3 brand new releases including progressive Americana/jazz/grass/roots bassist Missy Raines (winner of 7 IBMA Bass Player of the Year awards!), Scotland's neo-bardic, ISB-influenced singer songwriter Alasdair Roberts, a duo featuring the latest Burns Sister to throw her hat in the ring, a 2011 and probable final album from favored native son Glen Campbell whose voice on this recording is as lustrous and powerful as any he has made despite his publicly acknowledged battle with Alzheimer's, and finally a tribute to the late and truly great Louisa Jo Killen who passed away 8/9/13 after a series of health issues took their toll. Born a male into the macho coal-mining region of the northeast England, Lou Killen late in life became Louisa Jo Killen and between cradle and grave she became one of the the finest big ballad singers and concertina players, a member of the Clancy Bros for several years, and an inspiration to generations of singers and concertina players. A fond remembrance from Young Tradition's Heather Wood is online at http://singout.org/2013/08/10/louisa-jo-louis-killen-passes/
