Classic-era Rolling Stones. An amplified, rocking version of 60s protest folk. The raw spirit of indie rock. The soulful passion of the Violent Femmes and The Waterboys. All of these comparisons have been made in attempts to describe Southern California 5-piece Delta Spirit. Each description contains elements of the truth, but the real answer to the question 'Who is Delta Spirit?' lies within "Ode To Sunshine", the band's captivating debut. The group's DIY ethic shines throughout the album, with songs honed razor-sharp over a year of non-stop touring across America.


Rory Block's new album is a powerful mix of acoustic blues, accapella gospel, big soulful blues ballads and out and out rock songs that show off her sensual vocals and her fine guitar playing skills.

Rounder Records band, The Holy Modal Rounders combined a wildness and wackiness with a reverence for their roots and tradition.

Here's a chance to discover what their fans already know - that many musical genres sound even better when turned upside down and inside out.


Produced and arranged by Alison Krauss this 1995 album was a benchmark recording in the development of the more roots orientated style of new country music. In the Cox Family you find a harmonious and musical group who sing with an assurance and natural ease which is both heartwarming and almost spiritual in it's delivery.

In the 1940s, the Wisconsin Folk Music Recording Project, sponsored by the Library of Congress and the University of Wisconsin, took Helene Stratman-Thomas and other fieldworkers on a collecting expedition around Wisconsin to document a folk music that reflects the colourful pattern of immigration and
occupational development in the state. This album presents a folk portrait of English language songs from the project, including historical ballads, dance tunes and several lumberjack songs.
