New Additions:

drew3thDrew Emmitt - Long Road CD - Drew Emmitt, the dynamic lead singer and mandolin player from Leftover Salmon, releases his third solo album, Long Road. Some of the hottest Americana, bluegrass, and jamband musicians around were recruited for the recording of Long Road (Jeff Sipe among them). Each of the album's tracks is full of energy, great singing, fiery playing and infectious melodies. Long Road features eight original songs and three notable covers (Supertramp's "Long Way Home," Marshall Tucker Band's "Take The Highway" and Van Morrison's "Gypsy In My Soul"). Special Guests include Billy Nershi, Tim O'Brien, Darrell Scott, John Cowan, Stuart Duncan, Alison Brown, Ronnie McCoury, and more. $17.98


coffin4thJeff Coffin Mu'tet - Mutopia CD - Check him out in the video of the week! As a member of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Jeff Coffin is one of the world's most visible hornmen. Aided by an all-star cast of jazz, jam, bluegrass, and funk musicians, Coffin explores an impressive variety of styles on Mutopia, gracing each with his peerless energy, musicianship, and technique. Like some otherworldly fusion of MMW, The Meters, and ornette Coleman, Mutopia puts Coffin at the forefront of a new generation of improvising musicians - a generation for whom boundaries are meaningless and everyone is invited to the party. Jeff Coffin - saxes, flutes, etc; Roy "Futureman" Wooten - drum set; Felix Pastorius - bass; Kofi Burbridge - piano, keys, flute. Special guests includeBela Fleck, Victor Wooten, Roy Agree, Pat Bergeson, and more. $17.98
