Celtic Woman : Believe Since Celtic Woman’s March 2005 American debut on public television, the unique all-female ensemble has emerged as a spectacular commercial success and a genuine cultural phenomenon. The adored ensemble’s evocative, uplifting music has crossed over national and cultural borders to touch the hearts of a devoted fan base of public television enthusiasts.
Grateful Dead: Dick’s Picks 32 East Troy WI 1982 This 1982 date gets off to a flying start with the unusual medley sandwiching Sugaree between two renditions of The Music Never Stopped, and presents another rare pairing of Jesse Fuller s Beat It On Down the Line and the Memphis Jug Band s On the Road Again, two songs that were part of the Dead s repertoire way back in the mid- 60s when they were known as The Warlocks. That s set one; set two is mainly devoted to a ferocious medley of Playing in the Band/Drums/Space/The Wheel/Playing in the Band/Morning Dew. The complete show on two discs, from one of the Dead s (and Deadheads ) favorite venues and one of the rarest volumes in the Dicks Picks series, never before available at music retail!

The Little Willies : For The Good TimesSix years since the release of their self-titled debut album, The Little Willies return with another collection of easy-breezy interpretaions of classic country tunes (Jolene, Remember Me, Fist City). Fronted by Norah Jones, and featuring the marvelous guitar work of Jim Campilongo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex Chilton : Free Again The 1970′s SessionsThe late Alex Chilton was the soulful lead singer of The Box Tops (my baby she wrote me a letter) but he never had the opportunity to perform his original songs with the band. Although he was under contract with American Studios, he snuck into Ardent Studios to record his own music. This album is sort of the bridge from the Box Tops to his critically acclaimed group Big Star. The music is inventive and played with lots of spirit, some R&B, a little country flavor, and a wacked out version of “Jumping Jack Flash”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charlie Haden & Hank Jones : Come Sunday16 years ago, Charlie Haden and Hank Jones released an album called “Steal Away”. It is a 5 star, must-own, collection of spirituals, hymns and folk songs; duets for piano and bass. Come Sunday was recorded in 2010, just 3 months before pianist Hank Jones passed away. Ironically, there are a couple of Christmas songs (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and It Came Upon A Midnight Clear) which might be cool, but Christmas just ended! This album actually has superior sound to “Steal Away”, and you can always skip the Christmas songs until next December.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snow Patrol : Fallen Empires Snow Patrol formed in 1994 in Scotland by Northern Irish students. Their music has been described as epic, melancholic rock , and might appeal to fans of Coldplay. Fallen Empire is the group’s sixth studio album.
Snow Patrol Fun Fact: Before they were Snow Patrol, their name was Polar Bear.

Rebelution : Peace of Mind The 4th studio album from the popular Reggae band from Santa Barbara.
The Kids Love ‘Em!
