America Specifications
Drawing upon the softer side of the hippie folk scene with a more refined sound, America garnered a string of hits for themselves in the '70s. With a rich, acoustic base and lush, high tenor harmonies, songs like "Sandman" were instantly successful. The band's breakthrough single was the slightly country-tinged "Horse with No Name," (which hit number one) that owed a debt to the craftsmanship of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. America displayed the band's sensitivities with "Clarice" and "I Need You," the latter charting at number nine. While the band made a name for itself on the strength of "Horse" alone, the rest of the record deserves attention, too. While "Riverside" and "Children Here" never reached the status of later hits like "Sister Goldenhair" or "Lonely People," they still command respect. --Steve Gdula

Duet for Guitars 2 [Vinyl]
Duet for Guitars 2 [Vinyl] Review
Limited 180gm audiophile virgin vinyl LP pressing. 1999 solo debut from the acclaimed Indie singer/songwriter. M. Ward crafted these tunes on his travels between San Luis, Chicago and finally Portland. Recorded by longtime friend Adam Selzer at the then fledgling Type Foundry Studio in Portland, this album is about as intimate as it could get. The voices are hushed and whispered. The guitars are subtle yet precise, hinting at the virtuosity that would rear its head on future releases and collaborations. Read more...

Jewish Cello Masterpieces
Jewish Cello Masterpieces Review
A beautiful collection of great Jewish Music. Classics by Ernest Bloch and Max Bruch, mixed with rarely heard gems by Maurice Ravel, Zavel Zilberts, Jacob Wasilkovsky, and David Meyerowitz. "Wie Shlecht es is Ohn Gelt", a Yiddish Theatre gem, is alone worth the price of admission for its mixture of pathos and humor. The songs by Zilberts are an important and beautiful part of the Jewish music legacy that must be heard. Read more...
