by
Leon Redbone
Leon Redbone followed up his debut long-player On the Track (1975) with Double Time (1977), an equally enchanting, if not somewhat eclectic blend, of jazz, folk, blues and pop standards -- all in Redbone's undeniably distinct throaty baritone. While the tunes may be familiar, these renderings are steeped in the artist's unique sensibilities. The ...

The survey begins in 1924 with the Bucktown Five, a scruffy little band that included clarinetist Volly DeFaut and pianist Mel Stitzel. A slightly rarer track ...

Dave Stuckey & the Rhythm Gang
Someone once said that there are two kinds of people in the world: those that love Neil Diamond, and those that hate him. The same is true of some genres of music, and western swing is probably foremost among them. Some people can't get enough of that jazzy cowboy boogie, while others can't bear to hear a note of it. Those who love it will greatly ...
