"It's obvious he was destined to become one of Bluegrass's contemporary stars." - Boston Globe "Michael Cleveland is as versatile as they come, but when it comes to straight-up bluegrass, whether it's a 'bootstomper' or a high and lonesome lament, his peers are few and far between" - All Music Guide "He takes no prisoners but he plays with a restraint and a soul. He plays without abandon." - Vince Gill Featuring Special Guests: Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Tommy Emmanuel, Béla Fleck, Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien, the Travelin' McCourys, and Dan Tyminski "Untouchable". That's how Vince Gill describes the playing of bluegrass fiddler Michael Cleveland in the inspiring documentary about the Grammy-nominated musician's life, Flamekeeper: The Michael Cleveland Story.

The Window Seat II brings to life the eternal pangs of fleeting youth and innocence with undying optimism, woven together in the fabric of a refined tapestry of folk-rock. The 2019 re-recording of the 2009 debut by New England native singer-songwriter Adam Reczek (which was itself admittedly a glorified demo) consists of eight songs that always deserved better, and now finally realize their long-overdue reincarnation. Pieced together in sporadic recording sessions in various home studios over the course of five years, the Window Seat II is a personal musical redemption tour concluding ten years to the day from the release of the first incarnation of the record.

Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, sometimes billed as The First Edition, was an eclectic rock band whose styles ranged from rock and roll to R&B, folk, and country. Its core members were Kenny Rogers (lead vocals and bass guitar), Mickey Jones (drums and percussion) and Terry Williams (guitar and vocals). The band formed in 1967, with folk musician Mike Settle (guitar and backing vocals) and the operatically-trained Thelma Camacho (lead vocals) completing the lineup.

Some roots can be knotty. Those are certainly PIXVAE. Like the hybrid peach palm from which it borrows its name, this unusual band is the result of cross origins, a space where warm melodies and the ambivalence of the Afro-Colombian music meets the energy of rock and eclectic jazz culture. Confronting the worlds, merging disparate "traditions”, PIXVAE embodies an unsuspected alchemy between jazzcore and currulao: a new music that shakes the perception, upsets the bowels and awakens the imagination. The electric power comes and sublime trance carriers chants, calling for a "think otherwise".

Mawaran, chant – Pierre Blanchut, santur – Brahim Dhour, oud violon – Florent Rousset, percussion
Une voix libanaise, grave, profonde, celle de Mawaran, formé dans la pure tradition arabo-andalouse du Moyen-Orient. Compositeur, poète, sont art est né dans les souterrains de la guerre. Il a grandi dans l’exil. Entouré d’instruments classiques d’orient, il crée un climat entre méditation et énergie exultante. Son chant se fraie entre ces deux pôles, le chemin du dévoilement de la conscience, il crie l’impatience des corps en une quête libératoire.

Si vous avez assisté à lOlympia de Manu Dibango en 2016 ou si vous étiez au Stade de France en 2011 pour la Nuit Africaine, vous avez forcément remarqué le batteur charismatique de MANU DIBANGO doué dune incroyable maîtrise rythmique. Mais ce quon ignorait ou presque jusquà aujourdhui, cest quà la différence de la majorité de ses confrères africains, européens ou américains, Conti est également chanteur. Et lorsque sa voix sélève au dessus de sa batterie, le charme opère. Un chant en douala, en anglais ou en français dont la douceur nest pas sans rappeler celle de King Sunny Adé. Et ce nest pas tout : Conti est aussi auteur, compositeur, arrangeur et réalisateur. Lalbum « Its time! » révèle cet artiste complet.

Major label release, a name producer, noted session men, this album couldn't lose, right? Well, not quite. Although time has caught up with Murder of Crows, sometimes Joe Henry gets lost amidst all the busy work and fancy arranging of his songs. True, there are some great songs here, notably "Six Feet in the Country," "Here and Gone" and "Step Across the Mountain" which will remind one a lot of Counting Crows. Here is a glimpse at a young songwriter being pushed too quickly to come up with the goods. Sometimes, the waiting is the hardest part…

En 2012, j’ai décidé de retourner dans mon pays natal pour commencer mon projet « Poder Volar » avec la collaboration de « Marcos Atala », musicien extraordinaire que m’a accompagné dans des événements organisés dans ma ville natale, Santiago de Cuba.

Dans Primaraj Koloroj, on peut entendre une Laotienne chanter avec une Berbère sur des tambours éthiopiens. On peut aussi entendre l'inventeur de la trompette à quart de ton jammer avec des violoncelles et un beatboxer.
Le premier album dEthnophonics confronte les musiques traditionnelles et les musiques urbaines et construit des ponts entre les mondes.

He could use his instrument to summon images of both a "Nervous Breakdown" or a "Nightingale Waltz", and in fact these happen to be the titles of two of Buck Ryan's classic singles for Mercury, cut when that label went on a bluegrass binge in the late '50s. To have such range on the fiddle would have taken oodles of practice, and to play "Orange Blossom Special" the way this fiddler did, leaving the rosin's share of his compatriots back in the sticky dust, would have taken even more. The type of constantly woodshedding fiddler, always seen either carrying or cradling his instrument, often have their names appended with a "fiddlin'" prefix, and that's just the case, as in violin case, with Fiddlin' Buck Ryan, as he is predictably credited on some of his most high-profile gigs.

When a man plays with fire he gets burnt fingers When he's a playing with desire he gets burnt fingers When a man starts to trifel and leaves his true love all alone He'll break her heart and break his own.

The single-disc, 29-track compilation Puzzles collects all of Ed Bruce's RCA recordings from the late '60s, including "Blue Denim Eyes," "By Route of New Orleans," "Walker's Woods," "Last Train to Clarksville," "Painted Girls and Wine," "Memphis Morning," "Why Can't I Come Home," "Ninety Seven More to Go," "Give Me More Than You Can Take," "Something Else to Mess Your Mind" and no less than three versions of the title track. While this material is not among Bruce's best-known, it is among his best. Though the duplicate versions of some tracks can be tedious – "Puzzles" is presented in three versions, there are two takes of "I'd Be Best Leaving You," there are both dubbed and undubbed versions of "Painted Girls and Wine" and "Blue Bayou" – Puzzles nevertheless is an excellent way to become acquainted with a fine, underappreciated talent.
