Joe Henry, Aaron Neville, Bexar Bexar
Your Side of My World
Shunning the singer/songwriter label, Joe Henry makes meticulously-crafted, lush, atmospheric music - creating a stunning, surreal world of sound.
Nature Boy
The unmistakeable Aaron Neville returns with this collection of jazz standards from the 1940s and '50s -- his first ever recording of pre-rock tunes.
Motorcycles
This Chicago duo -- brothers John and Frank Navin -- get their name from a line of Eames furniture. This album is the second installment of a proposed trilogy of electronic chamber pop.
Aidos
From Texas, Bexar Bexar make minimalist, electronic instrumentals, at times reminiscent of Brian Eno's Music For Airports.
Robot Monster
The only two-time national fingerstyle guitar champion, Don Ross wrote this album as a tribute of sorts to his late wife.
Sonata Seconda
This is a beautifully crafted collection of Baroque compositions performed on organ, harpsichord and violin.
