Format: Singer/SongwriterArtist: Jen Foster
Song: Sleeping CD: Everybody’s Girl
This beautifully written song from this Nashville songwriter describes, in
an elegant and poetic way, the hardships of losing a loved one. The song’s
melody is enhanced by a simple but lush musical bed and Jen’s powerful
voice. Very moving.

Song: See Through Bush CD: Upwelling
We are not presenting this song as a political endorsement or statement. We
find Irina's song and her performance to be in the same spirit as Sweet
Honey in the Rock. The album is filled with great songs of political and
social statements. Highly recommended!

Here’s a folk standard reborn as an energetic, celtic-flavored, acoustic
rock song. The acoustic guitar is complimented by Uilleann pipes to create a
rich musical tapestry. It’s her emotional vocal performance, though, that
makes this woeful tale so riveting.

Song: Fire Breathing Trout CD: Rocking Horse
The blend of guitar, violin, and double bass is quite adventurous. We were
extremely impressed with his finger-picking dexterity and the slide guitar
play on this track. His album is filled with instrumentals that are perfect
for stations looking for music beds.
