Sarah Elizabeth Campbell
with Nina Gerber |

“Sarah
Elizabeth Campbell writes songs from her heart. She sings them that way too.
Furthermore, she has a keen intuition that aims her toward other people's songs
which she then makes her own. A gifted artist can do that, you know. My
admiration for this woman's work began when I heard "Geraldine and Ruthie Mae"
as sung by Laurie Lewis on the 1988 Blue Rose album. It continued when Sarah
Elizabeth sent me home from a trip to California with new tapes (with the
requisite, "sorry, the mixes are crummy", which they weren't!). And now Running
With You brings me up to date. From her beautiful version of ‘Love Hurts'
to her own ‘Just Out Of Reach' , listen to this wise and mellowed voice
telling you things about her heart and its choices that mirror and make sense
of your own. A gifted artist can do that too. Nothing self-conscious here,
nothing calculated. There is a place for music like this, in our tape deck, in
our hectic lives, in our living room, in our CD player, in our car, in our
jogging pack, on our radio....It is about, among other things, listening and
learning, giving in to love and falling back out. Sarah Elizabeth writes these
kinds of songs, as only a gifted artist can.” -Mary Chapin

Ray Wylie Hubbard
|
|
|
When F. Scott Fitzgerald issued his classic conclusion that ‘There are no second acts in American lives,' he failed to envision the career of legendary Texas troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard. A willing conspirator in the late seventies Cosmic Cowboy revolt that ushered in the mythical Outlaw era, Hubbard was a catalyst in the cultural upheaval that led to the peaceful coexistence of Lone Star music enthusiasts who comprised each end of the social and political spectrum of that troubled time. In the stellar company of iconic colleagues like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Doug Sahm and Jerry Jeff Walker , Ray Wylie Hubbard was an architect of the musical legacy that continues to inspire subsequent generations of up-and-coming Texas talent. See the new video with Ringo Starr giving a rave review of just a few albums by Bob Dylan and Jerry Lee Lewis and including Snake Farm by Ray Wylie Hubbard at www.raywylie.com |

Dakota Dave Hull plus
Paul Asbell |

Dakota Dave Hull :
Hailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson, from the
Washington Post to Downbeat, Dakota Dave Hull's guitar style
spans a wide musical geography to create an infectious, uniquely personal blend
of jazz, ragtime, folk, blues, Western swing, and vintage pop. A gifted
composer as well as a strikingly original interpreter of older tunes, Dakota
Dave calls what he does "classic American guitar." Folk legend Van Ronk
called Dave "one of the best guitarists in the world." Most of all,
Dakota Dave's music is great fun. As Ranger Doug of Riders in the
Sky puts it, "There is an imp within Dave Hull that always expresses
itself on the fretboard; a witty, intelligent yet respectful imp..."

Eliza Gilkyson plus Tony
Gilkyson |
|
|
Reviews of Grammy Nominated
Land of Milk and Honey : “Gilkyson's latest gives no quarter
with songs as excellent as they are raw and brutal. Her gift is the ability to
mask razor-sharp words in deceptively easy melodies and make the expression of
personal longing just as devastating.” (4 stars) - Austin Chronicle

plus Jeffrey Halford & The Healers |

Keith
Greeninger’s own engaging brand of contemporary California folk sets
him apart--it is all about his tone, his delivery and his earthy elegant style.
Keith Greeninger paints intricate portraits of the human condition with
powerful melodic images, deep engaging guitar rhythms and warm heart wrenching
vocals. His husky heart-felt vocals and aggressive acoustic guitar style offer
more than the standard bill-of-fare for most contemporary folk singers. Keith
Greeninger is that rare performer for whom people lean forward in their seats,
eager to capture every note and every word.
