Really beautiful later work from Michael Hurley – a set recorded in the 21st Century, and with some slightly more sophisticated settings than some of Hurley's earliest records – yet still overflowing with all the charms that make his music so great! Hurley handles guitar, vocals, and a bit of piano – and there's some light backing elements on bass clarinet, dobro, bass, and violin – the last of which sounds very nice, as it's used in these really light, sweet ways – not polished, but also not like a fiddle either. Katie Clayborn sings some backing vocals at times, almost acting like the Emmylou Harris to Hurley's Gram Parsons – on titles that include "Edinburg Lag", "Got Over It", "O My Stars", "The End Of The Road", "Blockade Stillers", and "The Rue Of Ruby Whores". LP has a different track order than the original CD – and includes a bonus recent live recording of "Murderer's Home Blues". LP, Vinyl record album

Features Dean Brown on guitar, Gerry Etkins on keys, Baron Browne on bass & Sa Davis on percussion. LP, Vinyl record album

A set that's overflowing with magical talent from the contemporary jazz scene in Finland – core energy from the longstanding UMO ensemble, working through these amazing compositions from Kerkko Koskinen, all topped with these fabulous tenor solos from Linda Fredriksson! Plus, the whole thing is delivered by the Ricky Tick label – an imprint that gave us so many wonderful records in the first decade of the century, finally returning to the fold with this long-overdue release – a majestic meeting of talents that draws plenty of colors from the orchestra, yet also has a very individual spirit, thanks to Fredriksson's solos. Titles include "Promenade", "Parade", "Piana", "Sokeana Hetkena", "Mare", "Anime Waltz", and "Notte". LP, Vinyl record album
