Lizz Wright —
Dreaming Wide Awake ... CD 
Verve, 2005. Used ... $2.99
The second outing from vocalist Lizz Wright – done in the same sweetly folksy style as her debut, but in a way that seems to have even more of a focus overall. The backing on the set is especially nice – mostly just spare keyboards, bass, and drums, plus some great work on acoustic ... read more CD

In The Land Of Smooth ... CD Expansion (UK), 2004. Used ... $6.99
The Land Of Smooth must be a wonderful place – because Byron's debut is one heck of an album!

The musicianship here is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mndsgn —
Rare Pleasure ... CD Stones Throw, 2021. New Copy ... $11.99 12.99
A wonderfully laidback record from Mndsgn, and a set that has him stepping out as a much more fully-formed artist overall – a contemporary soul talent more than just a beatmaker – working here on these tunes that have an easygoing groove, and lots of warm cosmic touches around the edges! ...

Music ... CD Stones Throw, 2021. New Copy ... $9.99 10.99
