Phillip Bracken "Everything Looks Better in Candlelight" (EP, 2008):
Five tracks from an Australian singer-songwriter, with six to seven minutes quite lengthy tracks.
Folk rock with gutsy vocals and nice stories and tunes.
Čači Vorba (Demo):
Polish-Ukrainian sextet playing Gypsy music from the Carpathian and the Balkans
on traditional instruments such as kemence, bouzouki, cobza and darabuka.
The short sound clips present high-octane instrumental music and
high vocal skills by the band's singer Maria Natanson.
Čači Vorba - true speech - how Gypsies themselves describe their own music.
Steven Casper & Cowboy Angst "Topanga Ranch Motel" (Silent City Records BRRCD-10, 2008):
Four tracks from a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter. Infectious grooves, embracing
blues and country rock, boogie woogie and folk.
Chasing Pandora "Running in Circles" (EP, Tickety-boo Records TKBCD15, 2009):
Four novel tracks by Maltese duo Melissa Portelli (vocals) and Keith Anthony (guitar).
Another acoustic pop-jazz-folk duo from that island with fine guitar playing and bittersweet vocals
(compare FW#37).
Sponsored by Airmalta to bring it around the world and not running in circles.
Eamon Friel "In for the Day" (EP, Thran Records; THR1005; 2008):
Northern Irish singer-songwriter presents two songs from his forthcoming album (FW#40),
one from his last (FW#34),
and a live version of an old favourite.
Featuring the gorgeous vocals of ex Deanta singer Mary Dillon
(#5, #6).
Ivor Game "Small" (Single, IGCDS5, 2009):
A short acoustic guitar song from the album "Inside" (2006)
by this London based singer-songwriter.
Though Ivor says he is happy with staying in my house and being small,
the song is not.
Dean Moriarty:
Another Londoner (is this his real name? - Dean Moriarty is a character in Kerouac's novel "On the Road")
recently recorded a few demos and uploaded them to
www.youtube.com/user/DSJMFM.
Featuring a song about Woody Guthrie and another about Jack Kerouac - ah!
V/A "CAT NAV - Songs and Poems of Les Barker - Guide Cats for the Blind Volume 4" (Osmosys Records; OSMO CD 050/051; 2009):
CD release to raise funds for The British Computer Association of the Blind.
Stars, celebrities and artists such as
Jez Lowe (FW#26),
Norma Waterson (#17),
Isla St Clair (#1),
Chumbawamba (#33),
Simon Mayor & Hilary James (#32)
are playing music and reading the poems of English poet and self-claimed Professional Idiot
Les Barker.
Including reworkings of "She Moved Through The Fair", "Hunting The Cutty Wren" and "Roseville Fair", as well as
parodies such as "Sloop John A" and "The De'il's Awa' Wi' The Exercise Bike".
V/A (Phil Ochs, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell) "Amchitka" (2009):
It took some time, but eventually Greenpeace Canada released a two-disc, re-mastered recording
of the fundraising concert at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver on 16 October 1970
that marks the birth of the worldwide organization known today as Greenpeace.
The concert, a fundraiser to protest U.S. nuclear bomb tests near the Aleutian Island of Amchitka,
was featuring US singer-songwriters James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and the late Phil Ochs.
The CD is available exclusively through Greenpeace and all proceeds will benefit the organization.
V/A "UN-HERD... Volume 15":
Each issue of R2 magazine (formerly Rock'n'Reel) consists of
a free, jewel-cased CD compilation. Vol. 15 found its way to our webzine
(while #17 is on sale now).
Roots, rock and blues music featuring new recordings by
And Did Those Feet (FW#24),
Elbow Jane (#39),
The Men They Couldn't Hang (#25),
Show of Hands (#28),
Little Johnny England (#21),
Ned Ludd (#35), etc.
