| | June Madrona Winged Life CD June Madrona Discography of CDs
June Madrona's second album The Winged Life is a two part concept detailing love and life. Themed and titled after a work of William Blake's, this album rests softly on the light subjects, graces the heavy, and creates beauty out of the apparently mundane.The lineup on this record is comprised of four people making use of guitar, cello, harp, glockenspiel, banjo, and of course, their voices. Group collaboration and orchestration has brought the band to a whole new level of performance on this record.This second printing includes a hand-screened cover and a 16 page booklet featuring lyrics, artwork, and photos."On my favorite June Madrona song, they sing, "Last night I dreamt that Portland filled up with gardens/and people on bicycles passing me by/and streets lined with fruit trees." June Madrona is Olympia's Ross Cowman, Onyx Dixon, and Christopher Schile turning guitar, voice, harp, and cello into careful, stately folk. It's nice. Like summer in Portland."-Portland Mercury"The fragile plucks that open June Madrona's "An Early Spring" could pass for a lullabye before the sadness to come begins to creep in. It's an amazingly graceful fade of emotion, taking you from unease to nostalgia, and then the cello kicks in and you realize there's more than wistfulness here. This is an elegy for the open fields and farmland of childhood, paved and peopled by inexorable suburban expansion. The folks fighting I-933 should make this their campaign song."-The Olympian Winged Life Music | Category | Folk Albums | | Label | CD Baby | | CD Universe Part number | 7303934 | | Catalog number | 104133 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Sep 19, 2006 |

This 1998 reissue contains 5 bonus tracks (including the previously

John Denver's music always had a warm, home-spun quality to it, so it isn't surprising that his 1975 holiday effort, Rocky Mountain Christmas, is a wonderfully low-key and friendly Christmas album. Divided between classic carols and ...

Winged Life album
$12.19 
With 2003's Befriended, the Innocence Mission continue the organic, supremely tasteful folk-pop first crafted on 1999's Birds of My Neighborhood. Added to the wood-and-glass aesthetic are occasional traces of ambient synth strings, or a sun-soaked, delirious vibrato guitar. Lyrics of timorous optimism and familial devotion are woven into cascades of upright bass, brushes and tambourine, the tinkling ghost of a piano, and the snowy hollow-body electric guitar of Don Peris. Primary songwriter Karen Peris' impeccable sense of melody is carried out by her distinct voice, ...

| | Wydown Noise Of America CD (2006)
Winged Life album
$10.59
"College students, take heed: Wydown is the perfect house band for your campuses during the next school year. Worldy without being weary, quirky without being cutesy, the quartet would make the Lou proud as an opener for Guster or Death Cab for Cutie. In fact, elements of both bands are clearly evident on Wydown's new CD, Noise of America — namely in the form of sad piano; earnest, wounded vocals; and midtempo riffs. At their recent Pageant gig, the bandmates' crisp dress shirts matched their professionalism, although shades of Ben Folds' playful melancholy ruled the night." | Annie Zaleski, The River Front Times"St. Louis' next big band." | Kevin Wilson, Caffe!ne Magazine "Wydown boasts thrilling vocals, tight guitar riffs, crisp percussion, and unusually moving lyricism." | Laurel Schamp, PlaybackSTL Magazine"Their crisp, minor-chord breakdowns play like the Interpolian id of Ben Gibbard, while their eccentricities conjure everything from Queen to Radiohead." | Kristyn Pomranz, The River Front Times"Wydown is an exceptional band." | Jenny Lush, Midwestbands.com "Wydown could be the next band to sing you around town." | Sean Rose, Leo Weekly (Louisville)"If there is anything to be said about Wydown, it's that they can really play their instruments." | Jon Kujawaski, PlaybackSTL*****************Not your typical rock band, Wydown began in St. Louis, Mo. with vocalists/songwriters Ethan Balis, Nate Dewart and an arsenal of original material. What started with a bass, a keyboard and for their first gig, a classical string trio, has evolved into a devoted group with a tenacious approach towards focused and inspired songwriting.

The music and playing of Jerry Kosak has been described as “Segovia playing the music of Robert Johnson, while thinking about Leo Kottke.” This seemingly unusual combination of players represents the incredible diversity that has become a hallmark of Kosak’s guitar playing. Blues, classical, rock, and jazz styles have all been influential in producing a “great reflection of many different styles,” according to Kevin Barnes of KBEM radio. Through teaching and performing, Kosak has demonstrated not only a love of many styles of music, but also the ability to perform everything from Villa-Lobos to Mississippi Fred McDowell. This versatility has resulted in Artist ...
| | Ellen Tipper Flanagan's Field CD (2007)
Winged Life music CDs
$15.19
By Dan KimpelBeyond the engaging songcraft, the assured vocal intimacy and the melodic purity, the spirit of Ellen Tipper’s artistry is a compelling, connective force that spins on an axis of innocence and experience. On her new CD, Flanagan’s Field, the Maine-based artist alternates her own voice with the narratives from a rich cast of characters. In a trio of songs about women’s lives, “Not This Time” is the saga of an abused woman whose husband derides her intelligence while demanding her body. In “Let it Be Real,” the protagonist is a woman blindly searching for love in the aftermath of divorce, and “Play It Blue” offers a remedy for living with the disappointment that sometimes accompanies mature relationships. Alternatively, the political reality of modern-day America provides the text of “Save Me,” as Tipper offers up this plea: “Save me from the cowboys who circle round the posse/to rope us in and keep us in their own sacred world,” while the gentle, contemplative “Crayons” paints a vivid spectrum of lush hues in jewel-toned lyrics. “Songwriting is a kind of anthropology for me – a way to make sense of humanity. When I bring the big questions down into specific experiences and stories, it makes me feel connected and real,” says Tipper. Growing up in Maine, Tipper developed a healthy wanderlust, which she has indulged fully. As a classical pianist, broad interests swayed her from the conservatory life, but inspired her songwriting. After college and grad school in the U.S. and studies in London, her persistent interest in world cultures inspired a move to West Africa where she worked with women’s cooperatives and AIDS education efforts. “One of my favorite things to do is to go somewhere I don’t know and get lost, and have to try to make sense of my surroundings. The kindness of strangers is always surprising and beautiful.” The rhythms of Africa pulsate in “Fatima,” where it’s evident that Tipper’s insights are deep. “Everyone wants to approach Africa with a ...
