· Gordie Sampson ~ For the Few and Far Between
Gordie is a stellar songwriter, producer, singer, guitar (and other stringed instruments) player, and, as we discovered years ago in our living room a really nice guy to boot. Every song is a winner in this collection, treat yourself to the next ECMA multi-award nominee. Everyone should have a Gordie CD.

· Paul Reddick ~ SugarBird
There is something dark and sexy about Paul's music, shades of blue so deep and varied that he transcends most artists in this genre. In fact it's not fair to categorize his music anywhere but in your 'play frequently' section. Colin Linden has once again worked his magic as producer and there are several interesting guest artists on this 4th CD of Paul's. Highly recommended.

· Susie Vinick ~ Happy Here
Bluesy Suzie certainly sounds happy here. She is a singer / songwriter / guitar and bass player who surrounds herself with wonderful talent as only the best artists can. Produced by Stephen Fearing, with musical help from the likes of Kevin Breit and Kevin Fox, Tom Wilson, Gary Craig, and others. Suzie's honey rich vocals will keep you warm on these chilly fall evenings.

· Treasa Levasseur ~ Low Fidelity
 We saw Treasa at John Drummond's Greenbelt Farm this summer and her second CD really captures the vitality and diversity of a blues singer who wouldn't be out of place in a gospel choir, jazz club or folksinger's coffee house. Treasa is a great songwriter as well, most of the tunes are written or co-written by her. Top-notch stuff.

· Ron Sexsmith ~ Exit Strategy Of The Soul
Elvis Costello, Paul McCartny, Elton John & Judy are all fans of Ron Sexsmith. Fantastic tunes galvanized by the 60's & 70's this is power-and soulful songwriter-pop at its best. Brandy Alexander {which he wrote for Feist} is a store favourite on this his 11th album. A conundrum, a low-key putterer & ponderer with tons of melody-rich tunes. This album should find a place on every Canadian music fans CD player. Get to know Ron Sexsmith!

· Carlos del Junco ~ Steady Movin'

Carlos is on fire, or his harmonica is on fire or something! We enjoy a good dose of Carlos' take on blues old and new. This is NOT relaxing laid back blues ... this is party blues! His guests include Kevin Breit, John Dickie and 8' tall Matt Brubeck. This CD says 'play me loud' ... so do it!

· Emma-Lee ~ Never Just a Dream

Toronto's Emma-Lee, with a Feist-like voice, makes you pay attention. This entire debut CD is drop dead gorgeous, ranging from lush doo-wop arrangements to downright saucy songs. iTunes said: "a touch of Patsy Cline's country heartbreak set against Astrud Gilberto's ease-and-flow bossa nova. We love it!" When a debut album garners nominations for Best Female Artist and Best Jazz Artist right out of the gate you know you should hear more of it!

· Jill Barber ~ Chances
For Jill's 4th release she teamed up with Ron Sexsmith to co-write the title tune, snagged the CBC's Glenn Gould Studio for recording and gave the whole package a good dose of personal touch.  If you are a fan of the elusive Mary Margaret O'Hara give this CD a listen, you'll be hooked. Jill is Matthew's sister & an entire force on her own. Multi award winner this singer-songwriter offers up 10 original fully orchestrated lush songs from another time & place.

· Tony Gouveia ~ Fado Ardente
Portuguese Fado (folk) music is currently enjoying a surge in popularity as more young artists discover the passion and beauty of this music. Tony's second CD is a blend of new original material along with Fado standards. If you can't get to Portugal this winter, enjoying this gorgeous recording (along with a glass of red wine) should make you feel better.
