Colin Linden is a genuine renaissance man of roots music. He’s a singer and songwriter of great skill; an in-demand and prolific record producer (Bruce Cockburn, Tom Wilson, Colin James); a side-man to the stars as guitarist for the likes of Bob Dylan, Greg Allman, Bruce Cockburn, Emmylou Harris, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss; a member of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings; plus there's his on and off-screen musical work on the TV series "Nashville." Linden’s songs have been covered by The Band, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Keb’ Mo’, and Colin James. His new release includes guests Charlie Musselwhite, Reese Wyman and Amy Helm.

Ralph Burns put together the music made for the 1974 film Lenny based on the life of comedian Lenny Bruce. Originally released on MGM, the music is laced with comedy skits from the film, with Bruce as portrayed by Dustin Hoffman. This remastered version was released by Rykodisc in 1997 as an enhanced CD, the enhanced portion can be found only in the FLAC version.

"Journeys The Heart Of The Blues", a dynamic new acoustic album from three of the blues' best players. Together, Grammy-winning guitarist vocalist and Blues Hall Of Farner Joe Louis Walker, virtuoso pianist Bruce Katz and next­ generation British harmonica ace Giles Robson take listeners on a musical tour of beautifully played, soulfully sung traditional blues. The album features a carefully chosen collection of eleven stripped­ down, unadulterated rare and classic blues and one newly written instrumental, all performed by absolute masters of the form. The album was conceived in December of 2016 when Joe Louis Walker first met and jammed with Giles Robson at a festival in the Netherlands. Robson imagined recording an acoustic blues album with Walker. Walker quickly agreed, and suggested adding famed piano player Bruce Katz to the mix. The result is "Journeys To The Heart Of The Blues".

Long term associates saxophonist Martin Archer and drummer Walt Shaw deliver an engaging and beautifully recorded improvised duo dialogue recorded real time in one session. The music is close to Archer's core influence of jazz in the tradition of Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Anthony Braxton, Leo Smith and other AACM artists.

Tales of the Glens is a journey through Ireland’s Glens of Antrim, as depicted in Anthony Capparelli’s piano album of compositions by Philip Hammond. Inspired by years of immersing himself in Celtic and Scandinavian traditions, Capparelli’s collection beautifully captures the essence of this picturesque region.

Like bandmates Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis, Colin Newman pursued his own recording projects when Wire went on hiatus in 1980. Originally released as separate albums in 1981 and 1982, Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish and Not To were Newman's second and third solo ventures respectively. Although his solo debut A-Z had been a foray into moderately mainstream territory, The Singing Fish was an about-face. Written, produced, and performed almost exclusively by Newman (Wire's Robert Gotobed contributes to one track), the album is virtually instrumental, comprising minimalist interludes as opposed to conventional songs.
