| | Iain Matthews Dark Ride CD Iain Matthews Discography of CDs
Recorded in his adopted home of Austin in the mid-1990s, this set shows that the British folk-rock singer-songwriter Iain Matthews hasn't strayed far from his folk roots in the decades since his first success with Matthews' Southern Comfort in the early '70s. Tracks like the folk-pop "I Drove" and his duet with Sarah Hickman on "Morning Glory" display a finely honed sense of songcraft, while the mostly acoustic backing is understated and sensitive.

From the start Inneke23 has been singing and writing her own songs. Gradually she focused more and more on the Americana side of her work, inspired by country music and American singer/songwriters such as Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Mary Gauthier, Jonathan Richman, Loudon Wainwright III, Steve Earle, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, The Carter Family, the Jayhawks, The Gourds,!Her first album was the self-released 'Not With A Band'.

Twenty-four-year-old Brendan Romaneck was a saxophonist and composer of enormous promise as he prepared for his debut recording as a leader in the Spring of 2005.

Javors engaged Chris Potter and Steve Wilson to play the saxophone parts and the resulting music - full of originality, promise and strength, heralding the coming of an important new composer -- is something that Romaneck, his family and friends can all be proud of. Romaneck, who was born April 6, 1981 in Colchester, Connecticut, set out on the life path of a musician from his early days ...
