Artist: Sarah Noni Metzner
Song: Little Bird
CD: Daybreak Mourning
Sarah’s duet with Corwin Fox sounds like a traditional song but it’s in fact
an original. The imagery of the lyrics have an “Appalachian” feel to them.
The bluegrass arrangement features some incredible banjo work. However, the
melody has a contemporary hook to it. A great multi-format add!

Artist: Harry Manx
Song: Tijuana
CD: Mantras For Madmen
Take your listeners on a trip to the border and beyond with this world blues
rendition of a JJ Cale classic. Harry plays a unique instrument called the
mohan veena, which is a lap steel guitar with sitar strings. Fuse that with
a latin rhythm and lyrics that deal with immigration and you have a great
cut for radio.

Here’s a gentle folk ballad written in the celtic tradition that’s well

This track features a breathtaking vocal performance that reminded us of
Judy Collins.

Ever been to a coffeehouse where there’s this great singer/songwriter
performing that you’ve never heard before, but are totally captivated by
their music? That was our impression of this track taken from this St. Louis

Song: St. James Infirmary
CD: American Folkie PART II
Lew has dipped back into the American songbook and put together another
great collection of timeless folk songs, most of which he performs solo. His
rendition of this New Orleans classic has a juke-joint vibe to it. Think
Professor Longhair with piano, trumpet, and acoustic guitar.
