 Mike Doughty - Sad Man Happy Man CD - The largely acoustic Sad Man Happy Man is a deliberate return to everything people love about Mike Doughty, he makes albums that simmer with verbal wit, and Sad Man Happy Man is no exception with its songs about everything from relationship bust-ups (Doughty was going through one while he was recording it) to his astute observations about the American economy. "Basically I'm trying to make stuff I want to listen to," he says of the album. "And I mean that in a literal sense, not like, 'Were I a listener, I would like this,' but rather something I can listen to on the subway on headphones and really dig. This is my life, this is what I do. That sounds matter-of-fact, but I really do look at it as a sort of calling - and being an artist at its best is selfless. I'm working for the language, I'm working for the music, I'm working for the songs. I'm a happier guy when I'm conscious of that." $13.98
 Assylum Street Spankers - God's Favorite Band CD - Austin's iconic postmodern jug band takes a wide left turn with the world's first agnostic gospel album. Mixing raucous old traditionals with wryly humanistic originals from co-bandleader Wammo, the all-acoustic roots mob pays homage to one of America's seminal musical styles while staking out a theology of healthy skepticism leavened with tolerance. Taking a turn in the producer's chair, co-bandleader Christina Marrs decided to feature the group's incredible vocal technique: not only did she and Wammo record their best lead vocals to date, all five vocalists shine in rhythmically intricate and harmonically varied group arrangements. With special appearances from emeritus band members Guy Forsyth and Stanley Smith, "God's Favorite Band" is a witty, warm collection of wonderful songs, joyously sung. $16.95

"Deep In The Shade" follows their winning formula with another collection of diverse, mostly self-penned material guaranteed to please long time fans and introduce younger audiences to the high, lonesome sound of bluegrass. $15.98

 Relix: The Book - The Grateful Dead Experience - For the first time in one volume, here is the best of Relix magazine: the ultimate, spectacular history of the Grateful Dead and their fans. Relix magazine – much like the Grateful Dead, the band they captured relentlessly – was not just the backdrop for a generation, it was an inspiration. Begun in 1974 as a newsletter to connect Deadheads, the magazine exploded along with the tie-dyed community that embraced it. Relix: The Book is a compilation of the first 27 years of Relix magazine and includes interviews with Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, and all of the Dead's key players. A Deadhead family portrait and psychedelic timecapsule, it also features iconic groups such as the Doors and Phish, along with nearly three decades' worth of brain-melting artwork, full-color covers, and anecdotes from Relix founder Toni Brown, written exclusively for the book. For the global family of Deadheads, old-school hippies, and up and coming jam band fans, Relix: The Book is much more than an anthology, it is an event. $29.99
