ˇ Chloe Albert ~ Dedicated State (Roots)A new favourite of ours is this powerful young Edmonton singer-songwriter we have been hearing tons of on
Tom Allen's Radio 2 morning show. Just after we ordered CDs from Chloe she
won the
most promising new artist award at the Canadian Folk Music Alliance event in St John's, NL. Fresh, funky, relaxed & soulful stories & songs that hit all the buttons.
Brilliant CD!

ˇ Harrison Kennedy ~ Voice + Story (Blues)From the 70's Detroit group
'Chairmen of the Board' Hamilton's
elegant roots/blues musician presents a splendid stripped down recording (done in Germany) that showcases his stories and well-weathered voice. His songs '
tell the truth and shame the devil' just like his mother told him to. Harrison's performance at the recent
Maple Blues Awards show was a big hit {but singing "
Give Me Just A Little More Time" to
Judy at Music's side door was even better}

ˇ Kevin Fox ~ Songs for Cello & Voice (Pop)
Halifax native.Toronto resident Kevin's skillful sophomore recording reminds us that the cello is capable of sensational, varied and evocative sounds, and combined with Kevin's compelling voice makes an appealing recording of self-penned tunes + a couple of covers. Kevin's a composer, arranger, wildly busy sideman & another brilliant discovery thanks to Radio 2!

ˇ Jeremy Fisher ~ Goodbye Blue Monday (Rock)Meet a
new Canadian troubadour we're listening to these days.
Jeremy is a fresh-voiced 30+ singer-songwriter who writes meaningful songs and sounds, in an acoustic rock & roll way, a lot like a young
Bob Dylan or
Neil Simon. Upbeat hook-laden tunes for the chilly days we're experiencing. Produced By
Hawksley Workman. Check out Jeremy's

ˇ Danny Michel ~ Feather, Fur & Fin (Pop / Rock)Danny's title as
this country's undiscovered musical treasure must be frustrating.
Eight fantastic albums later, regular
Vinyl Café artist, a critic's favourite,
CBC radio host, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, genius. There's
heart and soul in Danny's music, along with thought-provoking lyrics (
If God's on Your Side comes to mind) that'll keep you spinning way past bedtime. Get this CD & we guarantee you'll want more.
$17.95 
ˇ Stephen Fearing ~ The Man Who Married Music (Folk / Rock)He's a stellar guitar player, a sublime songwriter, a solid producer. On this 'greatest hits' CD {15 tunes including 2 new ones} all his talents are in one package. Stephen cryptically refers the release as
a herald to the next phase of his life. He's moved to
Halifax, perhaps the sea air will inspire him to even more creative projects.
