Get Low From the 2010 major motion picture featuring Academy AwardŽ winner Robert Duvall, Golden Globe winner Bill Murray, Academy AwardŽ winner Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black, Get Low follows the story of the mysterious 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party...while he was still alive. The soundtrack combines an all-star cast of musicians. Academy AwardŽ winning composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's dramatic score is both moving and haunting. 12 time Grammy winner and the world's most renowned Dobro player, Jerry Douglas, sweeps us away to the Southern countryside with his authentic jams. Grammy nominated and IBMA award winning band The SteelDrivers enliven the mood with their bluegrass renditions of traditional folk songs. 25 time Grammy winner Alison Krauss' beautiful closing song leaves the audience with a tear in their eye, but a smile on their face. The rest of the soundtrack is wonderfully appointed with vintage classics from The Ink Spots, Gene Austin, Paul Whiteman and Bix Beiderbecke. |

Praise & Blame "We wanted to go back to basics, go back to the source, it was just me singing live with a rhythm section - no overdubbing, no gimmicks, no complicated horn and string arrangements, just get the song down in an entire take, capture the meaning of the song, its spirituality, its life, and capture that moment, right there. And I think that's what we've done," says Tom Jones, the veteran singer from Wales, who turns 70 this year and who has just completed `Praise and Blame', his follow up to 2008's acclaimed `24 Hours' and quite simply his finest work to date. It is a truly remarkable record, one that captures the Tom Jones who listened to Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe on the radio as a child growing up, who thought gospel music was "just like rock'n'roll, every bit as exciting but with deeper lyrics", the Tom Jones who belted out The Lord's Prayer as a jubilatory spiritual in school assembly, "because that was the only way I knew how to sing it, it was natural for me." This is Tom Jones going back to his roots on an album of gospel, blues, traditional and country songs, wearing his heart on his sleeve, emotionally raw and true. Recording with producer Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ray LaMontagne, Paolo Nutini, Laura Marling) at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in the little village of Box in Wiltshire, coaxed the most exhilarating performances out of the singer. With musicians including steel guitarist BJ Cole, keyboardist Booker T Jones (of Memphis soul legends Booker T and the MGs), Hammond organist Chris Holland and background vocalists Gillian Welch, Alison Pierce, Dave Rawlings and Orin Waters at hand, Tom has quite simply delivered his tour de force. It's him bearing his soul, singing from the heart, telling it like it is. |

If You Let Me Chrissie just keeps on making us smile. This time it's about the new record, FIDELITY!, but also about the story behind it, kind of a really kick-ass rock version of a made-for-tv movie: Bad-ass rocker girl meets scruffy Welsh guy, dares him to write a song, likes the song, likes the boy, boy and girl hole up in a hotel room in Cuba, write an album, form a band, rock out happily ever after. The album actually probably tells the stories better. But until FIDELITY! is released in August, hear some new music on a special indies-only 7". What's on the 7"? A brand new song, "If You Let Me" and "Skinny Love", a Bon Iver cover, recorded live in Chicago. |

Lock and Key * Full of just as many catchy, metallic riffs as mosh parts, Lock & Key is a heavy mix of influences like Madball, Leeway, Cro-Mags, Metallica, Suicidal, Obituary, and is one of the most well-rounded hardcore albums in recent memory.

Since the release of Cruel Hand's Bridge Nine debut, Prying Eyes, in 2008, the band has been a relentless touring machine and one of the tightest bands in the hardcore world.

That's How We Burn Jaill is a psych-pop 4-piece from Milwaukee, with undeniable guts. In early 2009 they released There's No Sky (Oh My My), an irresistibly catchy, moving, dirty, sarcastic, and new 12-song LP. The album caught the attention of Sub Pop, with stand-out tracks recalling the glory of '90s lo-fi pop. Recorded at his Mystery Room studio with Justin Perkins, the new Jaill album, That's How We Burn, finds the band wrapping its head and arms solidly around a laid-back but creatively effortless brand of pop: bright guitars and amped-up energy skipping like a stone over dense lyrics. |

![Menomena - Mines [Digipak] *](/Photo/418453777446:75) |
Mines [Digipak] * Portland, OR art-rock trio Menomena is among the leaders of the new school of indie rock musically complex, melodically and lyrically riveting, and unlike anything that has come before. Their breakthrough album Friend & Foe epitomized the artistry required to balance a modern band's storm of ideas, and it was anointed Best New Music by indie tastemaker Pitchfork. The band's newest work comes after a period of significant upheaval that has left them with no shortage of new ideas, and Mines is as good or better than anything they've done to-date. In the wake of brutal disagreements, unrelenting grudges and failed marriages (not to mention a world full of modern terrorism, natural disasters and economic collapse) Menomena is still standing, and has made an album that many are already saying defines the state of intelligent pop music one decade into the millenium. |

We Walk This Road * Produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett, 'We Walk This Road' continues the Sacred Steel tradition for which Robert Randolph has earned wide praise, including the New York Times, which applauds 'his rip-roaring virtuosity and his gift for making his instrument sing without a word.' Throughout the recording of 'We Walk This Road,' Randolph and Burnett worked closely together as archivists, discovering songs-decade by decade-from the 20th century American music canon. The songs they uncovered, ranging from blues and rock to field recordings and gospel, serve as the inspiration for the 11 songs on 'We Walk This Road.' Recorded at the Village Recorders and Electro Magnetic Studio, the album includes 'If I Had My Way' (featuring Ben Harper), 'Salvation' (featuring Leon Russell), and reinterpretations of Prince's 'Walk Don't Walk,' Bob Dylan's 'Shot Of Love,' (featuring Jim Keltner, who played drums on the original version) and John Lennon's 'I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama' (featuring Doyle Bramhall II). |
