An avalanche of new releases heads your way today, although instead of being a fearsome, deadly force of snow it is a considerably less life-threatening cascade of CDs which don’t actually physically move towards you or cause you any harm but which you will probably want to listen to instead.

Loudon Wainwright III - High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project
Banjo player and singer Charlie Poole was one of Loudon’s first models when he began singing and playing over 40 years ago. Now, together with producer/songwriter Dick Connette, he has put together a double album dedicated to the music and life of his early inspiration. Most of the songs recast the original recordings from the 20’s and 30’s, but Wainwright and Connette have also written 9 new songs around and about Poole’s life and times.
Jeff Healey - Songs From The Road
“You’ll find some Chicago classics, some old r&b, a taste of psychedelia, and some pop classics from a bygone era — Teach Your Children Well, Come Together, and his biggest hit Angel Eyes. Whenever we played — in Europe, the U.S. or at home in Canada — Jeff always gave his best, even in the last days when he was seriously ill. Around the world, thousands of fans will enjoy this CD. I believe Jeff was one of a kind and it’s doubtful there will ever be another one like him.” – Alec Fraser
Jo Hamilton - Gown
Stemming from a childhood spent in remote corners of Scotland, the Middle East and Sri Lanka, Jo’s music is elemental, an empathatic commentary reflecting our hopes, our glories and our tragedies. She unflinchingly reworks and applies the nostalgia of the old Gaelic lullabies of her childhood to a multicultural world of iPods and urbanism, often with devastating effect.
“A staggering voice that can brush softly against your soul or fill you with the intensity of an earthquake” – Scott Matthews

We have, as always, an exquisite collection of new releases for you today, including:
Sam Carter - Keepsakes
A startlingly perceptive and self-assured young singer and guitarist from the English midlands, Sam Carter has spent the last few years busily honing his craft both as a writer and performer, studying guitar with Martin Simpson and touring with Bellowhead whilst holding down his post as emerging Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre.
Robb Johnson - Margaret Thatcher: My Part In Her Downfall
66 tracks, including Johnson’s 1st 2 vinyl albums Skewed, Slewed, Stewed & Awkward, and Small Town World in their entirety (CDs 1 & 2 respectively), plus some tracks from deleted CDs, 94’s UK Talking (CD3) & Margaret Thatcher: My Part in her Downfall (CD4, the solo acoustic CD), plus many tracks never released before on CD, only issued as limited edition cassette release and unreleased demos.
And plenty more besides:

Today’s super-exciting release is…
Martin Simpson - True Stories
With his latest album Martin Simpson moves on a pace, broadening the sound palette, ranging from solo guitar instrumentals to full band arrangements.
The success of Martin’s deeply moving song to his father, Never Any Good, on Prodigal Son has galvanised his song writing muse. True Stories is evenly split between traditional songs and tunes and Martin’s original compositions.
Also…
Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters - Living In The Light
Ronnie Earl is a bright and shining anomaly. He doesn’t tour, he doesn’t show up on David Letterman, he doesn’t play at rock festivals, he rarely gives interviews, and he isn’t the slightest bit interested in what Joni Mitchell called “the star-making machinery.” But he does make some remarkable, memorable and deeply touching recordings.
Living in the Light is a varied mix of blues, soul and gospel, all marked by his distinctive guitar style and the passionate conviction he brings to every track. It is also, perhaps in a contrary way, a record shot through with love, warmth and very real peace.
