The New Mastersounds - The Nashville Session LP::The 10-track collection was multi-tracked live to one-inch tape in a single evening session at Welcome To 1979 studio in Nashville, TN in front of a small studio audience. Following the performance, the recordings were mixed down to quarter-inch stereo tape and then cut direct to vinyl lacquers. There are no guests and no overdubs--essentially The New Mastersounds--pure and unadulterated. Hitting the studio at the tail end of the band's Fall/Winter 2015 cross-country U.S. tour when they were at the top of their game musically, they selected material to record from across their 16-plus year career and ten studio albums. The Nashville Session will be released as a limited edition, 1000-piece vinyl exclusive pressing.

Johnny Winter with Dr. John - Live in Sweden 1987 CD or DVD:: Blues legend Johnny Winter is joined by the equally legendary Dr. John on Swedish TV, recorded in 1987. From the opening notes of Sound the Bell to the finale of a positively incendiary Jumpin Jack Flash, Winter is in great form. The blues and rock take a side trip to New Orleans when the masterful Dr. John joins the band on piano.

Daniel Hutchens - The Beautiful Vicious Cycle of Life CD / LP - These 11 original songs capture Hutchens' ability to create emotive vignettes, replete with catchy lyrics and thoughtful imagery that invites the listener to join the journey of the characters he creates.  From the toe-tapping "Pretty Girls In Summer Dresses" to the Petty-esque "Epitaph Town," the recording feels like a classic slice of Americana. Produced by Dave Schools of Widespread Panic who is also a guest player along with David Barbe, Duane Trucks, Todd Nance, members of Bloodkin & more.

Fruition - Labor of Love CD + Holehearted Fools EP - All Fruition orders receive a free bonus copy of the Holehearted Fools EP!!!  (while supplies last). The first time they ever made music together, Fruition's three lead singer-songwriters discovered that their voices naturally blended into beautiful three-part harmonies. In the eight years since that impromptu busking session, the Portland, Oregon-based quintet has grown from a rootsy, string-centric outfit to a full-fledged rock band with an easy but powerful grasp of soul, blues, and British Invasion era pop.
Alma Afrobeat - It's Time CD :: It's Time is Barcelona based Alma Afrobeat Ensemble's third album, the second on Slow Walk Music records, and first with the Nigerian singer Joe "Olawale" Psalmist (Lagos, Nigeria) singing in English, Yoruba, and Broken English. It's Time features songs that hearken back to the origins of Afrobeat; extended, elegant arrangements, socially and politically charged lyrics, and irresistibly danceable grooves.  Add in a dose of trance, some unique improvisational solos, plus a modern feeling, and you have It's Time.

Coming Soon

Roots of Creation - Livin' Free CD:: RoC mix their jam-reggae hybrid sound with homegrown roots, guitar-heavy rock, and lead singer/guitarist Brett Wilson’s introspective and conscious laden lyrics. Livin' Free features guest performances by Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), Marshall "Ras MG" Goodman (Sublime, Long Beach Dub Allstars), the Rubblebucket horn section, Billy Kottage (Reel Big Fish), Bill Carbone (Zach Deputy, Max Creek), Grammy-nominated Pato Banton (Sting, UB40), and Mighty Mystic.
