From New York comes the sixth studio album from Americana band, JD
& The Straight Shot. Their new album titled "Good Luck And Good
Night" will be released on September 15th and was influenced by
traditional folk and classical music. They follow-up the release of
their new album with a string of live dates with The Doobie Brothers.
The new 10-song release begins with the up-tempo, foot-stomping rhythm
of "Redemption Train," before telling us the classic tale of the "Ballad
Of Jacob Marley." The wonderful harmonies of "Moonlight" and the gentle
folk delivery of "I Know You Know I Know" give the music authenticity as
if the band sat in a circle and recorded the songs with only one
microphone in the room. The album also includes two cover songs, the
first is simple, stark version of Three Dog Night's "Shambala" and the
other is a sweet, smooth cover of The Eagles' "It's Your World Now." The
album finishes with a return to the classic, clap-stomp rhythm of "Never Alone,"
based on Maya Angelou's poem, "Alone." To find out more about JD &
The Straight Shot and their latest release "Good Luck And Good Night,"

Arriving on September 22nd is the latest release from singer/songwriter
Ben Stevenson titled "Cara Cara." Sessions began at a studio near Joshua
Tree National Park and it sounds as if some of U2's influence also
seeped into the recording of this album. The new 12-track release begins with the Brazilian beats of "No Better Way" and the sweeping melody of "Up In The Morning." Ben
lets his vocals soar on the atmospheric feel of "Mind Movie," while
"Yellow Bird" displays his quieter, folk side. He experiments with his
music on "Some Kind Of Blue" and "Wavy Wednesday," before finishing up
his new album with the sweet harmonies of "Cara Cara" and the pop tones
of "Honeycola." To find out more about Ben Stevenson and his latest

From Nashville comes the new 6-six song EP from rocker Charlie Bonnet III
titled "Sinner With A Song." Bonnet has teamed up with L.A. Guns leader
Tracii Guns for this new album, which kicks off with the big guitar
riffs of the title song "Sinner With A Song." Bonnet keeps the energy
going with the seventies sounding rocker "Restless And Reckless," before
bringing on the blues with "Hometown Heroes." Bonnet finishes up his
new EP with the acoustic, country ballads "Heading Home" and "Cold And
Alone" as Tracii Guns mans the B3 organ. To find out more about Charlie
