Zippers - Lost at Sea (live) CD - Our new live record “Lost At Sea” is now free to roam amongst you in your living rooms and places of leisure. "Lost At Sea" heralds in our divined return from the depths. Poseidon could not keep us pinned beneath the waves. The Cyclops could not sequester us in his cave for devouring. Lo, the Sirens of the Night Clubs have led us back home to you. And what a handsome audience you are! $13.98

 

 


Blind Boys of Alabama - Duets CDBlind Boys of Alabama - Duets CD
- The Blind Boys have frequently been invited to appear on other great artists' albums, resulting in a number of performances that have been collected into Duets. Their first-ever duets collection includes songs with Ben Harper, Bonnie Raitt, Randy Travis, Lou Reed, Solomon Burke, Susan Tedeschi and Asleep at the Wheel. In addition, it features three new recordings with Lou Reed, blues legend John Hammond, and Jamaican legend Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals. The diverse group of artists collaborating on Duets reflects the expansive appeal of the group as well as the sweeping reverence for their talent. This new album follows their Grammy and Dove Award-winning CD Down in New Orleans. $17.98

 

Del McCoury - Family Circle CDDel McCoury Band - Family Circle CD - The band's first non-gospel studio album since 2005's Grammy winning "The Company We Keep" shows that somehow, Del McCoury keeps getting better with age. This release features the same top notch picking and singing you expect, but also shows the band continues to grow and evolve with some song selections and arrangements that may surprise you. There are some covers--as the band has come to be known for over the years--with tunes formerly recorded by Slim Whitman, Mark Knopfler, and Solomon Burke, but probably most surprising is Jerry Lee Lewis' "Break Up" on which the band uses their acoustic instruments to mimic The Killer's piano sounds. There are also some more traditional numbers and a gospel quartet that shows the McCourys as a band don't get enough credit for their vocal ability. All the songs are backed by the slickest picking in the land, and the combination makes for what some are already saying is the best recording the Del McCoury Band has ever made. $14.98

 

Sam Bush - Circles Around Me CDSam Bush- Circles Around Me CD - Sam Bush's eighth solo album. 14-song set includes appearances by Del McCoury, Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas and, thanks to the discovery of an old demo, New Grass Revival co-founder Courtney Johnson (posthumously). The album also employs Bush's band: Scott Vestal, Stephen Mougin, Byron House and Chris Brown. $17.98

 

 

 

Lubriphonic - Soul Solution CDLubriphonic - Soul Solution CD - Lubriphonic is one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Chicago in ages, incorporating elements of funk, hard soul, and rock into a live show that leaves audiences breathless. With a starring cast of six musicians (including a full horn section), Lubriphonic will be touring throughout the Midwest and West this summer, including two slots at both High Sierra Music & The Telluride Blues & Brews Festivals. They have recently opened for acts as diverse as George Clinton & P-Funk, Derek Trucks, Porter, Batiste & Stoltz w/ Kyle Hollingsworth, Pangea w/ Michael Kang, Poi Dog Pondering, Freddy Jones Band and the Greyboy Allstars.
