Nashville-based
artists Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough have finally released their
first official, full-length collaboration titled "Mockingbird Soul." It
will be available at the end of January and features collaborations
with The Wood Brothers. Brigitte and Will have worked together before on
a number of songs for each others albums, but this is the first
complete work by these two amazing folk artists.
The new
album features a dozen tracks, beginning with the wonderful harmonizing
of "Everything" among the gentle acoustic backdrop. Kimbrough takes the
lead on the Americana tone of "Broken Fences" and DeMeyer delivers the
perfect blues-tone for "The Juke." Chris Wood of The Wood Brothers plays
bass on the countrified-funk rhythm of "Rainy Day" as you can easily
find the song's swinging groove. DeMeyer and Kimbrough bring their
voices together once again for the acoustic ballad "Little Easy" and the
more up-tempo strumming of "I Can Hear Your Voice." The wonderful tale
of "Carpet Bagger's Lullaby" features Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers
on vocals, before closing the album with their cover of the Incredible
String Band's "October Song," which reaches up to the six-minute mark.

Canadian singer/songwriter Lori Cullen recently released her new album
titled "Sexsmith Swinghammer Songs." If features her versions of songs
composed by Ron Sexsmith and Kurt Swinghammer, which also feature her special
style of combining elements of jazz, pop, folk and chamber music. The
new twelve-song release begins with the smooth, fun sounds of "Face Of
Emily" as her voice captures your heart, especially during the jazzy-pop
of "Miracle Home." Her voice and the music opens up on "New Love" as
she begins to draw similarities to the early days of Norah Jones. The
quietness of "This Morning" and "Some Part Of Me" reflect the gentleness
in her voice, while "True" closes the album with a relaxing, rainy-day
jazz backdrop. To find out more about Lori Cullen and her latest
