Bright Morning Stars is a sparkling collection of heart-filled songs that speak to the world around us and the heavens above. The album takes its name from a traditional tune that The Jennys cover--a beautiful a capella tune about the passing of loved ones. Like this ethereal title track, many of the songs are about searching for what has been lost, whether it's a once-whole heart, a lover gone or family that is far away. From the soulful pop of "Swing Low Sail High" to the gut-busting gospel of "Storm Comin'" to the sultry jazz of "Cherry Blossom Love," the album sparkles with a light and energy that is "guaranteed to soothe your soul with its unique blend of earthy passion and heartfelt compassion" (Creem). Even amidst songs about loss, there is a quiet elation underpinning the album and is present in such tracks as "Bird Song" (a fan favorite with lyrics co-written by Heather Masse and Nicky Mehta), giving hope and courage to weary souls and broken hearts.
All three band members--Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta and Heather Masse--contribute to the twelve original songs, singing and playing a variety of instruments (acoustic guitar, accordion, banjo, ukulele) to create a shimmering tapestry of rich vocals and instrumentals. Joining The Jennys are Canada's finest session players, including Bill Dillon (Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel), Kevin Breit (Norah Jones), Colin Cripps (Kathleen Edwards), Richard Moody (The Bills) and frequent Jennys sideman Jeremy Penner on fiddle. Recorded in a cottage near Haliburton, Ontario, Bright Morning Stars has a warm, intimate quality, as if The Jennys were singing their celestial songs just for you. A dazzling mix of Americana, pop and traditional folk, Bright Morning Stars is certain to be an instant classic. (AMAZON.com)

Genre: Singer-songwriter / Indie / Acoustic / Pop
Kina started playing shows at the age of 4 in front of her stuffed animals. Now she plays in front of people. In 2007, Kina joined YouTube, made a music video and entered herself into contest. A few months later, her video for “Message From Your Heart” aired during the Superbowl and its 97 million viewers (or 194 million eyeballs, depending on how you’re keeping track) and she walked away with a record deal. Since then, Kina has regularly posted her songs on YouTube, amassing many millions of views, and toured throughout North America. Her songs have been heard on television shows such as ABC’s General Hospital and MTV’s College Life. Kina will independently release her debut full-length album, Stairwells, in 2010. Her music is both sweet and melancholy, but always filled with hope. She’d want you to know that she saves drowning honeybees from pools whenever she gets the chance.

Gregory Alan Isakov 的音乐就是带着悲伤的基调,并不明朗的演唱,在加上缓慢的旋律,组成了这张耐人寻味的专辑。 Gregory Alan Isakov出生于南非的约翰内斯堡市,小时候就和家人一起移民到美国,现在居住在科罗拉多州。从小就喜欢音乐的他,在16岁就有了自己的小乐队,并且开始决定走音乐道路,Gregory Alan Isakov的唱作人音乐生涯也早早就起步开始了。他的音乐总起来是那么的心酸,带给人一种艰难的感觉。还是很值得品味的

Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn started making music together in the summer of '08, and decided to form a band. Pomplamoose thus represents the collaborative efforts of the two afore-mentioned musicians. It also means grapefruit in French.
They presented video songs with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
After earning their names on youtube, Pomplamoose released their two albums <Pomplamoose Videosongs> and <Tribute to Famous People> via itune.

能听到这么棒的专辑,完全要感谢矮小先生,和“苏格拉底的猫”的老板娘。在这个人潮涌动的城市,认识你们,和那么棒的店,生活也会有别样。
首先要说的是,这是一张发行量只有500张的CD,所以,我想听到的人一定不多,把它带到水手来,这里我就扮演下矮小先生,而现在正在聆听它们的你们,是不是会有我当初聆听时的感觉?

From the Artist
Commenting on Winter Child’s evolution, Duke states, "Getting the songs to translate [from solo acoustic arrangements] was an amazing process, but it certainly took some thought." Duke continues, "We [Duke, Lerman and Smith] didn’t want to overdo it, so our real task was to see just how far we could go before we would pull back. It was very much like splashing paint on a canvas."
About the Artist
Duke began playing piano at the age of seven, and by ten he developed a deep love for the arts. Inspired by artists such as Van Morrison, The Band and Ani Difranco, he taught himself how to play his mother’s vintage guitar. Duke spent his high school years at Philadelphia’s St. Joseph’s Prep, where he was exposed to Ben Harper and Damien Rice. Impressed by their poignant lyrics and musical ambition, Duke threw himself into writing and began performing at coffee houses in the Philadelphia area. By the winter of 2004, Duke recorded his first demo, which fell into the hands of Marcy Rauer Wagman of Drexel University’s Music Industry Program and the newly-formed MAD Dragon Records. Subsequently, MAD Dragon Records recorded four of DukeÂ’s songs for inclusion on XYX, a compilation of twelve tracks from three artists that toured as a songwriter-circle to promote the record. The buzz surrounding XYX and Duke’s emotionally charged live shows helped MAD Dragon Records secure national distribution through Ryko Distribution. In late 2005, Duke entered the studio to record his debut LP, Winter Child, for MAD Dragon Records.
Product Description
Matt Duke presents his debut album 'Winter Child,' which was co-produced by Stewart Lerman (Loudon Wainwright, Dar Williams) and Steuart Smith (The Eagles, Shawn Colvin). This record tackles a number of topics ranging from self-destructive behavior ("To Whom It May Concern"), to casualties of inner city violence ("One Small Bird"), to the mourning of a loved one ("Don't Ask for Too Much"). "Tidal Waves," one of the forthcoming singles from 'Winter Child' and "Yellow Lights," one of the record's closing tracks, channel Duke's commentary on religion and politics, while "Ballroom Dancing" displays Duke's penchant for great literature with his ode to Hemingway's short story, "Hills Like White Elephants."

We could call The Weed Tree yet another exemplary example of acid folk, baroque psych, or sunshine pop with a sinister edge, but none of this brings us any closer to giving meaning to an album gifted with arch beauty. Further proof that Espers are at the peak of what makes music meaningful today.

Missy higgins kept a very low public profile in 2006 but that doesn't mean she hasn't been keeping busy. In fact with her typical lack of fuss and fanfare the former triple j unearthed winner spent the second half of last year in los angeles recording here brand new album 'on a clear night'. The highly anticipated release is currently scheduled for the end of april in australia. The album was recorded with acclaimed producer mitchell froom who helmed the recent finn brothers cd and the first 3 crowded house albums plus discs for such acclaimed singer-songwriters as ron sexsmith, elvis costello and suzanne vega. The first song to be lifted from the album is 'steer' - a positive and life affirming song which missy previewed live during the us and uk touring she did in mid-2006. Missy's debut cd, 'the sound of white', remains in the australian top 40 over two years after its release. The album is now certified 9 times platinum and is one of the highest selling australian albums of all time!
